That was me El Pibe. Sorry about that.

A few months ago I was in the EDT watching football when a bloke came up to me and demanded know the time and if I was from "round here" - old-skool, football awayday style.


I started to tell him to politely go away, but as soon as he heard my accent he quickly changed saying something like "oh yeah, no, I can hear where you're from...sorry mate."


He then went on to rant about "all the f@@King film producers that live round here now" before moving onto someone else.

It sounds like you have fallen into bad company ;) . I used to go to all the Irish bars. I married an English girl and now Irish pubs seem to be off the agenda. But hey, we both have a Rory. :)

I often have my revenge, poor girl has to see west ham games from time to time, and Spain's win over Ireland almost made up for a decade of Ireland panning England in the rugby!!


I managed to sneak Pedro in as a middle name for El Pibi?o mark II.

Well they can go to some cheap shop, pay - what? under a pound probably? - and get some vile egg covered in mainly rusk with a tiny bit of pork hidden somewhere in it, or they can pay four quid and get a gourmet egg covered in black pudding .....


Or they can go to a chippie and get a pickled egg ....


They'll probably complain that the beer doesn't have a strange off taste, as well .....

I absolutely love the new Cherry Tree!! The new managers are fantastic and very welcoming. 12 of us booked a table last Sunday to try out their Sunday lunch! I've to to say its by far the best & most delicious roast I have eaten in ages... Apart from my own ! I ordered the slowly cooked pork belly roast! Delicious my partner hd the beef , he really enjoyed it! Really nice crowd the sun was beaming all day which helped.


Im looking forward to popping along again with more friends next Sunday. Staff were great, I think it will take a while to fill up but by far the nicest bar is ED! About time!

Did you notice if there was any hot water in there? No hot water in the Ladies although it looked up to date decoration wise. I find it hard to believe it's kosher to not have any hot water in a toilet? Hygiene?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      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.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      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....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      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
