Muttley, you shouldn't pick on Snorky's inability to spell!!


You only need to read older stuff from pepys through swift to Dickens to realise that there's no such thing as truly standardised English, but we've more or less settled on some accepted norms today, as have they.


But txt/email english could yet be the death of that. I know the evolving language argument, but like third nipples under your armpit, maybe somethings just shouldn't evolve in some ways.


Where we? Oh yes Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo dOO doo doo, de doop de dopp de dooooo

The postcards have arrived!:)) And they're actually quite good, OK, they're nothing special but they're something to be treasured. I look forward to giving everyone from the forum a free one on Friday night. For the rest of you, they'll be on sale at the Fair on Sunday, I haven't worked out how much yet but probably something like 20p each (or 5 for a ?1).

Just raising my ugly head now, after popping into the Bishop on way home!! What a great evening, thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and twasnt anywhere near what I imaged. This will be a definate in my social calendar from now on. :))
Also would like to mention that The Clockhouse looks great and I really liked the fact it was non-smoking, a) because for once I didnt reek like an ashtray b) so much healthier doing it in the fresh air (haha) c) got to meet little splinter groups outside for more in depth chit chat.
Sorry. Had every intention to be there. In fact, spent the evening telling people about what my real plans were and insisting that I couldn't stay long at the impromptu work-drinks session. Next thing I knew it was today and I was in my bed with the all-too-familiar pig mess in my head (Withnail, anyone?) Glad I got home in one piece, sorry to have missed drinks with you guys. When's the next one?

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
