The Tuts make dubious allegations after Brixton Windmill gig

[Mrs Magpie]

Yeah, but they were better than The Albert's

I never got hit in the face by a broom in the dark in the Albert.


edited to add, it was not wielded by anyone, it was because I couldn't see a thing trying to find the way into the loo.

In the blog,

*tries irish accent and 'fuck off Perkie'* and wonders how it may sound...

I don't know Perkie to any great extent. I saw her show at the Compass Theatre and then I met her after the incident yesterday. I'm not sure how Seamus was supposed to know her name.

I have not read them. Interesting read back then?

I remember years back there was a mass boycott of the auld albion in stokey cos the landlord apparently beat up a punk outside: the albion now gone. I wonder if the reaction against the windmill management over last night's little incident will lead to the same result.

and poor barstaff will lose their jobs

No it isn't. No mention of tractors or congresses on this thread. And no one's being called a lickspittle or a running dog of western imperialism.

Do you see the two pubs and music scenes as compatible? Just asking like, I don't know myself.

You were just incredibly unlucky then, although knowing the broom cupboard was there probably prevented me getting whacked with one

Maybe the Albert never owned a mop so had no need of a mop cupboard

sockpuppet ^^^

Seamus also attacked other people, including myself, Nadia had nothing to do with.

This thread has a severe lack of tractors.

Has anyone tried a Suarez? "Seamus comes from a town in the Ireland where that word is used affectionately, especially in the middle of a row."

aw, thanks. i thought you hated us.

the pubs aren't much the same but the allegations of landlord violence and threatened boycotts are.

Few extra members though Ed!

Here's one. It has a picture of a windmill in the background though

how do you define the appropriate force to use to get someone out of a pub if the don't want to go?

I know - seriously - this discrimination against the Irish is making me mad.

 

[editor]

You have to remember as well that Seamus is Donegal and therefore to some people (including Irish) has a totally unintelligible accent anyway, but I think I would know the difference between Perkie and Paki if he said it

Indeed.

Was just curious. Was unsure how reliant they were on the indie/punk trade to get trade.

apparently seamus or nadia should have walked away. clearly the thinking lies that seeing as she wouldn't back down and leave, he should have kept the peace by allowing everyone in the pub to know that you can do what you like in the windmill and nothing will happen. how long do you think that would last in brixton? he'd never sell a drink again.

 

[editor]

Don't ever ask if you can 'bum a fag' off someone in a US bar. That is all.

Depends on the context, in't it. Some people might need a bit more than others, but there's more than one way to flay a cat and there's more than one way to get someone out a pub, not all of which need violence / threat of violence

i can't imaging a nice neat way of going about it. especially if one of the people is drunk/acting up. there is of course a level where you have gone to far but if words have failed it's going to be fucking difficult to do. i've been left with bruises just form mates pushing me about in my room for laughs. i'd imagine just trying to physically escort someone out must be a fucking minefield for any publican

I have a mental image of a hansel and gretel-style trail of vodka bottles labelled "free" leading towards the nearest exit.

What's that in English?
