what happened on the railway sidings? I only remebember graffiti .... damn .. what else happened there? Would love a response to Huguenot .... when is the first "bi - moment" ... when do you get past the state of confusion? Mockney .. I'm sure you know interweb been around for over 40 years now.. sorry .. I'm a pedant. I never had it either...

I'm going to have to listen harder to the bird on the bus in the morning... the one on the 37 tonight has made me feel not to trust a single thing she says now. Brockwell Leeedo indeed! FFS it's LY-DO and we all know it.... I've lived in sarf landan all me life and it's always been "dulidj" innit

Is the waking up in a bath full of ice after being ruphied, with a note and a phone saying "call an ambulance you've had ya kidneys pilfered" an urban myth ... or does this really happen?

It's def "Wait-lee" ......

Jimmy Somerville having had some ribs removed so that he could .... errr get better quality personal time. That usually came hand in hand with the contents of Mr Almonds stomach....

I'm sure they are everywhere ... I know they've been in our next door neighbours garden as it was untouched for a few years and another neighbour had seen them. In fact when I moved in to my house a few years ago there was a rat trap out there. *saunters off to close back door* I've also been for a walk at night and walked through the The Gardens and a rat was quite happily walking along next to me without a care in the world. I guess they are everywhere and some more ballsy than others. Absolutely loads around the pond/lake behind Beaubery House! Poor MW74 ... put it this way ... how likely is that to ever happen to you again?

Not that anyone has had the delights of the adventure bar .... but if you aim for the exact opposite in terms of exterior decor... that's a good start I reckon (IMO). YMCA fan I am not! Service Service Service ... nothing puts me off somewhere quicker than being ignored or staff with bad attitude.... so so glad you have said that's high on the list. As for mixing day time and evening ..... it seems quite tricky. If you are primarily seen as a nightime venue then you CAN seem to break into the daytime market too. But try it the other way around and the Lane Cafe or Le Chandelier - never seems to have many / any in the evening.... So now I'm intrigued, dare I say excited .... and can't wait for something a little different .. as you seem to be aiming for. Best of luck....

with bells on!

I'm going to be all eyes as soon as someone mentions the word "Henry" tonight .... will the pub go quiet? hmmmm I doubt it...

A henry in London is a very different thing .... apparently.

I'm game ... I'm going... wont be for a few weeks... but I'm going. The younger folk can stick with the Bishop and le mag when it opens

If they start to sell ?13 sarnies ..... it won't matter what you call it ... I won't be going. I want the angry chef back and give me the burgers and fries I so loved.... *stamping foot and huffing* Am I imagining this or is it a "Le Chandelier" venture? Le Mag?

I have a frame that's with a guy called Mario... actually got a recommendation from the Forum .. I'm picking up from him tomorrow (as well as a blasted set of iron work table legs) .. he's very good! So if you go with a respray I'd def recommend him.... about ?60 and he'll remove ya chain etc if you cant sort it. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9,109882,110044#msg-110044

Do the Montpelier! You'll always get a seat ... not that old school to be honest but I don't think it'll fail you. Or the Rye... I love the Hern but the fear of kiddy infestation on a sunday sends me elsewhere. EDOldies - Does Le Moulin do decent grub? It does look 70'stastic but I'm always up for proper grub! Damn I'm hungry!

God no. The sponsorship was by no way used to cover any of my costs. Not sure I'd be comfortable with that if it were to cover them. Well my aim was to get peoples general opinion and I've definitely got that. I understand that it may not be the right charity for some people, maybe the 10th sponsorship request someone has received in that particular week or even that they just don't want to... that simple. That was my first "proper" charity event, I didn't do it for the feeling of self worth... more for the achievement in itself, the charity bit was an added extra really. I just thought I could have raised more, but I consider my expectations for the next event well and truly managed. Cheers Guys...

Something has got my goat. I recently undertook a challenge as part of a team. One of the stipulations of entering said challange was that we raise X amount of money. Now we did manage both the challenge and to raise the required amount, but for some reason there were quite a few of my friends / colleagues that just didnt sponsor me. Which leads me to this question: A. Are most of my friends and colleagues flakes? B. Am I simply not as close to people as I think? C. Are people just too skint nowadays? D. Was Oxfam not a good enough cause to peoples hearts? If a friend or colleague of mine is looking for sponsorhsip I don't think I have ever turned them down. Really what is a tenner to anyone? It all adds up right? This thread is not a means of getting a pat on the bag .. I feel quite agrieved that I bust a gut and people can't be ar5ed to go on line and make a donation which takes 5 minutes. So for all of you that have done charity based sponsorship .... how well have you faired and what's the best way of getting the mooolah? I've got to do better next year

When the Blockheads play .. please mention to them that there is a 100% Ian Dury soundalike doing the public announcements at Blackfriars Tube station every morning .... in case they're interested that is... The festival looks a good'un .. hope it goes well. Would like to see Beardyman and Shadow but cannot make the date

Is the hedge and said property actually in Dulwich? Can't help feeling it might not be....

oooooh the new development ..... I know nothing sorry. Presume best commute is to jump on bus to Denmark Hill.

My only comment would be that I cant work out where highwood close is and... err neither can streetmap... is that the right name?

Good work Bob!

they do yes

Had a slip through 2 weeks ago and managed to land under our sofa so only found it at the weekend during a major clean up. The PO say they retain packages for 3 weeks and MrS B went there yesterday to pick it up. The guy at the desk said it's already been sent to another post office / depot. When asked where this was or how they could be contacted he said "dunno". When asked for a contact number, he provided it but then added "it's no use they won't know either"... is this a cover up? Mrs B was not expecting a delivery so the worry is that this is a new credit / debit card and could well be in the wrong hands by now.

I miss the adventure game! Why dont we get that stuff on UKTV?????? As for the bar... we might see a lot of what looks like passing trade but infact people looking to get a roof over their heads? http://www.ymca.org.uk/

I'm getting off my 'arris and looking forward to it... I'm only coming because of the gowlettini's don't you know! ;-) (I jest ofcourse)
