Happy New Year everyone.


I'm still recovering from the NYE bash at The Rye. Not quite as fantastic as the very first one in 2004 (when the Rye's arrival and opening was like an amazing gift from the gods to those of us living on the borders) but awesome nonetheless.


The incident splattered evening was great fun and featured:


- A very warm and friendly welcome from the bar staff

- A great DJ

- A drunken fireworks display (set off by a man with a pint in his hand) - of water I'm sure.

- Bare breasts! (Thanks for that)

- A flashing fellow Scotsman - chiplolatas ahoy!


I still cant get over the breasts...not sure how this compares with the CPT?!!


Edited for legal reasons.

I missed the..... exposures later in the evening as my posse required that I take them home about 1ish, but mostly concur with MrBen's report. Whilst not on a par with the first one a few years back I think I spent too much of the evening comparing the two events instead of just enjoying myself. In the end I had a ball


As someone else noted it was expensive for what it was, but to my mind there aren't that many occassions where I get to dress up proper-like. An interesting mixture of people too - one chap in particular who appeared to be "inspired by" Russell Brand gave good value already, but when someone else related the next day that when this was put to him at about 3am, he replied "on a good day I get Jonny Depp, on a bad day David Dickinson" I hooted some more


We got to spend time with birthday-boy Mike P who judging by the hour and demeanour of his subsequent posts enjoyed himself enormously. Lady MacGabhann got to have a proper boogie. Eva gave me more free fizzy drinks than I was permitted. The DJ was clearly nuts. I mean, what's not to like??


Oh and retiring at 1am did have the added advantage of me not suffering the fear the next day. Took my guests over to the Nuns Head for a spot of burger and chip therapy and it was clear that most of the staff hadn't seen bed at all - I wasn't sure if I was jealous or relieved

Actually AFN I found myself in your neck of the woods last night and popped into the Golden Anchor on Eveline Road.

Now, you probably wouldn't have the balls to go in there yourself because I fancy up you're far too up your own preconceived Nunhead but if you do ever pop in there you'll find a very nice and friendly predomninently West Indian pub that plays great old reggae tunes and the brothers playing dominoes in the front bar. I liked the look of the food on offer and shall be returning soon. Great Guinness too by the way.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
