What did you get up to on Easter Monday? Us? We launched our monthly DiScover club in Sheffield with Johnny Foreigner and Fury Of The Headteachers. It was fun.

Highlights included: lots of people playing SNES, not messing up the raffle, rewinding/scratching 'One Armed Scissor', drinking DiS cocktails, the bands (obviously) and pizza.

Lowlights: Mike Diver playing Lily Allen (I don’t remember playing that, although I don’t remember much – Ed), the next morning/afternoon.

Before we cut to the pictures, a massive thanks to The Harley for being so hospitable, the bands for playing, and YOU for turning up. If you did. Oh, and while we're at it here's the science bit for next month:

Monday April 21 2008 @ The Harley, Glossop Road, Sheffield

News on London's DiScover Club - March 29 and April 5, at the Notting Hill Arts Club - coming later today on DiS.


Hardly.

I whipped ass before attempting to play when very, very drunk... and even then I won a round.


^

this! although he is much better at dealing with hangovers than you, Rob. :-)


Can everyone lay off me, please?

Played twice, lost twice.
Not a good day for pool.
Come play me in my yard, though.
Cleveland Arms.
I'll take you apart.


you lost to me

now that is bad bad bad.


at sfII?

Yes, I recall that.
Bad form me.


yes sorry i should have said

although i beat someone at pool. so win win all round for me!
next time i expect more of a challenge...


you

cheated at sfII and basically you cheated at pool as well.

i prefer tekken


i did not.

don't spread these LIES.


and how did i cheat at pool?

just own up, basically me > you.


oh

we'll play again. and then we'll see who's >er that who won't we.
you had an advantage anyway. i couldn't get "i've got a semi-on" out of my head (still can't) and so i was distracted. end of.


I'VE GOT A SEMI ON

I'VE GOT A SEMI ON
I'VE GOT A SEMI ON
BECAUSE THERE IS A SEMI-ON

did you myspace him?


no

i was too scared.
you should do it.
heck you'll probably get a note and a kiss at the end of it as well.

yes i'm resentful x


In your defence

I did win by default, as you potted the black,although I did used to lose regularly to someone who lost at pool to a blind man once.


those

dis 'cocktails' made me completely forget about the SNES.

where the frig frog was it?

great night anyways, despite my ex boss completely forgetting who i was and asked my name. probably better that way.


...

When you went in the door, it was to the right.
Those cocktails = ouch.


I'm in love...

with that second JoFo photo! good work Gary - as usual!! :D


thinking about it properly

(not drunkenly), this was really good and well organised and stuff. well done everybody. yeah.

Is it going to be the same cocktail or are we getting a different one every month? My brain does not like DiSmeister.


thanks!

glad you had fun.

maybe we could vary the cocktail on a monthly basis. any suggestions?


can I add my thanks

for a great evening, which I really enjoyed. Good pics.
