Frankly Giggi, I was heartsick not to have heard from you earlier, but of course am now massively relieved that you have joined.

If you'll accept the post I'd like you to be the Ministrette Without Portfolio, consider it a roving brief.

Or a rock and rolling brief, if you will.

Good thinking on the handshake, this will require a little thought and some research, I'll call my friend Jason the Mason and see if he's free.


And thanks, yes I did know about IH at Islington and have got tickets for myself and Honaloochie Jnr, this is an acoustic gig, he's doing the Komedia at Brighton with the Rant band also, so I'll be there as well.

We're being spoiled this year what with the Barbican show earler this month. One of his finest I might add.

Point of order, Quids, don;t think the tip is one of ironik spellling. 'Click' is the term used in some rap/r&B songs to denote clique. So the reference to 'click' here is a rather knowing form cliqueishness. Or is that clickishness? A sort of faux homage to the r&b/rap idiom, if you will.

Uhhh....help...I'm channelling Ned Sherrin.

Bless you, Brendan, no not at all, this click does not involve any sort of cheap exploitative humiliating initiation rituals.

As if.

No this is all about long term collections of loose change at week's end, which will be donated to The Glorious Leader (I haven't mentioned it for a couple of days, but in these times of tubulence and change, I should empasise it's still me}.


Bike you say Brendan? Do you have working solid panniers?

If so, there could an official post in the click for you.


Ride round to other click members of a Friday evening and collect their week's worth of loose change. Should they demure then you will weedle, cajole and flim-flam them.


The post of Chancer Of The Exchequer, is yours for the taking.


There's a weekly quart of gin, if the prestige isn't enough.

Not at all NL, I think dear Ned would be flattered.

But I know 'click' prefigures the rap/R&B idiom you're referring to.


So North Londoner, how would you care to be the click's Forrin Secretary?

So when we leave our yard(s) and have fi gwa forrin over the river, we know we'll have sanctuary.

It's a key appointment.

It's an interesting notion, PGC. I'd not considered the idea of Quangos, but you appear to seem to be a self-governing sort of person, so let's go along with your suggestion.

Mind that's not to minimise the importance of this Quango.


PGC, will you accept the post of chair of the Lager Temperature Of Certain Indifferent Bars On Lordship Lane?

You will of course, with your team have to visit the bars on a regular basis, and submit a report on a weekly basis on which of the indifferent bars 'come good' (as we click members say) as far as good lager temperature is out there, LAMF.


What say, PGC?

Your alligence is already well took, bro.

It's took like Steve Took out of Tyrannasouras Rex, blud.

You knows it.

Time you joined the click K1997.


Raise your right hand and say after me.


"After me, you're considerably older and I think it's only polite to let you go first"


Well done K, welcome to the click.

Dib dib dib indeed, Brendan. I like that thinking. Low key.

Let's keep the click as a Scouty/Cubsian kind of deal to the outside world.

No need for civilians, as it were, to suspect, as they might, that a click sponsored by the EDF was a 'front' for a spare change of a Friday night collection racket.

I refute that. It's defaming.


The click is nothing more than a 'social club', a gathering of like-minded people who come together.

That's all, they just come together.


Any suggestion that 'non change donaters' will go the same way as the 'Dream Machine' will be met with the most vigorous legal action.

Fantaca, Katie1997, you got the 'fingerpopping'.


You're going to be so popular in the click, specially on Friday night when Brendan returns with the local spare change, I reckon double finger clicks will keep him on the straight, while giving him a little boost. Also.


Plus of course, with those kind of fingers you'll find yourself featuring in a prominent position in the click's production of West Side Story.

It's a little local production we'll be putting on.

For the local widows and orphans you understand.

PGC, in the click, when we speak of 'loose change', we are not necessarily referring to, for want of a better phrase loose change.

From time to time, as the occasion necessitates, it can refer to loose change, if you catch my drift.

And I'm in a drift throwing kind of mood.

    • 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.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
