Quids - may I remind you that this is a Friday Night Dad's club - not an AA meeting. Goodness gracious.


To be honest I should think the same, but for me the recommended units is too low to achieve, or even want to achieve. I think you can drink more than is recommended but as you say with big drinking in the past you have to be careful of your overall health. Fortunatley I have never been a smoker and I think smoking and drinking is a very a bad combo.

Yeah, you've youth on your side Keef, so you can go back on the razz when the kids are older ;-)


To be honest getting up with babies with a hangover is only doable once every so often for me nowadays, but I was still putting away a fair bit just by drinking a few cans everynight, so now I'm only drinking weekends or if I go out in the week, which is pretty rare nowadays but I'm not deliberately avoiding it if you see what I mean. So, I went to football the other day and had a few beers but Mon-Thursday if i'm at home...niente!

Sorry Keef - did not know you were "in the house" - I know you like a ciggy, but the above post was not aimed at anyone. Having become a dad again this week, it makes me think of my own Dad and it was the ciggies that were the end of him i'm afraid. He stayed clear of booze as there is a bit of it in our family history, but the ciggies are really worth giving up (imo).

I'm afraid I think Fosters nowadays seems very watery. About 10 years ago I stopped buying stella and switched to Carling as the beer I would have in the fridge generally - think that was a good move as after 2/3 cans of stella you would actually feel it having a significant effect, so tend to avoid it.


Friday night dad's club I'm usually Carling - tonight I feel I deserve a large whisky (even the midwife said so, so its medically prescribed, so to speak.)

I was on Grolsch and Gaymers last night, 3 of each. Plus a joint. Feeling fuzzy today! I'm actually buying an xbox in the hope that it'll stop me sitting watching crap on telly and just drinking for the sake of it. I am a youngish dad at 31, but I'm not feeling like it!

Is there anybody there ?


If you are quick - you will get the opening sequence of trainspotting on Film4 - with intro from danny boyle....play it loud.


I think I'll watch it until Archie scores that goal and try to focus on the goal and not Kelly Macdonald

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road. Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
