Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,


Thanks so much for coming yesterday. It was so nice to have such a big gang of us, and welcome Helen!

What a film! I'll try to make the next one a comedy or something!


See you soon,

Hi All,


I thought I'd arrange a meet-up for Sat 28th June in the evening.

It's been a while and would be great to see some familiar and new faces.

As soon as the Peckham Plex publish their film times I'll post more details.

For those who've never been: we are a bunch of friendly locals who meet for a drink at The Rye pub and then wonder down to the Peckham Plex for a ?5 film.

Very sociable and easy going!

Pm me with any questions!

Hi All,


Just posting to remind everyone Film Club is this Sat 28th June. We'll be meeting in the Rye pub in the evening. I'm keeping a close eye on the films and will pick one as soon as they've published the timings.


Keep an eye on this thread for meeting time at the pub!

Hi All,

The Plex have published their films so I've picked the one which had the best reviews which is 'Chef'. It looks fun and isn't a chick flick so I thought the men would enjoy it as well!

Let's meet in The Rye pub from 7:20pm. I'll either have my film clacker board with me (I'm worried I've lost it) or a film club sign.


The film starts at 8:35, so we will leave the pub at 8:10.your choice if you'd like to get your ticket in advance or get it on the night at the cinema.

Hi All,


Next Film Club will be Sat 30th August in the eve.

We'll meet at The Rye Hotel Pub and then walk down to the Peckham Plex.

As soon as films and times are published, I'll give exact times. It will probably be a few days before hand.

You can either buy your ticket in advance, or get it on the night.


We are a very friendly sociable crowd who meet for a drink and then a film. We sometimes go for a drink afterwards.

New people come everytime so if you haven't been before you're very welcome.


Hope to see you there, Louisa

Hi Everyone,


ED Film club meets next Sat, 30th August.

The Plex won't publish their film times until a few days before, so watch this space!

We'll meet in the Rye pub early evening-ish!

Hope to see you there! Louisa

Hello,

I've looked at the films that are on this Sat, and the best choice seems to be The Keeper of Lost Causes. It scored 4/5 on Total Film, so should be good, or at least acceptable!

I've copied the review at the bottom of this post.

The film starts at 8:35 at the Plex, so let's meet at 19:15 in the Rye Pub. We'll probably be inside, I'll have the clacker board with me and I'll post on here where I'm sitting.

We'll leave the pub at about 20:10 to walk to the cinema and get tickets. Feel free to buy your ticket in advance!

PM me with any questions. Everyone is welcome, as usual!! There's always someone new each time so if you're not sure about whether to come, I promise everyone is super friendly!

See you 7:15 on Sat!

Louisa


The Keeper of Lost Causes:

Get your latest fix of Scandi noir with this punchy adaptation of the first novel in Jussi Adler-Olsen?s Department Q series, in which disgruntled Danish cop Carl M?rck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) picks up a forgotten case of a woman (Sonja Richter) who went missing five years ago. Needless to say, she?s still alive and enduring a fate that makes Lisbeth Salander?s life look like a bed of roses.


While the plot toys with credibility, director Mikkel N?rgaard (Borgen) conjures a squalid atmosphere ? the stuff of real nightmares. This is so grimly compelling that even if you want to look away, you won?t be able to.

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
