Edited as posted same thing twice!

If you're short of a player I'd be up for it... if you've got your 4 not too worry!

I'm actually on Lordship Lane itself... albeit the very top end - but it's still SE22!

An old couple is on a walk, when a pigeon flies by and relieves himself on the woman's head. "Yech!" says the woman. "Get some toilet paper." "What for?" says the man "He must be half-a-mile away by now."

Due to a previous booking (!) it looks like I may have to miss these drinks (the first I've missed in the last 6!) - may try to pop in on way back to see if there are any reprobates still wetting their whistles! (PS is there a secret knock if it's after 11pm and the doors are shut..?!)

There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in. The first man in line started telling his story, "Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn''t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn't kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am." The next man came up and started his story. "St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought ''Please God spare my life'' and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I''m here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me." It was now the third guy's turn to start his story. "Well, Peter, just picture this. I'm hiding butt naked in this married chick''s refrigerator....."

Oh how disappointing - I was hoping for another lovely drinking den : ( I'm sure Mr Cat will be checking this out at some point though ;-)

... and she could well lassoo you with it!

Oh that's great news - will try to pop in later for a glass of Vino!

... and I never said I didn't believe you either Katy... I do! I'd just like some clarification what we need to jump and down about to the councillors/MPs etc! If, horror of horrors, it closes down, I'll be joining you in a sit in - cocktail in hand!

I have to say I would count the Black Cherry as my favourtie place to go out on Lordship Lane as I love a well-made cocktail.. (& partly due to the fact it holds some very pleasant memories there!) and I would certainly be very upset to see it close... but like Keef I'd like to hear from the owners exactly what the problems are before writing petitions etc... Also would like to say a Here Here on Mikese22 post about suggestions......!

Aww - thanks for remembering - unfortunately I've already made other plans for tonight, but bear me in mind for another time!

I have to disagree Sean - I've only been the once but I thought the food was excellent... if the food in this new place is anywhere near as good it will be a great addition to the ED area... Obviously this is just my opinion!

Hurrah! Am already looking forward to trying it out... I'm trying to go to, and tick off every "restaurant/eatery" in ED so I'll add this to my list! Hope there is home made gnocchi too...

Sorry I can't make this one guys.... have a great time - and I look forward to reading the reports tomorrow!

Or as good as Si Mangia on Forest Hill Road! I'm hoping it will be an Italian - will make a change from all the Curry Houses! (much as I enjoy them!)

My vote as I've not been there yet is for The Herne! If not then the CPT!

I work in publishing so there is a huge amount of paper wastage here - however we do have recycling bins in every office but just for paper... would like there to be plastic recycling too but sadly there is not... By the way, I've just discovered a great recycling place that will recycle old CD's / DVD's/ CD-R's / cassette tapes and VHS tapes - you have to send the items to them but at least they put them to some use and they are not filling landfill sites.. if any one is interested the website is: http://www.thelaundry.biz/ Our office manager is co-odinating a collection of all our unwanted DVD's etc and we'll be sending a big batch over... just hope the carbon footprint of the van taking them there doesn't outweigh the benefits of recycling!

I'll be along later too - might be a bit late as I have earlier drinks too...look forward to seeing you all there!

Have a tip top birthday Tillie!

Weds nights are not great for me as I have dance classes - but could give it a miss one week if its the only night everyone else is free, as I'd really like to try Ganapati... but if another night is good for everyone then great!!

Sorry I can't make tonight - am helping to entertain out of town guests.... hopefully can make the next one though... x
