What Kate Lawler or Lidl? Sorry this is veering off thread. Right! Woolich closing down...bah!

Ha ha ha...Kate Lawler! the chav queen of Beckenham, or should that read the slagheap of Beckhenham...you choose. And by the way what the hell is a Lidl anyway, damned if I know.

Only small parts of it Louisa, when was the last time you went up the High Street? They still have a few pubs like the old Plough and Forresters yobs getting lairy, fist fights at closing time etc etc.

So the old Plough would have been right up your street then Bleep. I think to be fair it's still early days yet for the "new" Plough. You can't expect things to change overnight just because a pub has had a refit but time will tell and good luck to the people running it.

Yeah me too, especially with the way the weather's been over here recently.

Ah! Cookie, pure genius. Pet Shop Boy made a whole career out of that track. Cheers Ben.>:D

Hmmm, the decor looks a little dodgy but chairs look like they have come from an old people's home. Not impressed, will have to have a closer inspection.

Well, the way the weather is at the moment you'll be lucky to get seven minutes.

Half a cow? Is that a rack of ribs and then you ride the rest home Brendan?:)

You've made a good point there Mockney about the Dog's popularity on a Sunday lunchtime. It's probably the one day that I tend to avoid it, or I'll pop in later on when all the families with kids who have gone there to eat have buggered off back home and I can get some elbow room at the bar and get the drinks in.

Oh! come on Ant the food in the Dog's not that bad. It's certainly improved from a few years back when Barney and his Mrs were running the place but then again I only go to the pub to drink because that's what they are primarily there for, if I want to eat out I'll go to a restaurant. Still, I may well pop in and try out the "new" Plough soon enough and will report back.

*Wakes up from stoned, dreamy slumbers, almost choking half to death on moth that has flown into mouth from Keef's wallet. Recovers quickly, soothes throat with coffee and fags, realises am late for work again and makes a dash for the door.*

Non-smokers die every day.

*Rolls another and thinks "blimey I'm bit stoned maaan and have now got a serious attack of the munchies. Sends out for pizzas, and peruses the Quiet Room's record collection before finally settling on Lee "Scratch" Perry's Roast Fish, Corn Bread and Collie Weed. Seems rather Apt. Starts skanking round the room with blissful smile on face.*

*Sparks up massive spliff, takes a few tokes on the heavenly herb and passes it to Keef.*

NTV, I believe is the term on here isn't it. Yes, the Vale is a horrible soulless place but I'm going to agree with Louisa for a change and say get rid of that revolting Harvester and restore the Grove Tavern to it's former glory.

*Pops head in the door...aah somewhere where I can still have a fag and a drink at the same time without getting my collar felt. Marvellous! Orders a couple of Zombies, hands one to Keef. Anyone mind if I skin up?*

That's easy for you to say Keef.

The way things are going, soon you won't be able to smoke in your own house. The cops will be outside with a loudhailer "Come out with your cigarettes above your head."

I'm dying for cigarette.

Aah Keef, you can have a slurp of my Zombie any time but the only sensible time to leave the pub is closing time. Rules is rules.

Tillie, I am appalled you forgot to mention that I was also in TBC...and drinking with you too...met Mark who said "hello" and spotted the charming and handsome devil that is F & B. In fact I went two nights in a row and got absolutely hammered on each occasion...in fact I've been pretty damned hammered all weekend. I feel like death today. I'm a Zombie! Must give my liver, kidneys and pancreas a well earned rest this week before the weekend comes and do it all again.:)-D

Oh whoopee do and whey hey hey!

Just remembered - penny up the wall, also played cards, Black Jack mostly.
