Sausage and chips.


Post-Second World War drag acts 'in the noisy, smoky, crowded pubs of South London and docklands? drag acts ?'were joining the singers and local comics in the line-up of entertainers for a Saturday night?. Who were these South London drag acts? Boy George mentions from his childhood (late 60s/early 70s) 'Bubbles the drag queen who ran a caff in Dulwich... Used to perform at the Valley Club in Dulwich and spent all his days dishing up sausage, egg and chips to navvies'. There was also George Pinaud, some-time Greenwich market stallholder and drag artist, who set himself up as the Pearly King of Greenwich and Deptford in 1958.


His song was of course;

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air.

They fly so high,

Nearly reach the sky,

Then like my dreams,

They fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding,

I've looked everywhere,

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air.


May I remark that your invitation so worded nearly made me NOT to reply.

Hi,


Thanks for that. I've read this info on line too. I'd just love to hear from anyone who actually knew of this character and also The Valley Club. Anyone know where it was?


Computed...what so upset you about my post???! I think it's fair to ask for genuine responses as this thread

Well I guess in that it was self-defeating, counter productive and rather presumptuous.


See, we're now talking about what you said, rather than what you'd like to know ;-)


Anyway - there definitely are people with that knowledge on the forum.


Probably if you post a response to me, and change the subject line to: "ED 60s/70s - Valley Club and Bubbles Drag Queen - any info?" you're more likely to get the response you need?


'Play research' makes it look like a joke thread ;-)

And there are those of us who just can't resist a tag line like "Please don't post if you have no information".




Sorry but it's like an almost unreachable itch...

Thanks for that.


I put play research because I wanted some genuine help, for some genuine research and if I'd put drag queen in the thread title it would have definitely received unwelcome responses.


I'm clearly looking for help in the wrong place.

Thanks for what?


For trying to give you an answer to your question and offer a constructive suggestion on how you might better find out what you're looking for?


Clearly you like to self-righteously tell other people what they're allowed to do, and then throw a hissy fit when you don't get what you want.


Grow up, kiddo.

This play is going to have lots of spelling mis-hakes...


Suggested ED titles...


"Shopping and Fretting"?...

"The Foie Gras Doesn't Stop Here Anymore"?...

"How Camberwick Green Was My Grove Vale"?...

"Much Ado About Northcross Rd"?...

"Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woofmarkthedog"?...

"A Few Good (single) Men"?...

"The Taming of the Jam Pan"?...

      Not fair on the patients or the consultants, either.  My brother's an ED consultant and he is on his knees - they all have the flu but have to work through it, because it's so busy at this time of year. Adding the strike to this just makes everything feel even more impossible and he's pretty low right now.

      Fireworks

      By Azalea · Posted

      These very anti social fireworks went on for at least fifteen years and were unbearable for both humans and pets.    Was extremely relieved that they moved a couple of years ago.  Never experienced such close proximity loud fireworks before.   But the ones that go off in the middle of the night are also very upsetting and annoying.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      The frequency of fireworks seems to be increasing. If revellers selected the low noise variety that would help, but the trend seems to be the louder the better. I do not think sensitivity to stimuli is the same as timidity. Unexpected, extremely loud bangs and unusual noises will startle most of us. Humans, unlike other animals, have the luxury of knowing what fireworks are and what the noise represents. Some animals do learn to cope but many do not. It could be their hearing is not as sensitive. We should not forget that many animals, including cats and dogs have hearing that is much more developed than ours.
