The, Snorky?s on one with all this thread starting business this morning thread


Recommended Posts

I'm going to crash a gallery tonight, and get ripped to the tits on free red wine. Then revisit it all over some unfortunate at a suburban station.


The rest of you bourgeois lamers will probably be sucking The Man's appendage - not like me and Dave. We'll be out free-sourcing till the last train to Redhill (11:03). And Dave's only got Zones 1-6 on his travel card, the mad fecker.

Snorkers


There is even a term for this artfully mismatched array. I believe it's called a "harlequin set" (oh yuk,I just did a little sick in my mouth then )



But it's the "exhibitions/shows" of dross travel/art photos that finally ties the anvil round my neck ........blegggghhhhhhh



W**F


* licking the gum off a dozen stamps just for the hell of it...mwoaaah ..mmmm*

I used to go to a few of those gallery opening things, when I had friends in the art world (before they all left London). On the plus side, you'd get a few hot women there, and plenty of free booze. On the downside, the art was usually shite and the places tended to be brimming with insufferable pretentious fops, faux-bohemian dullards, wannabe socialites, plus a smattering of city workers in search of aforementioned hot women.


Give me a decent steak and a bottle of wine at the Palmerston any day.

Anyone who pays anything ever for art, food, drinks, travel, houses, nannies, skips, blinis, casual slacks, rare '33s, lawnmowers, black polo necks etc is a misguided, duped, dumb, blind, deaf, mute consumer.


PS Tip about the Black Cherry. Go in, order two HeavensToBetsy's and then leg it with the free Bombay Mix when the Barman's got his back turned crushing his Juniper Seeds. You snooze you looze. I could tell you some tales.

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
