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'?

    • So, i've had time to think about ever step of this incident. The main points are: I'd entered my pin number and was on the screen/page where you put in how much you want to withdraw At exactly that point the guy appeared and said the machine had taken his card, and started waving his hands over screen A 'menu' option came up on screen with two choices, one bottom left, one bottom right The bottom left option said something about entering a code to continue with transaction The guy was saying "press that or it'll take your card" - I didn't press either but he might have I haven't ever seen these on-screen options before - I didn't enter any details The guy then disappeared I pressed the 'cancel' button on keypad - the physical keypad - same screen options remained - no card was returned Within 30 seconds of me realising card wasn't coming out I froze card on banking app and immediately had two txt msgs from bank saying transactions were being declined (but one for £251 had already gone though). The ref on bank statement for all three was: CARDTRONICS UK LTD BT KIOSK O/S 54 EA. Bank statement also said the date, time and that there was a £1.50 ATM withdrawl fee.  I checked to see if there's a cashpoint in newsagent next door, but there's not. The cashpoint at petrol station is free so no ATM fee there eiher.   
    • Indeed and I am sure many will go for the music, which I also like. But, for me, at least, none of that makes up for or justifies the wider impact on the park, on the flora and fauna, on the parks' regular users, and on those living near by that are distressed by the noise- the next three days will not be Lover's Rock. In terms of overall impact, we are also talking weeks and months, with the aftermath always problematic with the main area so damaged it has to be reseeded each year and is rendered unusable the rest of summer. My biggest fear is that they will start to grow and add to this event, each year.
    • Please help us find Yun LAU.  He was last seen on Dunstans Road at 12.30 today (23/5/25). He has dementia and is quite deaf. If found, please call police who have his details, or his daughter Jennie (07769666524)
    • Was v. quick for me the other day and four people were ahead of me.
