Btw, how are you finding Gay Paree. I heard you watched the first leg in the 8e. Used to stay there with a mate just off Madelaine. A DJ called C-Bass who used to do Thursday nights at the Gibus in Republique. Nicest bouncers in history. C-Bass would take a bottle of vodka in his record bags and we'd drink it behind the decks. Bouncer saw us and gave us a nod, saying I'm ok, just don't let the owner catch you.

One night my mate and I got back from Amsterdam but got to the Gibus after it had started. Bouncer said sorry, you're not on the guest list {our mates didn't know we'd be there.} Asked if he could go inside and ask but he said he had to stay outside.

*******s, we said. No probs. He smiled and said in you go, I know you're part of their crew and you'd be on the list if they knew you were in town.

As I say, the most civilised bouncers.

I didn't know The Gibus was a well established venue until I saw it in a film about French punks in the '70s.

But where's this bar in the 8th you watched the game at? And where will you watch the PSG game?
Paris est bon, GG, tres bon! French isn?t progressing as quickly as I hoped but definitely getting better. Loving the food scene, art scene, music scene and generally exploring the city.

I watched the game at Brady?s Irish pub on Rue Lisbonne. Nice little place and they have Piper?s crisps to eat with my pints of lager! I live just north of Parc Monceau in Courcelles so just walk through the park and turn left onto Rue Lisbonne and Brady?s is about 5 min walk. Will be there for the PSG game as well if you plan on being in the city. My schwarma place is in Marais so too far for a post match kebab. Not many kebab shops in the 8th sadly.
