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?

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
