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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
