My dad passed away last year and we had The Dubliners doing The Wild Rover for him, on CD I hasten to add. It was a song he loved to sing and was more or less his theme tune. I got everyone to sing it in the pub afterwards as well with yours truly leading from the front. We celebrated his life not his death and everyone had a good time. It's what he would have wanted.
I'll try my best not to Brendan. May have to go to the CPT soon though. Wonder if they need any extras? (sorry slip of the tongue, oh! there I go again, these double entendres just keep slipping out) Will they pay us in beer?
Many apologies Jeremy for my sweeping generalition of rugger bugger type names but I think you get my drift. And, good man for pacing yourself. One has got to know one's limitations. "One", sorry I'm speaking posh myself now. I may well do the royal "we" next. This could be headed for the lounge methinks. CPT CPT CPT!
You can borrow skins off me anytime Mr Admin. As for Krosfyah, what the hell is an Oeuf shirt? Is it covered in oeufs? Anyway, I'll be the one pointing at you and laughing. By the way, are you Rod Liddle in disguise?
You didn't miss much Keef. I had a flat around the corner from The Heber at one time and they had some right ropey stripers in there some lunchtimes. To be honest it was a bit of a dump.
It's quite probable I'll be taking in several venues tonight. I love a bit of a pub crawl me. Good job we have plenty of decent bars to go to in East Dulwich if one feels the urge to go out on the lash.

You have my sympathies Brendan, but I think you'll appreciate the beer even more once you finally get to have some. I know the first pint won't even touch the sides when I finally get to have mine.:)-D
God! I hate that sort of behaviour. I have to get a P4 (which is OK) or a 185 (which is not) to Lewisham most days to get to the DLR for work and quite often you'll get those sort of stroppy teenagers trying that one on in Catford or Lewisham on the way back home to Dulwich. I'm not a violent man but I once came quite close to biffing one of 'em on the nose for holding up the bus like that. The little buggers wouldn't get off, fortunately a couple of other people had the same idea and once they realised they were outnumbered by furious passengers they finally got off. Scumbags!(6)
Obviously, geography wasn't their strongest point at school. Hmmm...It's Poets Day and already I'm beginning to feel the lure of the beer. Only a few more hours to go. Christ I'm gagging for a pint.
What! Rugger buggers in the CPT??? Surely not....They should head straight down to the Dog if that's what they're after. Always packed full of 'em when the Five Nations is on.

Great pics on there EDA. Loved the pictures of the "Concrete House" in it's former glory and it's surprising how little Underhill Road has changed though.
Top choice Catgirl. I read William Boyd's Any Human Heart a few years back and it is one of those unputdownable books that you don't want to end. Also if you want something that's fun and you can quickly wizz through a good one is William Sutcliffe's Are You Experienced.
I was called a "silly man" by Louisa in her thread about "mad Lizzy" which I thought was rather uncalled for but then I suppose she's not far wrong as I do have a penchant for silliness. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
