Actually that's great to know. Is she available for hire the next time I am double-booked? Could also be a reciprocal thing...

Right, now, better get on with organising that sabre duel (in custard. Wearing nappies!?) on Peckham Rye between Carnell and BN5 that the artist formerly know as Chav was so keen on....



Fleeting memories of this...

d_c, whatever the point of honour was that this was intended to resolve, i'm happy to let it go if you are ;-)

...finally a bit of peace and quiet after a freezing day in the West End with the quidlets (why? Ask her indoors...I haven't got a clue).


Had a really great night - although I arrived quite late I couldn't believe it when it was suddely 1.15. Thankfully managed (just) the discipline to leave then in time for a bus and the temptations of backrooms in kebabshops etc. This proved an especially good move as although it was my morning off, 10p, the youngest of our clan, was making merry hell at 5am so by 8am my missus retired and I had to takeover.


To no great surprise everyone was extremley friendly, so anyone whose nervous (er, not me admittedly)about going to a EDF drinks in the future don't be.


I'm sure I'll miss out someone who I had a great chat with but apologies if so...mentions to


David C - saying hello early

Indie - agreeing on Blur

Mockney - the angst of being a Hammer

Bob - warm welcome, thank you

Tilly - kids

Chav AKA ? - nearly a gambling debate

The Anna's- Hugh Grant


and of course, Sean (and missus)...as I said once before, our hearts are in the same place we just have different ways of getting there (sometimes)


Love Quids



PS Keef are you the tall bloke?

PPS Who were th 3 irish girls, one who kept apoloigising for her extremley pissed looking for an argument mate...they were hilarious (but random crashers I think)?

Sounds like you should have had a lie in and missed the match by all accounts!

Nice to meet you too - always good to meet someone with good taste in music.... or perhaps more accurately / less arrogantly, similar taste to me ;-)


Was a good night all round for meeting people I hadn't met before - which is not to say wasn't also good to see the more familiar faces.


I'll probably risk missing someone out given how inebriated I was by the end, but good to finally meet Keef, very funny to discover he has probably spent more time in my flat than I have - although not while I have been the tenant (that would have been spooky not funny!).


MrBen also comforted me by telling me about the two shootings our local area... though other that he seemed like a top bloke. Also nice to meet Mr and Mrs bignumber5 who saw me almost to my front door and saved me walking round the long way, Matthew123 Kells and Sarah, and last but not least Miles.


Oh, and Anthony, apologies for being convinced you were called Jeremy... my defense that I had at least remembered you had a Y on the end of your name was lame indeed :-$


All in all, best night out in ages - my favourite drinks so far, and they've all been good.

had such a wicked night, absolutely loved that pub so much, will definitely be back there.. everyone was on form and so friendly.. drinks were flowing, space was great (thanks Georgia for booking it).. thanks so everyone who sang happy birthday to Jaws she absolutely loved it.. we stumbled out at about 2 minutes to 12 (and when I say stumble i mean it), had a very amusing stop at the kebab shop on the lane on the way home and a lovely hangover the next day!!


cant wait til the next one.. I will be on my own for that one at Jaws will be sunning herself in South Africa! x

It was indeed a jolly good evening....where ever did the time go?

Great to meet the legend that is Quids, and also Shoshntosh who amused me no end with her tales of her ailing hubby.

Also great meeting Miles, Kels, and the lovely Gen17.

Looking forward to the next one!

A quick thanks to Ladygooner for looking after me, and to everyone I chatted too. It was a good night.

Having spoken to my friends there are 4 or more that want to come to the next one, a couple are board members already and I think the others may join.

I've been away this weekend, hence me not being on the thread.

To everyone who has asked, yes, there were some pretty ladies present.

Mockeny Piers, dont worry fella it wasnt you, I quite enjoyed out chat, looking forward to carrying it on sometime soon.

Mr Ben was quite right that the night wasnt one bit cliquey, a very friendly and inviting crowd.

A really nice mixture of regulars and new faces, plus the terrific venue made for a perfect upbeat start to the New Year. Had a lovely time and only sorry not to have got round to talk to more people. I only got to say hello to most people as I said my goodbyes on my way out


Well done to all those first timers brave enough to venture up the spiral staircase. Get the impression people were not disappointed that they had.


Real shame I had to cut early, although after the walk home, and the customary Pot Noodle and cooking sherry nightcap, I didn't get to bed til 1.30 - and then, and feel free to offer all the sympathy you can muster, my youngest was up at 3.30! and wasn't going back to sleep! (are you listening Keef) Mrs Citizen was working, so it fell to me to be on duty. Nice.


Anyway happy New Year to all and roll on February drinks at........The Clock?

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
