"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.


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


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.

      Has anyone found a car key fob in College Road SE21 or Dulwich Park?  Lost it at about midday Wednesday 17th December.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By David Peckham · Posted

      An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
