If it doesn't have to be fully separated, the back of The Elgin, Ladbroke Grove is massive and GORGEOUS. It's a gin palace. They do have a room upstairs, but it's smaller.

Half-moon is reopening really soon

Tough to get, busy schedule.

Oh yeah, that's a better shout than upstairs! Derp...

That's all that's coming up off the top of my head.

Layout/stage might not be ideal. Used to be able to put one in but there's a fake vaulted ceiling that makes it a bit of a squeeze for headroom - if you aren't 6'+ or playing double bass, that might be less of an issue?

Upstairs at The Star Of Kings, York Way might be good. Perhaps a tab small?

The Princess Louise, Holborn could fit the bill bar stage, but it's a gorgeous pub.

You can get the whole of The Old Nick, Holborn on a Saturday for free with minimum spend. Leanne, the manager is great.

Both Occam's and Hanlan's Razors are having a hard time staying sharp these days.

I'm glad I didn't. It was a bit of a shithole, and not that cheap, and now I live by the river in a very historic area and I absolutely fucking love it!

I happen to know enough thanks to a certain Mr Davies that this rings absolutely true!

I nearly moved into an old fire station a couple of months ago that still has the pole. It is actually the oldest fire station in London!

Is that not because people keep telling us that it has "context" now?

I'm not convinced, but also I don't give a shit.

I'm sure that "reason" is 100% accurate too.

"Hey, farting cat, what excuse can I use for the fact you keep fucking up people's purchases?"

Then why am I not excited, Ed? Tell me, why am I not excited? 😭

Both of which were given to me, I might add...

I am possibly the only person in the world to have two Lego oscars.

Many years of TTRPGs taught me there are no good dice.

But there are DEFINITELY evil ones!

Approximately the same! Little bit later, probably.

Buggers my chance of getting an EU passport…

I absolutely do NOT want to watch someone's fucking video essay.

I will, however, happily read a long form essay.

I also don't want a shitty LLM fucking up a summary either.

Just give me a transcript, if it's that important.

From Karl fucking Marx to Stephen fucking Miller we have a certain amount of evidence that BEING Jewish doesn't stop you being a massive anti-Semite or an outright fascist, so, uhhh...

One of the sad things about AI is that badly drawn photoshop was so much funnier

There's a lot you can make from shopping carts and condoms if you are resourceful!

Maybe MCR should have focused on cooking food, not people.

I did see the spoons bit, hence the ref, and while Sheffield can supply non-wooden spoons, I can source enormous amounts of bone for whittling from the Thames.

I have no excuse, I haven't even had a pickleback...

If they could do that, they'd have done it years ago. They were always shit at shaping their ideas to begin with, let alone shaping them into code.

Anyway, don't get me started on "business analysts" either...
