Harry - we have a spot booked in the left hand bar (as you face the pub) and by 9pm or so I'd be amazed if you couldn't tell if it was us or not!


Or you could do what I did at my first one and wander into clusters of people with a look that says "??????" and 10 times out of 10 someone will say "you looking for the forum - that's us"


See you there


PS thanks CWALD for sorting out my typing - it's gone to the fogs lately ;-)

Morning all!

Just arrived a work with time for a quick cooked breakfast (the only thing a hospital canteen is good for) before starting my shift.

Great fun last night, lovely to see people again and some new faces.


Right, off to save lives and stamp out disease.


ps - completely forgot last night - Bellenden Belle texted me to say she couldn't make it after all and I promised to say hi form her and make her apologies then promptly forgot. Sorry BB!

Yeah, everytime I ordered drinks, the one with the glasses on slammed every glass down on the bar like he was annoyed at me for bothering him!


On the bright side, I'm pretty sure he undercharged me twice... Normally I would say something, but with an attitude like that, I hope it comes out of his wages!

Ooh, Err! Very nice evening indeed. Met some lovely people for the first time plus the regular friendly faces. Thought the inflatable *Bob* and Alan propped up at the bar was a masterstroke. Look forward to the next gathering.


Thanks for organising another great evening Georgia.

like I said annaj, a heart of darkest evil


keef, I had the same attitude from them. Not only that but all evening everytime they had to walk through the group it was non stop tuttage. If it was just one bar staff having a bad night I'd say fair enough but they just seemed to collectively dislike us before we got through the door. Owned by the same group as The Plough and the difference in attitude is like chalk and cheese


Lot's of new people last night, most of whom I didn't get to talk to anything like as much as I wanted to - we had Hibbs, Kalamity Kel, buggie, chuff, SteveT (wish I'd read his getting-to-know-you entry before I spoke to him as well), Nuala Coll and others - apologies to those I've forgotten


Oh yes - Jah was introducing a friend of his, and said his friend was just a shy lurker - the friend took umbrage at this and said "I do more than lurk".. "Do you!?" ... "yes!" ... "who as??" ... "EdOldie" .. "you're not EDOldie!!!"... and so on and on... t'was most amusing


CWALD - where DID you end up last night? Last I saw was you deciding on a last minute change of planning and heading for the Walworth Rd?

and there I was thinking they just didn't like me.


I managed to salvage about 5 photos from last night and here they are.


I wuold like to point out that the first one genuinely is the carpet in Oriwisu Spot, and what a nice welcoming (and superlatively late opening) place it was too!!!

I dropped in for the last hour having had a late swim at the pulse and met lots of 'names' and spent the majority of the evening talking to Bagpuss whose name I've always liked since a kid as it was such a quality programme, and CWALD whom everyone calls affectionately 'Chav'. They were most patient with my dodgy hearing and repeated things when I leaned towards them hand pressed to lobe. Sean McG spoke to me and had not a trace of Irish brogue? I saw 'Mark' the founder across a crowded room and he reminded me of a youthful Ian Hislop from the 'Have I got news 4u'. Annaj, Asset, MLteenie, Michael Paleologous (such an easy guy and such a difficult name) they were all there inc Mockney who said he wouldn't.

Just a thought now it is getting bigger what about name tags?

Does anyone know a badge maker? Would it be a good idea? Discuss!

PS I shall go earlier next time and anyone else who has never ventured to a forum 'do' have no fears, it is like meeting old friends that you dont recognise.

Yep - a great evening and considering I'd resigned my self to a quiet night in, I'm glad that I went out in the end.

Great to meet some new faces too :)-D


Salvage Mockney? You and Andrew were like the paparazzi last night, did someone half inch your cameras to stop you snapping? ;-)

Morning!


Feel a bit rough. We'd already had a couple before we went to Sema Thai (recommended) and thence to the drink-up.


Lots of good folks there. CitizenED, Sean, Michael, SteveT (you're spot on, BTW), Lozzy, Bagpuss, Buggie, Ladygooner (warm up those Motown 45s, woman!), Jah, Keef, and Andrew were those I chatted to, and saw other faces that I haven't yet met properly. The drinking was fast and so was the night unfortunately. I genuinely wanted to go to the Drum afterwards, but thank the Lawd I didn't! You never get out of there alive!


It's my birthday today so I'm going t get on the champers and choccie after I've had a fry-up. Didn't catch the name of the person whose birthday it was last night but hope you enjoyed yourself.


Lotsa love to you all! See you at the next one.

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
