Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress


Recommended Posts

Holy batman ? Mikey P and me standing shoulder to shoulder with pitchforks! Who woulda thunk it!?


It?s not looking like a huge turnout for Friday is it ? but I suspect the place will be fairly rammed anyway. Unlike some venues, newcomers may not be able to spot an obvious gathering

I want to go for many reasons

- making an effort to go to all forum drinks and make nice and sociable with the neighbours

- haven't been to the Actress yet

- celebrating Friday night


BUT


I need to get my roots done and my hairdresser can only fit me in late on Friday. Life's a bitch. So I'll be there at some stage, even if I still have a towel on my head.

I went along to the Actress, was a good night and nice to see some familiar faces again.


The tumblers were good. No clowns or acrobats tho ;)

It was a good night out, thank you for organising it Georgia! Smaller turnout, but that meant I wasn't trying to talk to too many people. The Actress was quite busy, good for them, bad for us as nowhere to get an area.


Normally they are the first Friday of the month. No hints as to where the next one will be yet.

To be honest I am not sure if there will / should be another. I said before that they are not working having them every month anymore. I am also feeling that people expect me to be at all of them, as if I am hosting a party, and that isn't realistic.


So...I would like a break(possibly a permanent one)from organising them please!

Can I be the first in thanking you Georgia for all the effort you've put in for the drinks over the past three and half years. I know I don't go to them anymore but when I did I met some very nice people some of whom have become good friends. So thanks Georgia. Take a bow young lady.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
