Jesus lads, this was on page 6 of the forum.

Masons re-opening Friday night.

Link

Great News,

On a busy night Sinnots is jammed so that might take some of the pressure off. I'll be interested to see what kind of route they go down because towards the end of the previous Masons I found it very rough at times.

Masons was a kip before it closed, the biggest mistake they made was changing the layout. It was a bottleneck in there at that bar. The problems they had went far beyond the layout though, they'd want to properly regulate who they leave in because if they don't nobody will go in and it will be closed soon enough again.

It's more or less the same set up as last time, security, management etc.
I'd say the same rough element will be drawn back like flies to s**te

Don't know. Last activity was involving Oscar's bar. Mods said to quit bitching, and that's all she wrote. He closed his account after that.

I couldn't see that being the only reason. I'd imagine like allot of posters who have been around for some years they reach the age that real life inevitably gets in the way. Thinking about it now there are quite a few from a couple of years ago who would have posted the whole time but aren't around anymore. Maybe he's still around under a different uselessness...

I'm not saying that is the reason. I have no idea why.
That was just the last series of posts.

That's not the reason from when I spoke to him anyway. I won't say what he said as it's not my position to but it wasn't any big deal like quitting in a huff or anything.

Pity, usually liked his posts.

I don't think its fair to discuss someone who is no longer on the forum, and has no cause to defend him/herself or clarify reasons for departure. As ziedth mentioned, sometimes real life gets in the way. Many people close accounts to get away from Boards with the intention of returning again in the future under a fresh slate. So, on that note, I think we will all agree its best to stick to the topic at hand.

That's definitely not true. The Guards didn't object at all.

Would of had to be done through the courts so makes sense on hearing it was the cops, when it was actually the fire officer.

Major clanger in their part either way.

I heard from a *very* reliable source that a witch came and told them they weren't allowed open it or they would insult the gods and be doomed for all eternity.

You guys need to check your sources. Fire officers? Guards? Nah, i'm telling you, it was the witches.

Or the ghost of Davy Mac. He used to cause awful trouble for us when it was the Junction.

Sorry to tell you buddy but your reliable source is talking ****

Its very simple, they didnt get signed off by the fire officer, they went to the courts and that was the first time the officer had seen the plans, and how the interior had been altered. He objected as he hadnt signed it off, they tried to get it done that day but obviously it was never going to work. Should be open next week though

If it is a fire safety issue it will open when the fire officer says it can, and if that doesn't match up with the rag week plans, then tough.
