You're all too old, musicians should be taken out and shot at the age of 40.


Of course in 5 years time when I turn 40 I shall revise this ;-)

I have been following a lot on this forum for a while now and rarely post anything , but it does seem to me ,that

some people enjoy slating off Buisness people who are trying to make a living (very hard to do in this age)weather it be a publican or a band !

At the end of the day ,were all trying to make a living.

If you have the time to sit onfront of a screen allday , slagging off people , well it seems you have no work , and must be scrounging benifit,s . No one else has that type of time to spare, unless your the Victor Meldrew type .

I like and agree with Kingy,s post,s ,and would like to no when his band is playing again in East Dulwich.

I'm guessing you probably drink in The Cherry Tree? Wild guess, I know.


ETA: Would you like to share with us your definition of "the Victor Meldrew type"?

this is all wrong - wrong wrong wrong - face to face real - this is wrong - you know where i will be and you know who I am cos I post the gigs on here - it's not a 'forum' it's a bulletin board - there's the gig - take it or leave it - full stop

you would get more people to go to a gig round here these days if it was affiliated to a knitting/crochet club

Registered 2008 though, Da Manager 2013.


Oh sad, sad person that I am :)


ETA: And generally, the lower case "i"s are a CT giveaway, which don't appear in Dazzer's - er - case.


ETA: Though the use of "slating" is interesting, I give you ....

Well our next gig isn't affiliated to a knitting/crochet club, and it's been sold out for weeks :)


You seem to have a thing about full stops, Kingy?


ETA: And yes, face to face is real, so it's a bit hard to understand why you chose to call a pub owner a "knob" on a public forum, with no immediate explanation, and no apparent provocation save the mention of his pub on a thread.


ETA: And subsequently called him even worse, which I'm not going to repeat here.

Miller Anderson & Dr King will be playing @The Draft House on Sunday 13th October 2013 between 4:00 pm and 6:0 pm

We popped in briefly, and were amazed at the size of the band!


The place was rammed, lots of people enjoying roasts. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth.
