Of course you will Darling 😸

I am away of the first Thursday of January, so the 14th it is. We haven't done Surma for a while, so lets start 2016 there. 7pm in the Bishop (for a change) and then to the Surma at 8pm.

Having enjoyed a few drinks beneath the regal Hartebeest, the Mirash provided a fine end to the Curry Club year. Eight of us in total, great meal and great company. Namaste!!

UPDATE .... Hartebeest

EDT. Right hand side. Under the Gnu.

Table booked for 8pm. Meet in the EDT at 7ish. XX

Excellent news. Looks like 9 people so far.

This Thursday curry lovers!!!!

It is one of the most pointlessly masturbatory thread for some time. I will continue to not really notice the planes that fly over our heads. Buses though, noisy buggers they are. Could we? Do you think? Could we?

Oh good grief.

How does being held captive make this chap an expert on anything other than being held captive? Otherwise its just platitudes about being nice to people who aren't Daesh and that will see 'em off. No fly zone? Daesh don't have any aircraft (that fly) so this would just allow them to trade oil and fuel over the borders without hinderance.

Surely every generation deplores the changes that they have seen and the negative impact of the new incomers and different generation of "the other"? Whether "the other" are different by dint of class, ethnicity, religion or region. Read Peter Akroyd's "Biography of London" to get a sense of the cyclical nature of these things. It would be interesting to know from those of us who are born and bred locals, when their families came to ED/ London? I suspect that there are few that can claim that their ED ancestry goes back into antiquity. My family are from the Staffs/ Black Country borders. They came from the same village, Cheslyn Hay, for many generations. My cousin went back through the records as far as he could. He gave up in the end. The only interesting things that happened were wars (they were all miners so didn't get called up) or pit disasters (my great, great Grandfather volunteered for the Army in WW1, survived 4 years in the trenches only to have tons of coal collapse on him in 1920) or the 'hoss maiming's which saw Arthur Conan Doyle come to the village to exonerate George Edalji. Otherwise, nothing. It was like The Shire, unchanging, unmoving. Unsurprising as Tolkein was raised in the west midlands. Do the local ED originals have similar deep, local generational roots?

Also - for those of us with Christmas jumpers - please feel free to wear.

Great!! Shellbell - you will be most welcome.

OK. 17th it is.

It would seem that a bigger station building is needed. Perhaps the size of the original station building, which is now a pub and a caf?. The easiest option would be to build a new entrance and exit on the opposite side of the current station and so ease pressure. Long term, bigger main entrance or possibly a second entrance on the current entrance side but one that gives direct access/ exit to the new overhead walk-way.

Not a huge response to this. Too close to Christmas? How about next Thursday instead, 3/12. That is back to the first Thursday of the month.

Well, he certainly has one now.

I think it is in the public interest, directly for the thousands of women he has apparently slept with, they all now know to get themselves tested. Ditto the people they have slept with and anybody they may have been otherwise intimate with. Also, it raises the profile of HIV. This does seem to have reduced in profile as it has moved from deadly to chronic in its perceived impact. Charlie Sheen's behaviour to date would seem to signal an entirely selfish motive for the public announcement i.e. to stop being blackmailed by the prostitute he slept with after his HIV diagnosis, however the wider impact could be positive. He is probably now bracing himself for a deluge of legal cases from his sexual partners post diagnosis, claiming physical and/or mental damage. I think Charlie may be seen in many more crap movies and reveal-all documentaries. He will need the cash.

Its going to be a Premier Inn effectively.

Festive frollicks at the Mirash as is traditional. 7ish at the EDT, 8ish at the Mirash.

😢

And we re-arranged specially for you 😕
