As long as you chap on it's still gonna be cold!

Ah, that explains the states you get in every weekend...drinking everything as fast as possible before it gets warm!

Gig was awesome, really enjoyed Dross! Got some good bruises from Ablach. Didn't get stopped by cops with drink in had whilst walking to pub.

All round success.

When it was run independently as a wee bar with an interesting food & drinks menu open every day from 12-12 with an attached nightclub which operated 2/3 times a week it was in it's prime as far as im concerned. It changed hands for whatever reason and when it was touted as a 'Venue", focus shifted completely from bar with night club attached to "venue" with bar attached, new owners with no idea what to do with a bar let alone a kitchen.

Anyway, grumpy rants aside I cant say im surprised, but i am incredibly sad that Bassment has closed as a result, I always felt it had a great deal of potential, and at least when i worked there, there were a great bunch of really committed guys behind the bar, an awesome atmosphere and a great bunch of regulars. Shame the way the building works it's not really possible to run Bassment as a separate entity from it's club/venue/albatross.

I completely agree with all of this. It always seemed to be one or the other - originally bassment was the priority and the club suffered, then vice versa. Bassment has been going downhill for a while and - no offence to those working there - I think without the 'oldschool' staff constantly pushing it, it lost a lot of it's atmosphere.

There are many other reasons for this, but I can't be assed going into a rant (they never serve me well on abmus...)

Though as you said, after changing hands it was never the same.

I had a lot of fun working there, and although its been a while I will always have awesome memories. Donkey drop anyone?

I got left out.....

That's because no one could see you perched upon your tiny stool.

Atleast someone could call me prince... Or the artist formerly known as "Vishnu".

I am calling you Vishnu from now on. Hahahaha. Maybe even 'Prince Vishnu'.

Spotted Teabags - presenting his balls to fli$. I believe the words "Look at it!" were shouted. The mating ritual of a true gentleman.

He then proceeded to get in a wee sulk because I refused to look and told him to put it away. Shunned.

Though I think he might have also been sulking due to discovering his shoulders are bigger then mine.

We all skin our girlfriends and wear them as suits.

Any excuse eh bags?

And Bazz, please don't encourage him to get his balls out any more than he already does!!! Especially when there is a stage and a risk of ass cheek spreading. Again.

Jesus dont perform gigs, they perform miracles.

This had me in stitches!

I have it all on video...I need to put them up so you can witness the miracles over and over again.

Congrats guys!!!

This would be the greatest thing in the world ever.

Ace, should be fun!

Ah, well for some bizarre reason Sid told Alby he spotted someone with een. Wanted a copy to merge the sounds. Guessing not everyone was privy to your plans.[/QUOTE]

Hahaha, is anyone ever?

I miss Bobby, he made me feel good about myself with his constant flirting.

Is that a pre-motherhood Karen Petrie onstage too?

Karen Petrie says: No chris I don't have curly hair and I never wore a belly top.... HA!

Charming. Really.

I was just trying to deflect some attention away from personal arguments that are none of most of the folks on here's business. Anyhoo...

Bad day?

That was the reasoning behind the first post, I don't think the original comment (the one I quoted) was necessary - that is all

Nah, just a boring day And I haven't wound Chris up in a while Now whose being mature....

Rather bemused by Mel's nomination though, I can think of a dozen other girls more worthy of the title.

Yeah, so can I

Oooooooh *clutches handbag*. Fuck you and your sarcasm.

I'd be more offended if you could say that to my face - maybe one day you'll get the balls to get out from behind your moniter to argue with folk, eh?

There's always two sides to a story.

Yeah, and I know both. Thanks for the input though.

God, what a choice, my nightmare psycho ex-girlfriend or my Internet Arch-Nemesis...

(Voted for the ex)

Always flying the flag of maturity and dignity, huh?

Only just found out about this last night - a few of us are going down, last minute gigs rock!

Come on Bri....you know you want to.....

I had an awesome time! Cheers Bri and Craigie!

i thought the band were great and of a really high level of musicianship too

drummer was outstanding

as for the other issues,

the sound was great i thought, the problem was the people who talked really loudly through all the quiet bits - why pay 18 a ticket then chatter?

layout is also something i wouldnt fault apart form maybe the stage could be higher to improve visibility at sold out gigs - lemon tree pillars were much worse

im not against talking at gigs or anything like that, its fine as it is after all a social event

just felt a little bit for the band during the quiet build ups when they were changing pace and people seemed to talk over it

anyway,

moshulu is set for a refurb very soon and these problems and issues dont go un-noticed.

Id like it to happen as much as you do

Bumpity bump

Maybe next time speak to us in person when your out rather than making a post directed at us on a public forum...

We do try our best, but unfortunately it is a nightclub and there are drinks going to be spilled on the floor. We couldn't possibly run around mopping up every time someone spilt/dropped/threw a drink across the room! I do understand sometimes it's worse than other times (try walking across it with arms full of glasses and people dancing at/with you!) and in these circumstances we make an effort to clean it up (regarding we know it is there, of course).

The next time it happens and you feel your safety is being compromised just come up to the bar and request it gets cleaned up, or let a doorman know to tell us.

If you have any other problems give me a call at the club or come in and speak to me in person, I don't really feel this needs a big thread on the internet!

Thankies!
