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

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
