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


Recommended Posts

Now I'm sorely grieved. The WW has had a tacky notice up for months stating over 21s only. It's the reason I didn't come and smuggle in my teenager. Unless midgets really have taken over ED, there were at least two children there. Bah.

Oh thank you Tillie. Would you like a signed copy? That was me doing Ken Boothe's Everything I Own, which as you know isn't much.

Re: "I couldn't remember the Geordie lass's name either (there again I have trouble remembering my own at times)... but she was absolutely lovely."


Her name was Katy, though no idea what she logs in as. Thanks everyone for a superb evening; was absolutely stunned to realise I didn't get home till 2:45, and have no idea where the night went to, though had good chats with Anna and Andrew, Piers, Andrew, John, Bellenden Belle, Katy, Anthony; my mum, my agent, and anyone else who knows me. I will definitely come along to the next one.

Just a thought, but some people don't like their real name and username posted together.


We only had a brief chat (I was a bit hopeless at socialising this time) but she made a very good point about pubs painted black. I've been thinking about it ever since and can't think of one a really like...

Ample room for new faces at each and every drinks.


Chatting to Georgia re the next drinks, which are on on 2 January, we wondered about the Gowlett? It may be a bit slow as it is so close to the festive season, but chopping and changing dates is never a good idea as it just mucks everything up.


The Gowlett is a traditional pub with plenty of space and is close to the ED heartlands.

Ahhhh, I can't make the 2nd.

The Gowlett is a great pub but it will be the third time in eighteen months... we were last there in July, weren't we?


Loving the fact everyone is so keen to hang out down my neck of the woods though...you're all SE15ers at heart aren't you?

You're going to be out drinking on the 1st as well as New Years Eve??? Wow - you're hard-core Bob S - respect!

3 times in 18 months doesn't sound that bad to me. I'd be happy to return to the Gowlett. And the 2nd is possibly pushing it after NYE and that but so long as people spend the 1 st under a duvet they should be chomping at the bit for a reason to get out on the 2nd


As for the Uplands - I would say that was the worst forum drinks I've been to. I give it a go with some friends once every 6 months or so (all those "under new management" signs I see) but it's always sterile and the food is poor. And with apologies to the one or two staff I have liked, the service is usually the wrong side of unfriendly - there was zero banter when they were chucking us out at the last drinks..


SE15 pubs - yep, I seem to spend more and more time in them lately. Certainly at the weekends when the Lane has become largin-it central. The Plough and the Mag are exceptions to that rule - I get to meet and have conversations with grown-ups there (sometimes I even manage to introduce people ;-) )


But I'm not suggesting we go to either the Plough or the Mag btw - we go there plenty as it is

I think G just needs to do up a roster for all of 09 with the date and the allocated pub and if we all want to go then we go and then atleast its done and we dont go back and forth on what pubs we go to each month.. I know it was mentioned before, do you think we could do that? I am sure it would save G a whole load of stress each month..

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
    • Same reason there are several pizza places and Indian restaurants?
