Venturing outside of ED can be dangerous. Instead of going to the Magnolia on Friday I ended up in Clapham and I?ve still got the bruises. Hoopers is a very good pub though and is worth the risk IMMSHO.

Does he realise it?s in Camberwell?

Website?s wrong though. Hoopers is quite clearly in Camberwell. Denmark Hill perhaps but not East Dulwich.

Stop rubbing your casting couch like that man. It?s just creepy.

Cronyism? Cronyism! Well we know how to deal with that don?t we comrades?

Despite his questionable cricketing allegiances I fully agree with you all on Ted.

Maybe we should stop giving the plot away before it has had a chance to happen.

I suspect he may be the love interest.

What the hell indeed!

I was finding it quite uplifting actually.

time to head to the pub?

Excuse me?

Haven?t people realised yet that if they click their fingers their service gets exponentially slower and little things start getting left off their orders? I say this as someone who worked in bars and restaurants for 6 years.

Never cooked anything to a recipe before in my life. Partly because I fucking hate rules and partly because I?m just generally crap at following them, which is probably why I hate them so much. I can normally figure out what goes into something and how it?s cooked from eating it. If not I will look up about 3 or 4 different takes on the recipe and read these to get the general idea and the different variations. I then chuck them away and I work out the way I want to do it. Then it?s open a bottle of wine or beer, secure the pinny, knives, fire and away we go. I would be lying if I said that this method hasn?t produced some spectacular failures. Normally it works quite well though and I feel that trial and error helps me get a proper intuitive feel for what I?m cooking. This seems to work better for me than following a regimented checklist. As for lopping off digits, I try to stick to this rule: ?Don?t cut your fingers off numb-nuts!?

What happened to Hell?s bookkeeper?

Anyone else think this smiley ::o looks like a blow up doll?

Being intentionally provocative! On this forum! ::o Well I would certainly never participate in such behaviour.

I?m enjoying the literary bent today Ted. It?s actually making me feel like a pint in the CPT

Thanks for setting things straight there Jeremy. Sold out though? Granted they did get very ?pop-punky? in their later incarnations but the closest thing to a major label they ever recorded on was Fat which I would hardly consider selling out. What has Next got to do with anything?

Step away from the blue can.

...with bacon, sausage, black pudding, a tomato and toast.

You want to turn him into a piece of jewellery? Is this some kind of Voodoo?

Is this an intentional Screeching Weasel reference? Or am I being a little optimistic in assuming that people would be making references to punk from outside of the package peddled by Malcolm McLaren in the 70s?

Spoken like someone who has obviously never driven to Croydon with a hangover on a Saturday morning in psychotic-death-freak traffic just to be dragged around TK Max or B&Q like cracked bleeding nails down a polished blackboard.
