I ran off to the bus stop to meet my daughter and her friends at the Temple Bar in Walworth Road, saw Jah, felt a bit cold, so kindly accepted Mr Lush's offer to walk me home!


Drank some brandy with said Jah, chatted even more sh!t than I had at the Dog, and then after waving the merry Mr Lush off, collapsed in my bed. Woke up this morning feeling rather delicate, so am glad I never managed to make it to the Temple Bar!

'Tis indeed the lovely Kalamity who doesn't work in that church.

Yes Buggie, it always slips by soo quickly, but great to see everyone and so many new faces.


SteveT, that's just the best description I've ever read of forum drinks...perfect.

"...he reminded me of a youthful Ian Hislop from the 'Have I got news 4u'."! But like you say you did see me all the way across the room and you probably still had chlorine in your eyes from your swim.


Good to meet people again, I'm with you Keef, I didn't realise some of these people were there, I must walk around a bit more next time.


And agree about the staff coming across as rude, and from the start of the evening every order seemed to be met with a sigh and a look that said "do you lot have to keep ordering drinks?".


Anyway it was a goodnight, nice one Georgia for arranging it, and I look forward to the next one.

Am croaking nicely this morning. Good to meet everybody and glad I fell off the wagon last night with some style I like to think, I have memory of Guiness with a Baileys chaser before leaving The Dog.


As Mockney noted a group of us ended up in the Oriwisu Spot, its essentialy an African pub, run by Africans for Africans. It took seconds for them to welcome 5 strangers into their pub and just minutes before pool playing and interesting conversation had started. Great place, great people.


This followed by Wii bowling - sorry Sean, Piers popped my cherry on that one!

Hello, I am posting on behalf of my brother Lucas (xanthe) who had a car accident last night apparently on his way to your forum drinks in Dulwich, his car was completely totalled but thankfully he escaped with only minor injurys but quite bad whiplash and has been kept in hospital overnight for observation, his car was hit by a drunk driver apparently but obviously reports are still confused as it has only just happened, he asked me to post this message for him on his behalf, hope i've done it right.


Rhona

Well, I think I know who that particular message is meant for, (I think he might have meant you to PM it) but anyway, what an awful thing to have happened, please send him our best wishes and thoughts and Rhona it was really sweet of you to take the effort to, in what must be a stressful time,to let us know.

Guys,


Sorry I didn't make it...like I was missed :-( All this training, and stapying off the sauce was my reason for staying away, and knowing i was due a long run today. Mark my words though, I'll be there for the April one!


Hope you all had a good time

So, no one doing it again this eve then? ah well I shall do it for ya all then :p


Chav my dear remember Feb also has an extra day this year ;-)


Yes was certainly good to meet ya all last night, and compared to the ppl I'd been wiv all day you lot were normal :o hehe

Absolutely fab night. Lovely to meet so many friendly faces during the so-called gloomy month of Jan. Although I have to agree that the barstaff had an cool attitude to us must admit it didn't spoil my time and I rather think that not having a space reserved for us made for some better mingling. I say "standing up is the new sitting down"

I have been in 2 minds as to whether or not to go clubbing with Aussie friends tonight... Your post is spurring me on, I can't turn my back on a challenge! Which one were you last night then Kel?

    • Quite a few going off tonight. Diwali is over, or so I thought. Anyone know what the special occasion is?
    • I got this  interesting email today. At least some (albeit apparently very few) shoplifters seem to have been arrested, though I wonder what the criteria were. Obviously that is only the ones arrested as a result of this particular initiative. Met Engage Logo Joint Partnership Success – Operation Roscoea, Southwark We’re pleased to share the success of Operation Roscoea, a joint partnership anti-social behaviour (ASB) initiative carried out in Southwark last week. This multi-agency operation saw eight partner representatives from six support organisations conducting outreach patrols alongside officers from our Trust, Confidence and Engagement Team. These joint efforts led to numerous new referrals into support services, ensuring vulnerable individuals are connected with the help they need. Neighbourhood policing teams also carried out joint patrols with Southwark Council wardens, who now hold newly designated enforcement powers. This enhanced collaboration has strengthened our collective ability to respond to ASB and community concerns. Operational highlights included: Six arrests made by officers from North Southwark Town Centre Team, St George’s, North Walworth, Faraday, Newington Ward, Chaucer, and the Proactive Crime Team: 2 for possession of a Section 5 firearm (CS spray) 1 for possession of Class A and B drugs 1 individual wanted for theft 2 for shoplifting ASB enforcement activity included: 2 Community Protection Notices issued to persistent offenders Numerous intelligence reports submitted to support ongoing investigations This operation is a testament to the dedication and teamwork of our local officers and partner agencies. Thank you to everyone involved for your continued commitment to making Southwark safer and more resilient. We look forward to building on this momentum in future deployments.

    • I've seen it in the same place the past two Fridays. I'm assuming it's some sand that's left over from when the old sand filters failed. When that happened there was lots of sand on the bottom. I'm guessing it'll only go if they use a pool vacuum to clean the bottom.
    • Maybe because you would have thought such an incident  would have been publicised, or  someone on here would know what it was? On the face of it it seems odd, especially if they were on blues and twos, if there was no serious  reason for it. Unless, as I said, it was some kind of training exercise?
