i can't remember ever hearing N's voice, even tho i met him at Glastonbury

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

he sounds something like this:

"I don't think so..."

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't remember ever hearing N's voice, even tho i met him at Glastonbury

oh yeah, was he one of the crowd of guys wearing construction overalls or something, that i thought was a random passerby, but turned out not to be?

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:54 (twenty-one years ago)

whoa! looks like Ian Brown and sounds like joe cornish, what a freak!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

haha

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I think maybe we're all sick of the same old men's boozers and want N. to inject a little glamour into things.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

You have an interesting definition of glamour barry.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:58 (twenty-one years ago)

from now on Mark will do the thinking for all of us...

but yeh, a change is as good as a fap - i just can't think of any adequate bars, my bar knowledge is lacking, no bar expert me, you may deride my bar-recommending ability

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:59 (twenty-one years ago)

are there bars with bar billiards?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

The gig I'm planning to go to takes place downstairs at a bar. Its in stoke newington, tho'.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Bars:

Freud most cocktails under a fiver and generous, top of shaftsbury av, no tap beers, stuck in 1992 but in a good way

YO Below, Poland St, Karaeoke, beer on tap at the table (danger danger), japanese snacks

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

keston lodge in islington would actually have room for all of us, and isn't stupid expensive...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds alright, and i can hobnob with Centaur staff ("don't you think £5.50 is a bit of a joke price for Creative Review?")

went to the goodge bar on goodge street once and it was ok

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:05 (twenty-one years ago)

is that frevd related to the oxford frevd ed? also haven't i asked you this quesiton before?

(keston lodge being what used to be granita, and run by the same people who run the lock tavern, fact fans)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm going to check out YO below one of these days.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, The Social on little Titchfield st

We could compromise and ggo to one of the Bierodromes and rink expensive beers

Steve, I don't know?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't remember ever hearing N's voice, even tho i met him at Glastonbury

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

keston lodge actually used to be an all bar one...granita was a couple doors down, and is now a turkish restaurant.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

yes?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

what about The Lab on old compton street? i've heard good things about it.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

My gay husband works there.

― Danger Whore (kate), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:14 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't the main problem with freud that it's too small for all of us? (unless there's no other customers, i mean)

xpost-- the lab is great but EXPENSIVE. nice for one cocktail, too much for staying for a whole evening.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Lab and Freuds are both teeny tiny.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:16 (twenty-one years ago)

If you get to freud early doors then ilx can take over the rea to the right of the door as you go in. It never gets really busy till after 8 anyway.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:16 (twenty-one years ago)

That is a point.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick isn't fussy. are you Nick?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Bar? Bah more like.

When a place can get a plug by being not as expensive as you'd think, there's immediately a big flashing warning light which says 'at least 3 pounds a pint' goes off.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha. "Pint."

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I am cool with anything as long as it doesn't involve endless fannying around.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree with MDC. I think Alba or the steering commitee should state a place and a time and should be the end of the matter.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I have an idea. I will be free earlier on, when I can see anyone who a) is around and b) doesn't hate bars in one of the suggestions above (the Lab or Freud's).

We can move onto the pub at 8pm or something, by which time we will all run out of money for £20 cocktails anyway.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Anna and Toby - when will you two have to leave for your dinner party?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

considering virtually none of the founding members of the steering committee post any more i think others need to take up the reigns, innit...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Freuds early on, Glasshouse Stores after

see you next week (if not before)

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Fancy a Ponce

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

woah, look at manniong stepping up to the plate, if only ancient history wasn't against him, he'd be a shoe in ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Uncharacteristic decisiveness there from Stevem. I approve.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:42 (twenty-one years ago)

IT WAS MY IDEA. But I accept that Captain Manni0n stamped his authority on it.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

earlier on means about 6pm?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

you are all gaye

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Ahem. It is spelt 'gheye'.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

not the way i mean

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah well you're probably just nicking someone else's definition anyway so what does it matter?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

;)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

earlier on means about 6pm?

MAYBE EVEN EARLIER

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

:-0

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Watch your bags in Freud's - people's got nicked last time I was in there. And it IS tiny (and pretty uncomfortable, and expensive), but as it's a school night it might be alright.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I can get to Freud at about 5.35. Maybe even 5.33.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

How did you make the words go back to front?

I cannot read them, easily.

it's this thing that on earth we call "typing"

I want Carol Vorderman to do deliciously nasty and perverted things to me with her .smra

MRSA?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 21 October 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

it's a conundrum

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I certainly don't want any part of Carol Vorderman's MRSA.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 21 October 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Digital cameras? Oh, I dunno - I can't believe Canon has a complete monopoly on affordable-but-gosh-isn't-it-good? point-and-shoots so, er, look at some others too. I never see my Ixus i in shop windows along TCR so I can only assume it's old hat and there's something even sleeker with an optical zoom, dental floss and an ejector seat coming onto the market.

I just got a batch of SLR photos back from Snappy Snaps - they're almost all rubbish and when you've spent £6 that actually matters.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 21 October 2004 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you have the best old hat

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Thursday, 21 October 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

We have Panasonic DMC-LC50EB, which you get from their website. It is advertised in newspapers. I think it was just under 150 quid, but then you have to spend about 50 on extra things like memory card and either battery charger or wheelbarrowful of batteries. And a case. 3.2 mega pixels, 9x digital zoom, 3x optical zoom, whatever that means. You can get it to do all the thinking for you. My main disgruntlement is that it takes a while between starting to press the shutter and the picture actually being taken, so I get quite a few pictures of places where someone has just walked past. The supposedly big deal is it has got a Leica lens. I'm not sure whether I recommend it or not, because I don't have anyhting to compare it with. It's a lovely little toy though.

Snappy Snaps usually charge me 9 pounds. It is run by goths.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 21 October 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, Frank Skinner clashes with Question Time.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

How can anything involving Skinner result in a clash?

― the bellefox, Thursday, 21 October 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I am told he SPOKE OF THE BAR MEETING and DENIED THEY WERE WORKING TOGETHER.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 October 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I couldn't face it after two minutes of Pamela Anderson talking shite.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 22 October 2004 07:45 (twenty-one years ago)

His programme's in trouble if Pamela Anderson's the best he can do in terms of guests. I suppose Tara P-T will be back on soon, seeing as she is, as it were, back on (the wagon).

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 22 October 2004 07:49 (twenty-one years ago)

the radio 6 news said the announcement denied rumours that were printed in the daily mirror. carsmile's posts certainly get around 8)

makes me wonder what mischief we could conjure up if we put our minds to it.

I wish I'd never brought Blur to that bar in the first place

I wish I'd never brought Blair to the bar in the first place.

Derry Irvine shurely? Shcotch anyone?

I aaw Graham Coxon on the repeat of Frank Skinner. I was surprised at how much of a freak he appears to be. Skinner did indeed mention the meeting, saying he'd read it in the paper. What paper? The Daily Carsmile? The Carsmile Bugle? The Carsmile Examiner? He didn't give much away, but he was at pains to point out that it wasn't a secret meeting and that they didn't go out in false beards, so perhaps we don't need to write everything backwards after all. Wehp! It was quite a good interview, but a bit strange, mainly because no one laughed, which seems to be the point of Frank Skinner. Coxon's performance (musical) was very good, I thought. Then I switched over and it was Chuck Berry and he was about ten million times better.
