Jus a quick note to say how lovely Friday was - lots of familiar faces but also a chance to talk more with Strawbs, Jaws and David Carnell, the prankster that is Azul, Brendan, and Chav - who once again entertained us thoroughly.

AndrewcBlack - I am sure you once againn captured the evening, looking forward to seeing the results.


Looking forward to the next.

The Gowlett was my first Forum drinks more than a year ago (ah! the memories) and I'd definitely go for that again or the Plough or the Clockhouse. All good choices. I think I've missed the last three or four jolly-ups so I will hopefully try to get to the next one.

Happy with all of the above choices


We seem to be on lap 2 of previous venues - which I'm more than happy with. But just wanted to say I'm also open to the idea of venturing slightly further afield to your Nuns Heads, Ivy Housees etc


(I'd REALLY like us to go to the Montague Arms on Queens Rd.... but that's probably too far. I've been before but here is a recent review from BITE)


[quote name=I went here for the first time yesterday having been "dragged" out to the wilds of southeast London for a Sunday roast by one of my best friends. All my grumbling about the fuss and buses stopped the instant I walked through the door though.


The interior has to be seen to be believed. A marvellous mix of seafaring paraphernalia' date=' tools, taxidermy, and other assorted fittings made for one of the most interesting inns I?ve ever been in.


London Pride, Speckled Hen, and Black Sheep were the ales on and several pints of the latter were had with a great value Sunday roast. Not really a place for vegetarians, apart from the assorted mammals adorning the walls, but there were two dishes for those who don?t eat meat.


We were also regaled with some most excellent renditions of "The Wheels on the Bus", "Run Rabbit Run", and "Norwegian Wood" on a keyboard]

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
