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.

Hmmm.... what happened to those rape allegations against him?

When I see a ponytail on a man I want to get a pair of scissors and cut the fucker off.

I hate you Loz. ;-)

My ongoing hair loss. I had a lovely head of hair until I hit my 40s and now well into my 50s it is rapidly falling out. Grrr! Actually, that's quite rational isn't it?

So if those two players go to Spurs that's seven players gone and over ?120 million back into Southampton. Where's the money going?

Is his surname Head?

Err....Otta, they bought Diego Costa for ?32 million just a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like a backward step to me. He'll do okay but he's 36 now so why bother when you've got Lukaku?

As a teenager in '77 I hated all that crap and didn't go to any. Instead, you'd probably have found me and most of my age group speeding off our tits in the pub grumbling "bollocks to the jubilee" and playing the Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen at full volume to piss off the flag waving knobs.

Andy Carroll ruled out of West Ham's pre-season tour in New Zealand with a "sore ankle." Oh, the poor dear. Does it hurty Andy? Anyone want to start a book on how many games he actually plays next season?
