to hope a new bar and restaurant opening in my neighbourhood fails because its name is Pussey Liquor?

I've had a look at their facebook page and they don't appear to be a bunch of smirking 12 year old boys. Wtf are they thinking? Or is it only me who has the major cringe?

I'd be contacting the council to object...

LashesandLipstick · 15/07/2015 17:17

I had to say this out loud 3 times before I realised...

That being said I find it funny, but I'm sure that says more about me!

Idontseeanydragons · 15/07/2015 17:18

It'll be a bunch of hipsters thinking they're being clever with words. It's probably pronounced Fred Bloggs or something ridiculous..

CherryBonBon · 15/07/2015 17:19

YANBU.

That is grim.

HowDoesThatWork · 15/07/2015 17:19

Ha blinking ha.

I think I know the manager, Paul Mycock.

WorraLiberty · 15/07/2015 17:19

I find it funny too...like Dickens Cider.

"I'll have a white wine please, and my friend would like a Dickens Cider" Grin

Childish? Me? How very dare you Shock

apparently there is a Fun Club of the same in East London - one and the same. I live near Dulwich and we badly need decent bars... this won't be it!

DadfromUncle · 15/07/2015 17:25

Assistant manager, Wayne Kerr.

The 24 hour lapdancing bar that opened in the town where I went to school apparently failed (according to my mate) because they had failed to take account of the fact scantily clad folk cavorting about was a free show in town centre most nights and they were foolishly charging admission. Whilst I disagree with lapdancing bars for a number of reasons, I thought this was a suitably down to earth reason for failure and a bit better overall than simply objecting to it opening...

SuperFlyHigh · 15/07/2015 17:25

Closer if its Southwark then I highly doubt they will object.

a few of the bars down Lordship Lane are ok but one bar (think its changed it's name) had locals and 'bouncers' who were the type who annoyed and tried to chat you up when you were there with female friends. It got so bad I complained. they were really in your face.

SuperFlyHigh · 15/07/2015 17:27

they do have a twitter account maybe tweet them??

twitter.com/p_liquor

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 17:35

I don't tweet but even if I did, what would I say to them? They are no doubt congratulating themselves on the choice of name. I hope people will vote with their feet.

If Lordship Lane is so great, then why do so many businesses close down there? I think everyone has got themselves over-excited about the hype.

I just want them to fail because of their smug hipster shit. #popup #infusions #lackoforiginality

NashvilleQueen · 15/07/2015 17:38

It's like that neon bar sign 'liquor in the front. Poker in the rear'.

Disclaimer - I got that from a Rich Hall book. I haven't ever seen it and assume it's a v poor joke Confused

UncertainSmile · 15/07/2015 17:44

Kill all hipsters

Cornettoninja · 15/07/2015 17:45

Meh. They're clearly trying to appeal to a certain demographic and if that's big enough to support it then let them get on with it.

honeysucklejasmine · 15/07/2015 17:49

Oh my God, that twitter feed! #stopfuckinghashtaggingshitfornoreason

MackerelOfFact · 15/07/2015 17:52

Oh come on. It's no worse than some MN names. Anyone able to understand what liquor is and how pronounce is old enough not to be shocked by the concept of oral sex.

scatterthenuns · 15/07/2015 17:52

Theres a luxury restaurant in Durham called The G Spot, which has always amused me and my puerile mind. It's the Gourmet Spot really, but the G is purposefully huge and the 'ourmet' is purposefully diddy.

Let them get on with it, I say!

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 17:53

I think the appeal (to the certain demographic) will be limited though? Don't you think? And as far as I know, school children are not allowed to drink in bars.

Yes, I know I've made the reference to school children twice now, but honestly truly who else is going to find this funny?

You could imagine my delight a few years back to find the Pussy Liquor official vehicle parked outside my house. Apparently the name is meant to be bold and shocking because the awesome people who drink are bold and shocking.

I haven't the slightestfuckingidea what they are doing opening a bar on Lordship Lane given the demographics of the area. But I'm guessing it's run by some fancy public school boy who's still a bit scared to walk down Rye Lane. You know, where all the cool kids are.

OurDearLeader · 15/07/2015 18:22

They also think that East Dulwich is in Bromley and they deserve to be shot just for that.

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 18:23

No, that's just a Facebook thing.

LashesandLipstick · 15/07/2015 18:23

OP why are you so offended that people might find it funny? I have a childish sense of humour, it's harmless!

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 18:24

I'd like to make a comment on the thread on the East Dulwich Forum but I've been banned.

Silly arses.
