I'm taking the liberty of bumping this even tho it's still weeks away - simply because there are lot's of new people on the forum lately and it may slip their attention. All welcome !


(but we will be running a book on who will and won't come ;-) )

Hey All,


I had a great time last time. Everyone that I spoke to was really welcoming and friendly.


Unfortunately, I don't really have time to post and chat on the forum too much (I'm not office or home based), is it a faux pas to just come get drunk with you all...? Or will I be shunned into the corner with people giving me disapproving side-glances and talking about me loud enough for me to hear ("I've heard that he lives in SE5", etc.)....?


I'd like to be a fully-functioning member of the ED Beer Forum! :)-D



Cheers

Hi there.... I've not posted too often... but I have been roped into playing Scrabble with Mogs and Co - and love the Magdale Quiz night - so I'd love to come and meet a few more people.... alas there is no Mr AllyCat (so far!) so I'd be turnning up on me todd - but hopefully there might be a few faces I recognise!

Have we exhausted Ed yet? I'm not against the idea of travelling further afield but just making sure we aren't overlooking


Didn't someone mention the FHT as another possibility?


The birthday drinks should be a "grander" occassion methinks


Also - re: this coming Friday at the Plough. If the good weather persists will this be the first al fresco drinkup? Should keep smokers and sunbathers alike happy

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
