Rubbed out?

Arkady · February 2015

They've given it a new name, right? BBQ something?

slats · February 2015

Called Brisket now... same stuff tho..<br>

Papa · February 2015

I like Rub / Brisket's food. Their hot platter for £20 which gives Jerk ribs, jerk pulled pork, buffalo wings, chilli fries and chilli slaw if you eat in is very good value.<div><br></div><div>They've changed the seating around a bit, seemed to be a bit odd but has created a bit more atmosphere.<br><div><br></div><div>I'd change two things. </div><div><br></div><div>1) There is no point having a curtain to keep the cold out when the door is opened if you don't close it.</div><div>2) Serve beer in pints. It's all very well drinking craft ale in those trendy smaller glasses but I want a pint of it.</div></div>

JamieJamie · February 2015

I really like it here, tasty and good value. It's been good to see it grow.

MHP · February 2015

It looks a bit dark and depressing from outside, they need to chage the lighting. I'm pleased they do Mac n' cheese, they just need root beer now.

GRGNTN · February 2015

Can anyone explain what exactly makes the place a rum bar? Just like in it's original incarnation as a milk bar, if you're going to put it on your sign your better be dam good at it.

TescoPigeon · February 2015

That place is so mediocre it hurts. Anyone who fancies good US bbq should just hop on the Victoria line to Oxford circus walk 5 minutes and enjoy Bodeans. 3x better in my opinion

TescoPigeon · February 2015

I can't speak for the rum bar thing, but I can heartily recommend aces and eights in Tufnell Park for late night American style boozing. It's but a 5 quid uber cab ride away and we have nothing like it this side of holloway road

NorthNineteen · February 2015

Never been to Rub/Brisket but if Bodeans is 3x better that doesn't bode well... On the other hand, Pit Cue is excellent.

miss annie · February 2015

Aces & Eights is excellent!

markpack · February 2015

The veggie breakfasts are brilliant.

kreuzkav · February 2015

Veggie breakfast at a meat establishment.<div><br></div><div>@ Arkady. During the elictions you denied Markpack existed. He is a liberal organiser. I'm not stupid. If you block me in any way I will report you to the press. You know I'm tenacious and won't back down. You claimed his non-existence.</div>

miss annie · February 2015

Don't be ridiculous @Kreuzkav! @Arkady never claimed he didn't exist. Someone was ranting on about @markpack being Arkady. He isn't. You can quite easily see Mark through his website and published work online, Arkady made his real name quite public when he stood at the local elections. No idea what you would go to the press about, but I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you present this lot of drunken, paranoid ramblings to the Gazette. I might be the only one to have read the comment about Muslims, that you posted late one night a few weeks ago and sensibly deleted the next morning, that was equally ridiculous but more offensive. I suggest you think before you post, some of us are up early enough to see this nonsense before you delete it.

Arkady · February 2015

The person who claimed that Mark Pack and I were one and the same was, of course, Kreuzkav, which makes this all the funnier. Is Kreuzkav the only person that gets to post after midnight (which would be gloriously ironic) or did we finally lift the late night restrictions?

NorthNineteen · February 2015

I think you also accused me of being Mark Pack - it was him or some other lib dem person...<div><br></div><div>I've posted after midnight!</div>

Arkady · February 2015

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN'T POST AFTER MIDNIGHT BECAUSE THAT WOULD ALSO BE IRONIC

Arkady · February 2015

For the record: Stroudgreen.org uses Vanilla as it's hosting software. Vanilla includes a 'change log', which tracks any edits that people make to their own posts. Now mostly this just records people being pedantic about their sentence structure. But it also records people saying horrible and offensive things and then regretting it in the morning when they sober up. Some people might want to keep that in mind the next time they decide to libel people or make batshit accusations.

krappyrubsnif · February 2015

Does that mean that if I post something I regret and than delete it ALL to leave an empty pane, anyone with two brain cells can still figure out how to read it.......? Ulp.

Sutent · February 2015

Can you sort this out privately. This does not need to be a public group bullying exercise

vetski · February 2015

@Arkady, is it libellous to point out that horrible use of an apostrophe in your most recent post? *shudders*

Arkady · February 2015

@vetski - Damn, now you've pointed it out I can't fix it. Cruel.<div><br></div><div>@krappy, no, only a mod.</div>

vetski · February 2015

Sure you can!

Arkady · February 2015

No, it should stand as testimony to my shame.<div><br></div><div><img src="http://i.imgur.com/T5ydBrq.gif"><br></div>

vetski · February 2015

I'm sure Miss Annie & I would be able to stitch scarlet apostrophes to your clothing...

TescoPigeon · February 2015

Arguments like this on public forums are tiresome. No one wants to read it so yes can you take it offline please and let's get back to talking about access to the station/that latest coffeeshop/how much rubbish is piling up in our streets please. That is the primary reason I and many others joined. If we want to read silly posts we can go on youtube/the guardian etc.

There was an element of humour in what I said. This site has been used for Lib Dem propaganda. I don't hate them. I actually don't like Labour after the Scotish independence referendum and our local Labour councillor told us he was jetted up to Scotland to galvanise the the anti-independence vote. His attitude towards the Sottish was quite bad I thought. I'd prefer to vote for the Lib Dems rather than Labour after that. </span><div><br></div><div>I was worried about the Lib Dem power on here and how this site was being used to influence policy. I can't say I'm happy with the way this site seems to be pro-developer and the turning of SG into a welcome home for Starbucks and luxury flats. </div>

NorthNineteen · February 2015

So what to people recommend to eat at rubrisket?

Papa · February 2015

I'd recommend the Hot Platter - £22 in total and comfortably feeds two people whatever their political persuasion<div><br></div><div><br></div>

Arkady · February 2015

<font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">I'm almost scared to mention it, but I had an excellent breakfast with Mark Pack in there last year - some sort of variation of bacon and scrambled egg with - if I recall correctly - chorizo.</span></font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">I'd warn people against the breakfast burger through. It's huge. Essentially all the ingredients of a full English breakfast - piled on top of a cheeseburger. I spent the rest of the day feeling like I'd </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px; line-height: normal;">swallowed</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;"> a shot-put.</span></font></div>

Howdy, Stranger!
