Well, basically I had a lousy education and came to them later on in life and perhaps that's why I have enjoyed them so much rather than have had them ramned down my throat at school. And, no I haven't or is there a punchline coming there Hugenot?

Camp as a row of tents he may be but it doesn't make him funny either.

I stopped reading Iain Banks's stuff after the The Crow Road or was it Espedair Street and I've never been into his science fiction stuff as most sci-fi bores me to tears, besides I prefer to read the classics from the 19th century whether it be English, French or Russian, for example, Dickens, Hardy, Baudelaire, Zola, Du Maupassant and De Balzac, Dostoyevsky, Gogol and Tolstoy. I read voraciously and obviously I enjoy a lot of more contempory stuff too and there is a lot to recommend but maybe I'll get back to you on that at another time.

Have you Tillie? That's great. What do you mean by whether Steve can hold his head up? Have you got a copy yet? I've just finished reading it again. Have you checked out the website? Sorry, this must seem like the Spanish inquisition.

Alan Carr is about as funny as cancer.(td)

Cheers Keith, point taken but check out Dylan, I didn't get into him until I was 32 and, I just love the Stones even if they have turned into parodies of their former selves but they still cut it live.

I think Keef, if we were to write all the lyrics out to our favourite top ten tunes it would take all day to read them. But I would suggest perhaps is to maybe just list the songs. Also, I can't believe theres no lyrics on here by the likes of Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Jagger & Richards, Lennon & McCartney all great lyricists but then I guess your demographic is for a younger generation than an old git like me. Cheers :)-D

Terribly sorry I missed your soiree at the CPT last Friday but I was otherwise engaged in a drinking marathon elsewhere. It would appear you all had a marvellous time so I must try and get myself along to your next jolly-up. The Clockhouse sounds a very good idea indeed especially with this lovely weather we seem to be having at the moment and I haven't been there in a while and it's always good in the summer to sit outside and watch the world go by. Also, I like Dulwich Mum's idea of backgammon as I am getting a bit too long in the tooth these days to be chasing a ball round the park like a young puppy dog, unless of course I'm allowed to smoke and drink at the same time that is.:)-D

I hate to piss on your parade but I thought This Life was a pile of poo.(td)

A guilty pleasure surely Mockney? Get it out of the attic and onto your decks. Long overdue for a remix I reckon. Maybe get Aphex Twin to do it.

Probably, but oh! she was damned gorgeous. A paragon of loveliness.

Well, I was thinking along the lines of a young Lesley Ann-Down...hmm scrumptious.

Pardon me but I was only thinking of the character in the books. I'm sure DM is far more glamourous than Ms Zellweger.

Hmm, if we're to going to go into the realms of fantasy of what we picture Dulwich Mum to be like I view the lady as a married-with-a-couple-of-kids-Bridget Jones-type and I mean that in the nicest possible way of course. She's obviously the star of this Forum after all.

Rejoice! I love Lorenzo's in Crystal Palace and a second one on Forest Hill Road is just what East Dulwich needs, a proper family run Italian restaurant. Yee Ha! I am delirously happy about this and can't wait for it to open. And within a short walking distance to home too. Marvellous.

Yes Keef and Crystal Clear, Beauberry House used to be called Belair House in that wonderful building in Belair Park. I could make a list as long as your arm as to how bad that place is, so thank God someone else was paying on the few occasions that I went there, not that I'll ever be going back again whether someone else is paying or not.

I was taken Zizzis in Beckenham last year and I can quite catagorically state that it was utter shite, but not quite as bad as Bella Pasta in the Village, so I am pleased that has now closed down, but I'm not overjoyed at the prospect of a Cafe Rouge as it's replacement. It seems rather odd to me that there isn't one decent restaurant in Dulwich Village and yes, I've been to Beauberry House and it was a pretty dreadful experience.

I'd just like to unashamedly plug my mate Steve Overbury's book: Guns, Cash and Rock 'n' Roll - The Managers. Out this week, it's about managers in the music business. I subbed the first draft and was the first to read it and highly recommend it. www.gunscashandrocknroll.co.uk

Sad but true Keef, sad but so very true.:)-D

Actually it was just the potatoes. I have to agree with you there Bob, onion rings and nuggets are vile.

Yeah, the Herne used to do that on Sundays before it got all ponsified.

Well done, Keef and Mockney. I'm glad somebody's got the concept of Tapas right. It's nibbles with your drinks. Something on the side to soak up the alcohol. By the way I can also endorse El Rincon Latino, haven't been there for a while though as Barcelona is down the end of my street and that's very good too and I can just stagger back home afterwards and save myself a cab fare. Cheers. :)-D
