Yay, good night! Particularly enjoyed chatting sensibly with Citizen, less sensibly with Franki, even less sensibly with Annaj and BN5, not at all sensibly with Michael Pickyourownwithus, gibbering at Mockers, giggling with Asset, screeching at Sean Mac and last but not at all least talking, er, handwidth :-$ with Chav and Hibbs.

hi, it was nice not to be the only newbie there, and good to chat.


did you make it to actually watch the run?

VBC - Embarrassingly I couldn't make it back from the gym in time (!) - which rightfully got me some stick. But I arrived just in time to miss Floating Onion being sick in a flower bed. Even better - Sean Macs summer sprinting gear - black boots, black jeans and a black jumper. Like a kind of Irish, Barry Road version of Johnny Cash.

Sorry to be so late back on after drinks messiness - captured painfully as always, andrewdblack, thank you!


4th July is the weekend before my massive exams, 11th the weekend after, so which do you want to see - a big bloke on edge making 1 pint last all night and sitting in the corner looking pale, or a big bloke out of control as pint number 9 gets sunk with chaser number 5, following by self doubt, self, loathing and a full dose of hugging strangers for being blurrygud?!?

Well Bignumber5 you've convinced me...put me down for the 11th!

Seriously it would be better for me - the 4th is my first Friday at new job so might get asked out for drinks (if they don't hate me on sight!). Alternatively I might like to run back to the friendly forum folk at the end of that week - so really whichever, I will be there, fingers crossed.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
