Yeah, I only heard the last couple of minutes of the interview and was going on what they said and the vocabulary they used. I’m sure, like all of their stuff, it’s very impressive (as we have established it’s passes me by, but that’s just personal taste), but any one referring to their own work as ‘fine art’ and all asserting that it will change the viewers life has self awareness issues in my view…… Are they defunct as a music making unit now?
Feeling Christmassy yet? This was our meet before last night's game - The Churchill in Kensington Church Street.
When did they start doing this? Used to go there, not very often and usually for the Thai curry as well as a pint, in the early nineties when I worked in Palace Court over the road. Never really warmed to it as a boozer for some reason, and there’s quite a lot of choice around there. Green in one sense but defiantly not in many. Is it true you can see the pub from space?
I've known them to do this for the last few years, not sure when it started. It's an odd kind of pub, but I rather like it. Excellent Guinness and very good Thai food. It's a handy meet for Rangers games, though - five minutes from the Central line at Notting Hill Gate. We left at 7.15 and got to our seats just in time for kick-off.
It must have been one of the first pubs to do Thai food, and as you say, it was/is very good. Did you see my Naked wines post on the food thread? Deeply impressed with the Christmas crate.
Good docufilm* on Nutfux about Cloughie’s Nottingham Forest winning the European Cup for the first time. Some of the old pros come across as nice blokes, particularly Ian Bowyer and Larry Lloyd. A decent watch. (*sorry, I hate these contrived portmanteau words - I must come across as a massive twanker)
They started doing it in 1991, only eight trees then. I think they now use eighty seven and it takes three weeks to set up. I like the pub and I like their Christmas lights. I used to love driving past and going in there. ( Not both at the same time. )
There's three, The Old Swan up on the right near Notting Hill Gate. The Churchill Arms on the corner of Campden Street and the Prince of Wales which is a tiny little pub close to the junction with Kensington High Street.
I remember the ones on church st Just don't remember any on the actual khs I think sticky fingers served beer
The Sticky Fingers, I think was owned by Bill Wyman and maybe someone else. It was a Ribs restaurant. I don't know of a pub with a Henry in the name in the area. The only pub I know on Kensington High Street is The Goat Tavern opposite The Royal Garden Hotel near Kensington Gardens.
When I lived in Fulham, we used to do a pub crawl from Sloane Square back to Fulham along the Kings Road. There was seventeen pubs en-route, half a pint in each pub back to The Durrell Arms ( our home address ) happy days. Circa mid '80's.
