Brockwell Lido breakfast club mark II

[wiskey]

i was gonna go to the lido today but i've wimped out so the rec it is

 

[rennie]

I might see you there than PieEye! (if I wake up and it's not freezing cold that is!)

 

[eme]

will be there for 7:30...

 

[Hollis]

will be there for 7:30...

You won't be smiling Monday morning.

 

[colacubes]

I'll be there at about 7.15 - my MOnday swim set me up right proper for the week

 

[zenie]

I need to get my hair cut – can I come out and then go back in?

 

[Biddlybee]

Just worked it out - are you asking if a ticket lasts all day? It's probably for one swim only.

 

[Pieface]

Will I look like a twat if I go in a bikini? I don't have a swimming costume...will I look flippant and as if I don't take the business of swimming very seriously? Will they care and elbow me in the face, these old, fit people??

 

[Biddlybee]

yes, yes and yes

Nah, don't think they'll care, but your belly might be a little bit more chilly.

and if anyone elbows you... kick them!!

 

[Pieface]

but you're belly might be a little bit more chilly.

I doubt it

And it's "your", B - "you're" is the abbreviated form of "you are" and as we all know that doesn't make sense.

Sheesh I'm going to push you in the pool for that.

<bombs>

 

[Biddlybee]

I've lost all ability to understand and write English today

<prepares to be pushed>

 

[SubZeroCat]

I'm having trouble getting up in the morning at the moment + oversleeping. I'm really tired all the time so I can't do any early morning swims.

Plus, I am really poor so I can't afford it

 

[Pieface]

Correct capitalisation there, mind

 

[rennie]

Oooh shit forgot about the being really poor bit. Bring on payday!

 

[Pieface]

I haven't

 

[wiskey]

its twice the price of the rec (almost) and i'm a poor person (specially as i have my doubts i'll get up early)

 

[wiskey]

I need to get my hair cut – can I come out and then go back in?

afaik its an all day ticket but you cant leave

anyway you cant be having your hair done every monday

I found that most of the oldies are bikinis anyway, strutting their septigenarian bellybuttons

I wanna be able to wear a bikini when I'm a granny. The lido oldies rock!


I'll be in two-piece, but its a speedo-sporty type rather than itsy-bitsy bikini number. Cossies concertina me up, I end up bent double under the force of lycra.

 

[Pieface]

Know what you mean - last time I tried one on it felt so weird I couldn't understand how I wore them when I was little.

Maybe it was just too small

 

[wiskey]

i like my costume, its reassuringly covering

 

[gaijingirl]

Me too.... Here's me earlier* at the Lido!!

*about 4 dress sizes and 70 year earlier

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

OK, I'll go to bed on Sunday with good intentions at least.

 

[zenie]

afaik its an all day ticket but you cant leave

Yeh thats what I meant - why cant you leave?

No just this monday though that's all off now FFS

 

[wiskey]

Yeh thats what I meant - why cant you leave?

why should you be able to?? it never occurred to me you might want to.

i spose they say no cos its hassle letting you back in. or it might affect numbers if you've already paid and want to come back in but its full to capacity.

dunno

Well you might want to pop up the road for more beer/fags/lunch/etc that's all

 

[wiskey]

fair enough

i spose i've always been driven out by the hoardes of maurauding children before i got to that stage

I like spending the day at lido's swim and a sunbathe

But yeh the kids I forgot about them

 

[wiskey]

i ought to point out i dont know you cant leave and come back.

i looked here http://www.brockwelllido.com/ but it doesnt seem to tell you

 

[waverunner]

I am definitely still up for this, provided the weather's a bit warmer than it's been the past few days What's the quickest way to get there from Leigham Court Road? Can't quite figure it out in my poor confused head

 

[binrak]

i just voted for weds but mondays would be good too. I think i should get a season ticket- the price of it will force me to go regularly this summer!
