Exactly, they're bloody great!!! >:D< Some of his are better than others (I've read most I think), but basically the plots will involve someone who died or went missing ages ago seeming to kind of turn up again. I should mention Tony Parsons' "stories we could tell", really really enjoyed it. It was set a year before I was born, but I could still relate totally to the characters, and enjoyed the nostalgia. Jah I'll give it to you next time I see you, basically the main characters are about the age you would have been the year it was set. Would be interested to see if you think it rings true or not. Have just started the second adventure of Captain Alatriste "Purity of Blood" by Arturo Perez-Reverte having read the first one sometime last year. They're really nicely written books set in early 17th century Spain, and offer quite a bit of interesting history around the fictional story. Apparently the author (a war reporter) was disgusted by the lack of 17th century history in his daughter's school text books, he decided to write about the era.

Steady on :-S

Chances of Keef turning up currently 20% I'm afraid... It all depends on how this afternoon turns out really.

I see it being more like Ranieri at Chelsea. However ever well he'd done that season, his days were numbered. Think it'll be the same here.

I think he'll be there for the season then they'll bring in a more glam name and lots of players next summer.

Basically every bar has people who like it and people who don't. The Bishop is by a mile one of the more popular drinking holes in the area, and yet I think it's horific at the weekends! I am sure people will go back and give +venture another go, and I also think that a lot of people on here are fair enough to come back and post more posative things should they have a better experience next time. Different folks different strokes.

No, we're just bored at work.

And they have no feckin breaks!

Last time I went on a dutch bike, I very nearly rode straight in to a waiting canal... Stupid pedal backwards to stop braking system thingy!!!!! It was about 4am to be fair.

Like Sean says, they responded very well to critisism, so all power to them for that. Have always said the place isn't really my thing, and I'm not overly keen on sitting in (squashed and hot). BUT, the wines I've bought there have always been very nice, and that is the main thing at the end of the day. Still poncey though ;-)

But it didn't taste like any cocktail I'd ever had... That said, the drink Sean gave me (something with rum and vanilla I think) was rather nice. Dear Anna I can only appologise.

Is that what that was? When I tried it, I honestly honestly thought you'd just ordered a Rose or something. I remember thinking Anna could have tried a cocktail being that it's a cocktail bar. Feckin hell now I know what it was meant to have been, it was even more shite! I still intend to pop in here again though, don't think a place can be judged on opening night... Note to Kidda, you obviously love this place loads, and I'm sure you have absolutely no personal interest at all... (:-S) but there is no need to go slating people because they don't like a feckin bar. Most of the bars in Dulwich are shite in my opinion (at least they are at weekends), but loads would disagree with me! PS. I agree with you about liqourish.

Nice to see someone trying this, and very best of luck to you! I suspect you'll do very well!

This thread is funny.

Feckin Wales! (6)

Exactly right Jah! Mike Ashley tried to be the fan that bought the club, but unlike the Blackburn fella in the 90s (Walker? Memory not working), you just can't do it in this day and age! Alan Sugar wouldn't be able to compete financially in this game now, not at the top of the prem anyway. Feel very sorry for Curbishly.

Cheers Mark, admin has now responded to me.

Is he dirty?

Emailed admin about this, but not sure you got it. How does one (or one's band to be precise) go about becoming a forum sponsor and getting their banner across the different rooms? And how much does it cost? I have my signature at the bottom of my posts, and we've done well from it, but we felt that a sponsorship would both get our name seen by more people, and give something back to the forum as a thank you.

Exactly right! I now find that I basically don't like anywhere except the Plough, CPT, and possibly Black Cherry, but if we all liked the same places, life would be boring, and they'd be over crowded so we would soon go off them, and then the world would just melt in confusion!

Ha, good point macroban. At the ripe old age of 30, I was told by a local trendy young 19 year old that the place is wicked man, and that I should try it out. Thing is, I never liked places like that really, I've been and old mans pub kind of guy since I was 15 :-S

I was disapointed to see that Voronin has only gone out on loan, I thought we were rid of the waste of space for good! I mean good luck to him and all that, but like Baros for us before him, he can't seem to finish for toffee!

I'm not being funny, but if I read this thread there's no way I'd come back on. At the end of the day, if the place is full (which I guess it is), then who gives a flying feck if others are slating it? I thought it was shite, but as Sean has said, I very much doubt it'll fail. Surely this would be an improvement wouldn't it?

Actually ignore that, I think I've just worked it out for myself... Might be, he did chose sky blue over a darker blue after all.

*whispers* what does a bit of a flake mean?
