Quote: AJGO @ May 15 2012, 9:01 PM BSTHeh, I actually know of a pub like that that still exists, but it's one of those pubs that if you end up in you're not leaving for a few days. I'm too old for that level of commitment. And a gangster might kill me if I hogged the piano with my zero ability, and I would deserve it.
Except you previously said all your local pubs were trendy gastro pubs.
So I assume by gangster you mean a disaproving stare from an interior designer.

Aw, those pubs really exist? It warms me cockles, so it does.

That was a North London complaint, I'm talking about an East London pub.
I was in a North London pub the other day and someone smashed a glass and not a single person went 'wheay'. F**king disgraceful.

Um. How to fix...
Knees up Mother Brown! And so on.

What is happening to this place?
Aw, you guys. I feel so at home again.
All together now, 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner...'
No? 
I'm going North London pub to secretly seethe at the wallpaper that has been put up within The Last Decade then
Quote: AJGO @ May 15 2012, 8:11 PM BSTI am procrastinating so much that I've started to try to learn what the left hand does in Fur Elise. It's pissing me right off. I'm hoping if I get pissed off enough I'll do the work I'm meant to be doing. Or I might just go to the pub.
Well it basically provides some of the melody. It's not some sort of boogie woogie hand flapping accompaniment!!

Everything is a boogie woogie hand flapping accompaniment once I'm done with it.
Had a lovely time at the pub, got someone to sing 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' with me, might be able to borrow someone's sax if I'm nice enough to them (not in a prozzie way. I hope), and reckon I can get someone else to teach me the left hand bit of Fur Elise. A much more productive evening than if I'd just tried to work. Although brain was working on it while I was distracted and have come back with a much clearer idea of what needs to be done. Huzzah for the Great British Pub
Metrocentrics !
Aw.
I think you might live in a sitcom.
This f**king advert for Malaysia. It's taken over my brain and even if I wake in the middle of the night, it plays in my head. I HATE it!
