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.

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"?

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?

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 can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
