Mmmm, maybe brave enough - perhaps if I spend the day drinking in "The Quiet Room" I will be in a suitable frame of mind.


That's virtual drinking in this lounge by the way - for those of you not in the know - otherwise I sound as if I am an alcoholic in a padded cell.... well, actually...

No no no, go, you'll enjoy yourself.

Many of the old stalwarts can't make it this time anyway (I'm at my birthday dinner ... mind you 1:00 finish...miiiight make it at a stretch), so a whole new generation to shuffle around nervously wondering who is who :)

To all newbies I can only echo Mockney's comments - don't be daunted. As I've posted a few times I've only been to 2 and the first one WAS a tad daunting but once you get your feet wet you'll be grand sure...


Although at 185 posts Madworld, technically you don't qualify as a newbie ;-)

You wont believe this!!! Im fairly new, I just spend too much time in this place, posting innane comments. Went to last forum night, was very nervous and suspicious, but it turned out lovely. Really laid back and friendly. Its worth making the effort.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
