Maybe not such a shame ... Apartments? Hotel? Nah, it would have been an even bigger shame if it had been converted into something it was never meant to be. Better that it lives on in the memories of those of us who had great times there ... even tho' many of the memories are confused by alcohol, raging hormones, and the Nosmo Kings thumping away in the background. I'll always remember that place: winning the jackpot, a whole pound!!!!, on the one-armed bandit with my last tanner, looking up from the snooker table and seeing the news report of JFK's assassination ... lotsa neat shiite. It's part of my growing up; and I wouldn't want some asshole of a developer [deleted] around with it.
