The Drum, home

[Quaywe]

Well after all of your postings lately of the Drum providing countless hours of entertainment for those deemed to be "close" to the owners I've just experienced the Drum. Great night, great owners... and I met the lead singer of REPUBLICA. They sing the well known "baby I'm ready to go..." single. She was wearing a cool hat too.

I love the Drum! :))

Ooh quaywe, you lucky b*****d. I had a major crush on Saffron in the mid nineties. Well, I quite fancied her anyway, glad to see she's all grown up and wearing cool hats, and glad to see the forum is supporting a genuine local business in such numbers; 3 nights in a row we've been represented.

nice bar run by nice people

I didn't make it to the Drum the other night, but I'm out again tonight with the Mrs and shall suggest we give it a go.

I've edited the above posts slightly, I hope you understand why. If you want to go in and re-edit them then please feel free to do so

oops wrong thread

Much as I hate to be an idiot - but where is this oasis?

[Mark]

Northcross Road, perhaps one of our roving reporters could pop out and take a photo of it for you...

[mockney piers]

I sincerely doubt our roving reporter has got out of bed yet!!

[bumbalina]

He is out of bed, but has other commitments this morning (shocking! ::o). I'm sure if you are patient, he will wield his trusty camera this afternoon.

[Huguenot]

Lol

I had, indeed, other commitments (he says haughtily).

Next week's the last week of idleness so if you need something after that I don't what you'll do!

[capt_birdseye]

Your project for next week:

Try out all the offers for massages (snigger) as advertised in the window of the newsagent next to Acorn Estate Agents. Then report back to the forum as to which offers the best massage at the fairest price. Pictorial evidence will of course be required.

[Huguenot]

When I already have my very own Bumbalina? Never!

The Dave in all its glory...

How's that? Edited for inappropriate apostrophes.

[mockney piers]

Marvellous, of course if you geotagged them then my greasemonkey scripts would immediately throw up a little google map of the location, tsk tsk, poor show Huguenot. (i really need to get a life don't I)

[Huguenot]

What erm.. how do I do that or something? Is that actually on Flickr? I'll go and have a look....

.... right, I went onto Flickr and dragged them onto a map in I hope the right place. Is that sufficient?

[mockney piers]

perfect.

[Mark]

might pop down the Drum tonight if anyone's around...

[Ant]

Just back from a very enjoyable night at the Drum - note the time, wink wink nod nod etc. Dave proved to be a friendly man indeed.

I think I may have spotted Shambles getting off the bus, but it could just have been the booze.

Also, I may have persuaded the Mrs to log on to our fair forum.

Anyway, time to go and get some pre-hangover unconsciousnesss.

Drum is indeed a good place for foolish drinkery. last time there we demanded zambuca but unfortunately none was available. so the friendly bar staff went on a fools mission to budgens just to check if they stocked it. of course they didnt but it shows their marvellous customer service. and optimism with regard to budgens liquor stocks. with no zambuca shots available we simply drank white wine by the pint instead. mmm a sensible decision.

i imagine Ant may be feeling our pain right now

[Keef]

Next time send the staff to Cheers, they definitely stock it, as we've done several missions for another drinking establishment that shall remain anonymous ;-)

[Jeremy]

Where is Cheers?

[Keef]

It's the off license opposite St Thomas Moore Hall.

[Muttley]

....and Cheers is one of the friendliest shops on Lordship Lane.

[Keef]

Seconded!
