Careful though, don't mention where roof dog is, in case 'the hipsters' find out and ruin it for everyone. PM Paolo for details.

That'll work. Just so long as Roof Dog hasn't been out to the same place he's been on about for the last few weeks. Or the hipsters aren't actually stalking him.

Flat roof pubs are all the rage now

Too late.

I'm still waiting for Dave to let me have my picnic blanket back, as it goes.

August was very quiet. Lots of people on holiday

October very busy. Onket's Post Office posts?

August had to compete with the might of the Brickers Banter & Tittle Tattle - August 2012 thread which had 416 wacky replies

I prefer the alternative ones but I think this month/last month's got closed.

OU started the September tittle tattle thread. It was not closed but I think from Eds post we can safely say he was not keen

Fuck's sake. This 'Brickers' joke was funny once but now it's just tired.

Why fuck up a really useful thread by starting a pointless copy with a comedy name?

 

[twistedAM]

Too late.

The jerk chicken guy is still there and there's also a pizza oven in the corner that becomes operational at the weekend. Quite why the management of the hob thought it was a good idea to introduce food competition within its own garden is a mystery to me...

Different jerk guy now...sadly Clint was given his marching orders... You can still get El Panzon in Granville Arcade...

If I'm in the right frame of mind I quite enjoy the hoot when it's busy. Usually loads of randoms to chat to, and plenty of our local Europeans - French and Spanish in particular.

Can't say I've seen any bad stuff from the bouncers myself, just pat downs. Ideally the venue wouldn't need to do that, but I can understand the reasons why. Bad shit can happen - saw someone nearly get glassed in the Albert the other week. If bouncers dissuade that kind of thing, fair play.

Pretty sure the main job of the bouncers is to stop people bringing their own drink in... and agree - Hoot only tolerable Sunday to Thurs...full of tourists at the weekend!

October is MINE.

But can November be yours as well?
