Lazerdrome was just before the start of the one way system at the bottom of Rye Lane, there is a now a New Build called Cooperative House (the old building also had this name actually). There was a pub on the corner, but I can't remember the name. The onlt Kings I can think of was "Kings on the Rye" which was on the cross roads, and used to be a very very dodgy club, and there would be 20-30 BMWs parked up on the grass across the road every Friday and Saturday night. Classy joint!

OH MY GOD, LAZERDROME! Forgot that one. I used to be there every Saturday when I was 17 in my Jungelis days!! Keef, if you remember seeing a group of girls in hot pants, belly tops and Chipie trainers - that was me and my posse!

Indeed I did young Tillie, the Royal Oak no longer exists it has long since been pulled down to make way for offices.

Our eyes may have met across the room but only if you were a teenager in the 70's, as I was.

I used to go to Level 3.. about the only place in Swindon that played some decent music. Not saying much of course...


I've never been much of a clubber... seems to have bypassed having a misspent youth and I doubt I'd have the stamina to be doing it every weekend now!

SORTED FOR E'S AND WIZZ - PULP


Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?

Or just 20,000 people standing in a field.

And I don't quite understand just what this feeling is.

But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.

And tell me when the spaceship lands cos all this has just got to mean something.


In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.


Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down.

Got the tickets from some f*cked up bloke in Camden Town.

Oh and no-one seems to know exactly where it is.

But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.

At 4 o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away.

Alright.


In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.


Just keep on moving...

Everybody asks your name,

they say we're all the same and it's "nice one,"

"geezer"

but that's as far as the conversation went.

I lost my friends, I dance alone,

it's six o'clock, I wanna go home.

But it's "no way," "not today,"

makes you wonder what it meant.

And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows,

and you want to phone your mother and say,

"Mother, I can never come home again,

cos I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere,

somewhere in a field in Hampshire."

Alright.


In the middle of the night,

it feels alright,

but then tommorow morning.

Oh then you come down.


What if you never come down?

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
