The Albert Renovations

[Dubversion]

Last time I was in The Trinity I was sat next to this man

ringolevio?

 

[rennie]

i thought he cut his hair.

 

[Blagsta]

That's not Ringolevio, its John Whelan the tory deputy leader of Lambeth Council.

 

[Dubversion]

it was a joke!

 

[Blagsta]

it was a joke!

Yes, I know.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

you're likely to be waylaid by a random nutter - I prefer to be left alone by people when I'm drinking, I'm not that keen on striking up conversations with local 'characters'

Sorry, I'll remember that in future

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I take your point, though one good thing about many of Brixton's more eccentric characters is that you don't have to worry about what to say. You can't get a word in edgeways.

 

[LDR]

Not at all - but if I'm on my own, it's for a reason.

Yeah! Nobody likes you!

 

[Dubversion]

Yeah! Nobody likes you!

He was in there last night as well.

 

[Blagsta]

He was in there last night as well.

When he sat next to me and Red Cat, we started talking very loudly about how crap the council were and what a scandal the housing situation is in Lambeth.

[Blagsta]

Its 2nd now!

He didn't say anything about Faith Boardman's pay-off, did he?

 

[Blagsta]

He didn't say anything about Faith Boardman's pay-off, did he?

No, can't remember what they were on about, it wasn't very interesting.

Uh oh. Not another Friday night in the Trinity!! Noooooooo!!

 

[lang rabbie]

It's perfectly simple. I fear there may have been something after all in Zoe Williams's recent assertions about women alone in pubs, judging by the she's-no-better-than-she-should-be glances.

Doh! Only just realised you meant Zoe's column back in July, not her longer Grauniad article on the same day you posted that.

I used to be fine going to the pub on my own, however was put off when the assumption was made on a couple of occassions that as a female alone in a pub I was clearly in the pub and gagging for it. However I found in London that my friends were not keen into going type of places I wanted to go to and so I'd go on my own, you get to talk to far more people than you would with a group of friends, you can dance and run away from freaks more easily, I've met some lovely friends with similar interests and my boyfriend on nights that I went out without companionship

 

[IntoStella]

Doh! Only just realised you meant Zoe's column back in July, not her longer Grauniad article on the same day you posted that.

In my case, she was actually quite correct here:

What you never see or, if you're a woman yourself, never do is this: buy newspaper/puzzle magazine; stroll into nice looking pub; order solitary pint; sit down, drink it, leave.

I would NEVER stay for just one pint.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Ditto!

 

[rennie]

haha... me too! I met my husband when I was drinking alone in a Brixton pub. so far so good!

You're a lucky lady.

 

[rennie]

or maybe he's a lucky fella!

 

[sonik]

So are we to assume it might not be open later then?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

No, I reckon it will be open...if not I'm breaking in....

 

[sonik]

I had a weird dream last night about a TV program showing you round newly refurbished pubs and there was Pat with long hair showing off the new look Albert, all very strange.
