A beautiful song and a real tearjerker. BLUE SIDE OF LONESOME (Leon Payne) Jim Reeves - 1962 I'm calling to tell you it's over Yes, darling you're now free to go You're saying you're sorry you hurt me But you've hurt me much more than you know You're asking' me where this call comes from Oh, I hope that you won't end up here If you're new romance turns out a failure Here's where to find me my dear I'm just on the blue side of lonesome Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops On a bar stool, not doing' so well The floor has a carpet of sorrow But no one can weep in the aisle And they say someone broke the bar mirror With only the ghost of a smile The hands on the clock never alter For things never change in this place There's no present, no past, no future We're the ones who have lost in love's race I'm just on the blue side of lonesome Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops On a bar stool, not doing' so well.

I remember when Barry McGuigan won the world title against Eusebio Pedroza, the build up, his father singing Danny Boy in the ring before the fight, the fight itself, what a night. It's a beautiful song and I well up whenever I hear it.

Come on you guys keep up, Le Sulk is Nicolas Anelka.

Tis true Char!ie and we probably know each other if you're a regular like am too but they seem to have got their act together now since Dave's been away in Greece. It's certainly being run properly now and no running out of beer or cider and the shorts are back up behind the bar again. All good stuff and hope it continues in the same vein once he gets back, which is tonight I think.

When I first went to the Bishop in it's Forresters incarnation many years ago it had an upstairs pool room and very good it was too but I reckon it'll probably be a restaurant this time round. Only guessing mind. Anyway. FHT for the next drinks?

Lion poo was Asset *Bob*. She knows about these things.

See the thread on the November drinks.

During the summer Brendan although that's a bit of an oxymoron seeing as we didn't have much of one. Anyway it's looking good for the FHT. Anyone else?

That's unbelieveable! What a despicable bastard.(6)

Me too. Haven't been in the FHT for more than 20 years and haven't been in since the refit and feel we should give it a go. The Drum or CPT is an excellent idea for the Xmas party but the CPT would just swing it for me as it's bigger.

I ate a Ploughman's lunch once. He was absolutely furious.

Been there done that.

We haven't done the Forest Hill Tavern yet and think we should give it a go.

Forum jolly-up in local bar of choice once a month. Usually first Friday of the month. Everybody's welcome and a good time is had by all.

Swing Low Sweet Chariot was reissued on vinyl

You're quite right Ed-Pete, I stand corrected and I even had the blooming tee-shirt.

Yup, The Drum's dog Bluey is a really lovely little cutie. His owner Cooper who works behind the bar is smashing bloke from Aussie.

This one really gets me... Nick Cave/Barry Adamson - The Sweetest Embrace Our time is done my love We've laid it all to waste One thousand moonlit kisses can't sweeten this bitter taste My desire for you is endless and I'll love you 'till we fall I just don't love you no more and that's the sweetest embrace of all To think we can find happiness hidden in a kiss Ah, to think we can find happiness that's the great mistake there is There's nothing left to cling to babe There is nothing left to soil I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all Ooooh where did it begin When all we did was lose There's nothing left to win So lay your weapons down they serve no purpose in your hands And if you wanna hold me Then go ahead and hold me I won't upset your plans If it's revenge you want then take it babe Or you can walk right out the door I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all Ooooh where did it begin When all we did was lose There's nothing left to win It's over babe And it really is a shame We are losers you and me babe In a rigged and crooked game My desire for you is endless And I love you most of all I just don't want you no more And that's the sweetest embrace of all.

My dad used to sing Danny Boy to me as a child.

George Jones - She Thinks I Still Care. Just because I ask a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today She thinks I still care. Just because I hog the same old places Where the memory of her lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care. But if she's happy thinking I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer But how could she ever be so foolish Oh where did she get such an idea Just because I ask a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her, then went all to pieces She thinks I still care She thinks I still care.

Aaahh..beer, lovely beer. Far too many favourites to mention. But a quick mention in despatches for Fullers ESB, Harveys Best, Timothy Taylors Landlord, London Pride canned Red Stripe and a lovely pint of extra cold draught Guinness.

As you may have noticed Keef and I were hammered before we even arrived, well I know I was. Something to do with a good lunch date at the Plough followed by the footy in the CPT later in the afternoon methinks, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

So there'll be no need to reproach him.

Had a splendid lunch in the Plough yesterday, several pints of London Pride, Morroccan lamb chops on a bed of couscous and a very quaffable Australian Shiraz.
