You may well think that. One couldn't possibly comment.

So Axeman, you don't want to come round and keep me company then?


Although you actually make an interesting point - for some people that is exactly the point, but we is local like and some of us likes each other.

Thank you G - cheers for arranging, in my calendar (tu)


(maybe its just me but a little surprised that the Actress couldn't reserve an area on this occasion)

Perhaps that's because we are not real...merely virtual...

Is it any of my business, lady muck?


No, not really. I was just trying to determine whether you are one of Georgia's genuine friends, or just one of the unfortunate consequences of a blanket invitation. But ask yourself this. How hollow and insincere are these no doubt awkward occasions? Is it a vibrant group of liberal, left-wing individuals engaged in sparkling discussion. Or a group of mismatched old Loners who, apart from contributing to an online forum, have nothing in common. I bet the conversation dips to an embarressing, empty silence more than you'd like to admit.


And do these fellow posters actually become real friends, or after the event, do they just melt back into an indifferent crowd of faces, desperately trying to avoid eye contact if they see an online 'friend', wishing they'd never met. And what would you talk about if one of you stopped posting on the forum?


Not alot, probably.

Axeman

Axeman clearly wasnt in the Actress on friday when 6 forumites who eschewed their anonymity and also actually all like one another in real life, got together for a chat. The only moment of silence was the shock and awe reaction to the dance hall v wine soaked slattern dance off.

I beg to differ Axeman...


This diverse forum abounds with characters of all categories. And whilst one does not expect to be in the company of candidates for Mensa all of the time, with you it would appear that we are dealing with someone of the opposite extreme. So, as per the highly eloquent Sean...given that, for me, you qualify for title of most gargantuan large-mouthed w-anker of a troll to date, I would also say to you just F-UCK RIGHT OFF.


Sean, Big Kiss X

    • 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.
