Peckhamgatecrasher

Last time I was in Pigalle, most places served horse.

I knew an old lady who died a couple of years' ago when she was in her nineties. Her name was Renee Brown (don't know her maiden name). She told me she was born in the Magdala Pub. If I bump into her daughter, I will try and get some more details.

East Dulwich Road Crescent? This is a Christian country I'll have you know. Christopher Columbus - whatever next. PS: Tudor Court Rules went out with the monasteries.

Hear, hear. That other thread about a hand-held reader/download from Amazon thingy left me cold. Nothing beats cracking the spine on a new book.

Roast the bone on a low heat for a good hour or so, before you make it into a stock - it will yield more flavour

Pythagorus and his merry band didn't eat beans because they produced wind and he thought there was a spirit in the beans!

Brendan, you must be pregnant, sounds like you're eating for two.

Slight aside but, T E Lawrence's motorbike is gorgeous, and worth a look at in the IWM.

I think you'll find we pay enough tax on cigarettes to fund our own hospitals.

Give them to me Michael, I am doing an art installation piece.

Well all I will say Asset is, my carnivorous performance on the badminton court versus your veggie!!

Don't bring George Bernard Shaw into the argument, that will only upset the apple cart and the fructarians out there. [Demerey, a cheap jibe at Millwall is not up to your usual wit - tsk, tsk.]

Bandits

Phwaw!

Are you my twin sister?

Agree so much about 'stakeholder' - that word drives me bonkers.

An American dictionary - I rest my case.

Mentee (as in recipient of a Mentor's advice) So wrong.

Woken up grumpy, depressed and broke. Won't be there, but jolly good luck chaps.

And 'hinky' means what?

I was playing pool in the Gowlett two weeks ago. I stand by what I said, it has neither a gastro pub interior or an old fashioned pub interior. It is my local and if you look at my nom de plume, it's not hard to work out that I live in Peckham, so I'm not going to dismiss it's location. It's not what I require from an old fashioned boozer, namely dark and grim interiors, sticky floors and dart boards, a public, saloon, snug and offie and a packet of pork scratchings if you're lucky.
