Black Cherry - What's happened to it?

[demery]

Change of ownership?

Change of clientele?

[Brendan]

I dunno. I just got back from Lordship Lane and it?s still there.

[snorky]

seems to be turning into a refuge for cackling hags and lairy w**kers, all palying chicken with the traffic as they dash across to the corner shop for more Marlboro lights

Or have I got that wrong again?

[demery]

spot on.

[Brendan]

Probably right. I also think it is a favourite with the ?Come into ED for the evening? crowd.

This is just an observation on my part and in no way xenophobic. If people are from, even as far afield as Penge and they have all their shots I?m fine with that. Just as long as they keep their hands off our women.

[bon3yard]

Is this some sort of biblical swarm of chavs? Well, no doubt we've brought it upon ourselves.

[suzilucy]

quote=Brendan]Just as long as they keep their hands off our women.

Ug.

But a lovely Ug - nice to know you care Brendan ;-)

[*Bob*]

Careful, suzilucy.. Brendan's a furriner. An import. Not to be trusted.

Our women indeed. The cheek.

[KalamityKel]

I believe they have also invaded the EDT and Bishop on the odd occassion.

I did witness one nearly colliding with a bus as she staggered backwards into the road waving her wine glass about. Even the driver honking his horn, as it were, didn't make much of an impact :-|

What's the world coming to!

[Brendan]

Sorry *Bob* did I say our? I meant my.

Cripes people will be selling them on ebay next. :-S

[Spangles30]

How dare people from Penge come to East Dulwich.

[Brendan]

I think the talking 176 is an attempt to solve the problem. You see they used to just get off the bus anywhere and wander around aimlessly bumping into things. Now it tells them where they are and where the bus is going. The problem is that Goose Green is in fact 3rd generation Pengelian rhyming slang for home(derived from the 17th century pensgrenne). So there is some confusion occurring and Black Cherry is cashing in.

[Spangles30]

That explains it then Brendan.

[Brendan]

Anything else you want a completely credible explanation for, I?m your man.

[macroban]

The rules of East Dulwich Road Crescent?

[david_carnell]

Which game do you need the rules for:

Trumpington's Variations', or 'Tudor Court Rules'?

[Brendan]

Trumpington's is best avoided at the moment. I would wait until the hearing is over and the tribunal has made a proper decision on the use of cohesive variants.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

East Dulwich Road Crescent? This is a Christian country I'll have you know. Christopher Columbus - whatever next.

PS: Tudor Court Rules went out with the monasteries.

[david_carnell]

Very well. Tudor Court rules it is then. Hmm, well perhaps if you set up a thread to be played in the lounge and watch closely it should become sufficiently clear for you to join in. Obviously becoming a decent player will take many years, and my own level of grand-master a lifetime of devotion.

[Siduhe]

No objection to Tudor Court Rules, but will Gruntfuttock's Posture remain in force for the entirety?

[Brendan]

Of course, except under the Penge convention, obviously.

[James]

Can we not declare East Dulwich an independent state like in Passport to Pimlico? That way we can prevent people from Penge getting further than Forest Hill.

[Brendan]

Only under Trumpington's Variations' James.

[karter]

The black Cherry seems the same to me, a very good local bar. Look forward to the building extension so there's lots more space.

[ratty]

Do they allow nudity??

Fook it, I'm off to the Gowlett!
