mmmmmmm

[CrystalClear]

it looks nice and quiet in here - think I'll take a nap.

[Keef]

OI WAKE UP!!!!!

Pint? :)-D

[CrystalClear]

yeah. Alright.

[mockney piers]

Mine's a zoider. Hmm, nice retro furniture, looks like a sixth form common room in here, how unusual.

[CrystalClear]

Sounds like we should be having a welcome to the lounge party. Can we have some food, I'm quite peckish. No trance niver.

[Keef]

Can we put posters up and get a pool table? :))

[mockney piers]

Beginning to sound like the best bar on virtual Lordship Lane already. Quirky Scandianvian Pop please, and a dartboard.

[Michael Palaeologus]

You can put posters up, but not with blue-tak - it leaves greay stains. A pool table would be good.

Is this a no smoking Lounge?

Can we have a gorgeous bar-maid for the boys and a hunky bar-man for the girls (or whatever your proclivity may be)?

[Keef]

I insist on a smoking section!!!

[CrystalClear]

Yeah, I think we should have a somking section, though it's a lovely day, so happy to smoke on the veranda, or even out by the pool today :)

[Keef]

By the pool is fine with me! But in the colder weather we'll be indoors breathing smoke in everyone's face! (6)

[Kathryn]

Id like to sit in the pool with a drink

[CrystalClear]

Why the evil face keef, not sure we should be doing that. Come June we'll just have to smoke outside, or in the den.

Kathryn - pool side bar maybe.

[Kathryn]

Rather than on the table although I wouldnt rule it out how late does this place stay open

[mockney piers]

It shuts?

[CrystalClear]

nah.

[Mark]

Hi everyone, hey I like what you've done to it so far, nice use of velvet Mockney. And who put that Athena poster up of the tennis girl scratching her bum? I bet that was Crystal.

[CrystalClear]

yeah :))

May try and re-create it on tonights photo shoot. Piers, are you wearing your whites this evening? Right, off to build a bbq for us.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Can we paint a mural on the wall? Perhaps the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon album - for the 70s feel.

[dulwichmum]

Can we get a real espresso machine in here that makes good Italian coffee? I would like to get an interior designer in and make it look like the set of Hotel Babylon, great swathes of luxurious fabrics hanging on white walls, Mr CrystalClear, Mr Mockney Piers and Mr Huguenot lounging about in their smoking jackets! Perhaps we could put a small bowl of water on the carpet in case Mr Batdog needs a drink?

[mockney piers]

Nice touch Mike, I had a huge one of those at uni.

DM, perhaps you can mock one up in ermine and mink?

just going to pop Blinder's copy of neutral Milk Hotel on the turntable if that's ok with everyone, I'll be careful.

Anyone good with egg whites, quite fancy a pisco sour?

[clare]

Would we argue over music though ?

I must admit I have never heard of most of everyone's favourite listens.....

Please ease off the difficult jazz....

[Quaywe]

I bet it will be easy to get a late license for this Lounge. Maybe we could have a lock in!

[Keef]

Can I have a sound proof booth to practice my guitar in?

Crystal I like the Den idea, lets have bean bags, darts, pool, and 70's pinball machines!!! In fact, lets move Tasha's garden over from Sydney!!! Could you post the photo of "Rancho Relaxo" from my flickr site... I can't access it from here, as for some reason work have decided that flickr is a match making site?!?!?!?!? :'(

[mockney piers]

Here you go Keef. Is that Kathryn helping herself to a pi?acolada there?

I think time for a dash of club tropicana on the stereo as I ease into my tennis skirt :-S
