We should organise one of these shouldn't we. Nottingham types obvs. Slash east midlanders. Perhaps some kind of house party or tiny venue take over.
But where, why, how and when? I don't know I'm just bored.

i also found some Chocolate Caramel Shortbread
so, as you were
Maybe
should take over Lee Rosy's with some 80s hair metal?
veto
the Lee Rosy's idea might be good
I wish I had a shite house in Nottingham. Or Leicester. Or both somehow. Then I could imagine I was a property magnate like Robbie Fowler.
Lee Rosys eh?
I was wondering what it'd be like to jump through one of their windows in an 80s-action esque manner.
to answer your question: spectacular
The next night out i'm going to attempt it
whilst wearing a sports jacket.
Would you prefer to throw me through me through it?
I'd glady dress as an 80s baddie - Eastern European accent, pony tail, scar, stubble.
Peterborough Beer Fest
end of August!
Ideal!
hai
i'm from the east midlands and i've always wanted to be on a committee
however, i have only been to nottingham once. i shall observe and take minutes.
cracking
and make the tea?
certainly
brown or white sugar?
half and half please
ooh
la-di-da
this thread is redundant
without Jordan from an organisation point of view, and Sadpunk from a PR/Credit Crunch awareness perspective.
hi
I approve of this event.
If it's after the 31st July then I have a spare room.
can Klaire have it?
i'm going to force her and her Pizza Express vouchers along whatever happens.
as long as you don't kall me klaire
i'm refering to you by screen name
in order to keep your real name hidden from people who do not know. Ok? Good.
What about my Emergency Planning skillz?
What if our venue floods? EH?
i'm planning to discharge biological weapon
do with that as you will
I would come to this, I've always considered myself more east Midlands than west, and I much prefer nights out in Leicester and Nottingham to Birmingham.
Just how many DiSers are from the Midlands though?
no-one would ever admit to it
where are you from again?
HILARIOUS JAKE
TELL ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR JOKES.
i fail to see the humour?
i am from
FA cup winning city Portsmouth.
awwwwwwww
i'll ask you again next year
Harry Redknapp
is just a shit Jamie Redknapp
THAT'S IT FOLKS! THE HONEY MOON IS OVER!
fuck you adam
fuck you.
:)
you know I like him really.
meeeeee
I'm from redditch yo.
Well i'm actually from mappleborough green/more like studley, but i played football in redditch. cricket in studley. school in edgbaston.
Hi,
I'm a Derby DiSer (perhaps the only Derby DiSer?) but Notts is only half an hour away from me, so yeah I'm up for this. No idea about where this'd happen though.
thats ok
i don't think we have either. Where's Jordan?
Hello
I've just got back from Billborough. We should not go there at all.
seconded
thirded
4thud
bilborough is SCARRYYYY, i have to go there 4 times a week
Oks...
so what's the format for this thing?
HD-DVD
Still available in that place upstairs in the Broad St mall?
Like.. is it just going to be a piss up or wot?
I like the idea of drink
music and possibly even bands in a small place (house preferably) and some kind of Skins-esque riot, but with the middle aged taking advantage where possible. Yeah? Wicked.
Minaars and When A Train Hits A Truck
playing live in Nicks flat?
I'm not playing
thats fo-sho. But i do think I deserve at least 10 power DJ minutes if that becomes possible.
Can't we use Moscow2's flat
as it's larger than mine? And use mine as 'the chillout room' (have they had these since about 1998?) with Pro Evo and Burnout?
Nothing makes a party like computer games!*
It's basically one step away from that annoying cunt who gets out the acoustic guitar! Why does that guy get invited to parties?
"Let's have a jam!"
Let's not.
*unless it's a Wii.
what about singstar?
never played it
and I don't sing well.
If someone has singstar..
..
neither of these are a problem
i have 'played' it once, and i can't hold a note for shit.
i maintain
that it rewards the tone deaf unfairly
Interesting....
ok
the kitchen can be the 'unsigned' stage where noisy improve side projects can play!
:D
I am actually loving this idea!
Haha
I wonder if the upstairs flats would be happy... heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh...
done
sounds like my idea of hell
count me out.
:(
not really!
i'm sure i'd enjoy it, just skins-esque nights out/in are really not my cup of tea. oh god i'm an oap, finish with me before i ask you to help me cross the road.
OAP?
You'll fit right in.
i'm only joking
my life has been entirely skins-esque free throughout and i'm jealous of you people with your friends and your dancing and your nakedness.
you're jealous of my nakedness?
you know i'm not naked now, right? plus i am an awful dancer. and the only friends i have i made on the internet. i am the anti-skins.
You can't be a worse dancer
than Snow_Brigade..
;-)
(safety wink)
that safety wink
was entirely unneeded and we both know it.
My last train home would be something stupid like 9:30pm, so I'd need to stay up all night and catch the first at 6:30am (which I've done a few times in the past for dot to dot anyway).
What's the latest closing pub/club?
Just go to Ocean / Oceana
and get a toothless hag to take you home?
Otherwise Rescue Rooms/Stealth closes at 4am I think.
5am
Get your party times right!
I'm too old to stay out that late!
Usually by about 2am I'm nagging the missus to take me home.
I'm so lame. :(
You are so lame
I have to get dragged out at three for the last bus.
Great! I can still be drunk for the journey home!
Knowing the train service round here
you'll probably need it!
Is the Social still in business?
Yes
It has a Kiss pinball machine which I am rubbish at, and loads of dry ice upstairs which makes it smell like laser quest.
I like that little room upstairs. I saw the Modey Lemon play there to about six people in 2004, never have so few people taken up so much room (all flailing limbs and such).
Free jukebox downstairs too!
Provided there's no DJ.
It's 'The Bodega' now.
Still has the oh so wonderful sociable hour though.
yes
but it's called The Bodega now.
Everyone still calls it The Social and it's still one of my favourite places in town.
isn't it called
The Bodega Social Club?
*shrug*
it's The Social and always will be.
i was surely
justifying that better than just saying 'its the Bodega'
I guess
no one EVER calls it that though.
Hmm
I haven't been for ages.
I've only known it as 'the social'...
because that's what it's really called :)
"It was called
the Bodega when I was your age" << Spanish' mum to Spanish
which is also quite small
and not shit.
i'm going to nottingham for the thing on the 13th sept.
one of my munich friends is from notts.
i don't know why i wanted to say that.
The Frightened Rabbit gig?
See you there! Bring socks!
socks?
knee socks,
we have a business venture.
yep.
and oh i will. lots of them, you bring the thread. CELEBRATION time though, what with me being english again. i'm gonna celebrate for 3 whole weeks.
FR were disappointing on tuesday :(
really?
i know someone who was at that gig and he said it was really good.
SHUT UP!
I bet they were really good and you're ears were disappointing!
*your
*your face
watch
whose ears you're calling 'disappointing'.
ew
:)
wow
so this is what it's like to have someone stick up for me.
i'm just trying to impress you
in reality i'd be confused by the fact he's wearing almost the same clothes as me and not know what to do. But the thought is there.
