Next EDF Drinks - Friday 5th Dec at The Wishing Well Inn


Recommended Posts

My sister's godfather used to run a crochet website called Slipknot. They used to get endless abuse from Slipknot fans for not actually being about Slipknot.

If you see what I mean.



Hmmmm it's been a long week, I promise I think of some more interesting conversation before tonight....

They said the prize was a barrel of beer, but I think they probably meant a gallon, either one I'm happy!

I used to do the pub quiz there about 15 years ago. First prize was usually a case of beer which we'd quickly polish off afterwards.

Great night, good to see new faces.


I think the pub itself rather divided people. Some loved it, some not so impressed.


I had a fascinating conversations including foreign relations and human rights and one over the urinals with an old chap about his choice of Soho based entertainment. Something he would only indulge in after pension day.


Some stunning Karaoke.


But .... Oh Brendan................................................... :))

Great night good to see new forumites along with the regulars keef,jah,mp,floating onion,andrew b, mockney,georgia,sean,and the one,s I forgot.

There is a rumour that a certain forumite might be changing their posting name to one of the below.

Yogi Bear

Kinky Bear

Hairy Bear

Cucumber Bear

Naughty Bear.

But who was it, ????????

A lovely night....great to see old friends alongside new faces too (hello to Anthony and Sabrina to name just two).

Keef's Livin on a Prayer was awesome and his dance moves cut a dash too.

Looking forward to the pics Andrew!


edited due to grammatical error!

I did my usual piss-poor job of circulating, only managing to say hello to about half the crowd despite being amongst the first there...


Thought the pub was solidly traditional, although the chaps with the neck tatoos flicking through our unattended stuff did put me a tad on edge towards the end. None of that overshadowed another cracking night - guest singer belting out "living on a prayer" inbetween heavy pulls on an inhaler was a particular highlight!

V good night - so glad I didn't have to leave early for once!

Great to see everyone and to speak to a few new peeps and nice to try out a new pub.

Mr Buggie thinks this it is now his favourite pub - this is often said about establishments though!

Don't apologise. It was the highlight of my evening. Natalie had gone out to deliver a baby and I was stuck inside on my own, bored, ill and feeling sorry for myself.


Sounds like you guys enjoyed it.

I had a lovely time.

After a horrible week at work (which is not over yet, by the way) I was on the verge of not going and I'm so glad I made myself. Lovely, as always, to see all the regulars and very nice to meet a few newbies. Special mention for Antony who, after a dubious start ("accidentally" wandering off with BN5's pint) completely won me over with charm, wit and flattery.

Karaoke was very special, although Keef may never forgive me for not taking part, it was worth it to see him take on Bon Jovi with such style. And as for Jah Lush.... well, what a performance.

The evening even ended well with a good brisk stride home with the buggies (stopping at the EDT for a toilet break (Men, why don't you ever go before leaving the pub?) and kebab and wine for supplies) but don't even get me started on Mr Buggie's kebab breath....;-)

Had a great night, i was definitely in the camp of not being a massive fan of the pub but loved the karaoke and singing livin on a prayer with alleycat - the ol' voice is a little worse for wear today..


thanks for Raj for buying me my first drink although it did take me a moment to recover from them not serving pinot g.. great to meet JJF, the lovely lady that works for the foreign office and as always seeing all the regulars that I enjoy the company of so much..


see you all soon

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
