Somewhere Else

[drplokta]

Most people seem to be voting for "Somewhere Else" in the PNN poll mentioned in my last entry. So, taking advantage of LJ's better polls:

[Poll #230734]

Dr P your response makes no sense? The Jubilee is one of the options in that poll wot you created?

[hawkida.livejournal.com]

Presumably he voted so he can click through to the answers easily in future?

I'm not voting on any of it since I am never there these days. Besides, I have no idea what or where The Windmill is.

The only time I've heard of the Windmill is last night - the next Worldcon opn meeting is being held there, iirc. It's near TCR/ Googe Street.

Not quite. On Mill Street off Conduit Street off Regent Street, so probably nearest to Oxford Circus.

I'd not heard of it before last night either.

Sorry - I stand corrected. Was going off a vague memory from a quick look at the flier, which I don't seem to have a copy of even though I thought I'd picked one up...

It turns out that you don't need to type anything -- you can just click "Submit". (I only learned about this trick this week, myself.)

Yeah, that works once. If you want to *keep* checking progress of the poll then if you have already voted it's one step closer.

The pnn poll was based on Mr Newman's suggestions.

[adela-terrell.livejournal.com]

and Mr Newman was pointing out that the numbers have dwindled so much, the Jubilee would no longer be too small

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

I suspect that if we went back to the Jubilee then more people would come back, though...

Is the Jubilee still ostensibly a gay pub though?
(struggles manfully not to quote Electric Six lyrics...)
They might not want a whole shedload of straights turning up?
I seem to remember this being an argument against the Jub. last time.
Also they were a bit lacking on the Proper Beer front the last time. I seem to remember reverendjim coming up with the idea of a Campaign for Queer Ale - people shouldn't have to drink crap lager or alcopops just because they were gay.

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's that problem too. It is still a gay pub.
