Oh Maurice , gone all la de da now, what with bistro's & "boules" & they call it "petanque" on here , also they get upset if you call them tossers, which of course they are.

Back to the real world, what's wrong with Walworth "The Bell" is lovely, I know that geezer got shot in the head in there but he was an IRA informant. I mean it's not exactly Dorset but......Please don't mention the Fox or somewhere like that or it will be one short "mornington cresent " stop before someone pipes up with "Oh early bird at the Harvester is good ?2.99 for ...." sh1t like that and the whole thread goes down.

Next....& Hurry please.

Ah yes. How long has that one been on the market for again?

[Maurice]

Well it's all very confusing, isn't it? Sign up, down, private sale, change agents, etc. I do not know the gentleman, though I did know the family who lived there for many years and sold on long ago.

[*Bob*]

The owners would do well to bear in mind it's in Camberwell (five minutes walk from the Silver Buckle) - and drop the price accordingly.

Stop changing the subject, who cares about your poncey neighbor

Pubs , the libraries of life, where ?

[Maurice]

I'm afraid pubs are not my cup of tea, so to speak. It is difficult for me to get out at all and when I do, it is not to pubs. I can offer you an afternoon drink in the front drawing room or, given our lovely weather, the garden. It is much quieter and better quality than anything local.

There is the Doves, which I've never visited but seems to get a lot of positive press. The young man behind it is constantly raising his and his pub's profile. T

[*Bob*]

Be careful, Woof.

Many go in. None come out.

Alan I do worry about you dear boy. Since the housing slump, your attitude toward wealth seems to have changed drastically.

Have you suffered a job loss? Is all okay over on the estate?

I do worry.

I agree it's a lovely house.

It must get annoying fishing beer cans and condoms out of your front garden most mornings though.

Not to mention stepping in vom when you open the door for Ocado.

Yes, caution is "key". I hear his patio is up to the basement window sill height this year.

In & out....relentlessly....that's what worries me......

Yes, I'm afraid Alan lost the paper round.

But he's managed to find seasonal work in 'Rimworld', so it's not all bad news.

[Maurice]

Bob I fear you are right. And the boom boom cars to boot.

My summer garden parties were once the talk of the Society calendar. The Camberwell Society that is. I cannot recall anyone not leaving, but my mind isn't what it once was, so you could be right. I just thought most of us were now house bound or dead.

And the hourly rates are good!

Isn't it hilarious when grown men make boyish gay jokes? How delightful to have intelligent humour. Do continue.

[*Bob*]

I'm not joking, Maurice.

Pop down the Walworth Road and see for yourself. Alan does Tuesday - Saturday.

[*Bob*]

You're right.

There's nothing that anyone, gay or straight, would find in the slightest bit amusing about Rimworld.

Back to the grown-up debate.

I didn't know you had ginger hair, Alan?

[Maurice]

At least you are taken care of Alan, so not to worry. All the best in getting back into employment.

I must admit I did chuckle on seeing Rim World. I didn't want to mind, but it just happened. I avoid Walworth route at all costs.

[*Bob*]

I'm glad you're honest, Maurice.

Have you chuckled at 'Rimworld', Alan, or must you persist with the dreary 'Homophobe' tack to win a point or two?

[Maurice]

Let us all agree to be kind to our Alan. He's facing unemployment, crying newborns and cramped quarters. And now no Silver Buckle for the odd escape.

I feel genuine compassion.

United in poor taste then - good stuff.

Rest assured, if there had been a more entertainingly-named shop in Camberwell selling sporting and fashion goods (say, "Fellatio World", or perhaps "Beanflicker City" etc) then I would have gone for that.

Alas, Rimworld is the best there is - by a country mile.

For god sake *Bob* how could you leave out Foot Licker or Sport and Sucker and not to mention BJsports. Can you please try a bit harder in future. Thanks.
