"...as there are only a certain amount of pubs that we can go to I'm all in favour of visiting them all again." But, Jah, hopefully not all on the same night!

Don't be fooled, Barcelona is the tapas bar up the top end of Lordship Lane

If a copper said that there were muggings in ED "mainly due to it's proximity to other areas" that is one odd statement. Isn't every area of London in close proximity to other areas? So sorry to hear about this event. The other thread on mugging that has been mentioned is a heartening read (unless you are a teenage boy). Iived lived in ED for 8 years and had no trouble. citizen

careful, Atila, I didn't actually say or imply that. I'm simply pointing out that the vast amount of "achievement" in this country has been accomplished by white people and there are plenty of symbols of that "achievement".

Yep, Sundays are free - I like to pay my way

Please, Mr Admin, we don't want a vote on the venue of each Forum drinks - we want a glorious knockabout like we did this month.

Jeez snorky, you been checking my private life - I can make all but one of those sessions.

White pride is symbolised by Statues around Westminster (and other city centres), Paintings of Generals in the National Gallery and other such visual shows of power and authority. It's clearly demonstrated by all the white captains of industry, bishops, MP's and media moguls we see on the TV. There is no need for any specific act by any regular white person in the UK to celebrate white achievement. This is not the case for other ethnicities.

Hum us a tune whilst you ponder what to do.

hayes

paper blank after two hours....rest your forehead upon it.

Cazzyr started the thread with this post: "Are there are gay/lesbian parents out there who'd fancy meeting up mid week on a fortnightly basis? My girlfriend and I are Mums to a 10 month old and feel it would be good to meet up with other parents and do fun things together. I wouldn't intend it to be a discussion group per se...simply a kids/parents get together.There's loads on for hetero parents but v little for the gays in the village!" perfectly reasoned and with a quip! Scruffy Mummy responded with a great informative post and a "Good Luck" Then, and hour later, Lozzy chipped in with his post; "I don't mean to sound ignorant (here goes) but can you also join in with hetero groups and do fun things together or does that not work if you're gay parents? If it doesn't work is it because the hetero group does not accept you or because you prefer to stick with like? Sorry, just curious!" Hardly provocative (how else could he have couched such a question?), but then it all kicked off. OK, so ideally the original post should have been in the wanted section, or Lozzy could have started his own thread to discuss the issues raised. But something - OK its good to have a knockabout on here from time to time, but all the unnecessary personal invective is plain unnecessary. And it's always a pity when an innocent post ends up like this, with new posters feeling hard done to and people being unfairly accused. Citizen - straight from the Relate offices.

LG,- "rather well" candidate for understatement of the year. I suppose you are just playing it down in anticipation of Atila's more effusive response. Thanks for that, Sean: a post in the Best Album and Best Film thread methinks

I heard that Three Quarters of Briton's Snore I used to live in Coventry and am not surprised it's top of the list. the place is so boring it certainly sent me to sleep many a time.

You know us too well - we don't!

I'm sorry but Mrs Citizen will have to duck out on this one. It's her own fault. She should have married someone with the ability to check a calender properly.;-)

Cross posting due to sheer lack of inertia. 1, The Herne 2, The CPT

yea's for the Herne; me, Mockney, Jah, Lozzy, Brendan. Anyone else? (Lozzy, hope all's alright with lil' one.)

The Herne. Last drinks was in a Bar - don't know about anyone else, the Uplands always reminds me of a set for a TV soap - and the Vale is a Bar. Let's go for a proper boozer, like the Herne.

Liking the idea of the Montpelier. Would go for the Castle too. If I recall correctly, the Herne missed out one month last year. We haven't been there yet either. *whispers, hands up for the Vale*

Welcome back Brendan - hope it all went swimmingly. The reason to get hitched is to make those Monday Blues seem so much more intense.

Gadzooks, thread full of people moaning about the price of beer - next we'll have people complaining about the price of petrol. Get a grip, people.
