That was a pretty good entrance - and Maurice has since become an essential Edfer.


What about the thread about the scratched Porsche! certainly caused a lot of heat. One guy took real exception and threw all his toys out the pram and promised not to come back and the other threw a hissy fit before warming to the banter and sort of climbing on board. (I'm deliberately not searching that thread to see if I remember things correctly)

I loved the limericks. 42 pages and counting...including these gems:


There was a new shop named Moxton

that moved to East Dulwich from Hoxton

Their slippery eels..

Resembled baby seals

But was soon bought out by Foxton


When Dulwichmum had a book launch

she had to work hard on her paunch

So she stopped eating cake

For cake eating sake

And stuck with the creamy blancmange



Maurice wants to know about crack

He's hoping that in Santa's sack

There'll be uppers and downers

and a few Golden Browners

A spliff a few Es and some smack

And how about that EDF Scrabble Game somebody spotted in November?

They have never proved anything about Shakespeare and the monkey.

Well the Psalms are attributed to David and Saul but not being familiar with their specific cases I cannot comment on how much time they had on their hands or indeed how many monkeys they had in their employment. Although I believe David left Saul a few wives as inheritance. They lived in what is predominantly citrus country anyway.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
