Emailing TfL (via their website) in my experience results in a "this email address is not known" message - presumably so they can claim they have had no complaints (td) But let's be fair, I can hardly blame them for the incident this morning!

Out of Time -Chris Farlowe

:)) That's comforting to know, Sean, a bit like cuddling a great big teddy bear whilst Rome burns or something :)

Go for it - I've got some balsamic vinegar in the cupboard if it would help :)

Get off the thread Flappers or it will be lounged. Oh - we are in the lounge :-$

I'm a Man - Spencer Davis Group

You're drunk, aren't you, Flappers. I'm psychic, me.

Climate change, banks in meltdown, credit crunch (whatever that means) - are we all going to hell in a handcart? Or have I just had too much wine after a hard day at work? :)

You got a publisher, Ted Max?? :)

I haven't read this thread apart from the title, but I'd just like to say that in my opinion having grandkids is the best thing ever - all the cuteness and none of the sleepless nights :))

Hey the Goose has a Hallowe'en night - e'en, even - at Hoopers the previous Friday :) Not that I'm taking any opportunity to promote our events, at all :) Siobhan Parr (aka Shivers) and Ain - both brilliant. And to get back on topic - for once, the Goose at Hoopers doesn't clash with the forum drinks, hurrah!!!!

You bored at all, f??? ??? Edited to say, I mean ???? :))

Edited again to say: I believe Marie's only has Thai food in the evenings - during the day they're a "normal" greasy spoon.

:)):)):)) Woof woof !!

Which stopped for what seemed like hours at East Dulwich Station whilst awaiting police to evict a fare evader who refused to get off the bus ..... We got off/on/off/on whilst other (full) buses sailed past ...... or stopped to let a zillionth of the people on "our" bus on ..... Eventually a police van and car arrived, lights flashing, sirens screaming, hurtling down Dog Kennel Hill and screeching to a halt by the bus .... No wonder the response time isn't great if they send so many to one minor incident :-S And from a sod's law point of view, I'd got up early to get an early start at work, too :))

I had liver and bacon there a few weeks back, as I hadn't had it for zillions of years. Absolutely delicious but, er, contained no bacon :) When I asked where the bacon was, after a bit of a wait, someone came and plonked down a side plate containing two rashers of bacon - no explanation, no apology :)) Couldn't be arsed to point out that liver and bacon is a dish in which the liver is cooked with the bacon ..... thereby imparting a tasty flavour to both ..... But shame the chef has left nonetheless, as it was very nice and I would have definitely eaten there again (have been less impressed with the roast in the past however - but maybe a different chef than the one who cooked Aced Out's roast .....).

Don't know the Montpelier, but Hoopers is good :)

Pull yourself together Flappers :))

Don't even mention the posh private members club at the EDT, many four letter words spring to my lips (6)

I work with tree people in another council, and I'm sure the trees wouldn't have been cut down without an extremely good reason. Council people who work with trees usually do so because they love trees..... :) Hasn't anybody asked why they were cut down??

Yeh agree, Thai food in London is nothing like as good as Thai food in Thailand......

Just gone to the CPT on the way back from a pleasant afternoon at the Magnolia. No beer at all??? Not on any of the pumps???? Not one???? And no apology, just "no, no ale". Erm, OK, shan't be going back there in a hurry then :-S Shame - they used to do Broadside once :-S

Just been to the Magnolia for the first time, it was/is lovely :) Great relaxed vibe, great wine, great beer, thanks Rose :)
