Perhaps we could persuade the barperson who was part of the Krafwerk Tribute Band to put on his laser show there again, it was brill :)) Ooops I mean Kraftwerk (I think!)

I've had a packet delivered today, the postie rang the bell and handed it over, no problem.

I stand corrected and bow my head in shame :-$ :)

Wishing Well sounds good, or Clockhouse or Old Nun's Head. Woodhouse a bit of a trek but I guess not if you live at that end :) Market Porter more of a day trip :))

I don't want them over anyone's house at 4.30am! I also don't want to keep rehashing the same points as have been made earlier on the thread, but it's a long long thread to trawl through :-$

I think there are a lot of issues involved, both on a local (nimby) level and also far wider, and one of them is what the government is doing or intends to do about the increasing use of air travel at a time when climate change would seem to be the world's main priority.

I've also been labouring under the delusion that it was just a few planes going round in circles over East Dulwich :)) Right, I'm going to chase Tessa Jowell for a proper reply to my email .....

I've just looked up the Theakstons web page and it certainly looks as if their ale is brewed in Masham, same as it ever was (Talking Heads) :)

Whilst I agree with your sentiments on the whole, I think good ale is good ale regardless of where it comes from - presumably the same people make it as used to, whoever is the ultimate owner? And don't Scottish and Newcastle make Newkie Brown? Nuff said :)

Yes I've noticed the famine/feast thing of mail - I used to get one or two items every day, now I get a load all at once.

Yes what?! Yes you find it commonly in ED pubs, yes you've lost your smiley menu, or yes it's just me? :)

BLAND ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! And if you find it commonly in any pubs in ED or nearby, please let me know so that I can get myself down there PDQ :) PS Has anybody else lost their smiley menu, replaced by an "explorer user prompt" (I don't use IE!) or is it just me??

Or sleep on the ground floor where maybe the noise from the planes is less obvious?

Go Now - The Moody Blues have just come out of my sulk after having my hand slapped for not sticking to the rules .....

They should conscript you Flapjack Davey :D)

Are they gooey??

TheePope Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I find Theakstons a bit dull. > >xxxxxxx Are you perchance related to the guy on another thread who thought Ganapati was a crap Indian Restaurant? 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 :))
