Why? Because he makes me a laugh and always tries to be diplomatic. I realise that this forum is for people to express their views and opinions, but I do think that some times it can get a bit personal.


Keef will then suddenly appear with a light-hearted joke and a sensible resolution to any disputes. Brilliant!


Oh, and he supports the mighty LFC >:D<


Edited for Keef :)

Dangerous thread - could become a right luvvie-fest


I'll name a couple of people who have kept me interested (there are others as well - hope they are not offended by not being named)


Michael Palaeologus (in his various incarnations) who was a prime mover in keeping this place more interesting than an online version of the South London Press

Dulwichmum - obvious reasons

Mockney Piers - for often making me think I posted my thoughs more articulately than I normally do (only to find it was he who made the post)

Administrator - for his single-mindedness in finding lounge material

Keef - for the reasons stated


Those are the old school posters - plenty of interesting posters joined of late. Bellendelle Belle & asset, to name but two

Always fond of a luvvie fest...

Snorky often makes me chuckle - I like a maverick.

Sean MacGabhann always makes the effort to contribute to threads - a friendly, thoughtful voice always (oh and a Rufus Wainwright fan to boot).

Dulwich Mum of course - our very own mascot

And far too many names which crop up, making me smile, think, and wish I didn't have to get back to work.

Oh cool, I'll keep an eye out, just had to give up on large chunks of the 1500+ posts I've missed this week.

And cheers for the nod too Sean, thoroughly enjoy your contribution too.


And while we're all on a snorky love-fest, I have to say that I've grown quite fond myself.

And I have to go Polly D for making me want to say 'word' and then chuckle all the time (and for being jolly nice)

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
