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'?

    • No photograph taken and no video evidence of anyone approaching or ringing my doorbell all morning. I have made a complaint to EVRI, but just in case anyone has taken in or found some James Wellbeloved Senior dry catfood on their doorstep ... I am at the South Circular/Horniman end of Underhill.
    • I may have missed it, but I don't think anyone has made that argument have they?  I don't know, but suspect they've figured the costs of cancelling at this late stage are greater than the costs of losing another legal challenge. I agree that if so, it's putting commercial considerations over legal process.
    • Honestly don't know what Lambeth are thinking - they should consider their reputation, loss of public trust, legal challenges and findings of maladministration. Perhaps they have and don't care. It stinks of commercial bias and contempt for the legal process and public.  
    • If the argument was 'all councils are bad' that would be clearly true, but as much of the debate has been about 'once a council is elected, what it does is right and mandated' I think there is greater merit in using this as a debating point.
