Hi Indiepanda - the pub is at top end of LL, opposite East Dulwich Library, on the junction with Barry Road. Hope you can make it!

BBW, clearly you believe that, when cornered, the best form of defence is attack. As a lone wolf without its pack, I can't really blame you.

I'll be there

No not at all DM.... I love to think of you resplendent in all your fabulosity and yet - dare I say it - incredibly sexy too. I understand completely that marital decorum forbids me to venture further - indeed, the old adage 'you can look, but you can't touch' I find to be quite irresistible. Besides, there's room on this forum for just one retired brickie from Penge - me! ;-)

You're probably right there, Freddy! Thanks everyone.

Yes we have AVG Internet Security. The IT fellow who turned up also downloaded Malwarebytes onto my PC which found the files infected and destroyed the virus.

Just so you're aware, my work PC was infected this week by a virus I inadvertently introduced by clicking on a link to the Russian artist Tretchiko on Google - even though it's unlikely you'd search him anyway! The problem was quickly sorted by my IT people so there was no harm done, thankfully.

I think the main problem is that the forum, by its very nature, functions using two-dimensional means of communication. This can often lead to mis-understandings, particularly since it's hard to express humour in writing. A comedian in front of an audience quickly sees which gags work and which don't by the way the audience reacts. On the forum, we don't have that luxury. Unfortunately this means it can feel like we're walking on eggshells every time we post something humourous or a bit risque. As giggirl says though, after a while people do start to understand your style of humour and so will be less offended by it. I think, however, we have to accept that some people are more sensitive than others, but ALL are welcome on the forum, otherwise it wouldn't be the great place it is.

What a great forum this is - to allow us the opportunity to discuss the piece directly with the sculptor (via his best mate!). I've seen the sculptures too and really like them.

Too bad, quids. Do me a favour and don't bet on Wales winning the Triple Crown, will you!

Maybe... but the best teams still manage to walk away with something even though they've been out-played.... tenacity, you could say. Had Wales got that late try, I'm sure they wouldn't have seen it as a hollow victory, but one that was hard-fought.

Seems like dulwichmum is quite enjoying keeping you dangling there, Jah....

Can we live in a Village too? It's a lovely, old-fashioned term. Let's all be Village People together... ahhh

Well done France - can't complain about that, the French were very strong. Oh well, no Grand Slam this year.... but then there's the Triple Crown still up for grabs! Come on Wales.

not what I have done personally you understand, LP... ;-)

As she walks down the aisle...

...and he lived in Hall Green Birmingham, so that makes him a brummie too!

...I'm still feeling full now! I had a great night too and ditto re comments above.

I enoyed the 'Lynx effect' for years. Now I use Nivea post balm. Am I getting old?

Very well thought out, Brendan. One additional ingredient to the pot may be 'politeness' although this I fear is approaching its sell-by date.
