Next EDF Drinks - Friday 5th Dec at The Wishing Well Inn

[AllyCat]

An "interesting" pub I thought - lots to observe! However one of the most fun Forum drinks I've been too - Can't believe that the local man singing Yogi Bear to the lovely Georgia "won" the Kareoke - Keef was robbed!

Maybe next time Strawbs and I might even make it to the mic for Living on A Prayer.... (hmmm - maybe not!)

Lovely to see everyone!

[Keef]

To be fair, I voted for him, comedy value. He could have bought Georgia a drink though!

[MrBen]

Apologies for my late arrival (11.45pm). What a scene though as I walked in. Four of the hardest guys I have ever seen. Someone sitting on the floor. Some 15 yr olds with wooly hats on and tracksuits. Ten completely plastered fourumites

And Keef and Jah Lush duetting Suspicious Minds.

Not too steady myself I almost knocked over a builders wife's red wine. Which had nothing left in it. But had to apologise profusely to avoid getting stabbed. Top night.

MrBen

Thank you for the apology you did seem a tad unsteady on your feet on entering the pub and seemed to head straight for Mrs Bob s drink which had at least 50 pence worth of wine left but I managed to save it with my lightnig fast reactions.

I would also like to point out that I am not nor have I ever been a builder and have also given up stabbing people in favour of the quick shooting.

Keef I along with most of the forumites voted for the Bear song purely on comedy value and to be fair to the singer at the end of the night he won 25 pounds for his effort's and was looking to share the money with Georgia but she had already gone, great night.

I hadn't expected to make it but bloody hell what a good night. One of the best. Really enjoyed this one. The Karoake which I'd never done before was a good laugh, Keef was awesome and Mac you should be ashamed of yourself for bottling out, the beer flowed and although I was pretty well juiced before I got there I'm pretty sure I behaved myself and didn't flirt as much as I usually do. Great to meet all the oldies and newbies too (Jumping Jack Flash, cor! What a stunner) And the bear song. Brilliant! Good old fashioned vulgarity at it's best. Thanks to the bar staff too. Lovely old fashioned boozer which I hadn't been too in a while.

I have been told i was quiet on friday but i loved every minute. I do wish i hadn t bottled it but there it is. . A bit weird we were called yuppies by some of the locals but several other locals were sound out. Nice to meet sharon h local as well as drinks first timers. I have been in there a few times lately and will be back.

[bob]

Had a really good time too. Lovely to finally meet some forumites face to face. Agree Keef was brilliant belting out 'Livin on a Prayer'. Good start to my weekend.

[georgia]

It was a great night, I have just about recovered from my humiliation. Can't believe he won the money though, it should have been Keef's.

[Sharon_H]

It was nice to put some faces to names on Friday as a first timer, but very disappointed that I missed most of the singing as I had to leave early, ah well maybe next time.

[Brendan]

Man I?m so gutted I missed this. Really sounds like it was a good night.

[TillieTrotter]

ditto

[Keef]

Can't believe he won the money though, it should have been Keef's.

The guy from behind the bar came round to ask for our votes, and we just told him to stick our whole party down for the Yogi Bear song. One of his mates did come up to me later and say he'd voted for me though, bless him.

I didn't hear any of the yuppy comments, and found most of the locals to be really friendly. There was no confrontation that I saw all night. I absolutely love all the carpentry behing the bar too, proper proper old school pub! CPT still has it, but it's not taken care of, whereas this looked like it was regularly varnished and polished.

Shame for the wine drinkers about the Pino G (vastly over rated wine IMO), but they had decent beer and whiskey, so I was happy enough.

Brendan and Tillie, real shame you guys missed it, I was chatting to Annasfield who also missed it, and we were thinking of arranging another Friday down there sometime for anyone who fancies a few beers and a sing song!

By the way, who was the lovely Geordie lass newbi who made it to the bitter end and stumbled back towards Dulwich with the rest of us? Remember her saying her user name was Japanese, but other than that it is all very very hazy! Nice to meet you anyway!

[Bellenden Belle]

I couldn't remember the Geordie lass's name either (there again I have trouble remembering my own at times)... but she was absolutely lovely.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I know - but she may not want it plastered on a forum just yet... I'll PM you

[mockney piers]

I've noticed the photos are up, are they not being advertised any more?

[Jah Lush]

Where?

[mockney piers]

[Michael Palaeologus]

Some classics as ever. Just what was Floating Onion doing behind Buggie?

[Jah Lush]

Oooh! Thanks Mockers

[Ant]

Some terrible ones of me up there. Oh dear.

Also, Keef, check yer PM.

[ratty]

This wishing well has always been a top pub. Not least because my wife used to work in it, and, it used to have a snooker table out the back that would only cost ?2 an hour. Happy hour all day (til 6) in those days with drinks being ?1 a pint!

[TillieTrotter]

I'm loving the one of Lushy singing with outstretched arm. Get in there you little Diva>:D
