Was bit murky when I looked in but swore I saw David Threlfall...


..and a local match seller told me that the 'international/world famous' star referred to was Hugh B. not Mr Mac.


Giggsy was definitely practising his inswingers though.


Believe Sheerah and Ms. Logan were in another bar altogether.


And Monty was in the old bar with Andrew Marr and Fred the Shred before it got bulldozed

The Premiership footballer confessed all to his wife the other day, wife subsequently "devastated", Ryan Giggs doesn't play for Man Utd against Arsenal today as he has 'a touch of flu'. Team mates realise identity of super-injunction holder, play sh-t and get beaten 1-0. Just a theory, mind.

Wasn't i being obvious enough? i did credit Gerald Wiley (Ronnie Barker's nom de plume) and he used it thus "Tonight's news will be read in broil. I'm sorry I'll feel that again..."

Hmmm maybe but... Cook first used it in 1976 on Derek and Clive (Live) and I think Barker may have already used it by then so maybe Cook stole it from Barker? (cries of "surely not!" "never!" etc)


ETA: the quote -(circa 197?)


Scene, Barker taking off a BBC newsreader, shoulders and face shot looking straight into the camera, very serious....


" And that was the news for our sighted viewers. We now continue with the news in Broille....."

- pause, with puzzled look on his face, looks down at his hands floating over a big book

"Sorry, I'll just feel that again!"

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
