Late to the party but big love for the scouse! Sean x

have you been away for a few months WQ? The new crisp "flavours" were discussed here and the Duke is on the way to the Old Nuns Head in Nunhead...It was great then they got rid of the manager and now it's not good. And empty

AFN - we get it, you have a "thing" about the beeb - now stop dragging it into every bleedin' thread. Start a thread about it yourself and see how much support you get..

I'm neither pro nor anti JG (on balance) - but to answer knackered cow's question This short film gives pretty much where I'm coming from

* falls off stool! *

Half Moon in HH is delivering pizza to parts of SE22 - and from the one I had is based pretty closely on the Firezza pizza. Well lush it was.. I must try Keef's recommendation too

Wherever DM goes, that's where I'll be

Huguenot, you have been on immense form recently but I think you have missed the goal, Diana Ross style here sportbilly accepted the 2 big name chains as the estate preferring that to empty failed restaurants - he/she wasn't saying they were "failing the community" sportbilly's problem - and it's one I agree with is twofold. 1) Why, in an area like that patch of road is there not a space for a Franklins type operation - something above MOR fare for people who want something a bit special 2) yes Piaf is a chain (albeit a mini one), but whereas people know what they are getting in Pizza Express and Caf? Rouge (decent enough grub, if a bit pedestrian, and decent prices), Piaf is offering more - it has always tried to be the "cut above" restaurant with prices to boot. Once every 2 years I go there, to give it a fair crack of the whip and despite endless change-of-management and menu promises it is always pretty woeful. The food is dull to bad and the service is uniformly shocking So in the village, one's option for a meal out are 1) The Dog with it's mediocre M&B food - mediocre M&B food you can get anywhere 2) Pizza Express - decent pizza style grub but acoustic nightmare - plus you can get the food anywhere 3) Cafe Rouge - as above but with steak frites 4) Piaf - have a look at the mission statement on their website and compare that with the reality. Then cry. It is the only place in London that has made me genuinely angry when I've been there. And that has happend twice in the 8 years I have been here Surely the moneyed people of DV can expect and do better than this??

Yes it's Tony Christie yes it's a Human League song yes I have something in my eye Louise

errr archic - the only one resurrected the threads and arguments is you? Telling people to "let it be" over a week after "it" has been "let" is a bit.... y'know

yep sorry - problem with my PC - I thought JSW's message was the last posted Anyway, why is everyone still talking about this - don't you know you have been "encouraged" to talk about something a bit more mob-friendly? Bob be Quick

Blimey JSW, despots across the world would LOVE you!

I've spent the last couple of days looking EVERYWHERE for a f***, so I could give one, but alas, no joy

that will be why its in the lounge then tony

ok I didn't spell it right but pride makes me point out *Bob* didn't get there first http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,133501,134097#msg-134097

I was talking about "who_cares" DD. I don't believe I have said "boo" to you today

I also note that "who_cares" seems less bothered by people quoting others, judging by the lack of response to DD's quotathon today Judging by the 5771 PMs I received on the subject I'm not alone

The tragedy of Icarus is of course not what happened to him, but that no-one observed it

But worrying about things (constructively) is what we should do surely? It's one thing to say "well, previous problems have been sorted out by ingenuity" but it's moe true to say we often strike lucky, and that luck always runs out The current financial crisis was predicted by some only to to be told "sush - it's different this time - go away you jeremiah"

MM - Interesting takeaway from an article which includes the caveat: "However, scientists have warned against drawing false comfort from such findings. They point out that although levels will boost plant growth, other factors asso-rising CO2 ciated with climate change, such as rising temperatures and drought, are likely to have a negative effect. Semenov said: ?Global warming will increase the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events which may have a significant impact on crop productivity.? "

I find that a tad hard to believe - sorry you had a bad experience and all but I cannot imagine 2 pastries and 2 coffees being ?15 - I have been to Lucas many a time - I know they are not cheap but I would be hard pressed come up with that figure

And that sir, is partly what makes you a legend the fact that the 'ammers won probably hasn't hurt your mood tho, now has it?

It's about 180 inches away from the venue for the next drinks TP18 - you can't miss it

From season one, probably already shown on BBC ok, the language is slang-heavy, but this scene where some drug-dealers discussing their problems, switches to an analogy with chess is just brilliant - times x 10 when you follow the different arcs of the 3 characters in subsequent episdodes
