Fibbers\Bruxelles

Jellah_bean

must say bruxelles its much classier and the crowd is so much more mature not just in age but the gob****e factor as well.

bruxelle is 3.50 for drinks before 9, friday and saturday night and before 11 everyother night.

jukebox is much better in bruxelles if your into metal (european metal which is nowhere to be scene in fibbers.)

well "the scene" is dead .....closed down due to losses from major toms.....afaik......now the scene really is dead lol:pac::pac: a shame, agnostic front were class and there was a good vibe going....bruxelles might be classier but they still can't get the smell of sewage out of the rock bar, some toilets reach down to the bowels of hell itself haha

aye - if you go in to the bar, there is usually a flyer around that tells you the prices.

Plus other bonus is the amount of decent DVDs that are playing in the background too - from cheesy horrors to music (although the sound does get cut off if someone puts stuff on the jukebox)

Guaranteed half of the people in this thread talking smack about Fibbers still drink there on a regular basis, it's what the Fibbers punters do.

"Nah, fcuk that man, I'm sick of the place" - Same person is the one buying the first round that Thursday.

I fondly refer to it as "Eastenders : The Pub", I've never seen such drama before. And part of me finds it kind of entertaining.

Also, just for the record... I'm sure he's here...

Helmet, you are the fcuking worst DJ I've ever had the misfortune of listening to. I'm sorry if requesting something along the lines of The Cure or Siouxsie & The Banshees might possibly get in the way of you playing Closer by NIN for the 15th time that night, but there's absolutely no call for the dirty looks mate. Cop on.

This i will agree with!

However I would be one of those who "talk smack" about fibbers, and have vowed never to set foot in the place again

That Charisma DJ was the best in Fibbers - first one to play Closer too. The rest are all imitators.

I don't even have a problem with the tunes he does play, it's to be expected in a rock bar. It's the poncy attitude he displays towards anyone requesting a song who isn't a regular on the dancefloor that gets to me.

Blah etc.

Was in Fibbers one night when a girl asked me what I was doing there! I was like wtf! She told me to "make up my mind" about what I am and that I looked like an emo kid who had forgotten to grow up and I was "trying too hard" to wear high street!

I told her I actually work in River Island and am paid to wear their clothes but thanks for her concern! She then asked me for a discount! :rolleyes:

What is the deal with these feckin' morons? I'm in Fibbers because I like the music, I'm not here to show off whatever dress I just bought in Asha ("because, I'm loike, so individual, lol":rolleyes:)

I actually would have laughed in her face, the muppet.

i can see why you'd say this, he's a friend of mine (i dont think he posts here) and we all have our bad days. but some of the gems he told me about sheer plebs requesting stuff had me in stitches:

Punter: will ya play that song "**** you i wont do what ya tell me" :rolleyes:

Punter: will ya play that song "i want ta **** ya like an animal" :rolleyes:

Punter: will ya play slayer? (slayer is already playing) :rolleyes:

the best i witnessed myself, helmut was fond of dropping in a 90's dance megamix, rhythm is a dancer etc just to **** with the metalheads. one night when he does this a stereotypical metaller and his blonde afro'd skater mate start giving him the finger......until he plays bomfunk mc's freestyler (savage tune) meteller proceeds to clear a space for his mate to breakdance!


heres some tips about requesting stuff from dj's.

ASK ONCE.

if it fits in with what he's doing theres a good chance he'll play it. he's thinking 2, 3 maybe even 10 songs ahead and reading the crowd....perhaps your request will be a buzzkill?

asking more that once results in your song never being played.

She was wearing a tartan mini skirt and stripey knee socks
She made me feel really self conscious though and now I pretty much hate going to Fibbers!

Aw, don't let tits like that ruin Fibbers for you! She was clearly a shallow idiot, the ironic thing is these muppets think they're being so 'alternative' when they're actually as stuck-up and superficial as the ''normal/trendy'' people they claim to hate!

It's too late, it's been ruined! I'm pretty shy and stuff and I hate to think that someone just doesn't like me, like that night! I feel really uncomfortable in Fibbers now Such a shame 'cause 3 euro drinks was pretty great!

Yeah, gotta love the cheapo drinkies!:p Aw, that whole thing was totally all her problem, it seems like she was projecting her insecurities onto you because she's not comfortable enough to be herself without her 'rocker' uniform! Muppet of the highest order, I wouldn't spare her a second thought.
