A waste of a good restaurant and club.

Bloody hell, i was at the liquid rooms on wednesday as well to, guess i won't be going back any time soon then.

Anyone have any idea to the extent of the damage, guessing it's pretty much a gonner going by the pictures

[Mr Trophy]

Bloody hell, I was in Khushi's just last week!

I don't like the way you said that. I used to go clubbing in there. How many years ago are we talking?

I'm worried now.


Insurance job here aswell then you think?

'kin ell, I was in the Liquid Rooms last week too. Was going to have a word with the management about residential gig photography. I was out in town last night too, although at Old St Pauls down beneath North Bridge. Had no idea anything was up.

There was a bad flat fire just a few doors up from me on Balfour St last week too. Wonder if there's a firebug.

Great venue, I remember going to see Fish there years ago, they were re-selling tickets at the door, way more people than should have been in there, great though!

As for Hue and Cry, new album just out, first track (And set to be the comeback single).....Fireball

the shack wasnt an insurance job, the fire started in the club that was in the basement, I forget what it was called but it was crap. The fire started, was put out by the firebrigade and then restarted all on its own... I have a brick from the wall of the shack in my shed actually.

Was is Trash that was under the Shack?

As recession turns in depression we are going to see a few more fires as flaky business owners take the only profitable way out ... no reference to this weekend's spate ... of course.

LA, you over for a beer on the 15th of Jan?

Even if he is, he'll deny it. He likes his faux mystique

Get yer arse to the pub, old man

[Famous Graham]

Well do the next best thing, then. Go to the King's Head on Santa Monica & 2nd and apologise for my exhibitionist behaviour with a kilt during the karaoke a couple of months ago

[Famous Graham]

It was a weegie's fault. Bumped into him in the hostel I was staying at on 2nd (opposite the SMPD, above which my uninsured car resided for a month ) - with my kilt and his accent, the plan was hatched to do "500 Miles". Little did I know, the git had an ulterior motive - refused to hand back the mic and asked the crowd if they wanted to know what a Scotsman wore under his kilt. I was too inebriated to twig in time, et voila...

Angus was his name, as I recall. A pro-skateboarder, so he said.

I went back the next day and apologised

Actually, between the King's Head, Britannia, Yankee Doodles and the Criterion, I'd love to go back there.

A pub crawler who crawled back and apologised!

Well, it was the only place I could meet washed-up ex-Beach Boys and random coconut wood importers who'd just got off a murder charge.

I don't need to tell you what the place is like

[Famous Graham]

Another thing I love about that town, is that anyone else would think I was exaggerating for effect
