Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[Fingers]

Removing the shock of it happening, it's nice that her last day was surrounded by her family and with all the good cheer of Christmas. Everyone has to go some time and not everyone has such a good last day.

Oh very true there. She was the most negative person I have ever met. Was impressed she went out in style!

I laddered my tights today. Fuck you discobastard

Ok, it seems like there's some kind of 'laddergate' going on here. For those that are interested, the ladder kindly supplied by Maharani couldn't be more perfect for the job it needs to do. Here it is with the offending lightswitch - I am going to OWN that lightswitch tomorrow, I'm telling you.



And there's been a lot of quite frankly questionable stories flying around talking about colour co-ordinated ladders, British Standard ladders, some emotional tales involving ladders and a quite flabbergasting comment blaming me for some laddered tights.

Not one of those stories rung true.

(Sorry I spent all night trying to pun on ladders and that's the best I could do after four pints of Gamma Ray listening to Earl Brutus)

I'm going to have another handful because I'm generous and maybe I'm just being precious after a few drinks.

 

[discobastard]

Oh god no. I implore you all.

My stories were unfortunately true (or what me mum told me)

Careful up that ladder sunshine!

Ended up in the White Hart tonight. Top pub full of interesting people and truly dreadful karaoke. what more could you want?
Great night..

 

[Thimble Queen]

Found some young people on the pavement opposite the white Hart yesterday. One of whom had lost their belongings inside and the other was claiming to have been head butted by one of the proprietors. Obviously I can't be certain what actually happened as I only saw the aftermath but the lads face was a mess and the girl was quite upset

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I would be very surprised if one of the proprietors had head butted a customer, even a very difficult customer.

 

[Maharani]

Not sure mate. He was a bit eccentric, must correct this though. He was my GG grandad.

My grandma karked after Christmas dinner right in front of us after i had done the washing up. 2001. That was a day to remember

Shows how often you do the washing up. She died of shock obvs.

Did they appear to be very drunk?

 

[Thimble Queen]

They'd obviously had a few drinks and we're a little worse for wear. Did you see what happened?

 

[Maharani]

No not at all. I agree with Nanker Phelge, I can't imagine any of the staff being violent in any way. I can imagine a few of the punters being so however. Maybe they got the staff mixed up with punters?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

It wasn't me....

 

[Maharani]

That place has really gone back to being dark and moody. A ghostly pub of venomous no ones. I do like the staff though. They're a good bunch.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Having witnessed the ejection of a few difficult people in recent weeks I can say that it has always been handled in a swift, firm and professional fashion...

 

[Nanker Phelge]

A ghostly pub of venomous no ones

Bit harsh. I might be venomous, and occasionally dark and moody, but I'm not a no one....

 

[nick]

I'm a no one.

My observations:

• A complete mix of people
• Hipster light, no dawgs to be bought
  
• Very friendly - chatted to a few people I had never seen before
• Staff very friendly; landlord handing out large shots of Jamiesons to anyone who was Irish (or had been to Ireland, or who had heard of it)
• Some of the punters may have appeared moody - but everyone seemed in a happy relaxed mood and was up for a chat
  
• Didn't see the incident mentioned, but saw a group leaving followed by various discussions outside and some floor being mopped up. If there was an altercation it was quick and quiet and contained. Doubt it was the staff
• The Karaoke standard was very low, with notable exception of the bloke that sang True Faith (who it transpired believed New Order to be better than sliced bread) - although everyone got a cheer for their efforts, even if they made ears bleed.

It was agreed with those I talked to that it was a proper pub with no delusions of grandeur and that it should do well as the Railway goes trendier

Yeah I like I say I have no idea what happened. Just sharing what I was told and saw. Whatever happened looked nasty.

Anyway on to other things... I'm currently locked out with my keys on the inside of the door. Can I borrow a ladder.

gaijingirl are you around and do you have my spare set of keys?

Tulse Hill massive please help!

 

[Thimble Queen]

No not at all. I agree with Nanker Phelge, I can't imagine any of the staff being violent in any way. I can imagine a few of the punters being so however. Maybe they got the staff mixed up with punters?

Yeah that's highly likely tbh.

Are you one of the ppl with ladders?

Smick?

I was being a bit off tbh. It's better than it has been in a long time in there.

 

[Maharani]

Yeah that's highly likely tbh.

Me, ladders? I am yes. Although discobastard is currently using them. I expect he's on them now trying to fathom his light switch. Be careful and good luck!

Bit harsh. I might be venomous, and occasionally dark and moody, but I'm not a no one....

Certainly, you're not a no one.
