Another shameless plug. I'll be helping my dad run his new club this Saturday night. The music will be good, at least, and if anyone is brave enough to come to Morden on a Saturday night, I'd be glad to see you.
I recently heard a story that a gaggle of Japanese tourists pitched up at Morden, thinking that they were going to visit Mordor, The Land of Shadow. They didn't go too far wrong, in fact. (Whether this story is actually true, I just don't know. Nor do I care, really.)

Know where I'd rather be!
Posted by: Tilesey on November 6, 2003 05:13 PMI hope you get the time to add it to - http://london.openguides.org/ - the Open Guide to London, Mordor/Morden seems to be notably sparse in there.
Posted by: Jim Hughes on November 7, 2003 12:16 PM*Everywhere* seems to be a bit sparse at the moment - but there's only one way to fix that, so I'll add stuff. Thanks, Jim!
Posted by: Simon Brunning on November 7, 2003 12:31 PMMordor would have been a good name for the club, although you'd surely attract guests looking for a slightly different genre of music... as well as all those Japanese tourists.
Posted by: Paul Boddie on November 7, 2003 01:52 PMHmmm. Yes, you're right, but Dad's never read the book, and he's not *remotely* nerdy, (I get that from my mother's side) so he wouldn't get it. Nor, I suspect, would most of his punters.
