The Lodge (Lounged)

[Serge_A_Storms]

Hello,

My first post!

Not sure I'm into an East Dulwich private members bar and restaurant? I understand that it's down to personal choice but personally I can't see the point. I also prefer inclusive rather than exclusive.

Am I missing something?

[HonaloochieB]

Inclusive, eh?

Not our style ol' man. No offence or any of that sort old toffee, but here's a couple of quid for the 185 to Lewisham.

They're more 'of the people' down that neck of the woods. Tell 'em I sent you.

Catford's tolerable enough, I'm told.

[AllforNun]

the lodge ? what are you talking west london ?

[Serge_A_Storms]

Nah, It's a members bar and restaurant above the EDT. You pay a yearly fee for it.

[Brendan]

I'm not too happy about it either to be honest. Exclusive clubs, secret handshakes and private members bars the next steps could well be virgin sacrifice and golf.

[AllforNun]

Well then they stole the name from a nottinghill club, thats a bit f***ing sad.....and this from the home of alternative comedy...,................back in the days.

[Serge_A_Storms]

Are any of you going to join?

Yeah, and no one wants golfers hanging around.

There's an existing thread about it here.

Gyms tend to be private members' clubs but, for some reason, they don't seem to annoy people as much.

[AllforNun]

no problems with private members club, but for f'cks sake be a bit more original. If your a massive member then feel free to join...

I however will be speedballin on a park bench until the day that i die.....power to the people, and the royal parks people x

[Serge_A_Storms]

I tried to find a thread but couldn't find one.

[AllforNun]

Check you sewing box then

Is everyone always this nice on this forum? or are you all trying especially hard? ;-)

[TheePope]

Shurely a private members club above the EDT is a brilliant idea?

Will keep all the tossers in one place and free up a few seats in the other pubs and bars.

This was tongue in cheek by the way.

But true.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

This is the thing, right, I'd say a good two thirds of the people here consider themselves to be middle class

(am not one of them and proud of it!) and most of them hate the idea/existence of it :)) which should give you some indication towards the responses so far. As if all the pubs around here haven't been ruined enough as it is!

I hear the CPT isn't too bad.

As you can see, we all make a special effort for a new chap. Welcome aboard, and some sort of ol' rot.

Next time yer in The Lodge, give that saucy filly Maisie a sound slap on her rump, and tell 'er to give you a double of what y' fancy on my slate.

Say the Major sent ya.

Thread locked lounged as it is going off topic.

The Lodge may be a club in Notting Hill, but surely its Masonic implications are far more sinister? I think we're going to see the dashing chaps around town of ED going around trousered with their trouser legs rolled up.

Serge_A_Storms, welcome to the Forum - as you can see, it's a friendly place! You've just stumbled across two particularly typical characteristics of regular posters - the irresistable urge to be irreverent, and a deep suspicion of new things. Being proud of not being middle class is also very typical of the EDF, although mathematically suspicious, as SKS observed.

When the Lodge closes in 2014 because of the "October 2013 Did They Or Didn't They Bar Manager And Cook Scandal" we'll all be moaning like mad that we loved it and why did it have to go. It's just far, far too new right now to be any good.

[Asset]

is this thread de-lounged?

I didn't used to be middle class but I am now and proud of it! Perhaps I'll join a private club to celebrate.

Hello new person - don't take any ribbing too seriously.

[*Bob*]

It's always best to attend private members clubs as the guest of someone else.

That way you can enjoy any benefits but still slag it off with a clear conscience when you leave.

As an aside, someone told me the other day that Golf originally meant Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. No idea if there's any truth in it, but wouldn't be entirely surprised.

[HonaloochieB]

It used to be known as 'goff' didn't it?

Someone run along and do a google, I can't be fagged.

forget the children, i want one of them there megaphone's .....
