People in general. I watch them rushing around all day long. Doing whatever it is that has to be done to keep their personal universe from imploding. Paying little heed to what is really going on around them. Not realising that any given individual is of exactly no consequence whatsoever. Vividly manifested during rush-hour in central London. Like maggots they scuttle through traffic with this blinkered sense of urgency. I often wonder how so many of them actually manage to survive considering how unaware of their position in space and time they are. I saw one under a bus last night. It wasn?t the first and I doubt it will be the last. Others so lemminged they rushed into oncoming traffic to avoid the obstruction. Must catch the 6:45. This can?t not be a nightmare.

I really think that a pub like the CPT. ie. No food or kids, good music, chilled atmosphere, still old school boozerish but a bit trendy, could do well if properly marketed in ED. You just need something to get people to notice it a bit. A bit of a re-spruce (but not changing the entire character or chasing out the locals) a decent wine list and some guest ales. Maybe something gimmicky 1 night a week like the lucky sevens thing at the gowlet.

What is the difference between Lahmucan and Pide?

Weren't we going to club together and buy the place? I shall go around with a tin at the next forum drinks.

Old Spice Girl factory perhaps.

Well you seemed to be spending all your time in drug dens. No wonder you were single. Red eyes and pizza down your jumper is never a good look.

"The Smokery". Good name for an Amsterdam coffee shop.

Would love to but I shall be in darkest Africa.

Something does seem to be going on.

I got regularly caned in both senses of the word at school. The one was normally a direct result of the other. We got hit with all sorts of stuff. A proper cane across the arse if you were being formally disciplined (anything up to 6 times. They weren?t allowed to hit you more than that in one go) but there were various other ad hoc beatings dished out. The standard was a ruler across the palm but the industrial arts teacher regularly made liberal with the old 2 by 4 and we had a particularly nasty PT teacher who favoured a cricket bat.

But of course it is. Although you have to remember that maintaining a healthy balance is the important thing so I would recommend drinking some wine as well. And perhaps a bit of whiskey, brandy, vodka and gin,

It?s amazing what a healthy lifestyle can do for you KK. ;-)

Anyone old enough to have been (or from a country where they were) caned at school? Remember you used to brag about the welts on your backside? Only me? Oh well.

It's those January diets paying off.

Nope but I noticed that they have moved in some "loungey" looking furniture and there is what looks like a bar at the end of the room. Or was that in another closed down shop further up the road? :-S

The trains just seem busier in January because everyone is fatter.

Someone change the title of this thread to Hilarious thread on "East Dulwich Borders" Forum

I don?t know. I spend lots of money, time and effort maintaining my garden and trying to make it into a pleasant space. I would get pretty annoyed is someone just started throwing stuff in it. Anyway it shows a lack of respect for other people?s property which I find distasteful.

oh! ::o It is Growly Bear. Sorry I misread that. :-$

Barbeque? :-S Got nothing that posh. I?m from Johannesburg, we just rip off the fittings and burn them in an oilcan when we get cold.

Sounds like a loony to me.

How would one go to the toilet whilst wearing that thing?

Well Growler. I think SteveT?s neighbours really have been flicking fag butts over his wall but just because this doesn?t mean that all the subsequent posts should necessarily be taken seriously.

It was really more of a specific incident than the entire crowd Madworld. When I was waiting at the bar there were 2 ladies (both of whom seemed to be very dolled up for the pub) who had obviously pissed each other off somehow and were doing that ?I can be a bigger bitch than you while still sounding polite? thing that women do. It was quite entertaining.
