why Hitchin can be shit sometimes...

the pubs are shite though. still love the hart, never found a pub i feel so relaxed in, plus the smoking thing is cool, but then it is full of more youthful people than myself. me and the wife will be moving, pretty much a year from now, to somewhere more sunny so my SAD can't get to me. cannot wait. will miss the hart though.

NB: I wrote the first post for something else on the internets in reply to someone who was moaning about the amount of underagers in the hart (he was only 20!!), not for workshy but i thought i'd repost.

PS: Abacus you've made me feel even older now!! ;-)

3 Words.... Rithums ov the wurld!!!

cheers for the youthful enthusiasm abacus, sometimes its what this board needs. we're all old and grumpy!!!

i say i can't wait. i can wait for our house being demolished by all and sundry.

10. Windmill Hill
Yes it is graet and if it ever gets destroyed in a war or something, the daemons of Hitchin will be freed from their leylines and I will be very sad.

9. Your Mum
She's totally HOTT. I'll be round later for tea and something extra. (Can you tell I'm writing this list from front-to-back?)

8. The Pubs
The Hart is still an indie stronghold despite it's flaws. The Sun Runner sells interesting beverages and is great for weekday drinking. Club85 is totally bwadass for gigs. Even the Ivory and Shorty's have been known to be fun from time to time.

7. Netto
Why go to Sainsbury's when you can buy a month's worth of shopping plus a pet grooming kit for £21.34?

6. The Market
Yes it's a bit rub these days but you can get cheap lovely fruit and veg and 70's vinyl 6 for a quid.

5. CD Heaven
It's tiny, in fact far too small to satisfactorily feed the burgeoning music scene of a town full of indie kids. Still the staff are knowledgable and friendly and there's always some interesting stuff in stock, so until I start my mega-chain of spacious indie record stores, this'll do.

4. Proximity to London
even though it's impossible to get home after a night out so you better make a plan before you leave. Trains are a ripoff too but this is a happy list so YIPPEE YAY!

3. Rhythms of the World
It's the highlight of my calendar. Bob Mardon is a fricking chief for organising it all and best of all it's FREE!!!!

2. It's infinitely better than any other neighbouring towns.
Like the decreasing circle of vapid dodginess that is Letchworth town centre and the ever-depressing Stevenage.

1. The people
Yes, that means YOU people. The only reason I stay in this town (other than the fact I can't afford to move ;-)

P.S. Wogan I loved reading your use of rub'. rub' is my favorite abrev' at the mo' I fuckin' love it!!!! Tev'

Somebody draw a picture of what the dread lion pub will look like.

it must include

- Jamaican's selling pot on the door.
- Special Brew, Kronenbourg Cru and Leffe on tap sold at £1.50 a pint and no bloody Fosters in it.
- Toucher playing a gig inside.
- Dub and Techno in the garden plus there's a Ron's-sponsored BBQ in there as well.
- Lots of cool people including tedri populars and sexy selkys and no circulars or ickle kids.
