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?

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

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?

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

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.

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

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!"

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.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
