I'm pretty much a fan of all over the venues bar the mysterious 'other' above. I've got very fond memories of gigs at all of them over the years. Like Flash says we're kinda spoiled.

That's a good point actually! I've had a really fun night at each of them. I haven't voted yet though, still can't decide on a favourite! x

The only regular Aerosmith T-shirt wearing member of staff at Moshulu will love this.

I'm going to let you into a little secret. Shhh....

When there are over 600 people in one room, 5/6 people on the bar, and 4 kegs run out at once, the fruit juices need refilled, there is a lack of glasses because everyone is just throwing theirs on the dancefloor, the bar is covered in spilled drinks because someone has no concept of 'grip' and needs cleaned, we've ran out of 20p coins in the til, have to ID people who are 15 but stupid enough to ask for a drink, then it might just take a little bit longer to be served. But the real secret here, and this one might surprise alot of people.... If you are clearly being an arse about having to wait, or just shout your order while we're serving someone else, wave money at us, whistle etc., it's going to take you a hell of a lot longer before anyone serves you. Be patient: we're having a much worse time than you are.

vote.

Amen to that. I just don't understand though how the clothing of barstaff can ruin a gig for people. Or make it better for people. Christ, complaining about an Aerosmith t-shirt? Some people just like to have something to bitch about - for all the things that are and might be wrong with Moshulu, the t-shirts the staff wear are at the bottom of the barrel. And surely watching the bands you have paid money to see and enjoying the music is far more important than getting a jack and coke? If you don't want to wait 20 minutes for a drink, don't wait 20 minutes for a drink - nobody is forcing you to. At the end of the day if you don't buy alcohol it is the venue that is suffering and they themselves will give the staff shit for poor service. As Stuart said, we don't need you doing it for them. Pissing the bar staff off wont get you served any quicker. We'll most likely tell you to fuck off and ignore you until you go away!

Lisa or G?

Come to think of it I've never seen them both wearing them at the same time. Maybe they share one.

hm, maybe their hatred for one another is just an act and they actually have sleepovers and clothes swaps!?

This has been completely off topic.....apologies. And apologies for the rant. Anyway. I quite like the moorings, it has an awesome atmosphere.

Last I saw of Mark he was working as a security guard at ARI... I think the reason he left Presents was because he got bored of it to be honest...

Apparently him and his wife (the woman with the auburn, reddish hair who owned the place. She was the one that told me this, but I can't remember her name) seperated/divorced. After that happened she wanted the store to go back to the way it used to be - minus all the paraphanalia (sp?). She told him that he could keept the upstairs bit seperate from the shop as a peircing studio but he declined. The reason it ended up closing was because she was wanting to get away from it and make a change, and the increasing costs in running it.

God I need to get a life.

I'll get candidates to play "Wall Of Skin" while I hurl stuff at them and kick them repeatedly about the head and torso.

ooooh! Can I help?

How the FUCK did she get her licence?!

Fuck you! I do that too...and I can't park...and I drove on the pavement during my test...hmm

Upon mine and Rass' return from Edinburgh this evening, we were met by John C. He had a video on his phone from a party he was at last night. The video was of none other than Craigie. Being punched in the face by sarah jones.

I believe that is how he got the black eye Brian.

Also on video was Craigie table dancing. Man that bald headed man can move....

I got the night off work especially for it! I will be there. In hopefully reasonably (sp?) good time too! Can't wait......

Before those two get into arguing....

I could be a backing singer if you want one?! I wouldnt even have to perm my hair! It's already curly. And I have about 20 cans of hairspray!

Could be a laugh eh?

That sounds amazing! I wish I could play an instrument. Then I'd join

Didn't one of guitar wolf die?

Yes, the Bassist. Hence the recruitment of a new one....

I thought it was quite witty....

Hehe, that is a good idea! I never thought of that. Dammit. Yes, the bathroom is nasty, for further details of our messy flat in general refer to that thread ages ago about messy flats. Anyway, you think the bathroom is bad, you should see the living room.

I have wondered about the phone book for a while now, not sure why it's there. Along with all the strangely placed things around here...

Anyway, Ian, and puke. Ha

Spaced is awesome, I love Spaced. I could watch it for hours on end daily! It's so quotable also, just, amazing.

A few hours later after waking up for work, a 3 hour sleep which was interrupted by ian stumbling into my room, then a vast array of beepy noises (his alarm and mel paging the fone?!) discovering once again I cannot go to the bathroom in my own flat, I can honestly say any humour, has gone. I am really quite pissed off now. Grr.

i envy you' date=' ive got an empty bottle here torturing me! :'(

i really should throw it out...

edit: if you think jager tastes bad DO NOT try "the monstrosity"[/quote']

I've got a bathroom full of it if you're that desperate. It's probably diluted enough for you to drink it now. From the sounds of it, you'd be fucked after two licks off the bathroom floor.

i dont like Aniseed flavours' date=' and although its alot more herby/a bit sweeter than Sambuca or After Shock, its still there, not good (i say with a half drunk bottle of the stuff in front of me)...[/quote']

Some of which - incidently - I threw up the other night! Except in afar more dignified manner than the aforementioned Ian. Well, apart from the pint glass I destroyed in the process.

I walked into my bathroom at 4am this morning to find that this fucker had not only spewed on himself, all over the bathroom and toilet but would also refuse to get up! So, as punishment, I took a few photos and here is one of them: (I do hope he never returns the favour when I'm wasted)

Unfortunatly you cannot see that he's covered himself in this picture. But trust me, he did. And has stank out my bathroom with it too. The fuck.

I got stuck in the box all night

Although a couple of people who shall remain nameless brought me a couple of drinks, which kept me pretty satisfied for the majority of the evening. Sitting alone when the bells went wasn't too fun, but the lovely Rass came upstairs and Happy New Yeared me. Which made my evening. That sounds a lot dirtier than just a hug and a "happy new year" doesn't it?

Onywhoo, glad everyone had an awesome night, you left us enough mess to show it!

Have to agree with the masses on this one. Myself hardcore mel and another wonderful chum of ours went to see it this evening. All though it was a good film it could have been waaay shorter and still been a good film. Someone earlier said the bit with the bugs was pointless - have to agree with you there. Seemed like it was constantly drilling in just exactly HOW MUCH peril they were in. Although that bit with the bugs - did anyone else think the things (I assume giant leeches) that came out of the water looked like giant penises with teeth?

Although good, it totally dragged when will Peter Jackson learn to just end a film?

Smooth all the way! Especially in a sandwich with white bread with raspberry jam....mmmmm

Holy shit, has it been 3 years?!

Don't know yet' date=' don't think it's been decided but it'll probably be around a fiver. We're open til 5am though.[/quote']

Oh just piss off. I hope Alan doesn't expect us to stay sober!

Have to agree with YouthGoneWild there, brilliant gig, they played really well and were rockin' out big style, had so much fun!

In the last episode of the first series, after Sawyer gets back on the boat with the rudder, you can see a boat in the backround! I'm sure nobody cares, but, yeah, a boat.
