latest update is that reattachment of the zizzi,s one has taken place.if its turns out to unsuccessful it will have to be reamputated.

kids in pubs/restuarants is a obviously a sore point with many of you but somehow i feel that parent(s) bringing little jack or jill in for a bite to eat is more than acceptable.you have to appreciate that at their tender age they do tend to lack the finer aspects of pub etiqutte and may from time to time be a little loud and disruptive but if you pays your way!!!! where i draw the line is when you have 6 snotty nosed brats all < 2yrs old let loose in an establishment and fed a diet of crisps and coke while their 19yr old parents gently absolve themselves of all responsibility in a lake of alcopops and marlboro lights throughout the course of the day.thats wrong.

Nero yeh they were probably left home alone while mum and dad had a great night down the club chuckling away to the harmless humour of bernard manning et al.

think thats more for number 1s rather than number 2s.

how about montparnasse,for there enough people on this site with their heads up theirs.

whats wrong with the yilmaz for a late night top-up,same with the vale which has always been handy for a late one even in its previous incarnations eg hamlet,manor,cherry tree etc.can be a bit rough and ready but hey at 2 in the morning when the drinks are flowing wheres not.

nought wrong with the harvester,yep its bog standard fare but its cheerful and plentiful,with as much as you can eat off a fairly impressive salad cart thrown in.last thing we need is another clone of the rest of the ed pubs for the to quote new dulwichites.the harvester has been there long before they arrived in town and long may it continue to do so.

prams prams prams and buggies for that matter,until evolution evolves to the point when a sprog can walk out of the womb,will always be about so get used to it and stop whinging.

maybe it was the uptown boyz,getting some cash to supply the downtown girlz wit bling innit.

i presume you were successfully treated for them.

is that place in peckham still going,used to pop in for a pie and mash many moons ago but havent been recently,nice bit of knees up muvver brown if ever i saw one.

there,s two types david the ones from tayto castle in tandragee co.armagh and a brand of the same name made in the south the tayto castle ones are in the traditional yellow pack and the southern ones are in a red pack.have to disagree with sean og tayto cheese n,onion knock spots off anything else on the market,saying that im also quite partial to their wuster sauce flavour and spring onion(scallion) flavours as well.but they,re hard to get hold of. still i can survive as long as i have my club orange and kimberly,mikado and coconut creams all washed down with a mug of corks finest-barrys tea.best thing to come out of cork apart from sean obviously.

is it just me or do you not have to be 60+,conservative and have a blue rinse to be in the wi.

what type of tayto sean og,southern or northern,being an armagh man myself theres only one type of tayto and thats the original and best from tandragee in the orchard county,not that inferior southern imitation or even worse than that kings.

have to second springers myself, always has been top class food in a classy bistro type establishment,good wine selection and nice little bar area.first place i went to in ed many moons ago and still tops my list,highly recommended.

hopefully they,ll throw the whole place in the skip, can,t stand it,once got served a pint of fizzy guinness in there which if you,ve never tried i dont recommend.
