EDF Drinks - Friday 7th November at Hoopers

[georgia]

Hoopers

People gather from 7:30/8:00 onwards

It's just an excuse to have a drink with other people from the area.

[mockney piers]

Arbitrary but acceptable.

I'll check see if my mate Giles can make it.

[Jah Lush]

Damn! A week before pay day. Now, what with this credit crunch and whatnot I'm having to do some severe belt tightening. In fact my belt is now so tight I can barely breath. I want to go this as I haven't been in what used to be the Ivanhoe in 20 years and it looks very nice in there now, although the previous place wasn't bad, just a bit empty. Anyway, we'll see.

[Brendan]

Website?s wrong though. Hoopers is quite clearly in Camberwell. Denmark Hill perhaps but not East Dulwich.

[Moos]

Definitely Camberwell, but a nice downhill swerving stagger to Mooston. Looking forward to it.

[mockney piers]

Oooooh, I think you'll find it's in Peckham but in a sort of a greater Camberwell fashion.

Alan Dale would fill you in if he hadn't dropped off the face of the earth.

[Moos]

Well, I was going just on postcode. Although Copleston Road (I always think Copleston Copleston Copleston pie.. not quite right I know but can't help it) is just over the tracks and that's Peckham. And East Dulwich station is just a hop, skip and a jump away!

However, I'm happy to be corrected.

[SeanMacGabhann]

He's nicer than you are - bring him along!

Hoopers works for me - but if people are seriously going to bring up the whole "is it in ED" debate again I may top myself

[mockney piers]

"He's nicer than you are - bring him along! "

How about I just send him in my place.

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's crazy but it just might work!

[Brendan]

Does he realise it?s in Camberwell?

[mockney piers]

Giles would never set foot anywhere outside East Dulwich, serious issues with Agoraphobia that boy!!

So it's usually just a matter of lying to him, Estate Agents' blurb being very useful in that respect, I fully plan to get him north of the river on the strength of a Foxton's East Dulwich brochure alone one day

[Moos]

Goodness me, what a lot of threatened self-harm on the Forum today. Stop it you lot.

I don't think anyone was querying why we should go to the Hoopers, were they? It's just that it's a bit pretentious to say you're in ED* when you're in Camberwell or Peckham.

*and before I was aware of the Forum, I must admit I thought ED was just a quite nice inexpensive suburb. Now of course I have been educated and know it's an overpriced Nirvana.

Edited to put the 'a' in educated.....

[Brendan]

Venturing outside of ED can be dangerous. Instead of going to the Magnolia on Friday I ended up in Clapham and I?ve still got the bruises.

Hoopers is a very good pub though and is worth the risk IMMSHO.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hoopers is in SE5 - I used to live across the road ... and down a bit.

[AcedOut]

Darn it, I'm not going to be able to make it again. But if you're coming along for the run this evening, I'll see you for a drink after!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

IMMSHO

In my modest, so humble opinion?

[Sue]

Hey the Goose has a Hallowe'en night - e'en, even - at Hoopers the previous Friday :)

Not that I'm taking any opportunity to promote our events, at all :)

Siobhan Parr (aka Shivers) and Ain - both brilliant.

And to get back on topic - for once, the Goose at Hoopers doesn't clash with the forum drinks, hurrah!!!!

[The Goose]

whiskey - o johhny - o

rising up from down below :)-D

[Sue]

Get off the thread Flappers or it will be lounged.

Oh - we are in the lounge :-$

[The Goose]

[Sue]

Rubbish, get off it Flappers :))

[georgia]

[Strawbs]

We are a tentative for this one, will let you know closer to the time! xx
