I'm you'll be down there fro a pint soon Foxy. Knowing how much you enjoy a good British dining concept. :-)

Arf! Me too apart from the head hair, shirts and dub step. I am sporting beard lite at the moment because David Tenant is and my lookalike/supermarket opening gigs will die if I keep out of step. Good to have Snorks back.

And the table tennis with General Sir Mike Jackson was bizarre and hilarious.

Ok we get it. I'm a big fan. He is much misunderstood, no more so than by those he parodies. He is the lone voice of a particular slice of the SE22 middle class. And he likes dub.

> You left out Lewes Mr Ben, it's a rising strong on > the EDF exodus trail I've been to Lewes a few times and no there's doubt its a nice family town with interesting history of pope burning, good beer and high speed rail links. But have you seen the price of a house there? If I ever decide to head to woop woop I want to trade in my very average south london terrace for a 6 bedder, swimming pool and a few acres at least and plenty other options in stockbroker belt /Kent offer that. Sorry - not about the Sun.... Can we get back to naked breasts now please?

"I've no particular urge to see the latest Hollyoaks starlet in a bikini" I couldn't agree more. *coughs*

The old guard east dulwich activist intelligentsia have been priced out. And they now live in Surrey, Sussex, Bromley and Whitstable. Raging and frothing from the benign suburbs.

Makes a change from seeing an "adult swing" turn up. Back in the day there was one of those (clean!) In every classified ads. That means at least one of you 40 to 50 plussers must have bought one in the eighties ....fess up.

*Takes bow* Has anyone been to the less flashy part of the French Med towards Spain? The Cote Vermeille?

Angus van f = estate agents. Prices are falling and the London crash is not too far off.

Me that is. Not Mick!

Seabag. Desperately trying to get into your knob-ometer here. Let me know how that one scored?

Why drive? The helicopter is only 300 euros.

Nice is right up there with Barcelona as the most likely first trip away you ever did with a new girlfriend if you are between 30 and 40 odds. Dawn of Easyjet. Happy memories.

Lol. Brilliant Seabag.

The STV feed is erratic because 1M Scots living outside of Scotland are hitting those servers hard because some fuckwit chose not to show it in England or wales at all. Major oversight.

You might not know it but there us a big debate tonight in Glasgow... Salmond versus Darling. Criminal that they are not showing it outside scotland but you can watch it on the STV online player now?. As politicians go?I've been up close to Darling and despite not being a massive Labour fan he's got integrity and is one of the best operators I've seen on his feet. Currently destroying Salmond against the odds.

Buying anything now for investment in east dulwich is johnnie come lately and smacks of "novice" tbh

Off topification. But anyone love American dive bars as much as I do? Big measures, hard drinkers, fairy lights, random blow ins and sassy wise cracking barmaids.

Expectations run so high in London where everyone's had too much of a good thing. There really is just no pleasing some people.

Thinking of places I've had shit food in my life...Estonia..shopping malls in Delamere...Some fake tourist place off Oxford Street. TGE is hardly one of them. Always been at least decent when I've been in.

Anyone been to the space invaders pub on rye lane yet?

I keep having really good straight up pub food in The Montpelier. Good ales there too and prefer the people generally. So thats my pick. EDT whilst the central staple/hub I find deathly boring drinks wise. Fine to meet for the odd drink but doesnt make me want to stay long. It can also be the most anonymous pub in ED punter wise. Totally random mix and very diff vibes on diff days. "Cocaine and Chelsea" Saturdays is always a favourite. To avoid. As Otta says, the rest in SE22 are all kind of self-styled / theme places. I enjoy all of them now and again but none really stand out.

What have they ever done to you? At least it's not about us "sweaties" this time round. I know the office is a bit quiet at this time of year but you can and must do better....some of the old fire? the fury? Isn't there a new pizza place opening? Or some dog shit on Fellbrigg to talk about? ARE WE NOW IN SILLY SEASON??
