There are plenty of bling types in Brixton, to be fair, and they're almost definitely not in the meeja!

I've never seen anybody in there.


I passed by the weekend before last, and saw loads of Labour party suits having some sort of a function in there. It made me go eww, it just looked so off.
 
it doesn't open until Nov 17th... am trying to find out how you become a member n apparently it involves a face to face meeting with the manager. "very exclusive" it shall be!

Isn't this new place aimed at bling dripping meeja types in dark blue suits?



;)
quite appropriate then - there's four 'meejah' types on this thread alone, and you're one of them! :D

Maybe we should all infiltrate ourselves into the club and then come out as the scruffy bastards we are. :)

Hezza told Press Gazette that he reads three magazines: Country Life, The Spectator and... you guessed it... Horticulture Week. :cool: :cool: :o

Oi! I thought of it first!

If there's no entry fee then maybe I'll turn up for an interview .... pin stripe suit? DJ? In drag? The possibilities are endless...

I'm definitely NOT going to pay to become a member!!!! it's the novelty of the whole process that's attaractive.

In my Labour Party days (Old Labour Party, honest :o and years ago) we met in proper pubs and liked it!

Was it obvious they were Nu Laybore types then?

Memory fails me as to if they were wearing badges, or had a banner up, but it was very obviously them.
We almost had to stop for a good stare, it looked so incongruous (to us old Labour types) :D
 
I'm not sure those huge windows were such a good idea. I mean the location isn't exactly prime, and the view is of the Tesco carpark and all the clothing/recycling bins (and various bums picking through what they've managed to haul out of them). What the hell were they thinking? Place is doomed. I give it six months.

IntoStella said:
Yeah, but imagine how pissed off the Tarquins and Tallulahs on Campaign are right now. :D
:D :D
oh yes!!! you can see them crying into their Lattes "well, i bet lindsay masters likes us most"
 
I saw their menu at the weekend - it's hilarious - looks pretty standard gastropub fare, except the dishes are named after soul singers or songs - so we have the Lu Vandross (chicken something) and the Anita Baker (the bread basket!) :D

I give it 6 minutes!

Better take some photos of the place before it shuts down... The door handles on the glass doors are quite something!

I haven't seen this beast yet - must remember to check it out before it disappears.

I have yet to go and meet the manager n be interviewed to see if i'm eligible for membership. :rolleyes:
Considering that it closely resembles a tumbleweed filled desert most nights, I find it incredible that they're still keeping up that pretence.

That sounds like a very very bad restaurant I went to in Blackpool called something like Soul Food.....

What on earth is the Luther Vandross - chicken connection? :D
