Best Boozer in East Dulwich

[Louisa]

Almost Jeremy. But then there are those who can't afford to move, or are tied for other reasons in rural or urban. They moan and groan, hate their surroundings rather than embrace them. Grass is greener mentality. Those people annoy me too. Put up or shut up I say.

Sounds great.. When can you start?

[Louisa]

Every rule has an exception. I'm one of them. Now, where my bottle of Pinot Blush gone? I'm heading for the garden again.

[*Bob*]

God bless you for that.

And I'm off out to meet friends; a new restaurant; followed by outdoor cinema and a bar or two.

Obviously I really wish I was staring at the same field as yesterday and leafing through the Radio Times, but there's plenty of time for all that.

[Otta]

Basically everyone's an arsehole except me, right?

[Millhaven]

Who is going to tell her?

[DulwichFox]

I have never supported UKIP or the BNP.

I was on the march from Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park. 1978

Rock against the nazis victoria park 1978 : the clash, tom robinson band, x-ray spex,steel pulse,

I had bottles thrown at me by The National Front passing the Blade Bone Pub Bethnal Green road.

Now a Noodle Bar. ??

Only last night I was in dispute with a such an 'Arsehole' mentioned above.

A Portuguese Racist who had lived in Johannesburg ranting on about the 'Bleeks' there and living

here in the UK having too much power. In my (me) own country.

Why wasn't I doing something about it.

The likes of such extreme verbal racism I have not heard anywhere for a long time.

He was still supporting apartheid and would like to see it here.

The point I'm making here is not that such discrimination was not around in East Dulwich 20 years ago

but I certainly was not part of it. As inferred above.

However he was not the type of people I was referring to. I was referring the prats that after

drinking 2 Jaeger Bombs think they can fight the world and then go out and kick wing wing mirrors off

of half a dozen cars. 'I'm the f****** kiddie brigade.'

That wasn't around 20+ years ago.

Foxy.

[Louisa]

Friends? Outdoor cinema? New restaurant? You sure you live in ED *Bob*? Or are you just exposing a wishlist to everyone? That 24 pack in the fridge ain't gonna drink itself ya know, don't spill any on the keyboard either ;-)

Jaeger bombs may have not been about 20+ years ago but random acts of alcohol fuelled violence and vandalism have been here forever.

Popped my Gowlett cherry the other night. Was a nice little place for a casual swally.

The Disc Jockey man playing soul 45"s hadn't heard of The King - Curtis Mayfield though....which was a tad concerning.

[Jocky]

.....also how did this thread move from nice pubs to somebody denying being a racist?

Let's increase the peace please!

thanks

Do they still have Lucky 7s at the Gowlett? If so, you need to get yourself along to that Jocky, always a great night. London is fab and its true, life is what you make it.

(Tho I do sometimes wish I wasn't looking at the same old field night after night, worrying about levels of interest in my melons).

[Louisa]

Jeremy and Numbers.

Brockley market sells everything, including things like posh cheese on toast. And you're right jezza, I'd hate it if it were in ED because it wouldn't have the same vibe and mixed atmosphere, it would be a homogenous dull middle class event aimed at the keeping up with the jones' ilk. Middle aged middle class men sporting awkward hipster beards and ironic glasses patronising everyone by buying street food items at a tenner a pop laughing at the rest of us munching on a pack of chipsticks from the co-op. The bar-stewards. Grrr.

Louisa.

Probably thinks The Style Council wrote Move On Up

[titch juicy]

I didn't call anyone a racist, nor imply it

No please don't, i'm feeling uncomfortable for her/you, and i'm also wondering how much of this isn't about "her"

I'm also getting the resentful-renter vibe here too

And there exactly is your problem.

Good fcuking grief, yes there's a point, and she's far from disappointed.

[Jeremy]

I am still struggling with the shock relevation that someone prefers the countryside to London, and thinks property in London is very expensive. It's like everything I thought to be true is now in crumbling ruins.

Jeremy you're just struggling, full stop. Either that or deliberately being a tool, or both.

[Jeremy]

To be fair, I think everybody is struggling to understand your point! Different people like different things, isn't it as simple as that?

Oh well done, THAT'S the point. The love in with all things ED is extremely nauseating, it's as if it's the hub of the civilised world, and it's just a so so suburb, as many who've lived there and moved out have found out.
