History Forum / General / British History / August 2006Renia Simmonds -- Former Hot Chick -- 30 Years Ago
My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago. You Go, Girl! In both Bristol and Brighton, to be sure. She has admitted to Brighton -- but not to Bristol, understandably -- Cary Grant's home town. ------------------------------------------------------- "You must be a hot chick." "Well, you'll have to ask "The Boys" about that! But, Tiglath, you should have been there when I was doing the clubs of Brighton about 25 years ago! Hot?" Renia Simmonds -- 16 February 2001 -------------------------------------------------------- After all, a girl needs a little out-of-town fun as well ---- away from prying eyes, you know. And Bristol was further away for her than Brighton. God knows we see that sort of thing in Waikiki. In fact, DSH has even taken advantage of that delicious phenomenon, on occasion.... I'm not surprised at all that Renia doesn't want to talk about her escapades in Bristol. A girl has to have some secrets. Why, I've never told her *everything* I've done in Tijuana, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong, Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore, Moscow, Honolulu or Rome either. 'Nuff Said. D. Spencer Hines Lux et Veritas et Libertas "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Attributed to Edmund Burke [1729-1797] "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." ---- William Shakespeare [1564-1616] The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, Act I, Scene V, Line 166 > My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and > Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago. > > You Go, Girl! > > In both Bristol and Brighton, to be sure. Never been to Bristol. My stomping ground was Brighton, as I previously said. Only by 1976, I was already engaged to the man to whom I am still married. Prior to that, well, yup, dancing was what I liked to do, and I danced all over the country. I lived and worked in Edinburgh and Essex, so I danced there. Commuted to London, so I danced there. Moved to Germany and danced there. And I'm still dancing in Greece. > She has admitted to Brighton -- but not to Bristol, understandably -- Cary > Grant's home town.

Indeed. But I've never been to Bristol. Don't know anything about it. In those days, the furthest west I had ever been was Longleat and Stonehenge. Although we did get to Cheddar Gorge, but we still managed to avoid Bristol. > Why, I've never told her *everything* I've done in Tijuana, Tokyo, Paris, > Berlin, Hong Kong, Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore, Moscow, Honolulu or Rome > either. > > 'Nuff Said.

On the 7th I set off across England with two horses and won't be around for a couple of weeks. I've already admired the picture of Dr. Ruth; for the rest I couldn't possibly comment due to insufficient evidence. If you are anywhere near Avebury on the Sunday I hear the pub there used to collect anecdotes about visiting Americans. I intend to give it a visit.

That's "Shovell", as in Sir Cloudesley.

But I will say that after seeing Dr. Ruth and reading her C.V., I will concur with the many who say you married up ... you lucky dog ... you must be good at something or other ...%) Have a good time in the land of our Queen! - nilita > > My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and > > Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago.

Maybe you can get him to admit he is the reason the good bars in Misawa are signed "Japanese Only". They used to have a little sign below "And that means you Mr. Hines, whether your wife is with you or not" "Recently I visited Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, to see friends at the local American Air Force base. Going out for drinks on the evening of March 28, 2002, we discovered several cheap bars (all you can drink for 2000-4000 yen an hour, hostesses' drinks included) a few minutes from the base's main gate. However, they had signs outside saying "JAPANESE ONLY" and denied us entry." http://www.debito.org/misawaexclusions.html > > >>>My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and > > >>>Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago.

Why, only as recent as 1961 did the PGA remove the "whites only" from its constituion to access on their golf clubs. You can't expect every country to be as modern as the US of A in their liberal attitudes. ##minty... > > > >>>My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and > > > >>>Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > ##minty... If you read the cite the bars are those run, more or less, by yakuza. They do not want American servicemen in their bars because they don't understand the "billing" process, don't have much money and are too aggresive with the girls. The author is a Caucasian naturalized Japanese citizen, they still won't let him in. The bar girls and hostesses are all foreigners, Filipinos and Russians by and large, which is a prestige item in Japan. One of the explanations given by the Japanese authorities is that Misawa is in a very rural conservative part of Japan and they worry about their sweet lovely daughters being "forced" to get social with dirty, poor foreigners. > My informants tell me that Renia used to make the rounds in both Bristol and > Brighton and was quite the hot number indeed ---- 30 years ago.
