You wouldn't let it lie...

Les lives in New Cross? Which pub? The bloke who played Mickey Pierce in Only Fools and Horse drinks in New Cross, and lives in New Cross for that matter. What a firmament of stars we have at the end of the East London Line.

Shouldn't that be 'fermenting', Mark?

The estate where my sister lives is still graced with some graffiti that made it into early incarnations of 'Vic Reeves Big Night Out'. Vic turned up at Goldsmiths without formally getting in, just grabbing himself some fine art studio space and mucking about until someone found out. He met Bob in the late, lamented Goldsmiths Tavern and their act was forged. The graffiti that surfaced reads 'Elliot Gould is a jerk' and 'Veal Meat Again' and can still be seen to this day. Fermenting indeed.

mickey pierce has i believe moved away and disappeared after some serious domestic strive (but i'm not one to goss..) i went to Les's fortieth birthday party a good few years ago at the Rivoli Ballrooms. were you there Microchrist? has anyone else experienced the sprung dancefloor at the Rivoli Ballrooms? it's brilliant.

Les was in the Goldsmith's tavern before it turned into the spritzer nightmare that it is now! Anyone remember the glory days of the Lager Daleks and the Brain of Morbius????

I do. GMT Lager Daleks, Friday Night Ska Night, the cat, the walk through toilet, the fact that beer was cheaper in one room than the other, bangin' acid techno, the rumour that it was going to close 'next week', the bouncer who looked like a member of ZZtop. New Cross, New Cross, so good they named it twice.

bless you. you love new cross so much..... new cross and deptford i drept of moving to it for 5 years. in my head i would drink in the taven every night. now iam here, i made it, and i wouldnt bloody want to drink in the taven now. i saw that bouncer take a knife of a bloke as he tryed to come in, then still told him he couldn't come in, even after he dug the knife into the top of the door frame. class... made me laugh wheres that graffiti?? i wanta go see it.

I love New Cross. Just thought i'd add that

good on ya! we all do

Always wanted to live there but too expensive for me.

new cross really?? when i was lookin for somewhere to move to in london i looked at a couple of rooms in new cross but the people were odd. so i got my dear room in deptford instead. :-) and i love it

well everywhere except merton is too expensive

That grafitti is plastered on the various walls in the back streets of Deptford... Behind that awful stage school where years ago and when it was known as SELS, I was a pupil! I'm in a New Cross state of mind... Shabba daahhhh dooooooooo...

i dont know it was expensive i suppose its coz i dont live in new cross houses, plus goldsmiths is there, and that would put prices up. iam sure mark has shown me it before but i cant remember. maybe i should just have a wander around my estate.

Cross the road by Wavelengths and walk directly through the old and dull estate... Wander to the other side and look lovingly at the walls... Also making note that it used to say "Love over gold" there and some dimbo with a guitar was inspired by those words...

ahhh thats my estate. live on the end, next to the wild life thing. i know what iam doin on wed.

I did. Its lying down right now.

the walk through toilet! you had to walk through the gents to get to the ladies, or hold it in..only did it once,hmmm...not very nice

god i havnt heard that in years!!!

I don't know about you, but it lies to me all the time. And I let it.

So, we have a Lager Daleks enclave here! Any happy memories of Jenny the geriatric punk? I have two but I am not going reveal them yet... Oh, hang on, there's a third but it's an apocryphal tale and maybe libellous... I spent almost all of the 1990s in that boozer and it breaks this old heart to see what they have done to it!!!

This message has been used elsewhere in these forums but it's relevant here as well as in the other position that it occupies... So Ladies and Gentlemen, the proud return of the MESSAGE!!!! I once went to see "Les" after he went solo or to put it another way, he was chucked off of the Vic Reeves gravy train. it was absolutely abysmal rubbish featuring a third rate version of Novelty Island and some bloke called Barry with his bucket. I spoke with him a few times in a pub in New Cross... A bitter man!
