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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
