I would insert a smiley here, but they have totally disappeared off my laptop, how can this be?? Will try the colon and bracket and see what happens :) :( Erm, got no smiley menu but seem to be able to produce smileys and frowneys, how can this be ???? Not sure I can do the happy clappy beer clinking smiley without the menu though ... :)

So what's the truth then? I think we should be told. When can we have a late night kebab and lager again,eh? And where have all the smileys gone?

Surely metal can be recycled, otherwise how come so many railings were removed in the war to make things related to the war effort? And "less fence equals more dog shit" surely depends on your definition of "less" and how the fence is constructed?

Are they worth > trying again? xxxxx If that's the one the other side of Camberwell, we went there on New Year's Eve for their Indian Elvis experience - the Indian Elvis was brilliant, but the food was absolutely dire and we were massively overcharged (amazingly I was not too drunk at well after midnight to notice, so they did change the bill when I pointed out the error in addition ..... )

I got all excited, I thought it said Charlie Brown :))

YAY, Adnam's Broadside, great :) If there's a beer festival, can I put in a plea for Theakston's Old Peculier (sic), also if there's cider can we have Addlestone's?? Hooray! There goes another doubling of my waistline :)) :)-D

Great to hear there is a new chef, will be down to try the food soon :)

I see Tessa Jowell has a meeting in Barry Road next Saturday morning (15 November) which unfortunately I can't go to. Is anyone else going, and are they going to raise the issue of plane noise? I have had no response from whichever department she passed my email to aeons ago, and I have raised it again in my feedback sheet to her which was enclosed with the meeting invitation. I am so sick of this, I was woken by planes in the very early hours of this morning, could not get back to sleep again and they seemed to be very frequent, very low and even louder than usual. I ended up getting up at 7am on a Sunday morning rather than lying in bed awake waiting for the next ******* plane to come over(6)

Completely agree, charliecharlie

Feel free. xxxxxx It's not that people "can't find the Lounge", MP. It's that they may not look in the Lounge for relaxation and chit-chat, and therefore will not see the post about the drinks. I would be very happy to put a post in the "What's On" section each month, which would take about two minutes, but as I don't organise the Forum Drinks or decide the venue, I don't feel it would be appropriate. However if the organisers want to delegate it to me, I'm happy to do it :) Also, the post in the Lounge is a sticky; if the "What's On" post wasn't, it would need the b word every so often.

Will Dex, I think people often have things on on Saturday nights as well, whether after work in town or not - whatever day you choose someone will have a problem with it. I like the Friday evening myself, it marks the end of the week :)

Not since I've been using the forum - can't remember when that is though :)

I've used Ralon to send faxes, it was fine, no problems :)

Very sensible idea, Keef, would make sure everybody knew about the drinks. You wouldn't need the whole thread, just a post saying where and when and a link to the main thread in the lounge. :)-D

I have grandchildren, of course I don't want them (or me) getting dogshit on them.

Well maybe it should be in both ... It's clearly something that's "on" :)) Maybe the drinks should be renamed "EDF Drinks for Forumites who Use the Lounge" :))

I know a lot of people who use the forum to find out what's going on in East Dulwich, not to "relax and chat" as the description of the lounge section says. Of course people find this thread OK here, because they're the ones who use the lounge! Those who don't use the lounge won't know the thread exists, so they won't know whether it's OK here or not! What other "quite a few things" would they miss in the lounge? The song game, jokes, rants .... busy people don't have time for all that (unless like me they're looking for any excuse not to get on with their work :) )

Why is this thread always in the lounge, rather than in "What's on"?? I never knew about the forum drinks for ages because I never went into the lounge section, and I'm sure a lot of other forum readers don't either :-S I only found out about the drinks because there was a reference to them on another thread in another section.

YAY!!!! :)-D
