No excuses, I just wont be there - I've seen more than enough fights spilling out of the Castle to give it a wide berth...

I am liking the adventure of The Castle but am concerned that some might be put off by its reputation. We should pick venues that are palatable to all. We dont want to get into name calling of those who just dont feel comfortable going into any proposed venue, it needlessly alienates peeps who are then unlikely to turn up to any other EDF gig.


Unless of course that reputation is completely unfounded and regulars can vouch for it.


I was convinced that the EDT was frequented bt drunks and ner-do-wells, and then I went in there and found, well ....

The Castle is not all that bad, and a big group of people will have no trouble... However, you are right Mike and we should try and pick venues for all, so I hereby state that I shall stay away from any drinks in The Bishop, so it should never be considered ;-)

I forgot to say what a good time I had at the Friday drinks. Meeting many of the regulars again and some newbies too. And finding out that EDoldie is someone I've been friends with since I was a five-year-old came as a complete surprise.

I'm constantly amazed at the surliness of the bar staff in the Dog. It is run by a lovely friendly couple in Duncan and Nikki and I suppose it doesn't really reflect well on them for their staff to be such a miserable bunch of surly gits. They could learn a lot from the wonderful friendly staff at the CPT.

Really? That's odd.

We live nearby and are kept awake or woken pretty much every weekend by people shouting out front. Sometimes it's all just friendly banter, if a bit loud for 1am in a residential area, but there's a fight probably twice a month I'd say and we've seen a couple of really scary beatings going on.

I'm sure most of the people who go there are perfectly nice, but I'm not sure I'd ever go in.

Looks like we are gravitating towards the Uplands on 29/2 - large enough pub to hold us, is acceptable to all and is in East Dulwich.


Maybe we should alternate ED pubs with neighbouring area pubs - Dulwich last time, ED this time, etc.

Exactly right... We could one day take over the whole of Inside 72 like we did with The Drum that time... Only problem is The Drum was basically empty until we arrived, whereas we'd have to get in to Inside nice and early or we'd stand no chance!


I might get shot down for this, but a forum drinks is probably the one thing that would get me in to The Vale. At the end of the day it would give us a chance to see what it was like lately, plus we'd have a big group of us together, and we could even have a boogie if we so desired... :-S

As was shown at the Dog on Friday where standing room only and pissy barstaff still could not prevent us from having a good time: for that reason I agree that we could try the Vale. That plus the fact some people on here actually like the place.

Exactly what Citizen said. I have had some great nights in there (a long time ago), as have some of the NTV crew. It was all ruined by the attitude of the owner/manager, but if a big crew of us were there it could be fun, and it serves til 2, so no groups of us standing cold on the street at midnight wondering where to go next.


Come on, if it's that sh!t, there are plenty of other places we can go to.


Anyway, another time perhaps, Uplands 29th?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
