RD - what was it made me think you were Irish?

The World Cup draw nearly did not happen tonight:


"Two people arrested after discovery of a bomb at the world cup draw".........


Two arrested at World Cup draw


Paddy and Mick were arrested after shouting at a dark skinned man " Oi Thierry, keep your thieving hands off our bomb....."

Ratty, I've always thought the majority of Englands' match going support comes from fans outside of the top Premiership teams, although they won't admit it, most fans want a chance of glory and if their club can't provide it then they look to the national team...

Well it is our first in 29 years ! Might mean little but at least its something at long last, acorns and oak trees

England are now second favourites at 5-1 with William Hill.... "we can win it this time" etc etc


It's always interesting for us non England fans to watch the gradual media hysteria building up down here. The Tartan Army have the opposite problem - we expect to lose! Whilst my prediction is a quarter final exit to Germany on penalties England have to be happy with that draw. Good luck to them though.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
