Tis only a delivery place s'far as i'm aware. And a *cough* chain to boot. But if anyone starts a 5 page thread on the place i may cry

it is in 9 minutes

I am in awe if you do this

Real Sociopath is me....

now this is wehere a webcam would be VERY useful....

Madworld, be careful what you wish for. London does pretty well with crime considering it's history, size and poulation. Give me 2007 above 1907 anyday in this town. Mark is correct to caution against overreacting - it may appear from time to time that things are getting out of hand, and no-one should advocate passive acceptance - but having a sense of perspective is hugely important. Is it really getting worse, and if it is, is it not just one of those temporary blips than happen? Some things seem to me to be getting worse (public manners) but many other things seem a lot better (violent crime is down, burglary is downetc - that doesn't mean it won't happen to me or you, but if we are saying things are getting worse, well.. that's not wholly accurate) As for moving out to the sticks (wherever that is...) I find town centres in even the smallest British towns far more frightening than anything I see in London. If sleepy Devon can scare me on a Saturday night (as it did last week) then give me London any day Oh - and what were all the locals talking about? Crime, shootings, blah blah. The weirdest stories and the most horrific crimes I read about in the national press always happen in Sleepington, Humfordshire or somesuch Stick with us dear, you'll be fine

* cough * Although I did see a marvellous incident one night when I was staying in a hotel there - to be recounted later at the Plough methinks

At time of writing this, the other threads are overflowing with bonhomie - if half the people make it tonight it could be a blinder Georgia - do we have an area booked and is it indoors or outdoors? No worries if there isn't the place is mahoosive anyway

Am indeedy - and I never even got to see the sea!

I never mentioned your name young lady - but thanks for stepping forward ;-)

alas Louisa I am at work otherwise I would be there like a shot - tonight will see me arrive at 8ish - and why can't Mr Louisa come as well? Plenty of people drag along/lie to get their partners to come (mentioning no names M........)

to be fair dare now girl I'd have to shay dat Cork people would have de upper hand on the old strange accent ting like... not only do we have de usual Irishisms but we have to talk in a very sin-songy way you know like???

Good should indeed MAdworld - and cheers to everyone either drinking now (* eyes narrow in jealousy*) or this evening - I should make it about 8ish

it's wasabi nuts all the way for me bawdy-nan - !

Alan - you mention "privilege, nepotism and inheritance." - is it not possible for people in their 30s to have a hard-working background but whose money comes from not having kids, or maintaining a car but prefer to spend their money on clothes that aren't made in sweatshops somewhere? Why resent that sort of person, or assume they are privileged? (not that I am a fan of privilege you understand - just pointing out it shouldn't be assumed)

Must. Never. Post. From. The. Onion. i lose too much time!

Ok lets see. . Franziskaner weiss bier and scineider weisse beers are the ones at the plough

I could call you many things Louisa (all of them good of course ;-)) - but sentimental? Actually you could be right But rejoice - Walsh Glazing are still in business! And with probably much reduced overheads too. Win - win situation?

* cue pointed silence from Mockney * ;-)

Annasfield - stop being so cheeky ;-) Louisa - I think you've probably described it accurately but as I've said it's not really in competition with anything is it? And I definitely think that passing by on LL is now far more pleasant than the boarded up skeleton that has been there for so long

Jah - I'd swear the Plough has the same (being related and all) and I'm sure someone posted the full range of drinks available in the Plough somewhere on here but I can't find it alas

There is a pub on the Peckham/New Cross border where beer is SOLD by gnomes

Indeed Jah - it's the sense of "waste" that fuels the anger partly That all said I wonder if anyone reading this thread has ever considered suicide - I bet it doesn't feel selfish

that wsn't a recycle of this story was is Michael? West Dulwich. Happens all the time apparently

* cough * ** Splutter ** Do you mean Amazing Grace? "a bit shoddy" doesn't begin to cover it. There is more stock in the back of Mrs Robinson clothes-wise If I was worried about libel laws I wouldn't say that it is a fr... [snip. again.]
