Master Bates Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Couldn't find the pub section of the forum, so i'll stick this here. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4694513.City_comedy_club_to_close/
hamster Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Well, considering their prices for a christmas 'do' I am not surprised. Ridiculous in a recession. Only offer discounts Sunday to Thursday!!! £40 a ticket, and that's with out any food or drinks idiotic imo, they should have offered loads of deals and got bums on seats. When I asked for a discount for 40 people the girl on the phone laughed and said 'it's our busiest time of the year', who's laughing now sweetherat eh? Still the staff can all join the reported 90,000 in the queue to mis-deliver our christmas cards can't they. ;-)
Calvin Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 That's not even funny. Agreed. Not enough irony within the report!
GuttedAnt Posted 22 October, 2009 Posted 22 October, 2009 Not that bothered only that Jim Jeffries has had to cancel his Southampton date on his UK tour because of this.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 October, 2009 Posted 22 October, 2009 We went to the pub part on an afternoon in the summer with my 14-year-old brothers, my girlfriend and a few of our friends all in our 30's. Everyone was going to eat but they wouldn't let us because we had a 14 year old with us. It was around 4pm and it is not exactly the working mans club. What pub now a days doesn't let accompanied under 18's in for food in the middle of the afternoon?
Kadeem Hardison Posted 22 October, 2009 Posted 22 October, 2009 What pub now a days doesn't let accompanied under 18's in for food in the middle of the afternoon? Jongleurs in Southampton doesn't.

hamster Posted 22 October, 2009 Posted 22 October, 2009 Jongleurs is a joke. You really could not write this. LOL
bridge too far Posted 23 October, 2009 Posted 23 October, 2009 Hmmmm - the Oxford one is shutting too (if it hasn't already). It was to have been our office 'do' this Christmas. I'm relieved - I didn't really want to go but, new in post, didn't want to be thought of as a party pooper. So phew from me

Phew!
bridge too far Posted 23 October, 2009 Posted 23 October, 2009 They've booked a night down the dogs then off to a strip club instead. Phew! Errr why would a bunch of nurses want to go to a strip club? The dogs could be a flyer though
Scummer Posted 23 October, 2009 Posted 23 October, 2009 Errr why would a bunch of nurses want to go to a strip club? Most nurses are either lesbians or they swing both ways.
bridge too far Posted 23 October, 2009 Posted 23 October, 2009 Most nurses are either lesbians or they swing both ways. This is hidden code for "most nurses I've chatted up have sent me away with a flea in my ear - I will therefore tell everyone else they don't fancy me because they're gay in order to save face"

Slightly off topic, but I used to have a nurse live in the flat above me. She was the most religious person I've ever known. She used to scream 'oh god, oh god' at the top of her voice for at least half an hour every night.

benjii Posted 24 October, 2009 Posted 24 October, 2009 It was overpriced, dingy and the staff act like they're actually doing something important.
saint lard Posted 24 October, 2009 Posted 24 October, 2009 It was overpriced, dingy and the staff act like they're actually doing something important. The one at Gunwharf was no different when i last visited. Cost a fortune for a ticket,cost a fortune to drink,cost a fortune to eat. The 'comedians' were utterly terrible,plus i had to sit through gag after gag of so called jokes taking the **** out of Southampton in general. Most expensive crap night ever.IMO.
