    Yep. Wouldn't be a nice time to lose your job. It's a great pub that needs a proper owner ASAP. They'll have to step down a bit from their 850k asking price though.

    The Three Shippes is now being run by the bank.

    I'd advice people to boycott the place tbh.

    Why would you boycott it cause the banks own it?? Makes no sence....then the few jobs that are left in there will be lost when everyone "boycott's" the place!

    Clever thinking alright!:rolleyes:

    They've already sacked people. This is not a factory of hundreds we're talking about here.

    The bar was family run...the banks have now come in with their own people.

    The same bank that has refused a number of decent offers for the premises. The same bank that came in and offloaded the ex owners. Just in time for Christmas.

    But you and your rolly eyes know it all.

    Yipp i do.........:rolleyes: Is there not people employed and working down there?? Yes! That counts as employment! Its more employment than if the banks close the premises! Well if the owners werent paying the mortgage why should the banks leave them keep something that is not being paid for? If i didnt pay for my house i would loose it.....fact of life!

    Gingerman? Nope. They looked at it. But, rightfully, wouldn't pay the asking price. As I've said already, the receivers are in there now.

    If its owned by a bank the bank is probably owned by the state which means we own it :)

    Was out in Crystal last week and it seemed to have a good crowd. Have they closed off an area upstairs? I was pretty certain there was a lounge type area with couches and a bar when I was there last. Felt too real to have imagined it!

    I think I'm pretty much consigned to the forum for the next week or so as a lot of my friends are going there but is there anything else worthwhile on around the City that I might be able to use to tempt them to go somewhere else?

    It's a shame the Three Shippes is with the receivers. Pat McGuinness was a nice chap and it was family run with his wife.

    Was out last night with the lads in the Tap Room and it was packed. I went down town and there was a good band in Masons (only went in out of curiosity as I haven't been home since August). Good night but most of the workers were finishing up in the factories so that would explain it I suppose.

    Town hasn't changed at all.

    Saw one hell of a scrap on my way out of work tonight, the victor was actually doing a little stroll of honour with his top off and arms raised cheering himself!

    Honestly it was like he had just won a world title :)

    I'm all for ideas like this, but as musicman says...it might be in vein.

    When I worked in the nightlife industry, I wanted to create something similar to what Flash has now in The Mojo Lounge, but I wanted it to be done in a different way. More like an underground spot...a jewel in the nile for people that were willing to pay normal prices for a drink in a nice atmosphere. I hope the mojo lounge works cause I like Flash and I like his willingness to try new things. (not sure he much likes me anymore though lol)

    I think the music (80s music) is inappropriate for a cocktail bar, and not in keeping with the word mojo.

    Headed to the toilets in the forum around half 1. One of the two stalls was out of order, so there were two lads attempting to take a **** in the urinals.

    Very hard to maintain a music policy in this town (unless you're running a house night)

    When I heard the name 'mojo lounge' I had a vision of a place where you can seduce women (a bit like the bar in Crazy, Stupid, Love). The bar is laid out well for that, with comfy seats, and candles on tables. For me that's the meaning of Mojo.

    But if I were to bring a woman there I wouldn't be able to talk to her, let alone dazzle her with my wit and charm. I think Mr. Flash should take a look at some of the other cocktail bars in the country, and imitate them.

    Mojo is trying to be two things at once, an 80s bar and a cocktail bar, but I think the two cancel each other out. The 80s were probably the least sexy decade of the 20th century.

    It's not a good name tbh. However, they have made an effort in there by all accounts and that has to be respected. Maybe he'll tweek it in the new year

    I should point out that its not soley 80's music played, its retro so there is are plenty of songs from the 60's and 70's also.

    The having a look at other cocktail bars/lounge bars in the country is something to take on board alright

    When I was in there it was all Pet Shop Boys and so on, so we skedaddled out of there fairly quickly. It could work well I think if they had some 60s music such as the 'Girl from Ipanema' and so on. Maybe I should give it another go.
