Lots of people have been asking me if they should bring anything for the BBQ and I think
the easiest option is if I buy everything and I'll just pop a box out if anyone want to
donate anything towards it (If you're short of cash please don't donate anything, I'm more
than happy to cover the costs).

On the Sunday I've been told that the Dr. Who Exhibition is on and it's about 30 seconds walk
from the hostel. So if people want something to do the next day I know there's
a few people going.

If you want to bring laptops etc there is wiffy and lockers in all dorms so that you can lock them away from the other thieving b3tards.

- Can we get the function room of O'Neills?
- What is the Chav factor of that pub?
- "EARL'S COURT"??? (No idea, just copying everyone else)
( Dixon last night a DJ raped my wife with his dong, Wed 27 Feb 2008, 14:29, Reply)

Yays most certainly sir!
No Chavs, last non post pub in Earls Court. I'll ask about the function room as I know some of the bar staff. If we get enough people it should be OK.

It'll be 100% better if you can though.
( Captain Wow feed your head, Wed 27 Feb 2008, 14:48, Reply)

The manager told the barmaid not to serve us our last round (I should say this was yonks ago)
(after we'd spent well over £100 of course).
When I asked him why he said to me 'Let's just say I don't like the look of your jewellery'.
I was wearing the usual nancy attire of the time, those stainless hoop things with the ball.
I complained to Bass Taverns as they run Compton's in Soho too. They sent me a rugby shirt.

See my story up there^^
Admittedly this was a few years ago, however my experience of O'Neills pubs is they're a bit minging.
And they don't sell real ale.
( Geoff the Clownfish - "Zut Alors, Je suis nud!!", Wed 27 Feb 2008, 15:04, Reply)

They don't that's true.
But the whole place has changed. New manager and fantastic staff.
It now has the reputation as the last unpretencious pubs on Earls Court Road.
It's be great if you'd forgive them, as it wouldn't be the same without ya!
