I like the CPT because it is scruffy, but there you go? :-S

Perhaps after a meal of egg and corn.

I'm sure they will all get thier just desserts.

No need to insult me, man. I was leaving anyway. Have either of you got shoes?

I demand to have some booze!

Pubs in East Dulwich which will more than likely be showing the rugby: George Canning (over the hill in Camberwell), EDT, Magdala, CPT, The Castle, The Vale. Have I missed any off?

The thing that scares me about WoW is how I got completely sucked into the Baldur?s Gate games a few years back. My girlfriend actually broke up with me and I didn?t notice. From what I?ve heard WoW is far more addictive than Baldur?s Gate ever was.

How do you guys manage to maintain relationships and social lives as well as play games? Oh and also work in-between? I have to limit myself to playing games I know are boring because otherwise I get so completely roped in I forget to do things like eat, sleep and speak to people. I have been fighting off the temptation to join my friends on WoW for the last year. That and to get an Xbox 360 so I can see what Test Drive Unlimited is like online.

I remember that Aerosmith Love in an Elevator video being a firm favorite of mine when I was a pubescent boy.

In the interest of fairness I feel I am going to have to try to put aside my bias towards the CPT and actually go to every pub in East Dulwich and make a judgment on this. The test will be to engage the bar staff in conversation and after a few pints enquire about the meaning of life. Wherever I get the most satisfactory answer will get my vote.

Well if it is an issue for the Metro it surely has to be of the utmost importance.

Are there criteria against which to rate bars or is it purely personal opinion?

They are great with sport. In rugby or football you just pick a player and every time your player touches the ball you drink. With cricket you can be a bit more creative with the rules but you inevitably forget them by tea anyway.

Well there are plenty of Bars On Lordship Lane Or Closely Kept Secrets off on the side roads to choose from.

hmmm... I wonder where that old cricket box of mine is. On second thoughts i may just watch it at home.

They'll never take me alive!

I see far fewer fights in London than I used to back home in SA, it was almost seen as a kind of sport in my hometown, but I think that is because in London I have the option of choosing where I drink and not having to go to places where there is trouble because they are the only pubs open. I have noticed more large groups of people, dressed up and obviously out all out together for a night along LL than a couple of years ago. I think we ED locals don?t bother so much with dressing up when we go down LL.

Was it not Confucius who said that, ?Pre-match sledging is much fun almost as fun as watching South African juggernaut trampling all over puny English rugby team whose pretty white clothes will need much Daz? to achieve whiteness once more after game.? Although I am sure it is also written somewhere, ?Maketh sure that if thow art going to be a cocky bastard in the land of thine enemy that thow chooseth a seat near the door and wears thine running shoes for there are those who would administer a contritional wedgy which would greatly tear thine springbok underpants. Yea verily.?

I was also an altar boy. I think the trauma of having to parade around in front of the entire town every Sunday wearing a dress (very camp business churching) put me right off ever being a regular churchgoer in my adult life. Well that and the indoctrination, hypocrisy and conditional trade off of having to subscribe to a certain belief structure in order to explore human spirituality.

He makes a good point. I?m sure the sound of church bells on a Sunday morning has woken many of us up from a drunken slumber. In fact I think that is kinda the point. Is that more acceptable that loud music?

Perhaps we should ask god to sort this out for us. I?m not to sure where one addresses the letters of complaint though. The Vatican? Buckingham Palace? Mecca? Jerusalem? Salt Lake City? Penge? Is there not a patron saint of annoying neighbours who could be asked to intercede?

You are all a bunch of lightweights. I?m shtill in the Canning.

MX5s also have the option of a hard top. The entire concept of the Mazda MX5 is actually the same as that of the old Triumphs and MGs

Often makes me wonder why conversions are generally more expensive than purpose built flats when they are always so problematic.
