Who or what was thanks given to and why? This sounds interesting!

That's a terrible thing to happen to someone. I hope you've recovered from this dreadful ordeal. Re: sprucing up the punters, perhaps we could petition the powers that be for a more middle class variety of drinker? The current bunch are not exactly in keeping with the utopian image of ED that I was promised. Not exactly organic, if you catch my drift (although the irony is that they are, for the most part, locally sourced).

There is no irony intended, ????. Come along to Battersea Park and find out.

Hey, Cocksedge, Do you know if he plays Petanque? Perhaps he prefers 'Boule Lyonnaise'. (ugh. the mere mention leaves a bad taste in one's mouth).

Are you coming to Battersea Park tomorrow, Mockney? I think you should.

Popped in today to check it out, didn't stop for a drink as were breakfast time. It does look quite different but has been rammed all day. There were no pole dancers though. :-( Bit dissapointed.

Well are they? No. The London Petanque Associaton league is currently topped by 2 teams, each made up of French and Algerians. The bastards! Coming over here and taking our trophies! See the Battersea Park thread for details on how to exact your revenge!

Sorry for the late notice but have been in France, representing In-ger-land at the world cup (of Petanque) (we didn't win). Anyway, Ricard open triples, free entry, 1st prize a weekend at Chateau Ricard, South of France. Boules will be provided, everyone welcome. Registration closes at 11.30 sharp! PM me for further info etc. See you there Clack! Clack!

Anyone for Petanque?

Yes, it's another petanque thread. I'm off to Marseille in less than 12 hours to play in Mondial La Marseillaise a Petanque 2009 . Please wish me luck. Last year we got knocked out in the first round but got a nice write-up in the local rag and a bottle of Ricard. This year I'll happily settle for no write-up, a bigger bottle of Ricard and a few days of glory. Clack.

Leave im *Bob*! He ain't worth it!

If only 'internet tough guy' *Bob* wasn't divorced! The wife and kids could have been snapped as well.

It's the thread of the year. 'Hello' magazine have put up an undisclosed sum to do a photo shoot of 'internet tough guy' *Bob*, posing at home in dressing gown, slippers and laptop, being 'tough' on the East Dulwich Forum.

JKE, where and when did you hear this and do you mean Monday 13th? I've noticed the numerous workers have been doing very long hours. I assumed this Was an effort to meet the approaching launch date. Sounds like it won't be met after all.

It's supposed to be opening tomorrow (Friday) according to the owners. I understand that the original plans were just to smarten it up a bit, rather than change the business model dramatically. I can confirm that it does sell the finest guinness for miles.

I'm with Keef on this. There's a time and a place for hocus pocus, mumbo jumbo, herbal remedies but if you want to still get right on it then you can do a lot worse than bosh a handful of pharmaceuticals washed down with ale.

If I'd cut into the road suddenly I ran the risk of encountering the slow, dangerous traffic. I did a quick risk assesment And chose the safest, quickest option.

I'm afraid not, Kel. There are some bloody rude people on the streets. The more I think about it the angrier I get. What kind of example is this woman setting to the school kids? Some of them looked about school leaving age - if they use such language in front of prospective employers or college admissions deans, I can only pray for their futures. CitizenED - glad you emerged relatively unscathed (other than an ear bashing!). Clipping anyone or anything at speed can occasionally result in a tumble onto the tarmac. OAPs seem to be somewhat denser than their slight frames would have you believe and in the past I have had some unexpectedly nasty falls as a result of the most minor collisions.

I was cycling home from work this afternoon, trying to get back in time to make the most of the sunshine and have a few ice cold tinnies in the Dulwich library garden. As I turned right from Village Way into Dulwich Village, the traffic looked a bit sluggish and potentially dangerous for my liking so I hopped onto the pavement and bombed past the jam, skillfully weaving in and out of the Alleyns pupils as they trundled along at a snails pace. B) When I got to the parade of shops I cut across the pedestrian crossing, intending to zip past th Crown and Greyound and bomb through the park, only to be SHOUTED at by some jumped-up yummy with an oversized pram "Watch where you're fu**ing going! It's a crossing not a bloody bike path!" I skidded to a halt, almost stacking in the process but was so shocked by the unnecessary use of foul language I was unable to think on my feet (as it were) and come back with a witty and suitably cutting response. Anyway, just a warning to any other cyclists thinking of taking this super-useful shortcut. Watch out for this psycho yummy mummy and her guttermouth! (No doubt she drives a 4x4 to Sainsburys at Le Weekend)(6)

Hello Snorky.

I suggest that Sainsburys limit the number of children that any family (mother and/or father) are allowed to bring into the store to one at any time. If you insist on bringing more than the regulated number of children, you must pay a minimum of ?5 tax per child. The cost per child will increase by ?2 for every 2.5 centimetres each child is taller than the handle of a large sainsburys shopping trolley Nectar points can be claimed on the child tax.
