This week the choice is narrowed down to Trainspotting or Hot Fuzz
Every Wednesday at 8pm we will show a film in the basement.
We’d like to encourage participation by offering the chance to pick a Wednesday and a film that you would like to inflict / encourage others to see – we can only fit about 20 people max -. Simply let us know which Wednesday you want and the film you would like to watch and we’ll try and sort it out. -
If you are a special case – like Mrs Roweth for instance – we might start it at 8.30, or earlier if it is a long film.
We’ll also have snacks and nibbles on offer (popcorn, sweets, potato wedges, frozen yoghurt and the like) or maybe a cheeseboard and bottle of wine to sink into the sofa and enjoy a most civilised experience
ADD YOUR CHOICE HERE
It’s our birthday, we are one,oh no Eurovisions on!
If I can put up with it so can you – perhaps it will be different when we are two?
Do come along and help us celebrate (surviving) our first year in business, even if Eurovision makes you crawl up the walls I’m sure popular Paulie will have created something to please everyone – he’s that kinda guy – Might even let him start off with a bit of ka-ra-o-key – ooh ooh and there will be cake
POP QUIZ Saturday 18 May @ the purple carrot
Mr Cooper, eyes a sparkle is ready to come up with something quite remarkable!!
With added sweepstake for eurovision glory and more merriment than could be imagined, It is time to test your musical knowledge (or be proud of your lack of it 
) The fare – featuring both eurovision and other stuff – will as usual be a mix of the banal and insignificant – from 7.30 for 8pm start. Individuals and teams (up to 5/6) welcome.
As we are now licensed if it is all too much tosh just have a beer and some nosh
This weeks specials are really special…
Beef and ale cobbler with rice and beans;
Purple Carrot Fish Chowder;
Carrot & Coriander soup;
Slow Roast pork with cracking and apple sauce – in a BAGEL!;
The Purple Carrot Cake of the week;
There will also be chances to try some of Kia’s lunch time extra special experimental bagel fillings
Entertainment News- Possibly even more tasty, but not as exciting as this weeks specials (at least for the organiser) is the April popular pop Quiz to be held on Saturday 20 April – yes this Saturday -
Due to a further enforced period of inactivity Mr Cooper is chomping at the bit to test your musical knowledge and is challenging all-comers to enjoy his musical tastes, answer his banal questions and top it all off by having a good time in so doing – from 7.30 for 8pm start. Individuals and teams (up to 5/6) welcome. As we are now licensed if it is all too much tosh just have a beer and some nosh
complimented by a couple of new dishes (meat feast cous cous or sweet potato, courgette and quorn thai curry) the second of the monthly trivia quizzes hits the purple carrot tomorrow 8.15-10pm – nothing too hard, most things completely trivial, and a chance to show just how full of junk your brain really is
£1 a person – teams of 2 or 3 members encouraged to give it a little bit of a competitive edge
Every third Saturday of the month (This Saturday 16 March is the next one) we now hold the “popular” pop quiz 7.30 for 8pm start @ the purple carrot – think you can hack it? Is it hard? too old / too young?
Well to give you an idea we are now going to post the previous quizzes – just for fun – so you can see how dastardly our quiz-Meister is – and if I can ever fathom out how to add the music rounds, well then I will…
