TOUT London Weekly Poll
I have not relayed the weekly TimeOut London poll recently because the questions have been to esoteric and serious. But as i know Janis looks forward to this poll here's this week's - as usual any advice on how to cast my vote?
Readers' poll This Xmas we want to know: pop group Blur are set to re-form in 2008. Who or what would you like to see making a comeback? A) The Routemaster bus B) Smoking in pubs C) Hangings at Tyburn A really tough choice here - Routemasters still chug along a tourist route along the Thames north side so they can't really comeback - and as they seemingly pollute so much they are not PC Smoking in pubs - never want that so i guess it's C - Hanging at Tybrun as the least detrimental answer How would you vote? |
The Routemaster, converted to run on gas maybe?
|
Blur are making a come-back?!? How did I miss this gigantic news? Just the other day I was thinking about how great it would be if they got back together, and now I learn that my wish has come true...thanks Santa!
|
The only thing I would like to bring back - and just for this afternoon - is football holiganism in the N5 area.
|
I'll vote for the hangings but isn't Pierrepoint (or whatever his name was) dead? They'd have to train somebody. :)
|
<Blur are making a come-back?!? How did I miss this gigantic news?>
Yeh insiders in the music business, this is called the Dead Zep effect BTW never heard of the Blur - are they really or were they really a big group? Or is this another TOUT joke? I'm for public hangings of hooligans in N5 |
>>The Routemaster, converted to run on gas maybe?<<
Well, we could do the complete heritage experience with it, perhaps towing a gasbag on a trailer (no, I don't mean Boris, though the thought's tempting), a clippie on board with Bisto "stocking seams", anti-blast tape across the windows and blackout lighting, and cheerful Cockernee sorts rolling out the barrel all the way along the journey. On second thoughts, I think I'll walk. |
Patrick: The last time we did all that we ended up with a country full of yanks. Be careful what you wish for.
Overfed, overdressed and over here? |
And we won't come back till it's over, over there.

By the way, I see a gift book currently on sale is a reprint of the official handbook issued to US servicemen arriving in Britain in 1942 (and there's one for British servicemen going to Iraq about the same time) ......
|
I bought that book as a pressie it's great - the one about the french is even better. "no thay aren't unwashed peasants" is pretty much it.
|
CW - you know what your antiseptic statements caused not long ago...
be careful what you wish for raise a pint or two for me this Christmas in the pub |
I'd like trams back.
And the old tube posters - my favourite is the Man Ray rings of Saturn one. And Midnight Mint choc ices. |
Failing that, hangings.
I'd start with the teenage chav who walked into me (backwards!) yesterday on Regent Street and saw fit to call me a f******* c*** for daring to be behind him. |
>>>BTW never heard of the Blur - are they really or were they really a big group? Or is this another TOUT joke?<<<
I am reeling (reeling!) with shock. Blur were the most delicious group of the nineties. I guarantee you would recognize a few Blur songs if you heard them. Two former members have also had very sucessful post-Blur careers, and you would probably recognize a couple of their songs, too (from commercials if nothing else) |
Naw except for Nirvana all my music interests date from groups made popular in 60s 70s and early 80s
not much of merit after that - ABBA though was nice too. |
