You can be whatever you like Keef. I was a frustrated musician myself once, now I'm just frustrated.

Tragically, I work in the media and publishing. I'm quite artistic too. I'm not helping much here am I?

I had no idea about her accent as I was only really on nodding terms with them. I live a few doors up from the house and would invariably bump into them now and again. They seemed a very nice couple.

Mr Hancock and his Iranian wife and kids moved a couple of years ago. There is a young family living in the house now.

Yes, the biggest house on the left 50 yards past Oddbins as you head towards the park. Opposite Pickwick Road. They were spotted in the Dog at around the same time so it could have been true, but it has passed into Dulwich myth and legend.

I know the lane that you're all talking about here, and before you ask I don't indulge in such practices, it's been like that since the 60s. It used to be known as Lovers Lane then. It's the road that leads up to the Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club just before the Toll Gate. I do hope this has put you out of your suspenders. Whoops! Sorry, Freudian slip. Oh! there I go again. I'll get me coat.

Well, for the most part I think he's talking out of his arse. Sure, it could cut up a bit rough in the old days but I've always been a bit chameleon like and managed to blend in wherever I am without too much trouble. If he thinks ED is so bad I wonder what he would think about certain parts of Peckham, Camberwell and the Walworth Road.

Terribly sorry Dulwich Mum but sometimes I just can't help myself. I do love to lower the tone. Happy Easter to you and I do so hope that the Easter Bunny brings you lots of chocolate.

Ah! I see. So if Tom allegedly enjoys a cruise does that make him a player of the pink oboe? I think we should be told don't you? Come out of your closet dear, you're fooling no one but yourself.

I'm not sure, could be the whiskered sort but please tell me what is the Katie Holmes variety?

Good grief! Is that what it is Polly. If only I'd known. And what's more I'd like to know what a PITA is too, seeing as I read the Indy as well, well the Sindy actually, but then I read the Daily Mirror and the Metro too, that way I get a good cross section of the news. By the way I think you'll find most of the clientele who used to drink in the ED boozers in the old days you'll probably find most of them up at the Plough or the Castle and probably the British Legion club in Barry Road, none of which appeals to me and I've lived in Dulwich most of my life.

I wandered past Franklins last night and it was pretty much empty, which is a pity as I quite like it there myself and the Bishop I find is usually choc-full of Claphamites and yuppie scum but I fully agree with your comment on the Herne. I preferred it when it was a dump and full of plebs but at least it had more atmosphere then.

Is that the royal "we" Mockney? Heaven forbid I haven't been into the Gowlett since the Stone Age. It used to be a real dive but I've heard it has now changed beyond compare.

I slipped into the Palmerston early yesterday evening for a quick snifter or two only to be confronted by a bunch of suits, so I got the hell out before they started playing with their Crackberrys and headed for the Drum only to find it shut (again), strode down to the EDT with a very determined stride as I was getting thirstier by the minute to catch the first half of the Chelsea match and it seemed to be packed with the sort of people who will probably be supporting Manchester United next season. Caught the second half in the Magdala which was packed full of oiks but I quite like that as I am a bit of a low life myself. I suppose I should have gone to Inside 72 if I'd wanted to mingle with the hip young arty types but I'd had enough by then and needed the sustanance of a Chinese takeaway.

Transient random noise bursts with announcements.

I most certainly did Madworld74 and I must say I am a little frayed around the edges this morning but it was worth it.

I saw her last night actually being hotly persued by the three beards along Lordship Lane.

Dear Spymum, I think he meant he was bored with the little squabble he was having back there. Or maybe bored from too much resting. Who can tell?

Yup, I sure do Madworld74. I love a drinkypoo and seeing as the sun is out I think I'll be joining you for a glass of the old vino or two. Life's too short. Let's get lushed.

Oooooh! Bitchy bitchy.The claws are out.

Good grief! Is that really what the good people of ED are reading? That must account for all the estate agents clogging up Lordship Lane then. Also, I may well be an arty type that is also a wage slave Domitianus. I just happen to be well read that's all.

Cheers Keef, quite right too. I'll drink to that.

Sorry to disappoint you SimonM but the lovely Ms Barker lives just around the corner from me. Better luck next time.

Who gives a shit anyway. Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
