Roll Deep

Ejection of riff raff in favour of 'well heeled' clientele.

A stark contrast to the Capitol in Forest Hill where they wouldn't be ashamed to sell WKD on tap, so I'm told.

Explored any research yourself, big fiver?

The Talma. Situated on Wells Park Rd a stones throw from the park. A place where loyal patrons can leave their teeth behind the bar and sit in a heyday fug harking back to when the Luftwaffe loomed above, and Capstan unfiltered were smoked. Not much has changed in there since the Blitz except for the acceptance of decimalization and channel 5. There is however, still a faint - yet just legible - sign that dictates: No Jews. I kid you not.

Faaal

What, no hugs?

Offered it to him on a plate, more like.

Characterized by a startling lack of any 'working men'.

Does the mutual agreement from the comments sandwiching mine have anything to do with you both perhaps being Irish?

Really? The last time I went in there it looked like someone had fired a sawn-off at the dartboard. Although that was a long time ago. And having a potman in school uniform didn't give off a respectable impression.

The establishment in question is a hangout where everyone drinks very strong coffee and gibber away in Turkish. There isn't a Union Jack or string vest in sight. It's not a working mens club, although I admit that cafe is a very loose term. Having a footfall of around 200 people a day who don't drink coffee or any other beverage, and whose soul purpose for being there is to buy hash, which is quite openly smoked, is more publicity than anyone on here can provide. The place is notorious. Although they've garnered a rep in the past for back room straightners, I seriously doubt there would be any chance of physical retribution against myself for mentioning the antics that go on in there. The times I've been in there they're so baked you could chuck a petrol bomb in there and the first they'd know about it is after the fire brigade had put the flames out.

You've obviously never been to The Castle on Crystal Palace rd Mick. Now that's a dive. Probably the only place still open where you can watch paddy's throwing fivers into a hat on the horses, and get a splinter in your chips as well. Strictly Fred Perry and Ben Sherman, and kids drink for free.

"I have a hankering to get back into doing some tunage maybe start with a little lounge jam and do some recording" Simply for the word "tunage". http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t9D_ovmGhQE/RyaQTWvBxbI/AAAAAAAAL1w/O6vZnsWYQS0/s400/Wanker.jpg

Anyone else's heart rate skip a beat just then?

I've seen this discussed on other message boards but by and large, it seems like an urban myth. Has it ever happened on this forum, that I've only just discovered might I add. And if so, whose account would you most like to commandeer? And even more importantly - who would you like to 'play' you? I'd like Quids to take my reins. Just so as he knows what it's like to walk in my shoes.

Don't take it personally Daizie. I'm sure Honaloo....er, sorry, 'rats', will take your calls here.

No matter.

I think you've got me confused with someone else.

Why was that Daizie. What happened?

"I met many first time attendees who were happy to give their real name but not their posting name for some reason" Good to see Ted and *Bob* finally made it. Good show lads. And whats all this talk of misbehaviour you all keep whetting our imaginations with?

The OP is talking about the Turks and associated Johnny Mehmets who peddle hash from their cafe. I've been buying from them for years and they do the best weight in south London. I'm pretty sure the Police allow this because anyone familiar with the shop in question will know that if the family in charge even so much as suspected someone selling or even being in possesion of anything harder, then the ambitious halfwits fingers would be on the recieving end of a kebab knife.

Jesus wept Woof, I bet you even rubbed one out over Mario Kart.

"Having played games since 79 or so" Bloody 'ell, what were you playing, Connect4 3D or shadow chess?

I bet you were one of the army of halfwits who stayed up all night trying to cheat Lara Crofts kit off, weren't you Woof.

Joy of joys. I've got my old Super Nintendo up and running and shall be playing Zelda until my eyes bleed. Now all I have to do is to wait for my little brother to come round and sort it so I can play all my old P.C games on my laptop, can't wait! I'll be in late 90's heaven. Terminal Velocity, Rebel Assault, Lands of Lore, Wipeout, Ridge Racer etc etc... I mention the above because I cannot stand todays games with their life-like graphics and absurd gameplay. Far too complicated for a saturday stoner like me. Blowing the dust from the Zelda cartridge brought all those memories and frustrations flooding back. So, if you're like me and fancy a bit of Crash Bandicoot over yer Call of Duty, then have a sniff about this link. http://www.retro-games.co.uk/
