EDF Xmas Drinks - Friday 10th December 2010 @ The Lodge


Recommended Posts

That kebab shop get FOUR STARS in terms of hygiene ratings! I checked - and was well surprised. I shall be going there more often LOL! Can someone tell me though, why oh why do I only ever crave kebab (wouldn't touch it at any other time) following EDF drinks? Weird.


Agreed that Jaws (adjudicator of longest tongue contest - which I believe you won LB ) has some nice moves.


Thanks for organising Weegee. And thanks for providing the usual escort-home service. Nice that Franster made it this time.


Really good to see everyone on such good form, especially surfbobby whom many of us hadn't seen since the Barry Road Race.


Georgia and R, the pair of you had me in stitches much of the time: tongue extensions indeed! And Geo, I LOVED your dress - gorgeous!


Just one minor complaint: lager and/or coke do not go with sambuca! No No No No No (yes: you know who you are!!!!).;-)

legalbeagle was very nice to meet you last night. As was Help-Ma-Boab.


And of course big thanks to Ladymuck for being a great co-host and helping me organize it.

Yes the new drink we

The longest tongue competition was great fun as was the moves being busted to the lovely 1920s music in the Lodge.


And the dancing continued in the EDT...to much amusement from the locals.


Was nice to visit 'Stab and Wine' for the very first time with LM.


Yes that new drink we pioneered last night called the Pambucca (Peroni mixed witb Zambucca)


Nice!!


My pictures from last nights shenanigans will be going up very soon.


Right Im off to continue my recovery from a stinking hangover!

Duuuuuudes!!! :)) Ash and I had a blast hahahaha we were trash bagged when we arrived as we had been at our work crimbo lunch since 1pm!!!! He got his wallet etc back, thank you all(and kelly too!) And I had the BIGGEST hangover on Saturday - I stank of sambucca as I seemed to have spilt more on me that what I drank.


I have a vague memory of Georgia and the chair - though I can't remember exactly what....hhehehehehe...

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
