Angela, could you just clarify exactly what you guys are hoping to do with the place and what the problem is, as there seems to be a bit of confusion (at least in my little brain).

Sounds good! Piers, I'll get Dems and Nathan involved, that way we have at least 2 good players! Sure Ed would be up for it again too.

I'll be there hoping to improve on my stunning duck during our mid order collapse last year. May well be up for coming to nets for a bit of bowling practise though... I'm never going to be a very good batsman!

Nice Mike, nice :-S

I would, but I can't see the Cherry being anyone's "local" in that way... I could be quite wrong, but I have to admit the original post didn't feel particularly genuine to me either. However, genuine or not, I like the Cherry, which is more than can be said for most places down Lordship Lane *spits in the general direction of the bishop*, so hope they're okay.

Steve, I'd not looked at this thread for ages, so missed your posts. I have signed the petition, and hope it works! I knew things were bad, but genuinely had no idea just how bad they'd become! I am a regular of the CPT, and I worry for it's future. The "owner" or lease holder wants rid, because she's making nothing on it. People avoid it because they think it's scruffy, but she's not going to spend the money it needs to do it up, because she doesn't have it, and the pub is never going to make it. She wants rid, but can't flog it, and Punch Taverns still have it on their website for a hefty amount for the 10 year lease. As things stand, the pub doesn't have much of a future, and this saddens me, as it has been the place I have met many of my best friends. I even met my wife through someone I knew in there, and I stayed in Australia with the parents of the current manager. It may sound corny, but it's more than just a boozer to me, it has an old school pub feel (not like the Castle in case you're reading DPF) that you don't get down Lordship Lane, and I fear that in a couple of years it will be a memory. Anyway blah blah blah, didn't realise the problem was so wide spread. Hope something gets done, but unfortunately I'm not confident.

On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott passed out after a night of heavy drinking in a London club called MusicMachine (better known as Camden Palace and currently the KOKO), and was left to sleep in a car owned by an acquaintance named Alistair Kinnear, at 67 Overhill Road in East Dulwich, South London. The following afternoon, after Kinnear had found Scott lifeless and alerted authorities, Scott was rushed to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Although common folklore claims that pulmonary aspiration of vomit or drugs were the cause of Scott's death, the official cause was listed as "acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure.

I'm confused, when I read the leaflet they'd put on a table a while ago, I understood that they just wanted to have a "garden" area out back for open air drinking and smoking. They were saying it wasn't fair, as they were the only ones to have been refused this (to be fair, The Bishop has it, and that's only a couple of doors down). I didn't realise from this leaflet that they had actually planned to extend the building out back... Or am I missing the point here? RE: Jamie, he is indeed back, but he's in his final year of his studies, so don't expect this to be long term.

Maybe there is some confusion about the burial mound thing. Urban Myth has always suggested (incorrectly) that Hornimans Triangle (the bit across the road from the gardens where the little playground is with the sadly empty paddling pool) was a plague burial pit. Interesting thread about it here. Perhaps this other burial mound is a different thing. I like the history of honor oak, SEE HERE. Oak of Honor Hill also known as One Tree Hill is where Elizabeth 1 picnicked with Sir Richard Bulkeley of Beaumaris in the Lewisham area on May Day in 1602 and it is reliably believed that it was by an oak tree on the summit of this hill. The tree became known as the Oak of Honor. In 1896 the open space was enclosed to form an extension to a golf club, but a campaign involving demonstrations and rioting led to its acquisition by Camberwell Borough Council as public open space in 1905.

Ha, good work! At the end of the day, they are going to drink anyway, and you've done them a good turn. It's not like you waved the bottles around in front of an AA meeting!

No you weren't dreaming.

Horrid and cruel finish for Spurs there, but I think with this manager they have some silverware coming to them... I was a big fan of Martin Jol, but have to say this guy has improved them big time. Although to be fair to Jol, he built this team, and had awful luck with injuries... he just should have given them less cake for God's sake! ;-)

As cdonline says above, there are far worse things on buses, from smelly food, to shouting school kids, to PLAYING F**KING MUSIC ON MOBILE PHONES!!! Just cos you have the evil smoking ban now, must you really moan if some poor bus driver fancies a fag when there is noone on the bus, before he has to deal with the stresses of driving a bus through London, and dealing with toss pot passengers!

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the pool got Chelsea, and would rather that than Arsenal or Man U, although I genuinely wouldn't fear anyone as such, there are no weak teams left, and in this competition at least, Liverpool are up there with anyone. I still don't really get why this competition is so us, but there you go... I meant what I said a while ago, that I would rather have a league title, but I do love the champions league, such huge games, all feeling like a final! Anyway, whoever we get, I don't think they'll be rubbing their hands together about it, I think in the champs league we will be just as feared as any other team.

Ratty and Rolo have beaten me to it, but I was going to say, it might be worth pointing out that if her mother has already died, there really isn't any great rush, so public transport should be fine.

Hmm, not sure he's actually started... I'll take the US version then thanks Sean. DVD player does work, just needs some coaxing sometimes.

Innit! :)-D Bring on the draw!

Almost finished series 3... Sean, or someone, can I have 4 soon please (UK version would be best as my multi region DVD player is being bad!).

Cheers Jah, not sure how that happened, as I do know the difference (honest guv). Oh well, hopefully corrected now.

Mrs Keef and I shall be there.

Wouldn't have the first clue mate, I just turn up where I'm told... Funnily enough, at the end of March we are playing at some do at Queens Club!
