You answered your own question and rather nattily too


So the Half Moon is closed, the Grove Tavern is closed and now I hear the Dog is to shut, although hopefully not for ever. Of the big Dulwich boozers only the terrible ones - the Alleyn's Head and the Fox on the Hill - survive.


Is it time to petition Dulwich Estates?

Latest news I heard was more positive about the pub reopening, but Dulwich Estates are pressing ahead with the plan to convert the top floors to flats. That could, of course, spell the end of live music there...

Genius.


Maybe when I die, as in The Late Dulwich Raider?


Then I can put something on the tombstone that's too dull to read.

Ha, nice read


I acquired a teak side board recently, did Half Life loose one in Deptford recently ?


"Edward Alleyn?s original vision for his Dulwich foundation was to educate the poor and assist those in need, not to provide handouts to the privileged at the expense of the community at large. If he was alive today he?d turn in his grave"

I suggest:


The Late Dulwich Raider


It all ended too soon (unlike his articles).


;)

Thank you for your comments about the Lordship Lane piece on Deserter. I quite like you all.


FYI, Half-life has the sideboard. He does not post on the EDF - he has only ever bought one computer (an Amiga 4000T) and it's still in its box.


I've got a new piece about getting wellied on the water:

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
