It's a fair point, and probably loses them some custom, and I think the staff would be first to admit it. However, it's out of their control... They do lots of nice shots though ;-) Oh, and Fear, if I'm there, there's a fair chance you'll be with me, lets be honest now... :))

As soon as I see a giant screen in a pub I make a run for it.

Since when did 'proper pubs' start having sport on?! I blame America (for everything)

Please - no anti-American rants. Whilst it's completely easy to fall into that trap with the current administration and well publicised surveys about... oooh, anything - there is no denying how much good there is also


To travel there and meet some of the most warm-hearted and intelligent people, and see some of the most amazing scenes (urban and rural) is to open ones mind. If they relied on media reports of Britain (which I'm sure some do) then they would think of us as in equally stereotypical terms


But this administration does stink the place up

Thats got more to do with Sky and the rise of Lad/Ladette culture than the United States though.

On the subject of "nights out in ED" bars - one of the other reasons I love this place is that the bars, by and large, avoid many of my bugbears - specifically - fruit machines are noteable by their absence


Also those dodgy boards outside that pretend to be chalk boards but all have the same pre-printed font


Corporate promotions are also largely unnoticed (by me anyway)

I love watching the footy in the pub. It doesn't make it like a sports bar, people go there specifically for a match, the match is shown, the match ends, and the screen disappears...


Nothing like a sports bar with 15 screens showing some dodgy motor race from Australia, Kabadi from India, Dodgeball from America, and every other sport you'd never dream of watching....... That said, the film Dodgeball is fab ;-)

I do apologise Mark for my over familiar behaviour. Treated you like a long lost friend but from my side of my head, it seemed fine at the time. As I say Mojitos do make you a tad weird. Gorgeous girlfriend you have there by the way, the guys in my company were like the exorcist (heads spinning round to get another glimpse) saying who was that, corr, and all that!!

I had intended to post my thanks yesterday but I just wasn't up to a bright screen and the noise of the keyboard. Now I'm back in the office..


Had a great night out in East Dulwich and the north London pair were delighted to be forced of the train at Peckham Rye where they witnessed a full blown Peckham Rye punch up - bicycle chains an' all! Marvellous!

Glad you had a good night out - it's funny how some people from oop North are so surprised to have a good time when they come down here isn't it?


But Saturday nights out are easy - it's the Sunday nights out you have to watch out for. Ouch..... My head hurts today

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
