Out with Mockney last night.


So spizzered I couldn't remember if I'd paid the bill.


If it's the people that make the place then Dave the barman is a very nice pub! Next time I need to get irrationally tonkered and discuss the Cathars, recent history of Cirencester, Tess of the D'Urbevilles and contemporary pop (when I was right and everyone else was wrong), I shall do it there...


Hurrah!

Just to reiterate that Dave is indeed a very nice pub and I'm sure I'll be back.


I seem to have been given a severe mauling by the beer monkey and his thieving ways, so I'm guessing I contributed to the bill, and probably insisted ;)

(but have no memory whatsoever, I blame the Cathars)

Hmm, you may have paid all the bill Mockney, I distinctly remember behaving like the Hooded Claw at leaving time convinced that we'd paid the bill twice ;-)


Nicky Nu is heading to the tasting at Black & Blue tonite. One suspects that the beer monster is already sneering in his self-righteousness. We shall have to see if there are any free places, or Mockney may well end up pawing at the window like Tiny Tim craving a prosthetic limb....


I object to my own use of the word 'prosthetic'.

The Drum may be very nice and the retro 'Hammer Horror set-in-70s Chelsea' feel of some of the staff is amusing. Only problem is that in the past their opening hours have been a tad irregular. I have sometimes drifted round the corner at a xcivilised hour looking for a quick latte to lift my flagging spirits to find the shutters down. Perhaps a little more regularity might encourage more punters?

Ah 'The Starchy Gallery' - A Triumph In Potatoes-, fantastic isn't it, Space Station 65 is still one of the better things about North Cross. I saw someone had done Botticelli's ?Birth of Venus'. Go to the site and check out Delacroix?s ?Liberty leading The People', genius. The analysis and discussion page is very good too.

    • People living on main roads like South Circular,  Lordship Lane, Croxted Road, Grove Vale etc  have been treated like rubbish all alibg. I hope the Grove Tovern is developed into a green space or a block of flats. Let's hope montana trump supporters will perish as soon as
    • Hi!  Our just 4 year old is currently taking swimming classes with Cindy’s swim school and we’re finding them a bit too easy and hands on. On holiday recently she swam (albeit without much style!) at least 8m on her own.     We’re thinking of signing her up to the improvers lessons at JAGS.  I believe there are up to 10 children per class and two teachers in the water.  Has anyone had any experience of these classes? Do they encourage independent swimming? thank you 🙏 
    • Odd post.  London continues to be full of green and public space.  Labour kicked off the creation of a massive new park with revived and cleaner waterways in East London. Perhaps a mountain hut in Montana off grid may be more suitable for your needs, running water, timber, deer, a lifetimes supply of shotgun pellets, and hunting knives will do you fine.
