Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress


Recommended Posts

Weegee - you'll be referring to the building currently housing Casa Smerelda approaching Nunhead.


It's also been known as:

The Village Inn


but on the night we went, and I agree the food was amazing for a short period, it was known as The Duke.


I think it was once something else too but before my time in the area. Beautiful old building - shit location.


Aaaaaanyway.....yep, I'm up for one last hurrah. I've been to a few forum drinks over the years but not for a while so this sounds a top idea.

How about the all new Canning? I'm sure they'd appreciate the business.


Oooooh. A crawl!


Phoenix, George Canning, Fox on the Hill, Oriwu Spot, EDT.


Strictly speaking the Vale sits between the last two, but you know, NTV!!!

Could I tentatively suggest an alternative date?...


Ignore this is everyone else is happy with the 12th, but could I also put forward the 26th November?


(As I have only been to one - please don't let me sway it if everyoen else prefers the 12th)

VBC ? sorry but from posts to date the 12th it is (subject to conf)


If that date has to change again that?s fine but I won?t be able to attend so someone else will need to take over planning


I?ve spoken to the Phoenix and they can give me the mezzanie but I need to have plenty of people there from 6:30 ? at this time of the year I can?t book from say 7:30 or 8 o clock


So can I ask people likely to attend to say yes they can make it for that time? If not I?ll have to get back to them and rethink venue/dates


Cheers

That's a shame as we have the very excellent - and local! - duo Jen Doyle and Joe Fowler on Upstairs at the Mag that night, so we won't be able to come. And nor will anybody going to the Phoenix!


They went down a storm at the fair on Goose Green which was part of the Dulwich Festival earlier in the year.

Hey,


no worries. It is a shame, but I will be dousing myself in Polish beer and vodka to ease the pain. :)-D


As long as you all get drunk enough for me and then post some cracking photos of the nights events then I am happy :))

I'm aiming for 15 - a few either way and we should still be ok, but the more the merrier


We are limited to 40 tho so if the majority are thinking of turning up later we could struggle. On a good drinks night we see 20-30 people, on a few occassions more than that and for Georgia's last hurrah I'm expecting at least 30

I'll go with whatever, but I'm not sure about the choice of venue.


What about Hoopers...


Or, wht about a pub IN East Dulwich (it being the last one and all). The first ever drinks, attended by about 5 people including Mockney, Huguenot, Me, Mike P, and one or 2 others, was at the Mag(dalla), so it may be fitting to finish them at the Mag(nolia).

    • Yes, at first I assumed that the bin men had taken flowering plants from my front garden while getting at my brown food bin, instead of reaching over the wall. I was very confused as I couldn't see any obvious gaps. Surely taking Toadflax from a resident's wall is not part of the council's remit? What next, are they going to come round and trim hedges in front gardens? 🤬
    • Oh, so that was the council.  Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter.  I assumed that a child had done it.  How strange?
    • Black open bag found on pavement on Goodrich Road this morning filled with electrical type items. Please message me if yours with description of what should be inside. Thanks
    • Every year council workers come round and remove "weeds" from pavements. These "weeds" are wild flowers which as well as brightening up the urban environment attract pollinating insects including bees. Can someone explain to me what is the purpose of this removal? The plants do not seem to be causing any kind of obstruction to pedestrians, and they make my walks around the area more pleasant. Or had done. It seems a bit odd that on the one hand the council are deliberately planting areas of wild flowers (eg on Goose Green, albeit not apparently maintaining them very well) and/or apparently letting previously cultivated areas go wild (eg on Goose Green roundabout) but on the other hand they are paying employees to come round and remove wild flowers. Why? Am I missing something here? I came out the other day to find a small pile of flowering  Toadflax and Alkanet outside my house. I was totally bemused until a neighbour told me the reason.
