    Re: Ashtons - still cool?

    I loved my night at Ashtons with Lucy Locket and Zebra Woman (and lots of other splendid people) Admittedly when you go somewhere for the first time there's sometimes added value through novelty but I genuinely had a great time. Doesn't help with the temperature question, I was impressed by the size of the fan though.

    You walk up to anyone you suspect of being one of the Ten and ask them "What is the coolest venue to go to?".

    Their answer will inevitably be: "Hey- wherever I'm going."

    Yeah, that's right, I'm plagiarising Terry Pratchett. Sue me.

    Precisely.

    Because Cool is not necessarily Hip(sters)

    Re: Ashtons - still cool?

    I am so tempted to draw up my list of The Ten suspects (otherwise known as The Cerocerati).

    It's actually quite tricky, because they have to be punters and not teachers, so their profile is necessarily low, that's why no-one knows who they are - it's like "See that girl there, I bet she's one."

    I suspect they work behind the scenes - more like the History Monks than the Monks of Cool, really.

    So, ZW is an obvious choice, but she's too high-profile. However, who knows, it might be her friend Miss Conduct, I've had my suspicions about her for a while, she's just a bit too perfect to be a mere mortal...

    Any other suggestions?

    Do "The Ten" know that they're part of The Ten?

    Unless you're so unhip it's a wonder your bum doesn't fall off, in which case:

    "You don't need to know the coolest venue"

    {waves hand}

    "These are not the dancers you're looking for"

    I'm plagiarising HHG2G and Star Wars. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

    Possibly not - they may have been hypnotized by The One...

    Not necessarily..

    *Wonders if it will be too geeky to admit to seeing that episode of the sci-fi series from which RK is quoting*
    Love dance, will travel

    Nope. Geeky would be to reply "But he appears in two episodes, damnit..."

    Oops...

    Well, I think we've clearly established that myself, RK and DavidY are neither Cool nor members of The Ten.

    So, that's three down, 399,997 to go...

    Perhaps you should think about opening your own place in attempt to catch them ... " if you build it, they will come"

    Maybe you should be looking further afield (pun intended)

    a lot of people like them. I fing them hard to dance to but ok to listen to while having a drink and watching the hyperactives wear themselves silly and leave the floor free for us for the rest of the evening.

    It's the The Corpse and The Groper Lucky Day !!!

    Ha Ha !

    Think i might just opt for a late appearance or sabotage of amp leads.. Bout time for a change of bands dont you think - if we have to have the live stuff. Anyway i am predicting they will be wearing the yellow suits, they will do a piano solo which will last enough time to go to the loo and back and a very long version of "I aint go no bady" should be enough time to nip off to Asda in Watford and back in time for the next song. ok i must stop before i say something not nice!

    I do not like live bands as they feel that they have to "improvise" on perfectly good original music and mess about with the tempo, words or even the tune (emm). Mind you i do not like anything that gets in the way of freestyle - classes, repeat cabarets etc. And i sometimes have to pay more to get in!

    We already have! But i say live and let live. They can have their band if it make them so bloody happy.(at least you have said something, otherwise they would come back at Christmas!) Give you a chance to have a dance with two favourite men as mentioned!
