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.

Nick Hancock used to live five doors down the road from me but he moved back up to Stoke a couple of years ago.

At a rough estimate I'd say about ten or 15 years ago.

It's seems to have been there forever and I know it looks a bit like a small pub but from what I can tell it may have been used as an off license but I can't be sure of that.

Hmm

Jimmy Nesbitt used to live in ED but is now a resident of Herne Hill. I could tell you the road but you wouldn't want to go there now would you?

A woman was sitting in a restaurant enjoying lunch with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy young man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes away from him. The young man noticed her overly-attentive stare and walked directly towards them. Before she could offer her apologies for being so rude for staring, the young man said to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, not matter how kinky, for ?100, on one condition." Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The young man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The woman considered his proposition for a moment, withdrew her purse and slowly counted out five twenty pound notes, which she gladly pressed into the young man's hand. She looked deeply into his eyes and slowly, meaningfully said, . # # # # # # # # # "Clean my house."

Well, I remember getting out there. Handy for the pub though. Could have a pint in your hands within seconds.

It was the last stop for buses going only as far as the beginning of Lordship Lane. Once they had unloaded their passengers the bus would drive around the corner and come to a halt at another otherwise "dead" bus stop behind the EDT before starting the journey again in the other direction.

Already been done. Battersea is already commonly known as south Chelsea.

In fact I used to go there to pick shrooms so I could have my own "visions". Highly recommended though after a stroll on the Rye is a pint or two in the Clockhouse or further up the road the Herne Tavern.

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish." Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build me a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want to." The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for wordly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honour and glorify me." The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say, "nothing" and how I can make a woman truly happy." After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
