So to clarify we are saying Saturday 6th December, 3pm at 'Pit' - yes?!? Let me know how that sounds for everyone.

ps got confused (easily done!!). Pitty Patt is 13th December so won't coincide with our meet-up, hope that's OK for everyone?

Sounds good to me

Though I got all confused over the date - I was thinking Saturday is the 8th not the 6th but it's in December not November ops:

I may have to go scope out the 'pit' before hand as I'm told by a friend that the corset quotient is high :eyebrows:

I'm going to Nottingham tomorrow book-buying in Waterstones for my library (I love my job buying fabby books...........with someone elses money!!!!) so will have a look-out for 'pit'. Not been before. Am sure won't be corset-ful on a saturday afternoon!!

The Pit & Pendulum, one entrance is Pelham Street (opposite the Bodega, where the Pitty Patt is held). Corset quotient is pretty high at night, not so much during daytime. Finding the toilets is much fun!

Can't be as much 'fun' as finding the toilets in a gay-bar in Nottingham I went to with my friend and her male gay pal. The toilets were 'helpfully' labelled 'slags' and 'bitches'!!!! We stood there for ages trying to work out if we were a slag or a bitch (as we sadly didn't know gay code and were too wimpish to ask!!!). I can't remember which we decided upon in the end but needless to say we made the wrong choice and caught lots of men with their trousers down!!! Ordinarily not a bad thing but under the circumstances not the greatest. Our gay male pal was NOT amused with us - ooops!!!!!! Mind you we had a great night out.

I bizarrely quite like the loos at the pit (as much as one can like a pub loo), I am slightly scared that the big spiky dangling chandelier thing by the Victoria St. entrance might fall down though.

On the gay bar theme the loos in @d2 used to take bloody ages to get into being a free-for all thing (dunno if they still are) with the non- performing /working drag queens reapplying a tonne of makeup in there.

Well, it's kinda similar - although they do tend to ruin the fun nowadays ... and that's all I'm saying!

Sometimes they can be fun - but go in at the wrong time and they freak me out no end!

I do wonder what kind of impression people are gaining of this place now ...

That's the Pit! The Pendulum is on the other side and I'd be much more worried if that thing fell ...

Think I might have to cross my legs for the afternoon!!!!

Can they be as good as the toilets in the bar of the now defunct national centre for popular music? Someone had the smart idea to put one of those scrolling LED text things above the urinals showing song lyrics. Now as most of you know aim is not high on the average male's talent list - especially in a pub toilet. Ermmmm I'll leave the (rather damp) effects of this added distraction to your sordid imaginations!

Y'know I thought you were going to say the LED thing gave a running commentary on the urinators, sort of like: GOT STAGE FRIGHT?...OOOH DEAR EVEN I'D BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT THAT...

*BUMP*!!!!

Next Saturday approaches fast and it'll be good to meet you all - and anyone else you can drag along
