new bar application - Boho Bar, 52 Lordship Lane (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

Can't say I agree there, Sue but I won't argue the point 'cos of course I want to save it up for my late in life pop group.


A great name for this or any other bar, would of course be Mott The Hoople. Note the clever absence of the definite article at the beginning of the title. Subtle.

It lends itself so easily to the kind of casual phrases that become part of our everyday lingo.

"I'm off down the Mott love, there's a rugby contest between this country and another, and if I don't have some sort of opinion at work on Monday the other girls will rib me mercilessly"

"Christ, where have you put my darts? You know full well The Hoople have me on as a ringer against those bastards from The Edgar Broughton"

"YES, I suppose I DO spend a lot of time in the 'Hoop', but at least I get LISTENED to there!!"

"Four o' clock, you say? Are you sure? Neighbours on both sides, and opposite complaining about the lubricated version of 'All The Young Dudes', and the repeated assertions that David Bowie should nave been bloody well honoured that a group so fine should have picked up on and improved his little ditty? Well love it's not Ian Hunter's birthday every day, you know"


You see, it could just so easily become part of the whole ED way of life.

'Eclipse' is a terrible name. It sounds like the sort of place Estate Agents drink in en masse after work (or used to). Or the fictional club in 'Eastenders' with a red braided rope on the door and porthole shaped windows in the doors.


I vote for something with a creative use of a 'z'. 'Starz', perhaps? Or maybe 'City Slickerz'? Or 'Shinglesz'?

    • Help! I plugged an external hard drive into my laptop  to see what was on it, and now I can't eject it because it has started doing something.  I'm getting a message that it's currently in use, close any programs or windows that might be using it, and try (to eject it) again. But I've closed everything down that I can see. It's got an enormous amount of stuff on it, documents photos and music,  which I don't want to lose.  Could it be synching to OneDrive? What shall I do? Just wait till it's finished whatever it's doing? Surely whatever it's doing shouldn't have started automatically? I hate my laptop with a vengeance 🤬 It has caused me nothing but trouble since I got it. I also hate Windows 11. Rant over.
