The Bouncing Bomb

To all my Bomb Girls and Boys.
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the Dambusters Raid on the Ruhr Dams, and of course the day that spawned the epithet, The Bouncing Bomb.
I invite you all to raise a glass with me at 1900 hours, to honour those that took part.
Personally, I will be partaking of my signature cocktail, The Blue Ensign.

This year fate has thrown me through many twists and turns. Building me up, only to pull the rug from under me.
Once again this has happened. Just as I was feeling comfortable at The Slye Fox, I been given my marching orders and - once again - without a valid reason.
I was getting somewhere, in making it a more accepting place.
Maybe I pushed too hard, too quick, I don’t know.
What I do know is what the owner said to me - and I quote - ‘I don’t want this to turn into a gay bar’.
And so my friends, I am so very sorry to have led you to believe, that I had found a warm and accepting bar.
It’s not!!!

Good afternoon all, it’s been a while, and I wonder how many are still following The Bomb page.
I’ve been moving around somewhat, for a year or so, in search of somewhere, where I can use my talents, and make it better.
Well, I am now settling in as GM at The Slye Fox in Burlington, and I have finally got The Bomb mojo back.
I invite you all, come to The Slye, and enjoy what we have to offer. I have a lot of work to do but, it is, and will be, THE place to be and be seen!

There's something in the air,
A whisper in the breeze.
She has a new lair
A new day she did seize.

Mark the date on your calendar........
Friday 8th December 2017.

If you are interested in a re-incarnation of The Bomb, please read this proposal.

I have made no secret of my desire to re-incarnate The Bomb.
The fact that it was taken from under me, before The Bomb’s true potential was achieved, broke my heart.

Indeed, The Bomb has become a watchword for safety in the LGBTQ community, and has engraved its own mark on the hearts and minds of so many, and this only serves to deepen my resolve.

During my enforced convalescence and confinement, I have put much thought and effort into how I can resurrect The Bomb.
I have a Business Plan in place, and much of the method of creation is in hand, the only thing I lack is the funding to put the plan and design into practice.

Quite frankly, I cannot do this alone.

In discussions with friends, in an attempt to brainstorm an answer to the problem, we came up with the idea of asking for investments, in increments of $1000. The idea being that individual investments can be as little or as much as you feel comfortable with.

The idea that re-incarnation of The Bomb might be due to followers of ‘the cross’, I find rather amusing!

I want to make it clear that this is not charity. Investments will earn interest annually, with the ultimate goal of total repayment in the future.

The question is, how much interest is there in this idea?

Do you believe in the vision, do you have faith in me?

The few people that I have broached the idea with, have given me a positive response, so I am encouraged that this could, indeed, be the solution.

The goal here is to get the next incarnation of The Bomb up and running, not necessarily to get business partners.

The Bomb cannot be re-created without help, but I am convinced it will happen!

If this is of interest to you, please either message me, or send an email to [email protected]. It would be very helpful to me if you could let me know an amount you would be able to pledge, so that I can assess the viability of this idea.

Thank you.

For legal reasons, I have had to remove the Bouncing Bomb sign from the front of the pub.

Despite this, The Bomb will still be open, as usual, until the end of the year!

The Bomb is now decorated for Christmas - rather resembling Genni's Grotto.........complete, of course with the, now infamous, Pantie tree!

A heads up to anybody thinking of heading to The Bomb today, Friday 27th December.
The Bomb will be closing at 6pm for a Private Party.
Apologies if this inconveniences anybody.

Happy 94th birthday Johnny Johnson, last of the Dambusters!
