It's Bukowski Time Again
Regular readers will be gagging for more Chuck Bukowski. Here's one called what seems to be the trouble, gentlemen? the service was bad and the bellboy kept bringing in towels at the wrong moment drunk, I finally clubbed him along the side of the head. he was a little man and he fell like an October leaf. quite done, and when the fuzz came up I had the sofa in front of the door, and the chain on, the 2nd movement of Brahms' First Symphony and had my hand halfway up the ass of a broad old enough to be my grandmother and they broke the god damned door, pushed the sofa aside; I slapped the screaming chippy and turned and asked, what seems to be the trouble, gentlemen? and some young kid who had never shaved brought his stick down against my head and in the morning I was in the prison ward chained to my bed and it was hot, the sweat coming down through the white senseless sheet, and they asked all sorts of silly questions and I knew I'd be late for work which worried me immensely

I see there is a new pub opened in Glasgow called "Chinaski's". There was a review in the Herald and it appears to be the place for the trendy young professionals to hang out.....not exactly the sort of joint you would expect to find Henry then !!
No - you are very right. Your average visit to a pub for Henry Chinaski usually resolved into a fist-fight and/or copious projectile-vomiting onto all parts of the decor.
But then I believe that 'Scruffy Murphy's' won't let you in if you are (a)not wearing a tie and/or (b) called Murphy.
