On the contrary, merely an observation as to what EDFers find more interesting. Did I suggest that I expected anyone wanting these guys to stay down there? No. Fallacious nonsense on your part.

Really??? Wow, you learn something new everyday. I've touched a raw nerve here. Someone asking how to conduct their lives on an internet forum is clearly as addictive as watching reality shows such as the x factor and BB for you, and demonstrates a singular lack of social skills on the part of the thread author. I have no more to add.

Regarding your intention of dumping your girlfriend.


You could of course try to explain the predicament that you are now faced with, after a night out with the lads, where it was decided by them that it was time for you to conform to the tradition of your faith. Male circumcision.

A public house wooden table in the rear gardens in the dark might not be the best or sterile place to perform this operation, never the less, a cut throat razor was found and a slightly inebriated friend attempted to remove shall we say the onion ring, but the operative tripped over the protruding leg of the table and sliced off the whole onion.

A call on the mobile phone brought a Paramedic, who had to stop the flow of blood, he admitted he had never been trained to do this before on this part of the body, he had to keep the onion alive but carried no instrument that could do this, he just placed it back where it had come from, and a drop of Super Glue each side, it did stick in place but so did the rubber glove of the Paramedic, who had to remove the glove to allow the casualties removal to hospital.

During the consultation later with the Surgeon who did the operation, it was found that the onion had in fact been replaced at a forty five degree angle to the left, this would take time adjusting to, as if using a Public Urinal the person to your immediate left would become wet, you should therefore turn forty five degrees to your right to be on target of the urinal.

As you know it is not possible to turn your right wrist more than forty five degrees with your arm bent across your body, so you must become ambidextrous and use your left hand to position yourself whilst using the toilet.

I strongly recommend that you try experimenting standing in the shower with the door shut, you will soon find the angle to stand, once this is found, you can dispose of the newspapers on the toilet floor and replace the toilet roll back on its roller to the left that you had to remove as it got wet.

This will take many months to heal and might not regain its proper function ever again.


This explained to your Girl you could add;


I realise that you cant be expected to continue to be as close as we were, I must respect your decision if you want to break off our relationship, and find a more upright partner to share your life.

^ Now that is very dangerous...with massive 'backfire' potential!


Any good caring loving woman will see this as a sensitive man fully in touch with his emotions.

She will more than likely be prepared to live with this and support you through this traumatic time in your life...


Stuck with her for ever = fail

I'd recommend le Chardon - the tiled Walls give great acoustics and the proximity of the tables mean that the entire restaurant would be able to follow the scene. Even better do it on a Wednesday so the magician guy could cheer her up afterwards with a little trick. Or just go for the rodeo option

You seem angry, Emerson, and not a little confused. Has someone dumped you in public recently?

Angry? no, confused, how so? Please expalin yourself. No I'm married and possess life/social skills. How about you? Do you have a partner, or are you unloved.

Jeremy and rosieh are right.


Anyway, just because someone asks on an internet forum doesn't mean they don't have life/social skills. The variety of responses on the edf is almost always guaranteed to be interesting and funny, guessing that's why people get drawn in. It can be like reading someone else's personal emails at times*.

    • 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!
