Ahem!

In Christian hagiography Saint George (ca. 275-281 ? April 23, 303[2]) was a soldier of Greek-speaking Anatolia in the Roman Empire, venerated as a Christian martyr.


Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is immortalised in the tale of George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.


St. George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.

The celebration of a patron saint's day is a deep routed sign of insecurity (based on dipsoria(SP?)eg irish in New York, or just being small eg welsh (numbers and stature)) so the rise of St Georges day in recent years tells us something about our growing english insecurity...maybe we are finally fed up of subsidising all our celtic brethren whilst getting the blame for everything and being governed by them. Independence for England...for god, for etc

I truly believe that it is possible that Keef has already kicked the bucket and is one of the undead walking among us - it would explain so much. And when exactly did he get knighted? For what? Services to eyeliner?

    • I wasn’t asking if anyone would vote Reform? But as you’ve brought it up. It was a very theatrical speech as usual by Ed Davey. Why he mentioned Nigel Farage’s name 38 times but Keir Starmer’s name just once in his once in a while chance to push his party’s plans for the future I don’t know. There was nothing laid out by this man in the plan for the future and his general election grab for 2029?  
    • Who? Danny Thompson or Richard Thompson?! I don't think we could/could have afforded either of them! We only started the Goose in 2008. Danny Thompson to the best of my knowledge (understandably given his instrument) only performed with other musicians, usually very well known. It never occurred to us  to ask about Richard Thompson. I think we just assumed our venues would be  too small, even DHFC.
    • I'm blue-skying here, but you did ask. In the US, there's a franchise called 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not!' It's an 'Odditorium' - basically a museum of the strange, bizarre and barely credible. They always seem quite busy - I reckon a British version could work on that site and bring some cash into the area. They also offer an affordable, quality casual dining experience. It could be called something like 'Dave's You're Shitting Me?' or 'Bob's I Shit You Not!' or 'Jimmy Hill's 'Yeah? Chinny Reckon!' And I'd like to see a helipad. And a 'Koala Kuddlery' And a windfarm. And a Mini 'Spoons.
    • Gosh, free meal for two.. peanuts as in your time.. well, I thought the salad bar was great, unlimited non alcoholic drinks, free bread, butter, etc, god knows at least six dressings for salads, plus oil and vinegar to do yourself.. yup, main courses were not fab but equally better than Mac Donald’s burgers and always had veggies options, plus fish, and chicken.. Gather one sadly around Beulah Hill area has also closed…. Certainly would not have beaten the door down to get there, but equally reasonable price with unlimited salad bar plus various desserts at an affordable price for all… Not a fan of Wetherspoons at all - all chucked in microwave but equally  can’t knock them for prices and certainly booze is cheap compared to Lordship Lane eateries.. So, what do we all think is going to replace the non exsistent pub? Or would like to see?  If Dulwich Estates were not landlords.. I will start — social housing, new health centre, Aldi/Lidl/Iceland…A building that incorporates community areas/ library/ roof top space for planting, rooms let out at affordable prices, let’s go crazy here, along the same theme, opportunity to ask local residents what they would like or, who ever leases it or buys it to have an open day and show to all interested if not a block of flats, plans and suggestions… might a well dream on.. maybe, will be second hand car garage… tent city in containers - least would not be homeless and have your own space, key and lock…
