TK Maxx coming to Brixton

[Badgers]

I was quite sad when Ivan's Retreat closed.
It was the only pub in Brixton my dad ever drunk in and he is called Ivan

(he likes wearing rugby shirts but is a tennis player)

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Ivan Lendl is your dad? I didn't think he was old enough....

 

[Badgers]

Ivan Lendl is your dad? I didn't think he was old enough....

Sadly (for my inheritance) he is not Ivan Lendl, but for a 70 year old (on this coming Monday) he still plays a mean game of tennis

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I was just teasing. I'm older than Ivan Lendl.

 

[Badgers]

I'm older than Ivan Lendl.

But better looking x

[Mrs Magpie]

You charmer, you.

long story

I've got plenty of time.

to get banned from the beehive is a monumental achievement. some of the goings-on ive witnessed in there that earned a gentle reprimand would result in a life-time ban in any other establishment.

 

[Griffter]

The Trinity is dull, full of suits and rugby shirted chaps every time I've been in there, far too posh. Couldn't even enjoy a quiet pint and conversation in there because of all the racket being made by them Hooray Henrys and braying yupp's.

The Rest is Noise was marginally better but always annoyingly full of hipsters, fuck paying nearly £4 for a can of red stripe poured into a glass too.

Give me the Beehive over them two any day. (if I wasn't barred that is)

Did you take a pint back and asked the barman to taste it because it seemed a bit funny?

Same as.

Let's be having it

I think maybe a little more random speculation first? I mean what do you have to do to get banned in the Beehive?

But we need to think through the wider issues here too. I'm also worried that RD may use up all the facepalms in the U75 cupboard and then editor wouldn't be able to have any arguments with anyone and the whole board will go into a tailspin.

Snorting cocaine off the bar, injecting whilst ordering a drink, smashing a glass in barman's face?

 

[co-op]

Taking a massive suck of lager from a freshly poured pint and then suddenly announcing he only had enough for a half but they should let him have the whole pint because it would be unhygienic not to (saw a geezer do this at a pub in Stockwell once, landlord called him a fucking pisstaker and tipped the remainder over him and they had a fight. It was about 12.15 in the afternoon).

Was that *after* RD was banned from the Beehive?

 

[editor]

Shitting into a pint pot and taking it back to the bar insisting he'd just been poured a 'bad pint'.

 

[co-op]

nah, too tame

But quite stylish in its own uniquely seedy way.

Just one of the many key facts that RD will need to divulge.

If you want to brag about getting banned from pubs, feel free to start a new thread; but can we get this TK Maxx thread back on topic.

 

[co-op]

Anyone been banned from TK Maxx then?

 

[co-op]

I got banned from Tescos in Kennington. Not quite the same.





Can you tell I'm ducking work?

Why stay on topic? The discussion has evolved

Maybe it's just me. I find people boasting about being banned from pubs or how drunk they got blah blah just boring.

 

[quimcunx]

we could talk about sybians. TKMaxx might stock them.

I think it's interesting, especially if it's for no particular reason or the landlord just has it in for you for no reason

I've got to be honest and say I don't think TK Maxx is that interesting.
