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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Got yer email and replied, Chew!

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

brighton is for people too wussy to go to southend.

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

Saaathend isn't for people.

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

I think you'll find it's Saaaaaaaafend!

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

sorry g-kit :-)

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Can you lend me one? ;-)

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

But could we ever have enough of that banter?

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

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

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

there are relatively few of us...

what sort of thing you looking for charlie?

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

ah, thankyou! perfect answers.

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

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 (fifteen years ago) link

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 (fifteen years ago) link

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

― Local Garda, Monday, 15 December 2008 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Bill's does the best, most healthy looking scrambled eggs. And French toast only bettered in the US. And their fish finger sandwiches are like WOAH. I'm hungry now. For Bill's.

Where was the Indian?
