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.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
