Work do last night

[flammableBen]

I went to Suju's opening night. I was the only person there. Was about a year ago, they opened earlier than they were planning to get some pre-xmas cash in I think.

It's not really new anyway as it's pretty much the same as Soda.

Everytime i have been in there it's been 1 or 2 other people. Even when my band played there as well.

Has your band played at the Old Nick in Bassett? We had a band Xmas pint in there last Friday and fucking hell - a chav war-zone!!!

Nope not played Bassett at all. I wonder why  

[Simon Pieman]

It's because they get better bands like Wheatus to play there, then they realise that the venue is too small.

Dont blame you

I remember soda being shite thats about it.

   When it was Vadim's (late 70's early 80's)  it was decent, you had to be a member and there weren't many late drinking venues in Swindon.   Decor and stuff was a bit naff, and it was small, but you got a good crowd up for it.  Someone always seemed to know of a party to go to somewhere within a 20 mile radius of Swindon.

As much as I love you Reg, I have to say I was a twinkle in my fathers eye (late 70's early 80's)

  A very bright shiny twinkle though  

   Whatever its called though, its essentially the same place, which has managed to be a source of pleasure to several generations,  despite the changing of social trends.  I like that sort of continuity.

  When it changed from Vadim's,  someone from the old punters tried to burn it down, as the new owners wanted  to make it a bit trendier and banned all the old regulars.

I don't finish work till 8 on Friday, but there's sod all work around at the moment so I might get out earlier.

[Jamiesfuturewife]

a "little miss Chav" T shirt - with a chavy little miss on it
some fake over the knee Burberry socks
and a chavvy Christmas badge!

lush!

I also got a lovely wallscrole from the local chinese restauraunt (my nickname at work is ting tong!)

[sonic youth]

[Simon Pieman]

Chazlene is a chav, she's just advertising it a lot more now

[Jamiesfuturewife]
