As much as the concept of taking on the role of the "South of Watford's Himmler", despite my obvious distaste for the actual politics, gives me a warm feeling that probably should have me in front of a psychotherapist for a few years, my complete lack of knowledge of London's pubs prevents me from putting on the uniform at this point.

However, once a consensus has started to form I'll willingly step into the breach, claim it all for my idea and cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.

what title do I get? do people have to call me "sir"? and salute? just wondering, y'know...

D'oh! Thank you?

OK, can someone who knows the Camden pubs produce a shortlist of 3 which:

1. Don't have a dress code
2. Won't be filled with footy fans (i.e. no TV)
3. Have enough space to accomodate up to 20 drunken idiots on a Saturday afternoon/evening without a squash

I knew we should have done this in Brighton....

Andy TG · 30 Mar 2005, 01:06

OK - I think The Purple Turtle is the Pub I am thinking of.

Otherwise It could be The Worlds End - I remember being downstairs and food was being served.

I must say I very much like the idea of the pub near the bridge - the one with the beer garden. If its the same bridge I am thinking of - a railway bridge - its very near the BIG Candem Market and is also close to the Smaller Market and also close to the "Dev" - not that I really care - I am really looking forward to meeting some of you lovely people.

I must confess that I would much rather NOT be ina pub Full Of Footy Fans. No offence meant but I and Mrs Goth are not comfortable around "hardcore" football fans. - I am sure some of you Know what I mean.

Back to The Worlds End - good name for a pub that - do they have footy fans watching the match there?

Wow - This really looks like it going to turn out to be a really great "Meet-Up" and I for one cant wait!

I know what this is all about - it's a p*ss-up, isn't it, with Eldo as a convenient excuse, you drunks!

Dave R · 30 Mar 2005, 09:13

f**k.

rumbled.

For those worried about football: Chelsea v Charlton is on TV from midday, it's a 12.45 kick off and will be over by 3pm.

At 5.35 we have Man Utd v West Brom, which I can't see being a crowd-puller.

Unless they've got one of those dodgy Scandinavian satellites they won't have a game on screen at 3pm.

Fans of teams in Championship are safe - all those games kick off at 1pm on Sunday. I'm sure Stoke will enjoy helping us parade the trophy around the SoL

Damn. Sorry kids, I'm out.

Shadow_Smile · 30 Mar 2005, 11:58

I can come, and I will come ! ! !

But the only thing I would like to know, can some one offer me a place to sleep ? ? ? (is muuuuuuuuuch cheaper than a hotel)

I will come by boat, with my motor. Just need a place to sleep !

I went to Devonshire Arms last night and:
1. they have a big screen playing videos - and they played 2 TSOM songs! (followed by the M****n

)
2. I spoke to the DJ and asked him if we were to organize the HL meet-up in there would they be less strict about the dress code - he said they would.

I think they want to get some more business at the moment, so I think it would be a good place to meet up. Good music, no football... We can even get the tables reserved if we like

So what do you all think about it???

Sounds a bit better! if it does turn out to be cr@p, we could always uproot and go elsewhere.

Mrs RicheyJames · 30 Mar 2005, 17:33

Yeay!! I vote The Dev.

lazarus corporation · 30 Mar 2005, 17:57

Ok, since the Dev have said they'll relax the dress code for us (which was the only concern about that particular pub) then the Dev it is.

If we went to the Fox we could invade nearby Poland Street. Just to practise

And no, I'm not re-opening the venue debate. It's just a lame joke.
