You dear men make me happy. I, too, was married. I lost my Austrian cop 10 years ago. Actually, I probably have been in gay bars maybe 10 times in my life! I had a long, horrible relationship before I met The Big Austrian. HE was a dream. You two look very happy and adorable with each other. Thanks so much for this. Joey
Thank you Joseph. We both feel very lucky to have found each other. Sorry for your loss, it doesn't get easier over time, does it? 🧡💜💛
@@thechatterguys Yes! Treasure each other every minute. My Hansel (Hans Peter) never even looked at me in a cross way. We met when we were around 40, so that did make a difference, I'm sure. He would say in his beautiful German/Viennese/Country accent, "Baby! You are my perfect treasure. I loff you to de skies!" And, no, it does not get easier. Thank you so very much for understanding. Joseph
Hans sounds wonderful. It sounds like you were very happy together ❤️
Gay at the Astoria was the best night out ever , used to travel from Coventry to London every Saturday night , over 3 thousand people all having a good time , saw so so many famous acts on there , shocking they knocked it down for cross rail , gay moved to heaven night club but nothing like the Astoria; the duke was a good place but but we got asked to be moved as a certain mr Norton was on he’s way in and we were sat in he’s preferred seats , so wasn’t happy about that
The Astoria was legendary. We even knew about it here in The North. Sadly, neither of us ever visited it ☹️ Thanks for sharing those memories, James 🌞❤️🌈
Me too. I went there 25 years ago. It was a different time. Much more nightlife and no social media.
Yes, things have certainly changed! 🌈🌈🌈
Hey up ChatterGuys. Beep beep ! 🚗🚗💨💨👍
Cheers Geoff! We didn't find a Wetherspoon's in London ☹️
@@thechatterguys i found a vegetarian Thai Restaurant in Soho, dont know if its still there tho? It was only cheap as well 🇹🇭🇹🇭😋😋😋😋🇹🇭🇹🇭👍👍🚗🚗💨💨 beep beep.
Cheers Geoff! We didn't have much luck with our dining experiences in London 😟🍟🍩
Can anyone suggest which bar should be good in London to meet mature older guys! I’m young 25 travelling from Munich and I’m normally into mature guys!
We hope you have a lovely time in London, a good start would be Compton bar, early doors especially on a weekend, thanks for your comment
Looks like you both enjoyed yourselves and the great outtakes suggest overdid the sherry lol thanks for a great video
Hi Rob! Right in both counts!! Great weekend and way too many sherries!!! 😆🍷🍹 Thanks for your comment 🧡
Colin is actually right. The original G.A.Y. was at The Astoria (Tottenham Court Road). This is where all the celebs like Kylie played. It was an enormous venue with several floors. Sadly The Astoria was demolished a few years ago to make way for Crossrail. The bar you attended here is completely different. A poor relation if you like. I think Heaven took over some of the G.A.Y. nights like "Camp Attack" but it's very different to the original G.A.Y.
Thanks for your comment, Richard. As you can tell, we're not clued up on the London scene. Next time we visit London, we're taking you out with us! 🎯🎤🏳️🌈
All the good places closed years ago...we go to Hackney wick now for the gay club nights .....
G-A-Y Bar coexisted with G-A-Y (the club night) when it was at the Astoria, it's not a poor relation at all. Effectively it opened as somewhere to go before the club night, or when you wanted the G-A-Y experience on another day of the week. It also spawned a late night bar nearby called G-A-Y Late (now closed).
G-A-Y as a club night was homeless for a while after the Astoria closed, but eventually they bought Heaven which is now its home.
Thank you Zappomatic. Club history is clearly very complicated! Happy New Year 🎊
Lesson learned, never trust a toilet sign unless it’s telling you ‘out of order’ 😂
We learned that one the hard way, Mr S! 🚽🍕😂
OMG! Welcome to London. Lads, next time you come down, hit up Halfway to heaven or the Admiral Duncan! Xoxo. Chill bars either way a punch. :-). Love you guys!! Thank you!!
Cheers Mike A! We did visit the Admiral Duncan, Mike, but Halfway to Heaven is definitely on our list for the next time we visit. Thanks for your comment, we love you too 🧡🩷🍷 xxx
@@thechatterguys don’t forget to go to Retro Bar!!!!!!! And try the Cock Tavern, totally hidden gems. 💎 xoxoxox first round on me! 🫡
@@thechatterguys let’s us know when you done in Londonium! Cheers!
We definitely will!! Thanks Mike!! 🌈☔👛
Another great video guys , and I liked the music you played in the background
Glad you enjoyed it! 🍷❤️ Thanks for your comment, Stephen 🎧🧡🍹
guys you are my new favourite channel
Aww! Thank you Dark Cat. Welcome to the Chatter Gang! ❤️
WHAAAT?! I thought I was subscribed to your channel. I even watched one of your Friday night shows. The last months have been FAMILY HELL! Anyway, so nice to see you Cuties again! Joey
Hiya Joey! Thanks for your message. Hopefully you'll be able to join us on the Live Chat soon (this week it's on Thursday instead of Friday) 🌞♥️🔔 xxx
@@thechatterguys Thanks, guys! I hope to see you on Thursday! Big kiss!!
😘
Wow, watched again. My trip is now exactly 4 months from today...to UK!!! This has helped massively. I believe I can walk around that district easily and pick up men...:))😘😘
We hope you have a lovely time when you visit London, Joseph 🌞🌍🌈
How Much?! LOL great video
That's the Yorkshireman's battle cry!! HOW MUCH!!!! 😆😂🤣 xxx Cheers Paul 🌞
I ❤ your channel and insights
Thank you so much!! What a smashing comment!! 💚🩷🤍
Soho is not really that gay anymore. Most of the bars are full of straight people and there's not nearly as many bars/clubs as there used to be. There's been changes in the last decade or so. A combination of dating apps, and people not drinking as much i guess. Its definitely lost its edge, but so has canal st Manchester. Changing times.
Indeed! The LGBT+ scene has changed nearly everywhere although two of our favourite places, Blackpool and Benidorm still have a great vibe 🌈❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Prefer Blackpool and Manchester or even Leeds over London.
Cheers Oldman. We're Northerners so we're not so familiar with London and maybe we didn't choose the best places to visit. Luckily, the Chatter Gang have given us a few pointers for the next time we visit 🇬🇧💂🇬🇧💂
Manchester was best, but have you been to Canal st lately? Run down, empty, sad looking. It really does feel like the days of gay nightlife are waning.
The LGBT+ scene is certainly changing now we are more integrated with general society. We miss the old days but things are much better generally for the LGBT+ community in other ways 🌈❤️😘
@thechatterguys It's better, but we are a minority. We still need these places. It's not all about homophobia. Maybe these venues will come back in time?
Agreed! We are members of a gay men's group and it is so nice to socialise with your gay brothers 🌈
You brighten my day guys❤❤
What a lovely comment, Peter! You just made our day 😘🧡🌟
Thanks chatters, wow I can see why Tim left his pizza after the toilet cam yuk. Compton's and Admiral would be my choices. Great video 🎉
Hi Rob! You know that saying - 🍕 Pizza is like sex - even when it's bad it's good? We now have the proof that it's wrong! 😂🌈✨
We 💯 agree on your choice of bars!! ❤️🩷💙
Great video. I'll share this with our members, terrific prospective 👍
Thank you, Leeds Gay Men!! 🌈😘✨
Name?
We're Colin and Tim 🌞
Hi, Joey here. I've watched a video of a guy walking through Soho, and I think he must have been STRAIGHT!! None of this is shown. Did you say at one point, " this looks like the gay area"? It was the big store with pics of men in underwear!!! Thanks!
Thanks for your comment Joey. We hope you enjoyed the video😘🏳️🌈💚
@@thechatterguys 😘😘😘
🥰
How much!!! Love your vids and I agree, Tim Admiral wood be my type of bar. G A Y looked good Colin and old Compton too. 😊
Cheers Andrew. Tim loved the Admiral Duncan because it reminded him of how gay bars used to be. The bar staff at Comptons were amazing - really friendly and super quick service! 🍷🍸🍹 xxx
There is a rumour it attracts the skinny twinks for the creepy owner....say no more...!!
Love you're both on longer. How much for that pizza😮x love to you both ❤❤
Hi Sally. Love you too! The 🍕 pizza. was overpriced!! 😄 They were, £13.50 and £12.50 but they had the cheek to add a service charge, too 🤬 xxx
Hiya guys love your vids but i must say London definitely know how to rip people off ee are going to Blackpool next weekend £12 for 2 home cooked lovely mesls in peekabooze free entertainment and reasonably priced booze much more to our liking 👍
Hi Gren! We love Blackpool too and the Sunday dinner at Peek-A-Booze is 😋 delicious!! Have a great weekend!! 🕺🎤🍾
OMG. The eyebrows. LMAO. You did her dirty. The drinks seem super expensive. I'm from the USA and thinking of visiting London. I cannot comprehend visiting three different bars and spending almost $30 on drinks.
Hi Tubba! Thank you for your comment. We couldn't let those eyebrows pass without commenting 😂 Those drink prices are not unusual in London, unfortunately 🍻
next time get to halfway to heaven bar off trafalgar square, the best drag pub in london
That sounds right up our street, S mxc. Thank you for your recommendation! xxx ❤️💙💚
"Don't spike ??? or you'll go to prison"??? What is that, please? You guys are mighty cute, as we say here in Nashville, TN. Thanks a lot for this! I will be in London (and Bath and Devon) in September. I have traveled but only been to Vienna overseas. Very excited to go to London. Not even sure if I should check out anything "gay". But, these places look nice and safe. Joey, Oh, I subscribed and liked!
Hi Joey. Thank you for liking and subscribing. Spiking is when someone slips something into your drink to drug you. Not a common practice but something everyone should be aware of, wherever they are.
We're hoping to make a few more London videos later this year 💂🇬🇧💂🇬🇧
@@thechatterguys Well, of course! I knew that at one time! Ha! We have the same expression here. Thanks so much, you two Cuties!
Thanks Chatters enjoyed soho video
Thank you, Tina! Nice to hear from you again xxx ❤️🩷💙
That 1st pizza slice was too floppy . The chef may need to put abit of the old viagra in his pizza dough next time it might do the trick! 😂😂😂
LOL! Colin says that a perfect pizza slice should bend, but it shouldn't be too limp 😉 Peaky 😎🍦🌞

Grazie per il tuo commento. L'abbiamo inserito in Google Translate ma non siamo ancora riusciti a capirlo 🇮🇹💖👍
Oh always wanted to play at Heaven, btw it's about a 15 Min walk from Soho, did you go to heaven. I think Colin would love it ❤. Great video thanks 👍
Thanks for your comment, DJ Mico. Colin wouldn't be able to stop himself talking over the records 🎤⏺️🎧
I love good service and smiley staff.
Us too, Russ! It costs nowt and creates a great atmosphere ✨💯👕
Love you're shirt Tim
Thanks Nigel! That was the first time that I wore it 👕✨🌈
Pizza looked amazing 😋
Looks can be deceiving, Jason! Colin's 🍕 pizza was all right, not great though and Tim's was 😞 awful. Thanks for your comment, though! 🕺🍔😁
Really?
Looked soggy and limp…..not what you want in a Pizza….or anything else really 😜
Ha ha! Our thoughts exactly, Monkey Boy! 😂 Great username, by the way 👍🌞🧢
Pizza Hut or' Pizza Express anytime ! Alot cheaper better quality and you get all the trimmings etc 😉😋👌❤
Agreed, Peaky! We wanted to try somewhere different. We'll never go there again!! 🍕😭🔮
I've been to Compton's before seeing 'Jersey Boys' the musical.
Hi Gerald. Tim has always fancied seeing Jersey Boys. Is it good? 🎶🎷🪇
@@thechatterguys It was a Christmas special,but i still got to hear 'Mr Bojangles'
Yeah it was good.
Thanks, Gerald. We'll see the show when we have the opportunity 🍸🍔🎤
Expensive chatter guys ❤❤
That's capital cities for you, Peter! Thanks for your comment 🙂🩷🙏
Top 10 pizza in the world based on a poster in the bog?
It was our worst tasting Pizza in the world, until we paid a visit to an upcoming restaurant review 😂
Hi Chicas, How are you? I am going to London in October, Any suggestions about any gay rocking club with some freaking house to die for? please
Hola guapa! We are great, thank you, Tania. We can't recommend any venues in London because we are only familiar with the ones we featured in our video. We hope you have a wonderful visit and we are sure you won't have any trouble finding an awesome nightclub in London! ❤💛💚
Look up queer East parties...Hackney.
I would love to dance to house all night on Saturday night till morning or when i get kick out
You are our type of girl, Tania. We're always the last to be kicked out of bars. We never know when it is time to go home!! 🍹
@@thechatterguys love you. totally me
You are precious when you've had 3 pints!!!! Keep drinking!
We can't hold out beer 🍻 can we, Joey? We keep trying, though 😂😂😂
I bought a Who t shirt in Soho in 1983
Classics never age, Nigel!! 👕👴🕺
The Yard has always been loud , busy and yuppie . Lucky to gets seats even upstairs . Very overpriced. Used to meet up there years ago before going elsewhere. So glad I moved away from London . Prices are ridiculous
Hiya Eddie! Thank you for your comment. We're at that age where we like to sit down and to be able to hear each other speak 😄🍻🍷
Gay bar is dire....went once...walked out...dirty...dude staff...horrible customers !!
Yikes! That's shocking, especially with the beer prices, you'd expect top class service 🍺
11:06 - Handsome guy with a great smile 😍
When we read your comment we knew exactly who you were referring to! We 💯 agree with you Stanbily!! xxx ❤️💙🩵
Bye Eck lad col I would only eat half of that pizza , do hope you're both well
Hi Nigel! We're good thank you. When we filmed that we had only eaten a crumpet and half a bag of Haribo that day, so we were ravishing!! 🍕🍕🍕
Does Tim moan a lot?
I moan all the time Joanne! 😁😆🤣
