  1. Is there a "when did you stop beating your wife" question for bots? One that sort of frazzles their circuits?
  2. That was granted back in 2011. I saw it open once. With nice shiny paint and new trees in pots outside. Looked unfriendly, mind you. Have never seen it open, day or night, since. Plants have died. Nothing to see. Bar Story it is then...
  3. Ted Max on vocals. *Bob* on triangle (and keyboards) ???? as the roadie I'd love to join but I'm shopping for jeans.
  4. You're right.....it will be Lounged.

  7. Buntings Butchers nr Old Kent Rd in Peckham are nearby, good quality and cheaper than W Rose.
  8. People - you're way off the mark. http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-04-07/JjClJhBlFdAyEEueIgiAotfAhpCmGDwnCpElAzfveJwmbcldwIrwrICstrgA/patrickBateman-1-1.jpg.scaled500.jpg

I'm thinking UDT reckons Pseu-Pseu-Pseudio is some of their finest work but really likes Heuy Lewis and the News. His business cards are also excellent.
  10. Although the downside to that methodology is that it fails to accurately measure one year against another and your results are skewed by what others do around you rather than your own performance.

London is often cited as a brilliant example of how different social strata live alongside each other and, generally, get along. The dangers of "ghetto-isation" where, essentially, the inner city becomes for the rich only whilst the poor are restricted to a sort of donut-ring outer can be seen clearly across the Channel where Paris has this exact model. It causes social unrest and an "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" tendency. Whilst the need for affordable housing is important I'm not sure it should be at the expense of social cohesion.
  12. No, no Bic. He is an expert in whatever he turns his hand to. He concentrates on one thing until he is a master of it and then moves on to a new interest. Gardening is on the agenda but at the moment he just doesn't have the time in his busy schedule as you can see from above. It's a tough life.
  13. That post is beyond parody. The monster is eating itself.
  14. Telegraph at Earl of Derby - one of my favourite pubs. Great food, interesting and well kept beer and friendly staff. Oh, and a free jukebox. Splendid place. Just a shame you can't now walk on to the Montague Arms (RIP).
  15. This chap is lsited as a Director. Try contacting him directly. http://storm.olan.org/
  16. A babbiesyed ? leave t?elmet on?
  17. I understand the smell of chip fat is all-pervasive on men in Lancashire.
  18. How did you tell him apart from all the other men in Wigan?

Errr.....rugby at Hoopers up the road. Much nicer pub. Rugby fanatic of a landlord. Great beer. You're missing out.
  20. Talking of which.... Olympic typography throught the ages: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-08/03/olympic-typography
  21. Oh good grief. Lighten up man. There was no offence intended and the fella has explained himself.
  22. Wow - free of tie. You lucky things. That means you could actually turn a profit. Micro-brewery beers would be amazing. Only the Draft House serves genuinely interesting beer locally so if you go down that path it might well draw in the punters. I'm sure you know plenty so won't recommend any. And I guess that means you're free to do what you want with food too. Fingers crossed. SJ's suggestion of some partitioning is spot on. Too many pubs become souless aircraft hangers if they aren't full because of huge open spaces. In Winter it also means heating is easier and cheaper. An old-school saloon/lounge divide would be great. Very pleased to hear all your news. Best of luck.
  23. Will the food be home-made or are you buying in from a Brakes Bros style company and just reheating on site? There are great local suppliers of good quality meat, fish, bread, etc. Which brewery are you tied to? How much freedom are they giving you with beers? There are some great London and SE England micro-brewers who do great stuff. The Pilgrim Brewery in Reigate for example. Best of luck with the pub. It's my second nearest and I never go there. I'll certainly give you a chance to turn it around.
  24. Sending out KP to open sends a clear message. Should be with Prior though. Sling the bat at everything that moves. Go team#gb! Sorry - wrong sport.
  25. And the Louvre is a perfect example where it doesn't. Or that V&A extension from a few years back. Eileen - could you upload the plans so we could discuss with referring to them in the abstract please? Thanks.
