"Drop-ins welcome." How about drop-outs?

I'm quite the guy who wrote it really doesn't know what he's talking about. No one has gone into a bar in 30+ years and ordered "a pint of best." I found it quite amusing nonetheless.

That might be so but you can't possibly know that.

The Emperor's new booze. Quite an amusing piece on craft beer. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/10638933/Am-I-the-only-man-in-Britain-who-hates-craft-beer.html

BLOODY TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR! This is an article by Theo Delaney published today in The Sabotage Times and sums it all up for me. Spurs: How Bad Does It Have To Get Before Classless Tim Goes? How has it come to this? Spurs started the season with a hundred million pounds worth of new talent in the charge of a manager who?d just achieved their highest ever Premier League points total. By the end of September the team was nicely poised in third place in the league and scoring freely in the Europa and Carling Cups. Last night Spurs were completely outclassed at home by Benfica a side that had to sell 70 million euros worth of players in January due to financial difficulties and actually rested several of its regular starters. This after a 4-0 humbling at Chelsea and a string of awful performances that leave the fans in fear of the ultimate humiliation ahead of Arsenal?s visit on Sunday. Chief culprit, of course, is beleaguered Tim Sherwood who combines tactical cluelessness with a willingness to shatter team spirit in his efforts to blame anyone but himself. He spent the aftermath of the Chelsea debacle shouting loudly that it was all the players? fault, not his. Last night, perhaps realising that rubbishing the team can start to rebound on a manager when the performances just get worse, he turned on Jorge Jesus, the Benfica manager whose exuberant celebrations he took exception to. The irony of Sherwood accusing his Portuguese counterpart afterwards of ?lacking class? won?t have been lost on many. But what?s the point of continuing to bash Sherwood? He got the job by accident and he?s not remotely good enough, these are the simple facts. His charmless, out-for-himself approach merely exacerbates a bad situation. The horrific possibility now is that a highly motivated Arsenal side will arrive on Sunday with the scent of blood in their nostrils. It?s very hard to see how Spurs can raise themselves sufficiently to avoid being swept away. Would there be any point in firing the manager before the season?s end? Probably not. On the other hand, how bad would it have to get before the sheer scale of the humiliation forced him out? Despite Sherwood having the brass neck to complain that there was a gulf in quality last night this Spurs squad remains of a high standard. A good manager ? even a half way decent one ? could get it competing again at a high level. At least that prospect is something for the fans to cling to.

Joe Strummer was a posh boy slumming it, or should that be strumming it? Always felt he was a bit of a fake. Whereas all of the Pistols were proper working class boys from council estates and they meant it man. As for lyrics Lydon wrote some gems. "Cheap holidays in other peoples misery," from Holidays In The Sun. and "We're the flowers in the dustbin," from God Save The Queen are a couple of great lines that spring to mind.

Lovely part of the world ClareC. I have friends in Benenden, Cranbrook, Tenderten and Kinardington. Quite a few of them ex-Dulwich people.

Yep, read that this morning. The cabbie said he'd never seen anyone so drunk. Winker!

You must be thinking of somewhere else as there are no houses opposite. That little row of shops on Wood Vale overlook Camberwell Old Cemetery. Two Trees was good. Do wish the owners would reopen or at least do something with that space. Love the Turkish Supermarket too.

Yep, typical.

I'm going to Spurs v Benfica tonight and back to the Lane again for the north London derby. I can't say I'm filled with confidence in either game.

Ooops!

"I heard a rumour about Oztuma." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26550146

Nah! Ya fucked. Lived up that end for many moons and it has always been shite.

Agreed. Especially that first one where he went through five or six Bayern defenders. The boy has definitely got talent.

Mac might have a point though. I can't see Ozil on current form putting a foot in in the heat of a London derby, can you? I reckon Wenger is taking him out of the side for a bit. Probably needs a rest. Poor chap.

"You'd have to be slightly dim to take everything she says seriously 100% of the time." But people do. Never underestimate how slightly dim the general populace is. Katie Hopkins is a vile and poisonous cunt who is paid to be controversial. I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire. Is that controversial enough for you? Anyway, we've gone right off topic here and I'm surprised this thread hasn't been whooshed to The Lounge. So, The Draft House... still closed, nothing much happening. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The signal has always been lousy around there.

Seven-Up or a good lemonade. Tonic water for a gin or vodka.

Top four went when we lost to Norwich away. Agree though, he's a dead man walking.

Try The Castle on Crystal Palace Road.

He probably should have kept that thought private. You can lose a dressing room with a comment like that. Still, he's young and learning on the job. The way the team capitulated after playing so well for an hour showed that he had made a good point. There aren't enough strong characters in the team. The ride home on the coach would have been interesting.

You're not from round here are yer.

Bugger Bognor!
