Michael Palaeologus

Give us a time and we could all turn up to provide moral support ..

I will be elsewhere sadly ...

We have a Neros and a Starbucks at Sainsbos, so perhaps Costas will grace us with their presence?

I too arrived and left earlier. I was amazed at the number of people who were there and the numbers flooding in as we left. ED could host it - but we have the Irish Festival, what need we of something else? BBW - did you find some nice boneys to chew den?

"it seems he's associating with a shopgirl" I happen to know the young lady in question and she is in no way a "Shop-girl". How very dare you Sir! That is not the comment of a Gentleman and you are black-balled from the Club.

A Canterbury Tale

Let us not be too hard on the Gentleman Driver. He may be a cad (a chap who knows no better) but not a bounder (a chap that does know better yet has bounded above his station) as such he can be redeemed with a firm hand on the shoulder and some well meant words of guidance from a Gentleman of repute. I point out that the Lady with him is clearly a virtuous flower of English womanhood who must have seen some finer qualities in him, no matter how deeply buried. With time, patience and copious quantities of cold baths and brilliantine some progress may be made. I have looked at the Norfolk based organisation and note that some of the jackets have a positively continental cut and one of the chaps wearing them is clearly a stranger to the Barbers, thus I have dismissed the establishment without further thought. I shall visit the High St Ken establishment as recommended by the marvellous Mr Carnell who is both a Gentleman and a Public Servant of the old school.

Shall we do the next Curry Club on 24 August? Any later and I am otherwise engaged. How about the East Dulwich Tandoori?

Fine fellows. Those that are to join the Tweed Army of East Dulwich. A snifter in the Plough tomorrow I think. Should I take up a pipe do you think? I was thinking of some of those brushed cotton, cheque shirts and possibly a few cravats (paisley). Too much do you think?

Not in ED, but we have had Forum drinks there, so, it counts. Anyway, Went past it on the 40 at about 8.30 this evening. It was shut. Have I missed something?

Sadly I am as yet unspoken for and so am flying solo on the wardrobe front: indeed on a number of other fronts. I rather took to the tweed jackets that I saw in Edinburgh last weekend. Although the Scots had made a valiant attempt to hide them behind a mass of the most God-awful Touro-trash accompanied by the cocking awful abomination that is "Bag-rock" as played by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. Scots, hang your heads in collective shame! Anyway, I quite liked the tweed and have oft fancied a jacket for those long winter nights, sitting in wood panelled pub, next to a roaring fire, beside a roaring woman. They are quite pricey new and I thought a pre-worn, previous owner croaked in-situ garment might be a bit cheaper and would come with patina. I shall take the advice of Mr Carnell who, when wearing clothes in his off duty hours, is a tweedy of Girls Aloud proportions. Although, I am not a standard shape and lack Mr Carnell's towering form.

"As ever I'll be the cross between Fr Ted and Paulie from Sopranos" Yes but with an additional air of mystery ..

Having reached a certain age I am thinking that I may focus my sartorial style on that of an Engish Gentleman. To that end I was wondering where one would go to find the appropriate clothing? But on a budget. Tweeds would go down well, autumnal colours going with my flaming riah and peaches and cream complection.

"BELLENDEN BELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I dont like the changes. There are too man sections and it is impossible to keep a track of what is going on. The drop down menu is just too long ...

I will be there ...

I think that the original tunnel stopped half way up the Walworth Road because of the water table issues. That section is now used by the Bakerloo Line to turn trains around, storage and as stables for tiny Unicorns that are used on ceremonial occasions. The focus on overground track (London Overground, the cross river tram, etc) is related to the problem of underground development in our area. Little ever happens because we are south of the river and so do not figure in the minds od London's political classes, unless there is an election looming or they have a 2012 Olympics to justify. Still 10 out of 10 for trying.

The Potting Shed for gardening matters The Library for literary discourse The Box Room for discussions that cant be put anywhere else The Dungeons for those people that would otherwise be banned The Bothie for those of Celtic inclinations The Kop for Scousers and Plastic Scousers The Long Room for cricketers The Kirk for the christians The Saddlery for those who like the feel of leather

"Ate the shortbread. Fancy some Tablet? Traditionally handmade in Beijing apparently"

What is it about clowns though? A colleague of mine is terrified of them, hates them, runs a mile from them. She had tickets to the latest Take That tour and had to give up her ticket when she discovered that theme was "Circus" and Gary Barlow was dressed as a clown. Funny, I know, but not for her. I know that each clown has their face registered at the Variety Club, each face is painted on the shell of an egg and placed with them for safe keeping.

"Och Aye the Noo my wee pals. Krivens! I have just returned from Edinburgh, do you like my kilt? The baby pink and chocolate tartan and empire line is quite the thing with the Japanese clansmen gathered on the Royal Mile eating traditional haggis in a basket and traditional Scottish Ice-cream as made by Paulo McGelato" "As DM well knows I do not wear any form of intimate garmet next to my nethers, no matter who it is owned by" "Gimme a pink Gin"

Will there be meat options for those that chose not to eat veg?
