Was in JW on Saturday for a couple pints - it is a great pub....after a quick pint in the back beer garden of The Chancery. I like it up there.


Rest of pubs not so good....although the Sat afo, Ibiza beats in the outside bar at La Rasscass was interesting. Retracable roof an everything!

Nunhead isn't all that bad, and you're more likely to be hit by a flying focaccia if you venture into the Old Nun's Head pub these days. Once a great pub. Now the closest you'll get to a pool cue punch up is a minor gentleman's disagreement over who chooses the best bottle of Chablis on the menu.



Louisa.

All depends how fast you can get your sock off, Jez. I was thinking projectile though.

RD/DC - was assuming the ball-in-sock wouldn't work in a bar fight. Was actually wondering if the advice was to simply pick the ball up in your hand and smack someone with it. I've heard that salt cellars can be used too (although such items are a bit too poncy for proper boozers, I know).

One ball in each hand is sufficient, swinging things around like cues and filled socks is in the movies.

You may want to use the cue to break a couple of the windows, that'll get people calling the police - handy if you think you're gonna be requiring rescue from the situation.

Salt cellar could be extra useful as you could pour some salt in to your hand, throw it in their eyes, then smack them repeatedly around the head whilst they're blinded.

Pub fight odds:


Louisa - 1-3on fav (no one messes when our Lou is around)

KidKruger - evens (boxing fan and knowledge of exotic Burmese martial arts)

Otta - 7-5 (poor eyesight belies his honeybadger tendancies)

*Bob* - 10-1 (high likelihood of getting into a fight though)

bob - 25-1 (no longer in his prime)

Jeremy - 100-1 (for having to ask about the melee or projectile merits of pool balls mid-fight)

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
