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

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)

Aw man, Freud's has the BEST Long Island Iced Teas on earth...

― Danger Whore (kate), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

just don't drink so much of it.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

or at least wear grippy shoes

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

a slip there can be extra embarassing.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

What? I've never injured myself coming out of Freuds - don't know why, tempting fate.

I'm just begrudging the fact that I have rehearsal that night, and can't go anywhere.

― Danger Whore (kate), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Spend strategically and you can achieve Freudian ruin for £10. Japanese Slippers £3.40. LICE Tea about £6.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Ruin in under two drinks?

Sorry, those LICE Teas are strong, but not that strong!

― Danger Whore (kate), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I seem to remember a 4pm drink there where one LICE Tea was enough for a fair whack of tiddliness. Or it may have been to do with a bassist.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Bassist? What bassist? One of my bassists, or that bassist that used to live around the corner?

(that's half the reason I like Freud - the other half is coz they have slate tables and let you draw on them in coloured chalk when it's not busy.)

― Danger Whore (kate), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i am intrigued by this freud's, i've never been there. barry - under five quid for cocktails doesn't sound expensive to me.

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

it is not a dinner party, it is dinner. ahem. i have emailed to enquire, i don't imagine we'd have to leave too early, hopefully.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Freud's the place that has a set of steps leading up to a mirror (and banged head)?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Yup. Excellent vodka Mojitos too.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

FREVD does surprisingly good, cheap food also!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I realise this is rather late, but:

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?

???

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you turn up at any point during the ruinous and very noisy proceedings in the early hours of Monday morning?

(Actually, what DID you do in between Saturday morning and the end of the festival because I don't think I saw you once at that time despite being in the same group of tents?)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Possibly even from Friday morning onward...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i remember one night when i was visiting the ilx camp, and a group of guys all dressed the same (and i vaguely think it was overalls, or bright flourescent raincoats or something?) and i thought it was just random people passing through and talking to strangers, and then once you'd left, someone said it was you.

can anyone fill in the gaps in my memory, here?

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

Derry Irvine shurely? Shcotch anyone?

― What did you do in the war, Dadaismus? (Dada), Friday, 22 October 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

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.
