Oh me too. I would conduct all transactions elctronically if I could. They are good though, so it might be worth it...

See you Sat maybe!

I'll be up for a drink if I'm allowed to come along (by the "missus", and you lot). Not too fond of the Lobster, but I'll put up with it.

Lion & Lobster is definitely cheap for rooms though.

Has anyone spoken with Nick B, Dave B or any other Brighton ilxors?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

B-b-but Dark Star! (Yes I know the Lobster is no Evening Star but it's closer to my house so...)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

I will allow you to pick the pub, as I know nothing of Brighton.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

I will be at an AFC Wimblydon game...

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to be going to the Hanbury Ballroom on Friday night:

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=532668&Y=103694&A=Y&Z=1

How close is this to the B&B? I need to look it up. (Also, come and see Kevin Bletchdum if you fancy.)

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Ah. Quite far from the Lobster (which is on Bedford Place). There *are* loads of B&Bs just off the seafront nearer the Hanbury end of town though - New Steine seems particularly full of them.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

They do Dark Star now? That's good... Hav e they got it since The Regency Tavern became 'The Evil Sheperd Neame Tavern' and stopped selling independent brews?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

Could be. I don't remember exatly when it was... the Regency was always a bit of a weird pub anyway.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

Can we use this thread as a generic Brighton ilxers meeting up thread too? I want to do pub quizzes and stuff!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

I'll warn you I'm awful at Pub Quizzes.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

Actually eould it be better to start a whole new thread for FAPs for local people. This thread has become a little convoluted.

Also, what time shall this FAP be occurin'? I've got a few things to do during the day, but If it starts early can I give you a ring to find out where you are?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:01 (twenty years ago)

I would like to FAP early evening, depending on whether I'm staying over Saturday night as well or not. (Depends on how expensive the hotel is.) If you email me (real address up there) your phone number, I'll text you when I know what's what.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:05 (twenty years ago)

We stayed at the travlodge in Brighton last w/e which was £55 per night. It's a nice walk to the beach, although it might be a bit further out that you'd hoped.

― Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:15 (twenty years ago)

Got yer email and replied, Chew!

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:26 (twenty years ago)

I'd be up for an early evening pint I think. Maybe it would be appropriate to go to the Battle of Trafalgar and all drink like sailors (arrggghh!)?

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:41 (twenty years ago)

Isn't that now an "evil" Zel pub?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:46 (twenty years ago)

brighton is for people too wussy to go to southend.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Saaathend isn't for people.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

I think you'll find it's Saaaaaaaafend!

― Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:08 (twenty years ago)

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Don't be sad G! *there,there*

― Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

Two nights booked! FAP on Saturday can go as late as it wants! In fact, we can take the party back to my hotel.

Also - anyone up for visiting the Brighton Pavillion on Saturday morning?

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:27 (twenty years ago)

sorry g-kit :-)

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

If you can get hold of a spare council tax bill from someone you can get in to The Pavillion at a much reduced price.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

Can you lend me one? ;-)

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Unfortunately, as my girlfriend is a student I'm the only bloke on our Council Tax bill.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I'm a bloke and I'm the only name on the council tax bill.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Sigh, and you have quite a male name, it's too bad you're not a Chris or a Pat or something.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

I'll come on Saturday - Chewshabadoo, I'll see you tonight I hope.

― angle of d... (tingo), Friday, 21 October 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

Thank you for your hospitality, Brighton ILX0rs!

How wonderful to see you again, Archel, Matt and Angle - and equally lovely to meet Chew, the lovely Missus Chew and Nick B!

Plus, well... MORRIS DANCE-OFF ON THE SEA-FRONT!!!

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Monday, 24 October 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

It was great to see you too, Kate! Come again soon!

Plus... well... er... topless woman rubbing a big lump of offal all over her breasts...

― angle of d... (tingo), Monday, 24 October 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Oh no, I forgot to report back! Lovely to see everyone of course. Think I've had more than my quota of dodgy Irish music for the year though.

Meanwhile, Prescott has finally spoken...

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 28 October 2005 08:39 (twenty years ago)

But could we ever have enough of that banter?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Ah, the banter. They were probably just about the only people who could hear themselves talking.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 28 October 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

So, off to London-on-sea tomorrow for a day of shopping and pubs and the pier and wotnot for the first time in ages. Tell me where to go, Brightoners!

All museums, galleries, record shops, second-hand clothing emporia etc much appreciated.

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Whenever I visit my friends in Brighton the main theme of the weekend ends up being truckloads of drugs. Seriously, the whole city's blooty on a quack candle.

― chap, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Crumbs! Not exactly what I had in mind, but hey, when in Rome...

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

who actually lives in brighton? archel, right? anyone else? feel free to chip in :-)

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

there are relatively few of us...

what sort of thing you looking for charlie?

― secondhandnews, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

kelv - not a very helpful answer. ;-)

I am Brighton. The answer to your inquiry is The Lanes. wander. There are more second hand clothes emporia per square mile than fucking anywhere. "To be worn again" is recommended though for its bigness and has PennyLane upstairs for guitars and the like.

Backbeat records is good for old stuff. Resident records (kensington gardenns) is not as poncey as it seems from the outside and the staff are as wanky as you need them to be. Rounder Records (brighton square) is not as good as it thinks it is. The dance/urban more vinyl-based record shops are all over the palce and all pretty much as good as each other, which is to say, quite good. although not that i would really know.

Pubs... phew. i've become quite fond of the Prince Albert recently. have been going there on and off for years but only recently have i been a regular frequenter since a pal's been putting on gigs. it's on trafalgar street just under the station entrance. big mural of john peel on the wall.

anything else you'd like to know?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah. if you're clubbing - although i have no idea what you're into - I went to ModForIt on Saturdaya few weeks ago at Pavilion Tavern and that wa sa reet laff. The arc is alright for indie if you can handle it. dance nights are better but a bit spotty and there's nothing regualr so check local listings guides for details.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 23 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

ah, thankyou! perfect answers.

― CharlieNo4, Saturday, 24 March 2007 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

i will be visitin brighton this summer, to play burgess hill in a game of what you chap call base-ball

NY Times discovers a place called Brighton exists

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 September 2008 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

But with cosmopolitan London just an hour away

This is London, England, and Brighton, England, right? An hour? Just park my rocket sled on the beach...

― snoball, Friday, 26 September 2008 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

Victoria to Brighton is about an hour on the train, I have to get it every Monday for work.

Bit hail-marying here, but can anyone recommend a good place to eat, with a five year old, near to the beach?

― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 30 May 2025 12:58 (one year ago)

I always like to go to the Regency, it's next to the beach and they have good seafood and also just chips or sth if your kid is fussy.

― also like Tayler swift as she can relate to my cat (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 30 May 2025 13:06 (one year ago)

Thanks! We stumbled to the wrong place at first - the Regency Pub, a few blocks north - disaster with a hot, hangry kid (and parents). Then, like a gorgeous mirage, the actual proper Regency loomed into view, and had a free table with a window seat facing the sea, and we all had a seriously lovely time. So thanks again!

― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 30 May 2025 20:20 (one year ago)

Any of you Brighton Ilx0rs planning on Colour Out of Space? Am mulling over a trip down for it in April.

― emil.y, Wednesday, 28 January 2026 22:37 (five months ago)

oh shit, i didn't even know it was happening again. cool! a tentative yes from me!

― Reggaeton Sax (NickB), Wednesday, 28 January 2026 22:48 (five months ago)

Maybe. Looking for work at the moment so depends on getting a job. Would be cool to hang out whatever though.

― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 29 January 2026 22:28 (five months ago)

Just seen that you've got a Chinabot showcase happening at the Rose Hill tonight and I am so fucking jealous.

― emil.y, Thursday, 21 May 2026 16:59 (one month ago)
