No, not a scam for a Chinese supermarket. A message for WiP. After finding that the 'Show of Hands' do is "cabaret seating" we decided to take the lad anyway, to enhance his appreciation of live music. So if you see a couple who, on immediate appearance, seem to have their grandson with them, that will be us.

What on earth is that? My tickets still haven't arrived, I shall phone them tomorrow. Excellent, get them young. Yes, to see Divine Comedy earlier this year, all standing. It was a really good gig.
IIRC it may mean seating round tables folk club style (only without candles in old wine bottles). I got all high tech and printed my own tickets out using 'fast ticket'. Haven't been to the Wulfrun for a while. Our regular favourite Runrig gigs are usually at the Civic. I remember seeing the Oyster Band and Robert Cray there though. Oh and if I cast my mind back far enough Zoot Money and the Big Roll band, with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton as support (at the Civic)! Fairport Convention at the Grand Theatre were also fairly memorable. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
OT, but if you're ever passing round the north circular, about 1/2 a mile north of Hanger Lane there is a Chinese supermarker called HooHing (iirc). Fucking wonderful place it is. They have everything you could ever need and specialise in Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and Japanese foods. Well worth a visit if you're into cooking or just want to stock up on squid and strange sauces. http://www.hoohing.com/
Brownz @ Work says... There's another one on the industrial estate just off Staples Corner. You can access it from the sliproad that leads to the A406 roundabout under the A5, if you're heading north up the Edgware Road. -- Lozzo Triumph Daytona 955i SE (Black with added black bits) GSF600SW (broked) 'I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking.

Hmmm, I hope not, I want to dance. Martyn Joseph is the support act btw, doors open 7pm, he's on at 7.30pm. I rang them, they went 'ooops, sorry we forgot' so I'll pick them up on the night.
It ain't on the industrial estate, it's at the end of Humber Road, which is somewhat before the slip road, she said pedantically. If you mean Wing Yip, that is. Please see previous recommendation to WC - you can also get to it by doing a U in the Jet garage if you happen to be going Sarf on the A5. Mind you, I find it rather disturbing that you lot are thinking of visiting this close to me. Ali
Alison Hopkins says... I thought it was just past the Peugeot dealers, which puts it on the slip road. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's not like I'm going to be visiting it so I'm liable to be a bit vague about location. I'm round that way quite a lot. I cover the London area, and that's where most of my business is done. -- Lozzo Triumph Daytona 955i SE (Black with added black bits) GSF600SW (broked) 'I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking.

The entrance (at the moment!) is in Humber Road itself, just up the hill from the Pug dealer on the corner of said road. So, you actually have to go up Humber Road to get to it. If that makes sense. If bloody TFL EVER sort themselves out, the new entrance will be on the A5, just after Humber Road. But there's a bit of a problem with the planning agreements. Wing Yip are building a nice new store and restaurant, with a nice new entrance on the A5, thus pleasing the locals. Brent gave consent, all fine and dandy. Then some numbnut at TFL decided they couldn't be arsed to move the damn bus stop a few yards. For history nerds, the big brown building just down from the Pug dealer is the visible bit of the Admiralty bunker. Hm. What sort of fellow should I be looking out for, then? Ali

Almost looks worth going just to sample the Dim Sum judging from the menu for the Mitcham and Hanger Lane stores.
We shop at Wing Yip, on the A23. There's what's supposed to be a very good restaurant attached to it, as well. Haven't tried it yet.
Wing Yip or Hoo Hing? I don't thnk we've got the Wing Yip eatery yet. For some juvenile reason, Hoo Hing as a name makes me chortle. Ali
Hoo Hing - I just followed the link that was posted. You'd be in perpetual hysterics then in Hong Kong.
