Hey everyone!


I missed out on the last ones as was away but will be coming along to the next ones. I have a different drinks night on at the Rye that night so will come afterwards.


For info they do rope off areas out the back, there are normally about 40 or 50 of us and we get the marquee area but then all behind that is the back garden area that could totally be reserved for the EDF, that way both of my nights could be integrated and I wouldnt have to travel!!! (selfish I know ;-))

what's this obsession with the Mag, that'll be like the seventh time there. Besides, as far as I can see all that's changed is the colour (thank god!!!) the name (meh) and the addition of the flock 'please no more flock' wallpaper.

Liqourish and Bishop on a Friday night? I can't see how that would work - the noise alone would make the last Mag do seem like a graveyard


(That's not me having a dig at either place btw - but they are just waaay to busy at the weekends IMO)

In his defence, and in the defence of grumpy old married men everywhere, I think it is mainly the flocking wallpaper that has got to him.


Personally I think wallpaper should have race cars on it. Like I had in my room before I got married.

I went, and it's fine. I thought the staff were nice, even quite fancied one of them *gasp*, but it's just, flock flipping wallpaper and low-hanging retro lamps, it's like making a stark chrome and pine bar circa 2001, 10 years after it seemed like a good idea.


OK, flock's only dominated for the last 6 or 7, but come on, at least try something original. Maybe lots of bric-a-brac stuck to the walls and ceiling, it may still be sh!t, but it's almost retro by now n'est ce pas?


As Mrs Mockney can testify, they've plenty of teething troubles, having over-charged us (pence rather than pounds) twice in a row, and one of the barmaids (the cute one as it goes) got a bit snotty at her. But then she pulled a sort of 'do you know who we are, we're from the forum you know' and I was so mortified I had to apologise profusely to the manager.


Long story short, it's nice and enough and I'll be enjoying more pints there, it's just we always seem to go to the Mag. How about the never before visited Fox-on-the-hill or Phoenix or even Oriwisu Spot, huh, HUH?!

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
