JtN: which bands?

I don't know that tune.

Barr is and was no rock star, no rock Barr.

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 15 June 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

not in a literal sense, pf.

apparently all bands playing the uea these days find it absolutely imperative to reference alan partridge too. "hello norwich! spiceworld!" that kind of thing.

My mother just mailed me the latest issue of Ziggurat!

― Semaphore Burns (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Funnily enough one band I remember doing the 'Sale of the Century' theme were...

...Shelleyan Orphan.

I miss getting Ziggurat. I wonder if it still shows up at my mum's house?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I read with interest that one of my classmates is now a program executive at CH4. :/

And here I am, building databases...

Thanks, Mum.

when's East?

― artist, Wednesday, 22 June 2005 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

If I was in a band playing UEA, I would probably "do" Delia Smith's "Let's be having you!" speech to whip the crowd into a frenzy.

For one exciting moment upthread, I thought Jerry the Nipper's mum had posted.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, and those are the results for a filming locations query (i.e. not settings).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Some REAL classics there.

i was in norwich train station at the weekend

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I know it well...did you stop just inside the entrance for a pint of bitter?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Did you buy a book that came with a free torch?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

no, we waited on platform 5, for a train to cromer

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 19:16 (eighteen years ago) link

You and Lauren? Did you take pictures for me to see? Will you put them on Flickr?

Shall I revive the London walks thread?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

no, not lauren!

Spencer, did you sign up for imdbpro

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I 'know someone' and have been gifted thus.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I think part of Wicker Man was shot in Norwich. And IIRC, there was a commercial spot for Honda a few years back featuring the Norwich library.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Wrong on Wicker Man.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Norwich library (err, "forum")

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I miss it. Perhaps I'll go up for a daytrip. Pour out a 40 for my homies in Constable Terrace block 9, that shit's my heart yo.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 19:44 (eighteen years ago) link

The library is a treat!

Norman Foster, cool or fool?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I really, really like the designs for the Beijing Airport. Some of his London stuff I'm less crazy about ...

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

it's not so much Foster as 'Foster and Partners', essentially 4 semi-independant practices operating under the same brand name, hence the variability.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I grew up there, remember many drunken teenage nights down Ritzys. Norwich in the 80's when you couldn't get served was a bummer though.

There are some fantastic pubs; the locals say there are 365 pubs and 52 churches,one for every dya/week of the year.

The Cathedral and Tombland and the Market are my favourite spots ; not sure about Castle Mall though.

― Rachel Mc (Badgerkitten), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Ritzys!

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Ritzys! Shitzys!

In the 80's their music policy was 'play Chris de Bugh lady in red', so people can slow dance, then play the Cure 'love cats', indie and goth kids do shoe dance, then play the Cult 'Sanctuary', indie and goth kids do windmill dance, then play jive bunnygirls people do the twist and fall over their handbags. Different tribes of kids on the floor, off again, on the floor, off agin, every 3 minutes.

Also Hys Nite Spot in Tombland was a laugh; light up dance floor and you could pull US servicemen on leave from the air base and they would buy me and my 15 year old friends whisky/vodka and cokes every half hour until we were either sick, or we snogged them.

― Rachel Mc (Badgerkitten), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Hys!

I know all of these places! The library wasn't there last time I was in Norwich though.

I miss the brisk air and the weird winter sunsets, the peace of the countryside. Perhaps I will just become a writer and move back there or soemthing.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

The Adam and Eve was great! I used to go there every Tuesday. Pig in Armor was good, too: a weird old man pub that was usually empty. And Murderer's Pub couldn't be beat for ambience, IMHO.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

The Golden Star, the Murderers, The Reindeer and the Adam and Eve were my favourites. The Arts Centre and Indoor Market were essential teenage hangouts as well.

THE MITRE

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 20:47 (eighteen years ago) link

JtN: last time I received Ziggurat I was going to e-mail them and tell them to send it to you too. Then I didn't, because I thought you might not want it. It looks like I should have done.

― the bellefox, Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:54 (eighteen years ago) link

― Lil' Eno (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 February 2006 18:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Thank you, little Eno.

Part of The Wicker Man was not shot in Norwich - there's no place for ritual culture with my people; we've never had that kind of community spirit.

The Norwich of today is a very different place to the one I grew up in, but only in that there are 5,000 shops for people to have to work in instead of 100. There really has been fuck all else to do there for a few years, which is why I left. It is a really nice place when you know all the really nice people there, as I used to. But it's a crap place to visit if you don't have any personal or nostalgic connections to it.

Word to the wise: Prince of Wales Road is where you kids will - guaranteed - get beaten up after closing time.

― Ken (Ken), Friday, 10 February 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Really? I lived in Norwich about five years ago, and PoW road was rowdy and slightly unpleasant, but never felt dangerous. Has it gone majorly downhill since then?

Are you Wooden?

― Lil' Eno (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yes you are. I was wondering where you'd gone.

― Lil' Eno (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi.

― chap who would dare to be completely sober on a friday night (chap), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:20 (eighteen years ago) link

hey

― Lil' Eno (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Didn't realise that was you actually, adam. Reminiscing about UEA, thems were the days.

― chap who would dare to be completely sober on a friday night (chap), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, remember when we reminisced last? good times.

― Lil' Eno (nordicskilla), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm already anticipating future reminiscences.
