the red rose down seven sisters used to have a monthly noise/industrial/power electronics night that i would frequent. now it's 'club imperial' and looks even more stabby than it ever used to...
nick_m, gender politics in these countries often leave a lot to be desired. subjugating women as general is not made up for by helping them get their pram on a bus.
i work late nights. on a friday or saturday, when everybody's pissed as a fart and having a good time, and i'm squeezed on the n29 following a long and nasty shift, does anybody ever offer me a seat? no freaking way. even if i was a lady girly woman…
you yourself may not expect it. and i do try to help out where and when i can. i'm just turned off by the sense of entitlement exhibited by many people out there. and by those offensively large juggernaut prams.
david - damn right. my mum had a single pushchair, which i was ousted from when my little brother was born, so i would have been 13 months old. it drives me crazy when you see four year olds (usually chubby ones) being pushed around...

'bugger' is a corruption of the now out-of-use word 'bougar' which means 'belgian'. it means anal sex, which was initially meant as a slur on the belgian nation. 'bugger all' is the same as 'fuck all'.
and you don't know what 'useless' means? do …
slats - your friend met somebody on the internet next month? wow technology is ace!
who the feck is sarah beeny?
and bored housewives and care-in-the-community types are surely a goldmine of the aforementioned no-strings sex, no?
the fox is a shithole now (always was really), and the dev is no longer the dev. big red is probably the best bet, or somewhere in camden other than the dev. next weekend? i'll have a look if there are any decent gigs on...
