― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

oh wait, indie chicks? go on then

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

rob how is that pub scary?? there's hardly ever anyone inside!! (yup starry the closest one to H+I!)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I resent being objectified!!

(NB I will be there but I haf no emo specs and don't look indie at all, more just a big lump of spod in a potato sack and wellies or something).

― indie chick, Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

glastonbury chic!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth-- you should come over and we can streak your hair before it starts!

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

That pub is only scary on Arsenal matchdays, when it is packed with lairy pissed up gooners.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw, all this talk of pulling really makes me wanna go, but I'm out in London on Saturday and on Friday I have to meet with old friends in Hitchin :-(

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

that sounds like it might be ~~dangerous~~fun

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i've seen police breaking up fights outside the white swan SEVERAL times and there are usually loads of dodgy geezers with tattoos hanging about and generally not a friendly looking atmosphere. mostly drunken louts, etc. and too much lighting in there - it looks like a cafeteria! i would honestly give that place a wide berth...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i take it this is how does it feel at the buffalo?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(and not necessarily on match days)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

yes steve

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

that sounds like it might be dangerousfun

which part? lairy gooners or streaking your hair?

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I have been in that pub. It is rubbish, but not especially scary.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i was talking hair!

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not going near that other thread with a ten foot pole mate...

i'm not sure what i'm doing on friday yet, possibly lying on the couch watching 'lympics because i am an old giffer...

(i'm still confused what pub you are talking about, the c0ck?)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Wetherspoons on Upper Street, innit?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw, all this talk of pulling really makes me wanna go, but I'm out in London on Saturday and on Friday I have to meet with old friends in Hitchin :-(

pull them!!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not intending to pull by the way!!! Sheesh!

DL you should come along. Sod this "Hitchin" rub for a game of mugs.

Carsmile: indie needs you!!

― satellite of rub, Thursday, 19 August 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

the swimmer

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Gareth I kiss you.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:00 (twenty-one years ago)

that weatherspoons is one of the most horrible pubs in the world, but I too will go to HDIF if they play Terry Durham.

and the swimmer you say............

― Porkpie (porkpie), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to drink in The Swimmer all the time up until recently - did any of you freeks drink in there before?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, plenty times, over maybe the last year (since i lived round the corner)

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth, the only problem is that i'm planning on being at the hayward from probably 7-10 or so. are you working tomorrow? could do it in the afternoon if you're not. or saturday afternoon if you're coming out to the walthamstow dog bbq.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

"dog bbq"??

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I was the guy putting "Shades of Hudson" by U Roy on the jukebox all the time and trying to play 15 Harry Nilsson tracks in a row

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeh - I'm working in sodding Letchworth Wine Rack till 10pm anyway so there's not even a chance now. But if anyone's up for joining me and fellow Ilxor Gregory Henry on Saturday for an illegal dance/rave type shindig is most welcome.

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:14 (twenty-one years ago)

working friday
not sure about this dog bbq thing
more details re: saturday night rave thingy please
you didnt come to bangface last week!

― david acid (gareth), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah the white swan was what i was talking about steve... if not there at least choose a pub that's cheap and within walking distance from the club!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm going to go there for at least one bottle of newcastle ale no matter what.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth and anyone else - no details yet. might be going to Messy but no concrete plans till the day (as is the wont of these things). Email me your phone number and I can text you details.

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

what's the matter with the c0ck? or were you thinking about a half 5 start?

swimmer and then down the holloway road seems the most agreeable...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

stopping for Turkish stuff from that shop on the corner you say?

― Porkpie (porkpie), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

hell we could all meet at my place since i'm so close... i like guests!

mark c - see here for the dog-BBQ (not what you think, i imagine):
we're going to the dogs

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

NYC version:

tomorrow night, I'll be at both the SB/Excepter show at Tonic and the Mighty Robot birthday party. Dudes/chicks should go!

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll come swimming if nothing else

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I shall be up for this. UP = in the mood for attending dirty menks.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

and we all know how boyler likes an indie disco, don't we kids? ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, sit down...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 19 August 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I don't know about you but I for one am relieved to hear that Boyler has been to some far out places

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh. Go on then.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

So what's our plan... Swimmer at 8ish and then a wander down the Holloway Road...?

― i have made some REQUESTS, Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd be up for some of that. Mmm, Litovel.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll line 'em up boys, and you knock 'em out of the park ;)

8ish? 6ish, i'd say...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

guess so! since all you guys love that pub so much!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 19 August 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

What email? Hold on I'll check.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 20 August 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't remember you being an arse and I don't remember ever getting an email. Ah! sweet mystery of life.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 20 August 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I am back at home now, should be in the pub by eightish.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 20 August 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

It's my fault, I'm very cavalier about deleting emails from addresses I don't recognise so apologies. I've got to go now.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 20 August 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i might well come out to the pub, provided my flatmate comes back for dinner fairly soon. see you all in a bit, hopefully...

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 20 August 2004 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

fucking hell my head hurts

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 21 August 2004 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

So did anyone pull?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 21 August 2004 08:14 (twenty-one years ago)

yes

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Saturday, 21 August 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

wow who pulled??? i missed all the action!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 21 August 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

so to speak!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 21 August 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

explain yourself

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Saturday, 21 August 2004 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

oh! i thought you knew something i didn't! when you said "yes" like as in you knew who pulled! i went home early due to drunkenity and if there was any action i'd miss it!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 21 August 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Your pulling doesn't count, Steve! (Well, unless you pulled someone different on the way home, which would be impolite, to say the least.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 21 August 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't fancy any of the indie girls I saw. Frankly, I feel cheated.

Good night nonetheless, there was much dancing and frivolity and it was nice to see Kate enjoying herself. Rah - we rule at Pixies dancing!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 21 August 2004 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I'd been there. But hey. I was in Oxford awaiting missing luggage.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I really wish I'd gone back home on saturday morning instead. Thanks to a lightning strike at Huntingdon it took 5 hours for the train to get from King's Cross to York.

Still, the weekend wasn't entirely wasted: while sorting through boxes of my parents' books I happened on one called 'God's Gift To All Women'. Name of books hero, and I assume god's gift himself: 'Johnny Skidmore'.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 22 August 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

!!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 23 August 2004 07:09 (twenty-one years ago)

The evening was fabulous. Much dancing. Much lusting over dirty dronerock boys. (but no action, fortunately.)

But oh, my body is still hating me for it several days later. I didn't have a hangover in the usual sense, but all my joints feels like they are made out of some kind of creaky decaying rubber. Argh.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 07:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I am STILL astonished at how much fun I had. Though Ian desperately needs to work on his photography composition. Starry, are these(http://www.howdoesitfeel.f9.co.uk/aug20rasosbf.jpg) your arms and fringe?

― marianna lcl, Monday, 23 August 2004 08:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Miss M, your outfit looks amazing - naughty Austrian schoolgirl? I wish we'd been in town this weekend :(

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

you guys should be in london every weekend obv.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:06 (twenty-one years ago)

aha, s1mon pr1ce was there. I met him at the B&S gig at Somerset House. Scary fake spiky hair!

Does Ian have a shoe fetish?

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:09 (twenty-one years ago)

That wasn't S1mon Pr1ce. Was it? You are joking, right? I hope.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian's photos are sometimes great, sometimes rubbish. Quality control?

Ken, we soon will be!

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

ian has an ASS fetish i think!

liz!!! tell more!!!!!!!!!!1

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That's totally Simon Price!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

ken you'll have to post one of your MANY self-portraits taken during the evening... and i saw some girl chatting you up by the dancefloor - you should have pulled!

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

kate was totally the dancing queen, it was fantastic! although we nearly had to armwrestle over a gay boy with a lovely nose and not much of an ass that was quite cute. was he a DDR, kate?

i'll have to get one of my friends to post the highly amusing story from the end of the night.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

haha i only had one in the end!!! i must have BALEETED all the other ones cos they were shameless! i looked drunken and leary even in this surviving one hahaha!

will post pics tonite. there's one of your chin!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

ps, it was nice to meet and talk to dadaismus. although he looked a little confused when my friend and i started blowing kisses at each other.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Gay? He wasn't gay! He left with an indie chick, and his boyfriend spent the rest of the night dancing!

But Ken... what about the pics of us looking deliberately EEEEVIL!!! in the pub? Please tell me you didn't delete those...

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

omg i hope not!!!!!! I have to check!! was it taken with my camera or someone else's?? omg!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

(I would also like to apologise for everyone's drinks that I pirated. Dancing is thirsty work. I am so sorry.)

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh I think that was me, yes!! Ugh, I so need to sort out my fringe! Glad to avoid cameras, marv. I second the love of Marianna's outfit by the way! Ah - one day I will not dress like a sack of spuds, ONE DAY!! :)

― Starry (hello chickens), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:29 (twenty-one years ago)

you didn't manage to avoid EVERY camera sarah :)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, i just believed you when you told me he was gay! i otherwise would have assumed that it was just my 'american gaydar abroad' problem again.

didn't really want to talk to him, and can't imagine much of a relationship based on me saying 'um, can you just shut up so i can stare at your hypnotic ass?'

although that could be quite interesting, really.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I haf no idea whot you cd mean.

― Starry (hello chickens), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a picture of you!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Did I say he was gay? How drunk was I? I'm confused.

I was disappointed with the DDB turnout at the actual nightclub, but I suppose it's just as well. How cute were the DDBs at the Swimmer, though? Maybe I should move.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

flipping the fingers at the camera no less!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

that DDB chatting up two girls at the swimmer was actually quite cute

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure you deserved it. I remember now, the picture seemed alright at the time but I'm sure no doubt BLURRY DRUNKEN VISION played a part in all of that.

― Starry (hello chickens), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

kate, you were shouting at me that he was gay and the other guy was his boyfriend, and that you saw him first and he was yours. considering that i was standing next to him, i think he may have cought on to the game...

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken, I really *hope* that you didn't delete the OOH SCARY photo.

Ach, I had forgotten about Swedish Girl and Council Girl, though. See how the memory glosses over these things? Oh, and the DDBs earlier, except they ended up getting entranced by some bad, baaaaad band on TOTP (Who were they? Kasabian? Good lord, I didn't even need to hear them to know that I hate them.) and then I totally lost all respect for them.

Oh yes, BTW, props to Dadaismus for turning up, that was very brave. I'm always astonished when people not only recognise us all sitting in a gang, but don't turn around and run in the opposite direction! Tee hee!

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I can understand someone looking Swedish. But how on earth can you look Council? or do you mean as in "estate"?

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

That's the accepted meaning, cf the Cheez Strings advert and possibly Michelle from BB5. It's a bit rub though, but it's got legs...

― my full sodding name (hello chickens), Monday, 23 August 2004 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I thought you might have meant "Style Council," i.e. licking each other's ears in straw boaters and blazers as per video for "Long Hot Summer."

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 23 August 2004 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Miss M, your outfit looks amazing - naughty Austrian schoolgirl?

Aww, thanks. I was totally going to retire that outfit, but now I'm thinking otherwise.

Kate, you're officially my new favourite dancer EVER.

― marianna lcl, Monday, 23 August 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

That'll be my brother, I expect - he's named J0n@th@n.
