The book
I can’t help feeling that, if I’d just got a tiny bit more sleep this week, I could actually be over my cold now. True, I feel better than I did last weekend, but I know it’s just a matter of time before another illness is going to stroll in through the revolving door, while my immune system stands by, picking its nose and reading the

Although i haven't been to the Dev THAT often, i really like it the way it was and am really shocked to hear what you've just written. EEk.
Yeah, there's a lot more gothy stuff in Germany, i guess that's kind of to be expected because there are a lot more Goths. But still.

Also love the new episode of The Boosh even if i did have to watch it on Youtube!!!

Well yeah, that's what it's all about unfortunately, demographics and profit margins. That and property prices/wages/overheads in most parts of Germany are lower than here.

I wonder if, when the next government census is due, people would put 'goth' as their religion? Maybe that way we could get funding to build a permanant temple? No, wait, that would probably be awful!

hi - i just noticed your comment - you can watch it on here:

if realplayer actually works on your computer (doesn't work on mine!!!) it's also on youtube already! :)

I think the next episode's already watchable on the BBC site too, but I'd rather wait for next Thursday and see it on a proper-sized screen.

bollocks. Will they stop taking away the few decent places in London? :(

One would hope so. However, I think the laws of economics dictate the city will eventually be one gigantic sports lounge for tourists with a 'How Well Do You Know teh Crown Jewels' quiz machine.

I think we need somebody to come along and open up their home as an unlicensed speak-easy-type alternative pub, complete with a little sliding shutter on the door to see who's outside. It would probably be a horrible disaster from the start, but might at least be good for the plot of a mediocre comedy film.

Oh great another good pub is now ruined for all time. I now defiantly want to win the lottery so I can open up a goth pub/club.

[void150]

Please do!!!

(looks hopeful)

[tinker_goth]

i am pretty damn shocked! but come on, if thew same people keep going it cant change too much... i hope...

[fireblade__]

The same people could keep going but if the music changes too much then the whole feel of the place will change and then the same people would stop going.

[void150]

Yeah, I hope too!

Admittedly, all the information I wrote above has so far come out of other people's Livejournals; I've not been in the Dev in person since last week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is all just an elaborate game of LJ Chinese whispers! I did try devcamden.co.uk earlier, but their server couldn't cope with the high volume of traffic.

Mark could be right though. There aren't any other such well-established alt pubs in Camden, but if the music changes then inevitably some of the crowd will too and I just hope my own circle of friends stay the course!
