Try this "Burns classic".... (works best with the accent)


When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,

He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown,

But now he has gotten a hat and a feather -

Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!


Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush!

We'll over the border and gie them a brush:

There's somebody there we'll teach better behavior -

Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

It's usually pretty obvious as it takes up most of the pub, but most of the venues are smaller than the Dog, so may not be so obvious this time (you couldn't miss it at the Drum).

The usual method it the rolled up left trouser-leg. Or search east dulwich forum on flickr for a few faces to look for.

you'll see many of us in the photo links from past drinks. They are on the forum somewhere


(I would normally post a link but work prevents me from digging around for them)


The Dog is actually quite a big venue - are we booking a seperate section? That'll help newcomers if can say go to the left hand bar or whatever


It is still the most nervous I have been in years - the first time I had to actually ask "scuse me are you the EDF" a year ago at the CPT

Don't worry about it Kel. I drank a bottle of red wine before going to my first one as I was nervous as hell and I really needn't have been because everyone one I met was lovely and very friendly and made me feel welcome. I was only there for an hour or so first time but I'd made the connection and have been going ever since with the added bonus of making some very nice new friends along the way.

    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel. 
    • Why aren't the barricades and stages coming down?
    • Can people try and be positive, it's a City, you're always bound to get noise. Try talking and getting on with neighbours, it makes life so much easier helping each other out, chatting, talking, laughing, crying and having fun together. 
    • But Mal, if someone is playing incessant music loudly in their garden and it is causing a nuisance then the council will send around a noise officer and they will have words with said person. The council, on the other hand, is happy to allow events that cause incessant noise disruption for thousands and thousands of people over multiple days over multiple weekends and are actively encouraging it. Does that not seem slightly hypocritical? Or does hypocrisy not count when there is revenue to be had? Perhaps this is the route those impacted need to take, just keep reporting the council-mandated events to the council's noise team over and over and over again during the duration of the disruption.....
