  1. Clover .. Animal Farm. Foxy
  2. Some investors suggesting they are not in this for profit. They seem to be investing out of sentimental attatchment to restore a previously failed business. No business can survive just on ANY level of sentiment.. Hundreds of Public Houses are closing every month. It is probably one of the worst times to start a new business venture. One of the most important questions when opening any business.. "Where will my customers come from."? Like day in, day out. That really would be MY main concern... Even pubs on Lordship Lane are empty on week nights. But then they 200+ people in at the week-ends. DulwichFox
  3. Well I was a regular in the 70's. Will definately pay a visit to see what has become of the place... Just hope the old features remain. Would hate to see the place destroyed by by removing anything that resembles wood as the Clock House has done. Foxy
  4. Emu.. Foxy

  6. So if the Freehold was already purchased back in March..? And Capital was raised to enable trading to commence...??? It would seem to me that "Investors" do not actually own any part of the Property. i.e. The Ivy House. What do they have shares in.. ? DulwichFox.
  7. Yes it is de Selby...Over to you aquarius moon.. Note:- In this novel the character is known as "de Selby", with the latter capital D appearing in use in O'Brien's The Dalkey Archive. 'De Selby' The Third Policeman is a Must read... The Third Policeman is Flann O'Brien's brilliantly dark comic novel about the nature of time, death, and existence. Told by a narrator who has committed a botched robbery and brutal murder, the novel follows him and his adventures in a two-dimensional police station where, through the theories of the scientist/philosopher de Selby, he is introduced to "Atomic Theory" and its relation to bicycles, the existence of eternity (which turns out to be just down the road), and de Selby's view that the earth is not round but "sausage-shaped." With the help of his newly found soul named "Joe," he grapples with the riddles and contradictions that three eccentric policeman present to him. http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/book/?GCOI=15647100503720 Foxy
  8. Yes, the book is The Third Policeman.. The Author is Flann O'Brien, aka Brian O'Nolan, aka Myles na gCopaleen.. But Who is the 'fictitious inventor' refered to throughout the book.. ....who is heavily referenced in footnotes in this book, the longest of which takes up the bottom halves of eight pages and ends on a completely different note from the one on which it began. Hint... Just Google.. The Third Policeman ... Foxy...

  10. stacey-lyn Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Sounds very Kafkaesque, Foxy. Rather Kafka meets > The Prisoner. > But I'm obviously not that well read. So I'm out. Blimey... stacey-lyn. had to look up 'Kafkaesque' Marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger That is exactly what the book is. Written in 1940 / rejected by the publishers / finally published in 1966 after the death of the Author. The work of an Irish literary genius.. Has become a fine example of Cult Literature.. Re-published frequently with new cover designs Foxy
  11. The Character I am looking for is mentioned by the author throughout the book. Written in the First Person the name of the main characters is never revealed. Big Clue to identifiy the Book. ?Who is Fox?", I asked. "Policeman Fox is the third of us," said the Sergeant, "but we never see him or hear tell of him at because he is always on his beat and never off it and he signs the book in the middle of the night when even a badger is asleep. He is as mad as a hare, he never interrogates the public and he is always taking notes.? Now find the fictitious inventor.. Foxy
  12. Not by CS Forester... Clue: When you look in the mirror, due to the speed of light, you see yourself as a younger person. Foxy
  13. Not The right awnswer aquarius moon But .. you really did get the clue spot on.. In a way.. you were very close to solving the first part of this 'Conundrum' [clue]? The Book was first rejected by the publishers remained unpublished until the authors death in 1966. First identify the Book.... The character is not in the story line of the book, but there are countless references to this ficticious inventor and scientist. [big Clue] Foxy
  14. The fictional character of this piece of literature is referenced throughout. The title of the piece is not the main character, may well qualify for a Bronze medal in his field of work. and the main character's name is irrelevent if not unknown. Too much given away here I think. Foxy
  15. Well that was very cryptic.. Still have not worked out the Gardening bit... Will need to make this harder than my first attempt solved in about 5 minutes... Right.. here we go... First Clue.. 'Fictional character that does not appear in the story line.' I'm off out for some fodder. Check out all your answers soon. Have fun. Foxy.
  16. Fred Harlow was the Liberal haa.. Harlow ... Essex Foxy
  17. Crass ?? Bob Crass ..? I'll try and work out why.. ? Edit to include:- Around the year 1905, in a seaside town on the south coast of England, a group of painters and decorators are about to have dinner ? what we Guardian readers call lunch. The men are renovating a big, ramshackle Victorian house called The Cave. Foxy.
  18. Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago wrote The Cave He was a Liberal Am I even close. Foxy
  19. Felix Mendlessohn.. Foxy..

  23. Babour is not really Forest Hill It is in Brockley Rise.. Just passed Honor Oak Park Station. Bit of a Walk. Just over 2 miles. from ED. Like to try it though.. May need to book well in advance and pay a deposit. Foxy
  24. Hi Michael.. Thanks once again for organising another great night... I did think about you this morning.. I think you first intended to go home after the restaurant.. but came to the Bishop.. I was glad myself I did not have to get up too early. ;-) Foxy..
  25. Normally your washing machine will be connected using connectors like this. There may be one.. Cold feed Blue Or two Cold feed Blue / Hot feed Red.
