A CAUSE TO CELEBRATE??

Current mood: SAVE PAUL GIOVANNI!!!
Category: SAVE PAUL GIOVANNI!!! Movies, TV, Celebrities

Regular readers may perhaps remember my blog of a few days ago, about the supossed threat to The George Tavern here in East London...

Yes boss, basically there's a squalid, deathly smelling nightclub, which is sat nextdoor to this pub, and a developer has bought this nightclub and wants to knock it down and build flats upon it's ashes...

GOOD IDEA!!! I hear you shout...

NO!!!

The pub is concerned that ths close proximity of these flats might make it hard for them to have anymore big whoopsies of an evening, and so they're objecting to the change...


So, after that blog, I exchanged a few emails with someone called Rebecca (sorry, Deborah) at the pub and in all fairness she dealt with me exceptionally well.

Yes boss, rather than screaming hell fire, and rising to my loose jibes (as have others), she simply invited me to go and drink there, then, when my emails got boring and indulgent - stopped replying...

GOOD STRATEGY!!!


Well, outplayed, but still unconviced the pub was worth a visit, and unsure as to whether i really gave a fuck either way, I forgot about the whole affair until i read a copy of yesterdays Evening Standard..

Yes boss, as I browsed this lowest quality newspaper, looking in vain for something of worth to read, I found a full page 3 feature on the threat to The George Pub....

And guess who the newest pop culture icon to come out as being against the vicious destruction of Stepney Nightclub is???

Yes boss, it turns out that one of this pubs commnuity services is that age old East London tradition the fashion shoot, and whilst on one such shoot a few days ago, Kate Moss adorned one of the sacred T-shirts in protest!!


Well, at a loss as to where to go with this piece (and my campaign against their campaign, in general) I've just asked Mrs Giovanni whether the pub should be saved or not...

Yes boss, when I run out of ideas and bloat up my goat, I tend to consult Mrs Giovanni for advice...

So, as I proudly rocked back and forth in my chair like one of those stupid fat fucking weebors, I explained the sceanrio in full.

Mrs G stirred the Risotto with that dreamy look in her Italian 'I'm cooking' eyes, took a fraction of a moments pause to think, and suggested the following...

Forget the objections and the fashionista campaign. If the flats are built, simply paint the following slogan in 10ft high letters down the flatward side of the pub...

THIS IS A PUB!!!
WE LIKE TO PARTY!!! DON'T FUCKING WELL MOVE HERE IF YOU DON'T FUCKING WELL LIKE IT!!!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

Well, it's clearly a great idea - but is it art????

If you want to help save The George Tavern, you can buy a T-shirt or send them a rose by going here....

	The George Tavern	Paul My name is Deborah not Rebecca I think you and the Mrs should come down -- I like her style Kind regards George xxx Posted by The George Tavern on Friday, February 01, 2008 at 12:07 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Do excuse me misnaming you...( As for your kind invite... Yes, I still might make it down, but I don't think it would be good for Mrs Giovanni - I'm concerned she might get ideas way above her station... Yes Deborah, Mrs G is far more talented than I am - which is exactly why I keep her indoors on a very short lead, far and away from empowered arty women such as yourself... I mean it's bad enough as it is now. The other day she strayed from her jobs and tried to start a painting....?!? "KITCHEN!!!!!" I YELLED AT HER, MANFULLY! "Yes Mr Giovanni, sorry Mr Giovanni, very good Mr Giovanni, dinner'll soon be ready Mr Giovanni..." she replied meekly... "THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!...Now what shall I write in my blog today??"

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	(PS) If I come down, can I have one of those photo's with you done??? Moss, Timberlake, Winehouse, Selfish Cunt, Giovanni.... It has a certain ring to it don't you think???? Posted by : THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI : on Friday, February 01, 2008 at 13:14 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	(not a groupie)	28 pounds (for i do not have the curvy-L key) or about 14 dubya dollars for a shirt for a pub that may no longer be there by the time air mail delivers the goods - well, at least i considered it ... and shall now return to reviewing local music. g'day.

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I didn't look at the prices... Is that £28 for a t-shirt?? That'll be $56 Dubya dollars not $14.... You see how hard life is in this city?????? GODAMMITT!! You walk out of the door and the money drips from your pocket.... Anyway, to buy one of these, you'd better manage those local bands, take 40% of all earnings and put it on a horse...
