Next EDF Drinks - Friday 3rd April at The Lodge (above the EDT from 8:30PM)


Recommended Posts

Great meeting everyone last night, really enjoyed it. Definately the plushest EDF Drinks venue I've attended (4th on the spin!), and the food samples were pretty tasty...


Now I am going to rough it at Craven Cottage and check out the ale & pies in that neck of the woods :)

Well I had an excellent night - failed to speak to as many people as I intended to but I think I made up for it by inappropriate touching up of CharlieCharlie's necklace in the toilets - and Keef, yes, I did think you looked quite the cool rider.


Managed to get kebab juice all over the sofa when i got in though.

Had a great time, and thanks to the Lodge for looking after us - a lovely venue.


Also actually got off my lazy bottom for once, and met some new people who are as charming in real life as they are on the Forum. You may interpret that exactly as you wish.

I feel amazingly perky, but then I didnt get up until noon. The weather is lovely, an afternoon pottering on the balcony and possibly an evening by the River beckon.


Very many thanks to The Lounge for their hospitality.

He means the Lodge, the Lodge. Forgive him - he be more sozzled than he thinks


I bumped into some revellers this morning who looked far better than they had any right to (ooops - Sean casting judgement again) I had an idea the night was going to be good and so it was. Well done georgia for sorting it out and well done the Lodge for putting on a good show. . I like the idea of your forthcoming iPod nights as well

An excellent night!! Surprised no major hang over. Behold the powers of the lamb doner wrap from stab and wine!


Very nice venue which I think they did very well out of us. Good nibbles, just not enough, felt there could have been more from that point of view.


They need to change the sign outside though, doesn't reflect the interior and feel of the place.


Well done Georgia!

Great to meet as many as I could and put some faces to names!


Roll on next one!!

Nice venue - thanks Georgia.


I decided not to try to talk to everyone in the room on this, my fourth EDF drinks night, and ended up having a laid back and relaxing evening rather than feeling like a stressed-out pinball on steroids.

Had a great night...


..met lots of new people which is great.


Met two longstanding forumites I was hoping to - Moos and jah - and both were, as I expected, well worth the entrance fee alone...infact they both bought me a drink which I didn't return..next time.


Invented children that people didn't have, gave some awful tips for the Grand National, failed to dig myself out of a "come dine with me" hole, drank a bleedin' Gin & Tonic, nearly lost CC's drink....and ended up going down to Camberwell until 4....all good fun...(no Kebab)

Indeed helped hangover a bit. Pleased for Mockney and Rhinestone too (how come I get the 0-0s!), Mockney fretting about if he'd got a suit to wear to the was worth having to have a Gin & Tonic.


Sorry only spoke fleetingly Sean, good to see you as always.

I recall meeting someone who promised to send me a song about actuaries... not yet convinced this wasn't the drink talking and that no such song exists (seems an odd thing to sing about!), but I'll be watching my PMs with interest!



That was me. It's not about actuaries per se (it's about the appropriate time to have "off" between relationships (oh - and penis pumps))! But it is called The Actuary Song and is sung in a musical (called "I Love You Because") by a character who is an actuary! I suppose it has some "actuary-type" qualities about it!!

Enjoyed meeting people: some again, some for the first time but, too many, not at all. Thanks Georgia - and yes, the venue was nice. Decor eclectic. Some of it hideous and some of it rather lovely. Something for everyone - a bit like the people there!!


Edited for my own reasons.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
