O Cantinho... You'll love it...

With the upside that you'll be able to sell it on at a massive profit to those who are looking to move back.

That's a pretty good idea for a new reality/management advice type show for C5 or BBC3. "Markyboy Queen of Pubs". Each episode would just be a 15 second piece with the offending practice list read out in VO over shots of the issues in question. Fin.

^I refer of course to Markyboy's list of Effra gripes on the previous page. Fuck this stupid new format.

Do I know you? It's not a list of fucking gripes. It used to be my local, now my partner gets told she's a 'black princess' by a (white) regular for the music on Thursdays, because she wouldn't give up her seat to him and his friends and Carlson, knowing what he said, asks me not to take the guy outside for a kicking, because he and his mates come every week and spend a lot of money. Let's ignore the amount of money my family's spent in there watching football.

Then, a couple of weeks later, Carlson hits on my partner's daughter and gives her a really hard time for not agreeing to go out for a drink with him.

So, Carlson's basically a cunt and can't fuck off soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

He sounds like a cunt.

Do I know you?

I think you used to, before his old username went begging. :)

I've got a lot of time for Carlson, can't stand his boozer anymore but I like him, warts and all...

Pubs are a mug's game, don't know how he does it...

He's an utter cunt. A fucking sex pest with a young girl half his age, then goes out of his way to make her feel uncomfortable because she won't go out for a drink with him when he's a married, fat, middle aged man. Just a complete cock, no redeeming features, no wonder his pub's half empty these days...

@Markyboy Whoa. Touched a nerve. I thought it was funny. And yep you do know me. It's Al (dooks). Sorry you had a shit experience dude.

I liked the Effra but must admit to having only been there for the first time around the time I appeared on here in '08. In fact I have a feeling I might have been out riding with Corny and run into TS before ending up in there at TS's suggestion. I've been a very occasional visitor since.

As someone who has only been there a dozen or so times in the last five years I really don't feel like I have stake or mandate to comment on what it was, is or might become. I have no opinion on the owner having never knowingly met him.

I still think 15 second pub reviews would be funny.

I fainted at work due to illness the day before. Left the (fixeh) bike there and trained home. Was returning by train the next morning.

Are you alright?

Yeah fine. Just a head cold plus coffee, no food, commute and a deadline. Wiped me out and I stood up from desk and keeled over.

It's all about Catford these days. Apparently.

catfrod is jokez.

Glad you're alright.

I was told, in a lecture room of ever increasing temperature and complexity, fainting was for Victorian women.

Mate I'm all for Victorian women.
