Suggs, thrice no less

In 2003, I ran into Suggs on three separate occasion in the space of a single week. I'd never seen him previously, and I've never seen him since. I just shared that with the lads at the end of the bar downstairs. So I thought I'd share it with you.

I've come upstairs to the flat for a piss so I've stopped by the computer to post on the blog, you see. I'm on the Landlord tonight. It's orgasmatastic. The stars of Keighley and Clerkenwell are in alignment.

Do you not have a loo downstairs for patrons and yourself to use?

If you had the choice between using a pub urinal (albeit one that's a beautifully decorated and maintained) and your own personal bathroom, which would you choose?

Have you informed Reuters about this? I think they should be told.

As one of the lads at the end of the bar with whom this "news" was shared, I am happy to confirm that the Landlord was indeed orgasmatastic (I make no admissions as to the orgasmatasticity of the landlord, however).

It's really heartening to read of a landlord actually going on the batter occasionally.
And on Landlord especially.
It was my old dad's favourite bevvy and we got a barrel in at his wake.
I've never ever had a bad pint of it.

Its would have to be No 1s downstairs and No 2s upstairs, otherwise valuable drinking time is easily lost...

Suggs? Pretty cool but can you beat Buster Bloodvessel.

If we're into name-dropping is there anyone here who can beat taking a dump in Yoko Ono's bidet ?

Interesting. I started working near Soho just over a year ago, and in a single week last autumn I saw Suggs twice - once he was outside The Toucan (the Guinness pub near Soho Square) and the other time outside Bar Italia. Like you I'd never seen him before or since. Perhaps his hobby is to stalk random strangers for a week at a time?
