"I'm sure you could control yourself if you put your mind to it."


Not likely.


I think that the drawing room will survive but it wont flourish at the rate it's creators may have hoped. This is because, as Keef stated, contributors want to come across as knowledgable about the subject they debating. There's nothing wrong with that because it is a place where facts and sources are going to be expexted. This is where the growth of the drawing room will be stunted.


These facts and figures will have to sought out either on the internet or through other means and on many occasions when a contributor has their case in order with all their sources at hand they'll find that the arguement/discussion has moved on from where they were going to pick up. They may then see no point in carrying on where they left off because they may be afraid of being shouted down by those who see the old point/case as irrelevant to what is being discuused and could acuse others of backtracking or swaying the arguement in their favour.


I don't really object to other forum members wanting a decent discussion and I don't really mind being excluded from it either as I come on here for humour. I'm constantly pissing about so I wouldn't blame the drawing room crowd ignoring me either. I see it as dull and want no part in it.


The lounge is where it's all at.

Where its NOT "all at" is consistently spelling "arguement" with an "e" that does not exist.


The verb is, obviously, to "argue" but the "e" is dropped when it comes to using the word: argument.


p.s. Can you reproduce your comment about my male appendage as the Subject interests me.

Although I'm often viciously rude and cheeky towards you Tony I wonder what path my grammar would take without your guiding wisdom.

I don't think that would be wise after today's carry on.


Another time perhaps.

BBW other than the clowns thing that got deleted, you and mick find anywhere where I've got away with anything in the Drawing Room? The difference between you and I is that I know where to be an arse and where to play it straight and you don't....watch and learn pinhead....Mick's just joining in 'cos his betting's going seriously down hill since he started the betting thread

Nice work Tone. I assume you look younger than your tender years to be capable of entertaining girls in their 30s?


More like act younger Mick.:)


Truth is I met all of Ladies I see now around 10/12 years ago when I DID look much younger and a few of them have stayed good friends since then and the main "3" are all exactly 30 years old, by co-incidence..


Though the Ladyfriend who is staying with me ( for the 3rd time) told me tonight that I have grown up since she first met me 6 years ago and, sadly, she's right::o


Have to say that I have no emotional baggage though, which helps. No exs around, no marriages/divorces/kids etc..so I have lived the "single life" for a long time now.

    • 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! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • 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.
