Firstly, I?d like to thank Georgia and Michael P for arranging the drinks over the last couple of years. Met some lovely people and been to some terrific pubs I?ve had a great time at them and will sorely miss them.

Though it?s an understandable solution to the falling numbers, quarterly drinks will not be the same. Miss one and that?s half a year before you might meet up with whoever bothers turning up at the next.

I hope it?s not the case but, alas, as far as I can see the Forum Drinks R.I.P.

Seconded. A massive thank you to Georgia and Mike for organising them, I've really enjoyed the couple I've been to.


And if they're being stopped because I ventured out to a couple, I'll go back to my hermit like existence, for the greater good! Only joking, I know it wasn't me...


I've really enjoyed meeting some of you, and hope it isn't Forum Drinks RIP!

you know what, it must be hard for newbies to go to the drinks when it is held in a packed bar, it's hard enough finding your friends that you know in a packed bar, maybe there should be a logo or symbol for people to go to, it is easy for everybody here that knows each other already, georgia has done a grand job though. Quiet bars are easier. Georgia, would you prefer someone else to take over and organise the drinks?

I, too, hope this isn't the death of the Forum Drinks, as they are good fun.


Georgia, I have said it before but I'll say it again. Thank you for all your efforts each month. They haven't gone unnoticed or unappreciated - even though it might (perhaps) feel like that to you.


I notice (via CitizenED's post above) that Michael Pallywotsitoos has also been responsible for organising these events. I wasn't aware of this, and if this is true then my thanks go to you too Mr. P.


Roll on September!

Nice one Georgia for sorting them out, sorry I haven't made most of the most recent ones but being away most Friday nights doesn't help.


Without wanting to sound like a marketing w*nker a 'rebrand' might be another option, the forum's so big now The Forum Drinks is a bit too general for people to associate with, a more specific name might be appropriate. How about:

The Georgian Drinks, a get together of Loungers?

The Loungers

The Lounge Drinks

The Open Arms drinks - (maybe too Godly)

The Inner Circle - (members only of course ;-) )

The Drink Appreciation Society


That aside I was also thinking that we could have an impromptu summer get together if the weather's looking fine, we'll all meet down the pub or park one sunny afternoon and evening in June or July.

Oh well it's obvious..."The Inner Circle", of course!

Just to add my thanks for all the drinks the team have arranged in the last 3 years or so. I've not been to one in about a year, for various reasons, mainly the fact that I don't get out as much as I did pre baby, so when I am out on a Friday, it's usually catching up with pals.


Drinks used to be really good, and I agree that a bit of a break could be what is needed before starting afresh.


Besides, anyone who wants them to carry on, could always take the pressure off of Georgia, and sort them out.

Fuck knows mate. I haven?t been to one since November.


Tried to make the Gowlette on Friday but the Fates conspired against me.


I?d say anyone who can remember what everyone drinks off the top of their head, ?2 port and lemon, 3 pints of Sussex Premium Dog Todger, a Campari and soda, 2 snakebite and absinth depth charges and a hot Bovril, in accordance with the prophecy, please barkeep.?

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
