I go away on a four day bender and can't believe what has been said about our lovely Keef. Keef is a geezer, a lovely bloke, top man, a gent. So there!!!

No two ways about it, Keef is a lovely man, top bloke, salt of the earth. So there!

I'm all for the campaign for real pubs but the Silver Buckle, your having a laugh aren't you.

ignore that last contribution from me I'm off down the pub anyway.

who started the limerick thread

Well, I'm certainly not saying "oh well". I think its f**king outrageous. No way have I become de-sensitized to it. Too many cowardly little shits walking around with guns and knives thinking they're some sorta big gangsta bwoy stabbing up and killing each other. Stop the violence.

The limerick skills of the EDF have sadly gone astray but these things tend to happen when Tillie Trotter is away.

It's nothing to do with edginess, this sort of thing goes on in the Village as well and I'd hard call that edgy would you?

and much to my surprise

Good call Ben, love Pete N' Dud's "Bit of chat" sketch. Seen it loads of times, still makes me laugh like a drain.

Thanks...if we're going that far back I'll go even further and add Lord Byron.

I caught most of Cork v Waterford game in the Castle on Saturday, inbetween games of pool. Marvellous Guinness they do in there. Cracking entertainment.

"Once known as Primrose Hill"...Good grief, now there's posh.

How thoughtful of him... what a terrible thing to do.

I heartily agree that the potential 15 point ban is very harsh indeed and you're probably right SimonM that West Ham fine must still rankle with you Sheffield United fans. That whole affair quite frankly absolutely stinks.

I can't be certain David but I'm pretty sure I had a pint of that or something sounding very similar in the Dog in Dulwich Village on Saturday afternoon and bloody splendid it was too. It was on draught by the way.

Leeds United! Oh you poor man...you have my deepest sympathy. God! it must be tough. I have an ex-girlfriend who was a Leeds fan and it's very sad to see such a big club, although hated by so many in the Don Revie days, go into what would look like almost terminal decline.

I agree with you there Sean. I can think of three or four people that I knew who commited suicide years ago and the feeling is definitely one of anger at the selfishness of such an act in their cases apart from one. A friend of mine had a nervous breakdown and quite frankly went quickly downhill soon afterwards and was diagnosed as a paranoid schizoprenic. He hung himself at the age of 25. It was ten days before his body was discovered. It still fills me with great sadness as he was such a lovely bloke before his illness.

Touche! Annasfield. What an amazing match that was. It had everything.(tu)

I have played both games. I was an opening batsman for a local pub team (The Dog) many years ago and played for my school where Mike Edwards, a former opening batsman for Surrey alongside the great John Edrich was a teacher and my housemaster. But, as much as I do enjoy watching the occasional Test match I prefer the one day matches which are much more entertaining but it still, for me personally, for pure joy and excitement does not come close to football. Come on you Spurs!!!

Sean, as much as I enjoy the rivalry between Spurs and Arsenal I think that's very naughty of you. Relegation for you now mate.>:D

I'm liking this positivity on the forum about Spurs being dark horses. I'll be in one of the ED pubs early Saturday to watch the Sunderland v Spurs match and I already have a ticket for the first home game against Everton on Tuesday night. Yee har! Cant's wait. Okay much as I'd like Spurs to win the league I'm pretty sure we won't. We've always been a good cup team and that's where our chances lie. Still I think this year we could make the top four and here's my prediction. Man Utd Chelsea Spurs Liverpool I think the Arsenal are in a transitional period although they'll still be a tough propostion for anyone. I've enormous respect for Arsene Wenger who took them from being "boring boring Arsenal" to a team that plays an entertaining and fabulous passing game in much the same way that traditionally the likes of Spurs, West Ham and Liverpool have done for decades. Roll on Saturday. And for the cricket bores. Get your own thread.:))

Yes, Keef, Malcolm. Very sad. It was an accident. I'll tell you about it on Friday at the drinks.

I always thought it looked a bit like legoland but have grown to like it and I have a perfect view of it from my flat even though a pal of mine fell to his death there many moons ago after having too much to drink.
