Bit of a moan - The Herne Tavern
mockney piers replied to shambles's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I must admit I've had the odd winge about the Dog on a sunday, too many screaming kids blah blah blah. But I do realise that it's a weird and rather petty side of British culture. Kids seen and not heard etc. I grew up partly in Spain that's a society that absolutely adores children. I was always made to feel special in restaurants when we went to them. In the seventies and eighties we didn't really do restaurants in this country as we generally weren't even allowed in them until I hit my teens more or less. Southern europe revolves around the family and just does it better than here (believe me it gets alot wrong, but in this they win hands down). Sad really. So now I know to avoid the Herne on a sunday if my heads a bit fragile, but I'm glad there's a place where kids can have fun while the bigguns have a pint, and hopefully they can be made to feel special like a young Blinder did. -
There's got to be a place, maybe in outer space where we won't be stuck like we are now. Making money, spending money, making money, spending money Let's go away... Phantom Buffalo - Anywhere with Oxygen

Yes Huguenot that's pretty much it though I think this is all by design. A red new denotes a new (to you) thread, a blue new denotes a new post on a thread you've already seen before (perhaps via the new button). But either new should disappear once you clicked on it, unless of course you use your back button. If you click on it then the page will refresh and it will vanish. Non?

Very cool. I bought Secret Canadian's 10th anniversary label sampler where they all do cover versions of each other's stuff today. Jens lekman does a fantastic Scout Niblett cover of your Beat Kick s Back Like Death. I can't offer you that but I can give you a live Dinosaur Egg

things I dislike about modern East Dulwich
mockney piers replied to capt_birdseye's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
And on a slightly more serious note. What is your problem with young families Louisa, did you not have one yourself at some point, were you not a child too? Yeah 3 wheelers are a bit showy, but I just think what a great place it'll be to grow up for this lot with a huge group of pals, only sad I haven't managed to get my own mrs mockney 'knocked up' as she likes to say, in time to catch it. And food hasn't been particularly organic since much past the post war era, so just because it wasn't in the lexicon in the 60s and 70s doesn't mean your food wasn't drenched in DDT. I would say that the queues at William Rose are there for the good quality produce, reasonable prices and fantastic service, not because of some sunday times supplement aesthetics pretension. -

Brilliant, like techtonic plates grinding up against one another this earthquake has been too long in coming. I'd post up something about where's the love people, but that would be no fun. Terry towelling tracksuits, I mean really, look at yourself for god's sake, and smoking above your children in any sort of pram/pushchair, 3-,4- wheeled or pogo-stick variety, NO! Milwall fans who bray for ex-hammers to get injured even when playing for England, grow up for goodness sake. Rugger buggers who complain about East Dulwich being too football, move to Hampshire. Anyone who has chosen to spend more than half their life in this city and still supports ABE (Anyone But England) you don't _have_ to live here you know. People who shout at bus drivers, why don't you trying working a long hard day and having to put up with lowlife scum shouting at you and still try and keep your dignity. Mercs that don't seem to think the zebra crossing by GG roundabout applies to you, your day will come, my key is at the ready... ...phew. Wasn't that cathartic now? -
LOL *round of applause* :D

This forum's attitude isn't what I'd been given to expect from those O'Reilly books I'd read. I thought we'd all be hanging around the lounge, drinking stella, discussing butter or something. Clearly a myth. ;)

From what I gather that's pretty much the fare on offer there. Sounds alot of fun though. I'll check it out myself at some point, but not until i have my polyester flares and kipper tie dry cleaned.

** warning, not for the faint hearted ** Are people still convinced Zizzi is better than Pizza Express after this tale of woe

Yes you are, begone foul demon. I've yet to witness a better script in a film. Not a word out of place, marvellous. Yeah, REG is irritating and has never done anything else worthwhile, but he fits the role so well.

Girl killed in West Dulwich this weekend?
mockney piers replied to TillieTrotter's topic in The Lounge
Just to make it clear, the girl wasn't killed, she's in hospital and looks like she'll be ok. Still terrible, but the title suggests the poor girl is a gonner. The lad's been arrested too. Jealous boy or gang stuff? -
Any interesting hobbies for Girls?!

What if Louisa is actually a very tech savvy poltergeist herself?!? -
Next EDF drinkie ..
mockney piers replied to Michael Palaeologus's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
That's the 12th so let's not get too spandexed. Hopefully Richard is off to Broadhall way this week to get 10 tickets. Mind you I think they go on sale to general public today so may have to check out FA web site. -

JennyH You could go for a nintendo wii, a strange combination of not having the expense and overcoming the inertia to go down the gym AND getting some exercise. I have buns of steel since i got the golf game and do a regular 18 hole round withou even leaving the living room. http://www.nintendojo.com/infocus/view_item.php?1175965488 -
Good stuff incitatus, the video reminded me of.... Yeah, I read too much xkcd Her Space Holiday - Forever and a day

Yeah, and Claridges could do with a bit of a face lift, I hear it's letting its standards slip.

Oh dear god save us, Amy Winehouse and Richard E Grant taking up Dick Emery's mantle. Could we be witnessing the worst film since Spice Girls the Movie in the offing?

Nice one Ben. Wedding Present - Nobody's twisting your arm Have you noticed YouTube commenters tend to veer toward hyperbole?

New Flats next to East Dulwich Trian Station

That's staggering, especially taking into consideration the Railway noise and the general grottiness of the area. And have you seen the size of the one beds on their site? I'm dure they're nice but I've seen larger bedsits.
