Has anybody been to this event before? It looks quite interesting. It is on this coming Sunday. Russian Winter Festival

Excellent. I will oil by bat.

Your concern for your flat mate is heart warming >:D

Poor Kezzathelezza she will never be able to get rid of that handle, Sean McG, hang your head in shame, you and your green editing abilities!

Over a weekend I often cook a big batch of something - bolognese, casserole, etc. I freeze most of it and these then make handy meals during the week. Also: Use lemon juice to clean your family jewels, it may sting a little - but they smell nice and zesty afterwards.

Is it on?

The ED centre was closed for repairs (part of the roof blew off) but is to have c?2million spent on it. The plans look very good and can be seen just outside the entrance to the gym. Dont know if it will mean a complete closure though.

I was heartened by the maturity of the attendees who opted for a relatively early return home on a school night :)) It was a very jolly night, given that at least 2 of us were on various types of water all evening. Ten attendees (the best yet, well, out of 2) and as Sean noted 2 new faces were very welcome and clicked straight in as hardened japesters, drinkers and curry monsters. The service was good, the restaurant was quite full when we arrived and so we stood around for 5 minutes while the Waiters moved furniture around and created a big table for us. After that service, drinks and food flowed well with no excessive waiting for things. Strangely the menus smell of rose water/Turkish delight. Decor is pleasant and unobtrusive. Nothing on the menu immediatly jumped out at me as a "must try". Most of the dishes can be found on many other menus in curry houses up and down the land. The food was on the whole average for the area - that is it was good but I think that some found their food rather bland. Apart from the super hot chillis, three of which caused Mockney Piers (a chilli-fiend) to go a little pink and damp about the face. I had the Green Chilli Chicken Massala which had chicken in it, was spicy and was very very green. A bit too green really, it looked rather odd but tasted nice without being memorable. Vegetable side dishes and breads were again on a par with anything you can get on LL. The onion bhajis were concidered very good being balls of lightly fried, crunchy and spicy spicy onion, better than most After the main course Hibbs' Flatmate did something amazing, she asked for the desert menu!. The Waiters had not done the usual trick of sticking the desert menu under our noses as soon as they had whisked the plates away - so Brownie points to them for that. The exotic fozen pudding was a glorious confection that was reported as being "delicious" and just what chilli battered taste buds needed. All in all and excellent evening in good company in a restaurant that can hold its own with its local curry house competitors without standing out.

Nodding manically.

Um - cant remember. Is it on the website?

I would pop in and have a look - they let me have a look around. You can either pay per swim or join as a member. I pay ?40 per month for the gym and pool. The pool is a community pool so has lots of different users in times slots and they police this strictly. If you look at the Fusion website you can download the timetable. ED Fusion

Well, there is the ED Swimming Baths on East Dulwich Road - by Goose Green. They do adult repetition lengths that, as memory serves, starts at 8.30pm. It is a Victorian pool and is somewhat dog eared, but i use it and dont have a problem with it.

Ham and low fat cream cheese bagel and banana.

We may have to retire to a public house to replace vital bodily fluids afterwards.

My first post: "Wotcha. Can a newbie parachute in on the 27th?" Inviting myself to an early EDF Drinks meeting. Somethings do not change. It was a bit scary, but worked out well.

Bobby Ewing? Surely not ...

As a reminder. We are meeting tonight in Franklins tonight at 7.30 before going on to the Curry Cabin. Laters

So, what shall we do? I guess the first thing is to find out if they have courts available next week.

But when she did she managed to shock CWALD to silence - what an entrance!

and will help revive the rope-manufacturing sector.

Pish and tush Annaj your posts are robust and finely crafted - you've even used rude words.

Yay!

(Whispering) There, there old boy, lets get you back to your room ....
