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

[okcomputa]

Ok, I'm not really the creative sort, so I maybe I shouldn't be so quick to cuss it.

That said, the name really does make me shudder - rather than warm me to it, it inclines me not to visit. Ever.

BoHo is a rotten name.

I'd call The Heart Drops after the name The Clash were considering for a while.

[HonaloochieB]

Actually no, scrub that, if I ever suddenly discover some musical talent at this late stage, I'm going to call my group The Heart Drops, so forget I ever mentioned it.

Put it in the vault, OK.

[Sue]

The Heart Drops is a truly terrible name :))

[HonaloochieB]

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.

But it morphs wonderfully into:

Adopt Thresher

A Depth Shorter

Heard The Sport

Post Her Thread

The Hop Traders

Eclipse is a good name.

[HonaloochieB]

No let's stick with Boho. And speculate on what the decor, music etc will be like.

I reckon signs on the door will have to include, 'SQUARE? BEWARE' and 'NO SHADES NO BERET NO SERVICE'

[SimonM]

if it gets full of lacrimose drunks then why not "BooHoo"??:)

[*Bob*]

'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'?

[Jah Lush]

Bollocks! *Bob* those names are even worse and you know it too don't you. Boho Bar is fine with me but whether it's a drinking den worth drinking in we'll have to wait and see.

[*Bob*]

You're on to something there, Jah.

'Bollockz'.

I like it.

[Jeremy]

I think we should take a leaf out of Sydenham's book.

"Oozing class & sophistication, its retro/ glamourous interiors, large dance floor areas, VIP areas..."

[HonaloochieB]

I think *Bob8's on to something here, how about Zed's?

Now that does sound like a load of bollockz. Think I'll stick to the pub. Bollockz to it.

[Huguenot]

Zedz

[Keef]

Zedz dead baby, zedz dead!

[James]

Spelling glamorous incorrectly isn't exactly... glamorous.

[HonaloochieB]

That's glamorouz, James.

[Moos]

And James, have you ever considered Jamez? I think that's the height of glamour.

Mooz

[Keef]

Mockney Pierz is rather street wouldn't you say?
