It also refers to a powerful spray of arterial blood. I've had the uric crystals one but I don't want the other one.

It?s not actually an infection of any sort like mumps. It is just a build up in your joints normally causedby an acidic diet and too much booze. It?s not catchy or anything.


In the 1700's it was dead trendy. Meant you had money to eat loads of meat and drink all day long.

Brendan, just refer to any anachronisms as 'old school' or 'skool' and you can get away with anything.

Even Dr Scholl's footwear.

No, no, The War. Well the last one anyway. You?re probably too young to remember it but me and a few of the chaps went over to Europe for a barney and taught the Germans a thing or two.


Or was it the French? Not sure anymore but they were definitely a foreign lot.


There was definitely garlic involved and sausage too though. All a bit like that pizza express place Jaybee goes to woo the young ladies really, garlic, sausage and hot Americans.


And cigarettes but of course smoking was still good for you back then.

I think people are being a bit tough on jaybee. If a girl has posted that a bloke had turned up for their date completely plastered, would people have been so quick to condemn her for not making sure the bloke got home? When all is said and done, a drunk guy is probably as vulnerable, if not rather more so, to getting into trouble - just more likely to be violence than rape.


I wouldn't dream of turning up for a date already smashed, it's really bad manners. I like a drink, but I think I've only twice in my life got myself into a state where friends needed to see me home and never to the point of being out with sick dribbling down my face - that's just disgusting.


Maybe it wasn't the most "gentlemanly" thing to do - but then turning up in that state isn't exactly ladylike!

Gout=Excess uric acid which needs an outlet and finds it in yourweakest joint which is usually the big toe.


Its the only thing I've ever had in my life worth mentioning and it only came in the Summer.


Finally realised that it was not "drink" in my case (as I rarely do) but too many Coca-Colas and Soft drinks in the Summer when naturally the desire is greater.

Naproxen Tablets make it go within the hour usually.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
