The Dulwich Raider

Thought for the day: What happened after the Bishop of Southwark left Christmas drinks at the Irish Embassy? I piece I wrote for Deserter: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/12/im-the-bishop-of-southwark/ TDR

I wrote a piece for Deserter on how to survive Christmas: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/11/deserting-at-christmas/ Please feel free to add your own. Together, we'll make it! TDR

I've written another post for Deserter - this time on the delights of Penge: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/11/the-pick-of-penge/ TDR

I would favour either Fri 30th Jan (start at lunch so half day off) or Sat 31st and try to take in the Hamlet game at 3pm! Btw, I've written another post for Deserter - this time on the delights of Penge: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/11/the-pick-of-penge/ TDR

Superb work! I will consult the Calendar. Could people do a weekday if given enough notice, or is a weekend preferable (most likely Sunday)? TDR

Yes, the P13 would mean 13 pubs. I would suggest that in the 'clusters' (eg the pubs mentioned above in Streatham and Tulse Hill) it would be allowable to do a half in each. Blimey, though, there are already some crackers in those lists - it almost seems rude to do a half. Maybe with a good breakfast (plus remembering to eat lunch, dinner) and by sticking to session ale it would be achievable to have 13 pints between, say, noon and midnight. Now I've thought about it, I can't think of a better way to spend a day...

Hi, I wrote a piece for Deserter about what the P4 is really for. http://deserter.co.uk/2014/11/taking-the-ps/ Anyone got any thoughts about the P5, P12 and P13? TDR PS As ever, it's sweary

Oops - well-spotted Jah Lush - now corrected. Bet that was something to behold for a ten-year-old - better than firework night! TDR

Hi, I wrote a new piece for Deserter about Crystal Palace http://deserter.co.uk/2014/11/crystal-palace/ As ever, I'd love to hear people's views on what I liked (and missed!) TDR

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the piece and, more importantly, your thoughts and wisdom on the subject. Trying not to think too much about pubs today due to deep hangover, but hopefully nothing a fry-up at Johnnies won't fix. TDR

What have the Half Moon, The Grove and the Crown & Greyhound got in common? You can't get a blinkin' pint in any of them. I wrote a piece for Deserter on it: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/10/pubwatch-herne-hill-dulwich/ Would love to hear people's thoughts on the matter. TDR PS It might be a bit sweary

I devised a 'beer triangle' taking in three of my favourite watering holes in Queens Road Peckham, Crofton Park/Brockley and Gipsy Hill. I would have gone through East Dulwich too, but we got stuck... http://deserter.co.uk/2014/10/the-best-bar-in-the-world/ TDF

Thank you for your comments about the Lordship Lane piece on Deserter. I quite like you all. FYI, Half-life has the sideboard. He does not post on the EDF - he has only ever bought one computer (an Amiga 4000T) and it's still in its box. I've got a new piece about getting wellied on the water: http://deserter.co.uk/2014/09/booze-ahoy/

Wow - thanks for the responses. Was expecting a lot of "But you missed out this and missed out that..." (which I have - it's a frickin' long road) Love and pints, TDR

Has Lordship Lane been ruined by organic shallots? I spent a day on it to find out. http://deserter.co.uk/2014/09/streetlife-lordship-lane-se22/ TDR

Oops, think I should have posted this in the General forum... Sorry Admin! I will re-post and you can delete this one. TDR

Sneak preview of my Streetlife piece on Lordship Lane, for Deserter. http://deserter.co.uk/2014/09/streetlife-lordship-lane-se22/ TDR

Fair point, Nigella. I doubt whether the poster maker or poster putter-uppers are reading this corner of the forum, but suggest we all just take them down when passing. TDR

A challenge, indeed. I understand there were 811 present on Tuesday for the game against Margate, so we will need to more than double that (and that in itself was quite a high attendance for an evening game) One thing's for sure, everyone who was there for that astonishing match will be returning tomorrow if they possibly can. Here's the winning goal, on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152685165889847 TDR

3pm, but with some excellent beers in the bar, let's say 2 ;) TDR
