Aspisistra & Hatstand open despite the weather
Posted by James Blast on 3 December 2010 - 6:44pm.
Usurping el hombre malo's spot as MC tonight I'll get the discotheque going and blow away those bad weather blues. We've had a hard week folks, let's get down with our bad selves!

Seeing as El Hombre's left you in charge, James
Any chance of a BOGOF offer on the drinks tonight?
Here's a nice little uptempo number to attract some lively punters.
be churlish not to
what's yer poison?
As it's so cold and wintry,
tonight James, I will be mostly drinking Mojitos.
By the way - I like the name change for the pub. But why didn't you go the whole hog and make it the Aspisistras Of Mercy?
Drat!
I was being subtle, woman!
usually known as a typing error
Sabotage (Making Of)
They sure had a lot of fun.
Coooool...
Cheers D'girl, one of my favourites.
Here's one from me
Just popping in for a swift Whisky Mac on my way home
but I'll be back for 'some beer' later
I'll have a rusty nail please
and one of the best songs ever recorded
Top Draw Jimmy..
Can anybody hear early La's in there? Got to have been an influence on Mr Mavers.
Just in case you have any doubts..
Sorry forgot...
It's a lovely mellow 8.2% Westons Vintage Cider for me.
A couple chillin' in the fridge and already starting to wonder who the f**k the cat thinks she is!!
Yes
And my one opportunity to say I rubbed shoulders with minor pop gentry.
1992. Villiers Hall Ball (University of Leicester). Drink may have been taken. I may have gotten on the stage when they were playing. It may have ended badly with me misjudging the depth of the stage.
But I don't care. I WAS ON STAGE WITH THE LAS!
E.H.M.
usually gets the Little Richard in early - so I'd feel more at home with this:
No work tonight so to salute the WC bid victors I'll have a Black Russian please
A cold drink for a cold day
In fact, I want two.
I'm pissed off because I was supposed to go see Steve Forbert tonight in Kinross and I can't make it because of this feckin' weather.
Here he is covering an old song round about 1980 --
Oh yeah....Laphroaig with 2 lumps of ice and a 1/2 pint Guinness.
One for yerself good sir....and send one through to Big Si. At least I assume that's his camel-dung reek I can smell coming from the smoker.
he's workin'
come the morn, he only smokes when he's gote a bevvy, I on the other hand am still trying to master smoking in my sleep
Two fingers to being cool
Let's have some of this.
I'm drinking Carling. I know, I know, but it's all our little shop has and I'm buggered if I'm rallying it to Tesco.
I'll have a Snowball
and a Christmas tune, where can I hang my cape?
Bravo!
Excellent choice fellow Hawkins-appreciator.
always makes me smile, because
I can't help thinking of one of my work colleagues who would literally cry with laughter every time she heard this song
Booze
A pint of Best and and this on the jukebox
Graham Coxon - Bittersweet Bundle of Misery
Thank F**k Its Friday
Great...
tune.
I'll have a....
Murphy's and may I add a tune that always cheers me up on miserable days!
Excellent choice sir!
I think you'd have to search far and wide to find a better combination of 'bowing out' song and 'new beginning' song as Speak Like a Child following on from this:
I'd further contend that these three 'statements of intent' are unbeatable:
The Jam: In the City
The Style Council: Speak Like a Child
Paul Weller: Into Tomorrow
Life affirming, all three.
Now, where did I put my white 501s and tasselled loafers...
U trying to resurrect the Weller v Moz thread?
Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me -> Suedehead.
But then I would say that, like Mozzer I have no kids.
(could be the booze talking...)
Booze talking with me as well
but that doesn't hide the fact that I am, incontrovertibly, correct ;-)
Wottabout
Holidays In The Sun -> Public Image?
Let's carry this on outside...
well at least here
I'll have a JD & Coke
And a nice little pop ditty
JD...
Joy Division?
aha
the bar's still open...
mine is a Green Goblin cider if I may...
and on the jukebox, some old school Mr Z.
much obliged good sirs and gentlewomen
Another three Mojitos
and I'll be anything but gentle.
promise?
A little early for a drink here
aw fuck it - I'll take the coldest bottle of beer you got. Singha if you have it. And can I get some Black Keys to go with that? No can post too good from this iPad thingster. Be much obliged.
"Can I get"
can I get?
didn't someone outlaw that sort of chittle chattle on here?
Anyhoos, am aff tae ma fart chariot, run the bar and decks yirsel.
I will leave you all with this smootcherama...
'pologies

Anyway- where's me bleedin' Black Keys eh? Jeez - want a job doin propah- do it yer bleedin' self - kno wot I mean?
Black Keys "Tighten Up"
One Singha one song...
:-)
Same again barman..
barman?
Barman??
BARMAN!!!!!
Looks like he's buggered off folks.
Let's help ourselves...
Heck, he's emptied the till, taken all the fags from the machine, substituted all the booze bottles with coloured water and stolen all the records from the jukebox.....
....no, no, he's left The Jam, Style Council and Morrisey ones behind.
El Hombre Malo is going to be raging!
Dr. Horse...
just the ticket.
I'll have to give it a miss, sorry.
Had the wicked tom-tits today and feel like a wrung-out dishcloth. Tell you what, though, if you've got any spare corks knocking around.
Blimey, is that the time?
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here...
One more for the road
Hope the kids have gone to bed, time for some glam punk:
*sweeps up, whistling*
I'm sure that there should be more in the till than a handwritten note that says "No float, cashed up. 27/6. And Oblige, James Blast".
It is entirely possible that out of the goodness of his heart, Mr Blast has removed the entire stock of drink to a safe place.
Right, I'll get this place mopped up, swept out, and I'll get the Christmas decorations up for next Friday.
Yes, everyone, there will be mistletoe. And may God have mercy on your souls.
In the meantime, this place is closed.
Mistletoe
that sounds good - but even after all vem birds wot Drakey and Col H rounded up - you'll still find more girl action at the famed Taliban Tuesday night at Kabul's swinging dive The Dry Madrassa.
Are we having
an Abba night?
you bet
because the winner takes it all...
