Tivoli Amusements

[macroban]

"[...] closed with immediate effect."

[Mark]

Did they get their planning permission for a wine bar?

[macroban]

A rough typed notice fixed on with sellotape looks "unplanned".

[karter]

The face of LL is changing once again it seems, the Tulip gone, Tivoli gone and tex mex gone a shiny new LL will reappear soon.

[demery]

word on the street is that the east dulwich veggie collective are banding together to form a not for profit tofu burger bar and will take over the lease.

rather than gambling your dough on the slotties, it'll now be 50/50 as to whether you come out feeling full or not ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Please tell me no-one mourns the passing of this place - or places like it in ED or anywhere else?

In my younger days I was a fruitie addict but even then it had to be in seaside town arcades where... oooh other people.... were milling about

[Asset]

yeah but you know what? I have watched two establishments (Fads and another) on Wally Road close over the last couple of months to be replaced with.......a BETFRED and some arcade game place. Not that LL is in that league yet, but soon come.

[Michael Palaeologus]

What the fuck am I supposed to do with all these 50p pieces now?

[Asset]

get yerself down to Wally Rd

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Give them to me Michael, I am doing an art installation piece.

[Sue]

:))

[fractionater]

Will the "Irish shop" be next?

[Sue]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's so part of LL :)

[SteveT]

Not the Irish shop, they do the best porridge and potato's to die for, and red lemonade.

[candj]

And the best white pudding, mikado biscuits and boland's fig rolls!!! and don't get me started on the Emerald sweets...

sorry off topic/

[SeanMacGabhann]

agreed candj

(although all but the Emeralds can also be bought at Val's Groceries up near the Plough - also sticking Kimberly Chocolate ELites which are just... gorgeous)

So Tivoli amusements - anybody want to stick up for this one?

[Brendan]

Stick up for them, hmm let?s see. Well they did have a picture of a girl in a bikini in the window.

Although I suppose me even noticing that is misogynistic and dams me to hell.

Although mentioning the term hell is, I?m sure, reference to an outdated chauvinistic belief structure built on the exploitation of women.

:-S

So no, I can?t stick up for them, they confuse me too much and expose antisocial sexist aspects in my personality.

I?m off to cut my willy off.

[Sue]

Well that certainly stopped all discussion on this thread :)):)):))

[Brendan]

Yeah I can?t figure out if it is the clearly highbrow and controversial issues raised (good at controversialising me) or the gratuitous use of the world willy.

Either way, fuck ?em. They can get their own.

[HonaloochieB]

Serves 'em right for not having pinball machines. Be a good location for a Wimpy bar.

[KalamityKel]

The original plans seemed erm... interesting... and quite boring too...

[macroban]

The premises, including the very large cellar, were being gutted today.

Does anyone have an update?

[Sue]

Expensive gift shop,Indian restaurant, bland clothes or shoe shop :))

[TJS]

[Cassius]

Wine bar here, cocktail bar there - goodness all we need now is a proper old man's pub - ooopps have we had that discussion before.....
