Actress opening party

[DJKillaQueen]

Did anyone try the draught ciders? Looking forward to going there soon with my (footy) gals.....

[BornAgainSELondoner]

Scott, great night on Thursday. Thanks. Can't wait to come back next week.

I couldn't help but notice your projector screen concealed in the ceiling. Is it fair to assume you're going to be showing football? Might you be showing the Spurs-Arsenal match this Tuesday?

[scott]

We have Sky Sports and will be showing all of the big hitting games/events

[Narnia]

Do you ESPN Scott? Was just thinking of the Bolton v Man U game coming up on Saturday.

[Sue]

Just want to add my belated thanks, I posted on the other Uplands thread by mistake, forgot about this one :)

The pizza was great and I was delighted to find a lager I hadn't tried before which actually tasted of something - now will be in this week to try the Broadside (thanks so much for having Broadside, Scott!!)

Also delighted to discover a fellow melodeon player wannabe who lives in my road :))

:)-D

Oh arse, it was looking so promising up until then.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes - that does take the gilt of the gingerbread somewhat.

You dont have to follow the herd you know....

I knew you would see an opportunity scott. The Prince Albert is not for everyone. :)

Can we keep the screen for rugby and golf please.

There's a thought - are you showing the Ryder Cup by any chance?

[*Bob*]

When the golf isn't being shown, can I request something a little more uptempo?

Some 'live' dry stone-walling perhaps? Or video footage of an old man yawning - slowed down 1000 times?

[DJKillaQueen]

Maybe some porn would go down well too :))

These are already available, but it would be wise to check with the Warhol eatate that there's no infringement of copyright.

[*Bob*]

I like the porn idea, but it might be a tad progressive.

But it could be a televised spectator sport which doesn't consist mostly of footage umbrellas seen from above, grass, conversations you can't hear and silly trousers - accompanied by the sound of light wind broken by occasional half-hearted clapping.

[Huguenot]

That writes off Kabaddi then.

Actually *Bob*

I've just purchased an "eco" paint that takes 48 hrs to dry between coats

The job it's going onto will take 4 coats, so I'm going to film it & ask Scott to show it

( just to wet your appetite it's in French Grey number 8 )

Fancy a preview copy ?

W**F

Well with tiger playing a porn star or two might cannot be far away.

[katie1997]

the minute I see those garish adverts for sports outside a pub, it puts me off ...

I mean, couldn't they show footage of the Golden Era of Steam Locomotives on this big screen, some GWR xcvbf class 4-0-9s in their heyday ;)

* gets anorak *

[Mick Mac]

I think you are all being terribly unfair on golf. It really is very very exciting. And you should see the girls play it.

[katie1997]

I walked past the Actress not that long ago, its absolutely packed with people.

They don't look like golfers to me Mick Mac.

[SimonM]

Anyone else catch the Guardian's "Notes & Queries" section today? :))♠

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Wash your mouth out!

[BornAgainSELondoner]

Really enjoyed the atmosphere at the Actress last night. I ususally don't like to watch football without sound but I thought it worked well. And hopefully it will discourage the kind of 'fans' who sit there shouting and swearing at the screen, ruining it for those of us who appreciate that it is in fact just a game, and really not worth getting that worked up about. Last week, for example, at another pub in ED, I had the pleasure of sitting next to a man, who at one point shouted out (without pausing for breath) "What you f*cking doing, Lennon? Yes, go on, Lennon! Oh f*ck off, Lennon!"

[Narnia]

Probably Jah!

[TillieTrotter]

Mr Lush is a veritable gentleman I'll have you know.

[Jah Lush]

Arf! Not me. Could have been though but I wouldn't have said "Oh f*ck off Lennon." Was it in the CPT or Hoopers? I was probably at the match but what's wrong with a bit of passion when you're watching a match? Jeez!

By the way what's the point having the football on if you've got no sound. Beats me.
