WV = Wood Vale. Oops! Cross post.

Sad but true *Bob*.

Crikey, I go back to bed for a little snooze and all the once-a-week drinkers pop their head up over the parapet and discover their 'sense of humour.' I wasn't pointing the finger at you *Bob* in particular but it would seem to me a lot of people only go to the pub once a week to eat a Sunday roast with the wife and kids. How many threads have we had in the past on this forum that ask "where's the best place to go for a Sunday roast?" Quite a few I suspect.

See, that's just what gets my goat about the more recent pub goer in East Dulwich these days. They base their review of a pub on how good the fecking roast is.

Loved it in there during the 80s and 90s when it was a pub but now I firmly think of it as a restaurant. Never go in there these days. I suppose you've heard that Keith passed away recently, Louisa?

Yeah, this time next week you'll be out of the Champions League. Will you post something about that?

Scottish football eh Mick? Sorry it's the Daily Heil but I know you love all things Celtic. Celtic 1 Tottenham Hotspur 6. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2714050/Celtic-1-6-Tottenham-Roberto-Soldado-Erik-Lamela-Christian-Eriksen-target-Mauricio-Pochettinos-easy-win.html

He is these days.

Such fuckwittery. A boozer is for boozing.

I think he could play quite a bit. They have only one real recognised holding midfielder at the club; Fernandinho, and if he gets injured Lampard can fit in. They have plenty of games coming up in all competitions so the squad will need a bit of rotation. The big plus for them is that Frank is a proven winner and has bags of experience to pass on to the younger players.

The Bird In Hand is rough as old boots. It used be quite a good boozer years ago and I'm talking decades now. It's been rather sad to watch its decline over the years. A little known fact is that The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band played there regularly when they started out in the 60s.

This. Yes this. http://thequietus.com/articles/15899-the-fat-white-family-slide-in-for-palestine

I'm in.

I miss Hoopers too. Always a great selection of ales and a good place to watch the football. Loved the CPT and miss it terribly and though it took me a while I like the Expo now too but tend to only go there between 4 & 8. Same goes for Franklins. I'm an infrequent visitor to the EDT these days, spent most of my time in there in the mid 80s. Practically lived in there then. Only like it during the day time or for an early evening snifter now. I like the Gowlett, especially as it does Timothy Taylor's Landlord. Quite like the White Horse in Peckham, specifically for the Easycome music nights on Wednesdays. The George Canning is another place I like. Nice point of Guinness in there and the food deals are cheap and cheerful. Absolutely hate the Actress & The Bishop. Not keen on The Cherry Tree either. The Patch is overpriced though it's a vast improvement on its previous incarnation. Could do better. I occasionally pop into the Plough which is OK but nothing special. The Clock House, which I used to like quite a lot has now been ruined and has completely lost any sort of pub feel that it once had. The Herne? Nah. Used to like it in the early 90s but.. Anyway, further up road is The Rose (formerly FHT) which I want to like but just seems empty most of the time though that's not always a bad thing if you fancy a quite pint.

Oh him. Yeah, loud mouthed middle aged twat in a ponytail. The Castle is not the only pub he uses though, regularly spotted in the EDT and the Expo too. Supports Chelski. Says it all really.

But it has. NTV.

Apart from The Castle all the pubs in East Dulwich have become seriously homogenised over the past decade or so. Most of the bars I liked have either closed or been turned into something less appealing.

Ravel Morrison up on an assault charge and remanded in custondy for slapping and punching his girlfriend and her mother. Nasty piece of work. Do you still want him Irons? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-28581181

Didn't know that. I stand corrected. Maybe there is only three of them because they are all shit.

Really? Inside 72 replaced by Adventure Bar.

The difference is the Spurs signings had no Premier League experience. A big mistake on our part. I don't think Liverpool will have the same problems with their new signings as Spurs did.

Apart from the name I don't really see much difference between Liquorish and The House Of Tippler.
