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!

      All go on Lordship Lane..

      By thfc2001 · Posted

      Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose.

      By malumbu · Posted

      @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
