*Asset, you really must try the Zombies in Black Cherry* *In the meantime have one of mine* *Old Fashioned coming up for Ant, cheers everyone*

The Mag has a big screen and several stratigically placed TVs around the pub and behind the bar. It's probably the one I use most for football but it can get awful crowded in there for big games. The CPT is great if you can get a seat at the bar and watch it on the telly above the door. Other times I'll use the EDT which is also pretty good too

*Finds enormous cocktail shaker, hoorah!* *Knocks up Zombies, pours into two huge jugs* *One for you and one for me, glug glug glug* *Anymore for anymore?*

LOL I haven't quite turned into Tommy Saxondale.:))

Yeah but that was a freebie Keef. I'll admit I liked them when they came out but they only had one good album in 'em.

Aha ha ha! Cheers Annasfield and Brendan. It's just my age you know and the times I've lived through. I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up. I'm still 17 in my head. Now did I ever tell you about the time I went to see Toots & The Maytals at the Venue in Victoria or Dr John at Dingwalls?>:D

That's the one Keef, Dave the Butchers. If it isn't 20 years it soon will be, you're probably right though, 15 or 16 years ago. I knew a guy used to work in there who got made redundent just before Sainsburys opened. Anyway, this thread bonkers isn't it. I'm off to the quiet room for a drink.

Yeah! Your're right there Annasfield. Earls Court has got the worse sound ever. Saw the Stones there in '76 and the sound was pretty ropey then but I was having such a good time at seeing them for the first time that I didn't really care. Then I saw Oasis there in '95 and couldn't believe that the sound was so dreadful. Haven't been back since. Mind you, who wants to go and see a band in a bloody aircraft hangar anyway?

Did you manage to go for 28 hours like Mr & Mrs Sting?*

*Hoorah! Drinks all round, thank f**k it's Friday* *Offers to get 'em in* *What's ya poison pals?* *Slips behind the bar and waits to take orders*

This week I've been listening to Max Romeo's Open The Iron Gate and his '67 to '76 Anthology and any minute now I'm off out to get the new P J Harvey album. Big fan of hers, got all her stuff. Just found out it's not out until Sept 24th. Doh!

Ahem; yes, young Rooney, he WAS potentially a great player. When he played in the hole in the World Cup at 17 before he got injured against Portugal you looked at him and thought that boy's got unbelievable talent and he's gonna be some player, but it seems to me that that is when he peaked. He doesn't seem to have progressed much and he still has an appalling temper, which makes him prone to getting booked and sent off. As for the Lampard v Gerrard debate. They can't player together and if given the choice of the two to play with A.N Other in England's midfield then it's got to be Gerrard. Nuff said.

Blimey, I didn't know that, must check it out, thanks old bean. Confused of Dulwich.:'(

*Pops head up from under duvet* *Neither Ant, it's La Bomba, Brandy & Chocolate* (Memories of holidays spent in Spain, La Bomba for breakfast) *Gets up rushes to bar, grabs bottle of Martell* *Swishes to fridge, grabs ice and bottle of chocolate* *Starts pouring and drinking in mad frenzy, offers one to Ant*

It's a while since I've been up there Sean but I agree the acoustics aren't that great are they? I much prefer the Shepherds Bush Empire or Bush Hall as I think it is now called.

Mockney, you know full well I drink my weight in pints, it's the rest of you who are letting the side down. I think you'll find that Scotland are collectively known as 6, 7 & 9. Surely they'd be right off the scale compared to bloody Luxembourg!!!!

Echoed Annasfield, been to some great gigs there and when it was the Town & Country Club too. My only gripe is that it's a bastard to get home from late at night.

Since when has Green & Blue been a pub? Are you mad? And Black Cherry, which I'm a big fan of is a bar, not a pub. Sun & Doves (almost ED)??? it's in the heart of Camberwell for God's sake. Now the CPT, that's a proper pub. Sorry if I'm sounding a touch pedantic but someone's got to put you straight.

Oh yes! That popular beat combo. Love that song, what's it called again...Hairway To Stephen?

I agree with you it's true these places are only down the road and perhaps a lot of the newbies are unaware of these places but why shop in Nunhead or Peckham when you have a perfectly decent butcher right on your doorstep.

But Louisa those butchers shops you mentioned were in Peckham and Nunhead. Where may I ask was there a decent butchers in East Dulwich? If my memory serves me right there hasn't been a butchers shop on Lordship Lane for nearly 20 years. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I must say that would seem the most sensible option Asset.;-)

You're having a laugh aren't you Sean? This doesn't sound like you at all. You been at the Oban again?

I'm sure there is one of those over here. I certainly remember reading about it somewhere a while back. And, when you've gotta go you've gotta go so of course I'd use it but I guess it would feel a bit weird at the same time.
