rah rah rah, jealous, heard that the pizza was F-A-B!!


hope everyone had a great time, looked like it was really busy in the Actress tonight (tu)

You can't argue with free booze. Very generous.


Think I spotted the Holy MacGabhann in there - resplendent in black - but he was surrounded by his entourage so alas we were not permitted to touch the hem of his garments.


Thanks to The Actress for laying on the entertainment too. The absolutely bladdered well-known local trader kept us in stitches for much of the last hour.

navy blue, with a white-shirt, ashleeeeee *Bob* ;-)


Now TODAY I'm in black


Despite all Scott?s worries about deadlines it all came together rather well last night ? great to see that place busy and as *Bob* says free booze and food is a winner all round.


I?m liking relocation of the toilets, allowing a cosier space in the corner ? one of the (many) problems with the Uplands was the general lack of ambience.

Bog relocation a winner. There's something slightly more satisfying about having to go down a flight of stairs to take a leak - don't know why.


The place is styled in an interesting fashion, it seemed slightly nautical - but not in a bad way. Had a good feel to it, though drinks on the house and full to capacity helped in that respect. Weird high backless bench bunk bum-perch seats in window are a bit duff.


I saw Brooklyn Lager in the chiller which I'm quite partial to - and a smattering of other tempting bottles.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
