One week in Greece - Anarchist Solidarity with French Uprisings

[Pickman's model]

Aren't we all fighting for the same better world, where a man can relate Negri to seven different kinds of technology before breakfast?

if you're going to discuss negri that early, it's not a proper revolution.

 

[Idris2002]

Well, in that case we'd talk about the affair Dr. X is having with Professor Y.

You vulgar proletarian types could talk about the football or something.

 

[Ryazan]

Are you not a proletarian?

about lunchtime's fine - but before breakfast?

 

[Idris2002]

What on earth gave you that idea dear boy?

ADDS:

Check your pms, if you would be so good.

 

[Ryazan]

The Pride of Petrograd. I half expected you to be a Vyborg factory worker, recently joined as a member of the Red Guard, roaming around the frosty Nevsky at night, with your machine gun, scowling and slurring under your vodka breath "tebya tozhe" to posh people walking past in their "German clothes".

 

[Ryazan]

Checking pm's.

Ah if it only it were that simple!

In the immortal words of Maxim Gorky, 'Don't trust that Nevsky Prospect'!

I know you your taking about and I bet you're not joking either, I think he must be powered by some sort of very advanced alien technology - his batteries never seem to run down.

 

[Idris2002]

He is one of the good guys, though, as was A*** W***, who I used to share a house with .

Your pm box is full, so here is my message-

I don't know. But I thought like in Moscow, Piter would have calls within the city free of charge. You are charged for calls outside the Moscow area code of course. You must have been calling people a lot in Primorvsky Krai or summat eh?

Nevsky? Decadent as fuck. The Lower Depths mate.

 

[Idris2002]

I've had to make some international calls as well, that may have done it.

Maybe there's some other reason.

As for NP, it is as you say it is. I mean look at all the nude statuary!

 

[Ryazan]

Ah if it only it were that simple!

True.

I mean Petrograd was the name change to make your wonderful city not sound so Hun-like. If you are a proper proletarian Bolshevik then you would have said Petersburg.

Fucking Petrograd Soviet.

 

[Idris2002]

There's an old Irish song called 'Pride of Petravore'.

My tag line was a pun, or a play on words.

Coudn't see owt for designer clothing boutiques, KFC, Students pretending to be poor buskers, playing renditions of crap russian punk songs. Oh and snotty rich Russian teenagers strutting around wearing those Palestinian headscarve thingies. Stepan Razin is a nice drink though.

Have you been to the Liverpool Club? Fuck me, that was a so shit it's good experience. Nice atmosphere, the Cavern mock-up Beatles theme bar complete with Beatles tribute band (with a woman?) was fun. I had a great time. And when feeling a little hungry and taking a peek at the menu, what was before my eyes, but the words- Fish and Chips!

 

[Idris2002]

I tend to stick to Mollie's Irish Pub, when around Nevsky. It is actually pretty authentic, he wrote, cringing.

Box cleared now, but it's probably no longer necessary.

There is a Molly Gwen's in Moscow. Didn't seem authentic to me. Lot's of waitresses in low cut tops and short, very short, tartan skirts.

You talking about one of my lot there?

 

[revol68]

yeah i know'em too, nice guy was origionally involved with schnews years ago.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

This is getting like a communist version of the Kevin Bacon game.

Is the Arbat Irish House still on Novy Arbat? It was still Kalinin Prospect when I first went in there. As far as I know it was the first Irish theme pub in the USSR.

 

[Random]

yeah

I think you are on about the Shamrock Bar. It is still there but have never been in. It was I think the first foreign venture drinking establishment to be opened in the dying days of the Soviet Union, during the Perestroika period of the Eighties. I don't usually go around that area if I want to drink, it is too expensive, but mind you, some other establishments further out can be dangerous! Molly Gwens is not an Irish theme pub, but supposed to be English, like the John Bull. It is not far from the Tretyakov museum. I did have the pleasure of sitting in another "English" pub called The Albion which is situated not far from Red Square. This was in August and it was bloody hot. The Stella was nectar. I had been to a shop near the G.U.M to buy my girlfriend some Doc Marten boots. She can't afford that kind of thing.

 

[Idris2002]

You talking about one of my lot there?

One of your ex-members by now, but yes.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

A political renegade you mean? Remind me to ruthlessly ostracise him...

 

[Idris2002]

I think he's found more congenial company by now. Anyway, I've lost touch with him, so I don't know what's he up to these days.

G.U.M

Genito Urinary Medicine GUM Clinic you hound

 

[In Bloom]

WTF have these Anarchists got against Greeks studying French?

If they really must commit arson, couldn't they stick to burning down the car dealerships?

What are you, an intellectual?

 

[Ryazan]

G.U.M

Genito Urinary Medicine GUM Clinic you hound

Gosudarstvenny Universalny Magazin. But, I have had to visit the type of clinic that you have mentioned on two occasions.
