A very enjoyable evening. Allycat, Floating Onion, Hibbs, Strafer Jack, Georgia, Helbel and Katie1812.


Helbel was a welcome first timer and Katie dragged herself here from deepest Norfolk, so was able to attend her memorial meeting.


We met in The Draft House, an enjoyable experience, some interesting Belgium beers available and an American Ale is promised. Nice ambience although some still regret the loss of the Black Cherry. There was some debate as to whether the prices were a tad high or not. I cant help thinking free WIFI would help boost their daytime trade. The menu looked interesting and there were a number of people eating.


On to the Surma. There was only one table of diners when we arrived and so we were it for most of the evening. The food was nice. My Onion Bhajis were crispy and tasty, although the portion was if anything a little large. I had a good Chicken Madras with a Brinjal side dish but couldnt finish it. The remainder was boxed up and taken home.


Service seemed rather slow, given that we were the only people in there. Plenty of food and drink was consumed for ?25 each including a tip.


Five of us wobbled over to the Bishop for digestifs.


Others may wish to comment about their choices at the Surma.


Looks like 15/5 for the next meeting. Venue TBC.

Onion bhajiis were nice and crispy, chicken rezalla had good flavour, nicely spiced and the tandoori roti was delicious. Service was pleasant but the food did seem to take a while arriving to the table between courses, making it a later eve than expected. Great company and conversation though!


Tried to break away from the Cobra/Kingfishers and opted for Mongoose instead ('for those in the know'...apparently) which went well with my curry. Brewed in Bedford though...


Good eve and made it safely back to Peckham eventually. Cheers all.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, it was great to meet you all!

Enjoyed the curry - sorry for accidentally digging into yours too Hibbs!

Prawn and potato balls (!) were fab and I liked the amount of fresh green chillies in my rezalla - yep, am definitely a chill head!

Hope to come along on May 15 with my +1

Cheers! (tu)

      Scooter for 5 year old

      By ce2011 · Posted

      Hello,  I wanted to get my little one a new scooter, she doesn't scoot a lot but is confident on her 3 wheel. Any recommendations, please? I see lots about the micro scooter. I'm still deciding if she needs a 2 or 3 wheel.  Thanks 😊  Cam

      Plusnet-Greenby email

      By ianr · Posted

      Mine still seem well populated. I assume the display filter is still acting as you'd expect with the other folders.  I trust and hope it'll be a recoverable glitch, even if they did manage to delete or mislay the online copies.     I had prepared a para. beginning "That's essentially reassuring, Vladii.  Thanks." before managing to somehow remove the rest of it irrecoverably from the EDF message edit pane. Back on the Greenby side, I've narrowed down my own problem.  Most of my email posts are 'From:' my own domain but posted via the PN relay.   Maybe a couple of years ago an alarming failure of these to reach gmail addreses, without any non-delivery message, emerged.  It seemed to be due to the absence of an SPF entry on its DNS record.  Once that had been added all was ok again.   The SPF entry is still there, but the symptoms have reapppeared.  I've narrowed it down to email From that domain posted via both Greenby and Plusnet webmail.  The same messages sent from the same domain via a mail client, via SMTP to the PN relay, seem all to get through ok. So does one sent by webmail using my official PN mailbox domain [me]@[myPNUsername].plus.com. I submitted a carefully written problem-ticket request last night, and find it got an immediate very detailed response from their bot, saying "Thank you for the detailed explanation - this is really helpful information...This is an interesting deliverability issue..."  It then went on to enumerate and explain several possible factors which could have been involved, and asked me to submit a fresh ticket with details of a missing email's sender, time, and intended recipient, so that they could check their logs and diagnose further.   I was actually impressed, for the first time, by the response's quality.  I guess bots must benefit from high quality input from users. 😉

      The sand is back and I’m sure it’s going to close again! The pool is getting murky
