The Cromwell thing, I get a little 'shruggy' about. The 'Paddy' remark causes some mild lip pursing.

But if she ever uses the word 'Micks', I swear on my copy of Rum Sodomy And The Lash, I'll be confronting her and insisting she tread on the tail of my coat.

There are limits.

Oh dear, I am so very sorry indeed. I thought that as you Irish are all so very jolly, what with your downing arms lately and practically being British anyhow. I apologise profusely, can I buy any of you a drink at the next forum drinks? I know how you all simply love your Guinness!

Don't worry Mr Tony.London Suburbs, I understand that the Irish must be feeling genuinely threatened. I hear the Eastern European's stole their building jobs and now the Swan in Stockwell is set to turn into a Polish bar. The Irish shop on Lorship lane is soon to be taken over by a famous chain of Kielbasa sausage shops. I haven't met an Irish assistant in Greggs the bakers or nurse in Kings College hospital for years.


The times are changing sweetie...

You are probably trying to be funny DM but all you really are is patronising. I wouldn't accept a drink from an airhead such as yourself. Has having your own website gone to your head that you now have to live up to some fictitious person you have created. I don't drink Guinness by the way.

Declan sweetie, how could having a website gone to my head? I don't understand. I have had my blog for almost as long as this forum has been up and running lovley boy.


Is it not true that during the late 80's and early 90's, those training as nurses in Kings College Hospital (then Normanby College of Nursing) consisted of 95% southern Irish females who drank at The Swan in Stockwell? How is that patronising?

Jack Charlton in my 'umble opinion the worst Manager(or certainly one of the worst) in my 47 years of watching The BEAUTIFUL Game..not Jack's Ugly efforts(Sheffield Wednesday being a perfect example)...shame he ever became a Manager, with his little Black Book(for those who remember such things)..


JC's famous quote on MOTD.."I'd like to get 21 0/0 Away Draws all season)

Sod The Entertainment(Thats my quote)...

You need to go back to the question you asked in the first place to realise your question has an incorrect answer. I'm not sure there is a correct one. Northern Ireland had no affinity with Jack Charlton.


And TLS may be slightly embarrassed if I mention that Peter Osgood is unlikely to still have the bruises!

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
