Having seen the ad for hungry hippo players (?)have got up the courage to ask if any ED dwellers fancy playing bridge? Actually when I say playing what I mean is would anyone care to try and teach me to play bridge? Played at school with own set of bastardised rules but sadly so long ago have forgotten even those....hoping this will be a suitable activity to take me into the twilight years.

Indeed, if anyone fancies playing bridge with Fatfightersforever - please could I join you?


I would like to play the harpsichord in the background and perhaps do a little needle point while wearing an enormous corset with my hair up!


Oh please - lets do it, I have fingerless white lace gloves here somewhere...:)

I recently attended a "back to bridge" weekend which was excellent and revived my interest in the game.


There is a bridge club in Dulwich - run by Zebedee Stocken - I'm planning to attend the Tuesday evening starters class from 2 Oct and received message below. Contact details are: [email protected]


DULWICH BRIDGE - restarting Wednesday September 26th


Hello Everybody!


I hope you have had a great summer and are looking forward to the return of Dulwich Bridge. I have sent out a mailshot which you should receive soon.


This term there will be a Tuesday evening Beginners class (7pm starting October 2nd). Please tell all your non-bridge playing friends about it. There will also be the usual Supervised Play sessions (Tuesday 6-9pm & Wed 1-3pm) plus Intro to Duplicate (Wed 10.15am - 12.45pm & 7-9.30pm). I am hoping to run more Modern Bridge Saturdays but at time of going to press, the pub has provisional bookings every Saturday... but I am still hopeful and will keep you posted (by email).


I look forward to seeing you in October,

best wishes


Zeb Stocken

Portobello Bridge


P.S. If you haven't received your mailshot by the end of next week, please get in touch.

I think Dulwich Mum might want to serve elegant canapes with dry martinis or chilled champagne but never "booze".


Haven't yet visited Zebedee's club so not sure how elegant / alcohol friendly it mght be.

Dear Fatfirghters forever


I am slightly intimidated by you if you like Bridge. My extremely intelligent father plays it and card counts to boot. I've never quite got it.


However, if anyone would like to join in a snap school, I'm up for it.


DM - would you deign to bring your harpsichord?

I can play and wasn't aware of any club other than a couple that are rather inconveniently located (Catford and Upper Norwood) and my experience in proper clubs where people are out for their EBU master points I've found rather intimidating. I have about 5 or 6 friends who play regularly when 4 are available (roughly once a week) and we'd all be interested in playing with others to learn new things or even teach them some of ours (I'd particularly like more experience of duplicate bridge - we play rubber/chicago 99% of the time). But without the nastiness that you can get from certain types of people in EBU-approved clubs.


If you're new to it, it does take quite a long time to learn the basics and I don't think you ever stop learning which is just one of the thinks that make it the King of card games!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
