I didn't dare ask Daizie in case I didn't like the answer! Moreover, I didn't want another "clash"! But come now, you must admit, Mr. SMG has grown on us over the months - hasn't he (I mean, we didn't take to him AT ALL at first :)))!. Nice thing about clashing with Mr. SMG is that he always makes up graciously - and that's nice. Endearing, in fact.

I'd just like to add, that I did go to uni (well, actually it was an Institute for higher education a year before I went), but I dropped out with one module to go. This seemed a good idea at the time, I keep meaning to do a module just to finish off the degree, but 10 years, and other qualifications later, I just can't really be arsed.


I'm not a posh boy though, and I'll have a fist fight with anyone who says I am! :)-D

This one does! (But then I left school at 16 too - though I did manage to attain one "O" level, so do not qualify for title of complete pleb)


And what have you got in your pocketssezzzz...

too many cliques dear boy and not enuf integration, me finks.

Official Announcement: Let it be known that the "powers that be" gave me a bag of gold stars.


So......I hereby award the first of these prestigious, coveted awards to:


*drum roll*


.........brum. Because I like what he said.


(yes, if you go back a few hundred pages, you will see that his post has been awarded a shiny, flashing gold star icon in the top right hand corner)


PS. Its great reading everyone's views. Is that a lily-livered, non-combatative thing to say? Good. :)


PPS. Btw, is the Cliques-R-US meeting still on for tomorrow? Double Good. :))

Damn straight - that means you've come the fuck in, right?


Not that I mean that I'm in a clique you understand - just that I think people should join in if they want to and quit bitching if they don't (that said, I do recommend being pushy - took me about a year and a half, but I did finally manage to get those CPT boys to buy me a drink)

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
