FREE Baby Boomer Night! Sunday 6 July at The Ivy House!


Sue

Recommended Posts

If you are a Baby Boomer (born between 1945 and 1965 apparently) or even if you aren't, come along to The Ivy House on 6 July and hear a load of nostalgic music from the fifties, sixties and seventies.


The eclectic mix will include chart, soul, blues, reggae, Motown and more.


From The Animals to Talking Heads via John Lee Hooker, Dusty Springfield, Wilson Pickett, Small Faces, Cream, Muddy Waters, AARRGGHH too many to include but hey we'll try .....


Starts 7pm.


Following a request by somebody desperate to give us their rendition of a sixties (I think) song, there is now a late addition of a Singaround at some point during the evening (now 8pm! See next post!). So if you're dying to get up and sing your favourite Beatles song or whatever, now's your chance. We WON'T be using the stage or PA, so don't be shy!


It's also half the Goose's (clue - not Nygel's) 65th "celebration" so do come and commiserate :))

We've decided to start the Singaround at 8pm, and will finish it when everybody who wants to sing has had a chance to sing one song (unless there are too many people, in which case we may have to draw a line, so get there early to be sure of a spot!)


We'd prefer it if you didn't sing sixties songs of doom, unless you've been practising "Eve of Destruction" in the shower for the last month :))


Then we'll continue with more nostalgic tracks (well, nostalgic to those of a certain age :)) )

This is tomorrow night, people!


The Ivy House will be serving food until 8pm, so get there earlyish if you want to eat. Unless you are fond of cake (there may be a bit of cake available if you're quick) :))


There will be the usual excellent range of ales, craft beers, wine etc.

Oh, and Nyge and Sue will be singing their (in)famous version of Down The Dustpipe. Be very afraid. If you know it, please feel free to join in and drown us out :))

Phew, thanks to the person who saved the day when I was panicking I wasn't going to be able to play any music tonight due to a memory stick/playlist problem, and fingers crossed it all works later :))

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
