Lunch at the Vale

[Mikecg]

Or hes as thick as pigs shite.

[ruffers]

But now I'm curious to go in and see what it's like! Gah! Damn your sophisticated and under hand marketing techniques!

[PinkyB]

Surely a perfect venue for the next EDForum drinks?

Anyone?

Anyone?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Not this year, no.

Bueller.

[snorky]

the vale isnt bad - its an ole skol pub with a bit of jazzing up.Landlord is good and knows his stuff- it will be heaving tomorrow for the manU game

[ruffers]

I'll be watching the Barcelona game. Not in The Vale though.

Bueller ?

haha

Does anyone else get this?

[PinkyB]

Does anyone NOT get that? (apart from my flatmate who has somehow managed to reach the grand old age of 38 without having ever watched the genius that is Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

Personally: at least 36 times since the age of 15, I would say.

"Graaaaace!"

ROONEY:

I don't trust this kid any further

than I can throw him!

GRACE:

With your bad knee, you better

not throw anybody, Ed.

[flapjackdavey]

Iv'e had a pint of bitter in the Vale before .... it was rancid

[viper]

Am just lovin' this thread... I have burst out about 20 times reading through it..

I am well and truly honoured that my initial 'youth-club-on-a-saturday-night' jibe had a part to play in the Valegate scandal!

Apologies to the Bishop and the EDT though, the comment I made about walking around view the competition must have hit a nerve. Oooops.

Keep up Snorky. Your education is sadly lacking.

[Sherwick]

Did Snorky not go to Dulwich College then..?

[snorky]

Snorky went o the College of hard knocks etc

[Moos]

the fiends - they knocked out your T's!

Steele is another vale personality.

You would really think they would learn not to try this after it backfires every time!

[PinkyB]

There is no excuse for not having seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off, unless -

No, there's just no excuse.

I did a film degree and denied it for years, but now I'm out and proud - Ferris totally pisses on the collected works of Ingmar Bergman. Does "Smiles On A Summer Night" have Charlie Sheen in it? No it does not! Score one to Ferris!

How about "disempowered and marginalised"?

[Vince]

I'm also loving the pop that he/she took at the Bishop; "The beer is dire in there to, there is hardly any gas to the beer at all".

[Mikecg]

That's where she went wrong, she bashed the Bishop.

[matthew123]

Why is it so expensive in the Bishop? I went in the Bishop last week and ordered a Coke and their equivalent of a JD & Coke and I think it came to ?5.90!

I think a Coke costs ?1.50 in the EDT, and a pint of Lager ?3.50 - but sure about JD & Coke?

What are the equivalent prices in other East Dulwich pubs such as the the Bishop, CPT, Magnolia & Vale?

[snorky]

withj margins being so rubbish on beer, soft drinks are the only profitable item for many I think

[taper]

I was having a drink with my friends Brian and Glyn in The Vale last night. I took ?10 out of the whip and bought a large lager shandy, a rum and coke, and a pint of brilliantly kept bitter. When I returned ?4-85 to the whip we all agreed The Vale is:

DE best value in ED

Roll-on next Tuesday's post-Badminton drinks I say.

I believe you, no really I do, you have posted more than twice.
