South London Beers: Reboot - Last Thursday of the Month at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, SE24

Good showing of the few tonight - a low-key night to warm the heart!
@Hillbilly - get well soon mate, you leaving before me shakes my faith in the universe
@Clefty - that computer is TOO small - PM me a link?
@Fiddy - cheers for the hat exchange - I will wear with pride
@Aidan - we're expecting the cigarette trick to be perfected by next week, see?
@Corny - thanks for saving me a la burger, even though they weren't quite up to usual scratch
@Fluffy - nice to meet you

• got home before curfew - +1 ;-)
  

Curfew? I've heard that's nicer in off peak times. Too many tourists around during summer.

nice to meet you too. and everyone.
Jacqui, no worries see you soon!
Pyjamas, you were most polite as I remember, but it was all in a haze of bbq smoke.

I'll be back, for the company and the burgers (shame I couldn't find a bionic terminator avatar to go with that...)

bionic woman's bionic eye is more than good enough..

Jacqui you FAIL, you promised me as well, in fact we shook on it..

shocking behavior, i demand halloumi placation in payment for your faildom...

I'm having a burger tonight - who's with me!

yes 'am. halloumi it is..

I have an awesome surprise for anyone at southies today.
it'll be hilarious.

what was this surprise then?

A board game of track racing - was it German or French.
I've a photo of them playing it, but Eyebrows looks absolutely demented.

what was this surprise then?

I think the words "awesome" and "hilarious" were slightly misleading....

At one point a random, passing drunk came over and took a long look at the box as if he was going to explain the rules, before pronouncing that he didn't understand German. He helpfully offered that it was to do with cycling, someone pointed out that the big picture of cyclists on the box was a bit of a giveaway.

Thanks to Corny for the top tip - when you've had enough lager to last you the week the previous day, switching to cider is a good option...

*This ?

This ?

That's the fella, looked like a fun game...

yes we all learnt the german word for Calf Cramp

WadenKrampf

ha!

And still the south drinks marches strong! I was working late, doing a spot of moonlighting/freelance, seem to have loads of that on at the moment, maybe it's because so many people are off on their hols. Still smiling about the barbie though.

Funny I got severe schenkelkrampf that evening.

that's wierd Aidan came down with a nasty attack of that at the pub before you arrived!

I rolled past this morning and my BBQ has gone, was it moved on Monday? I haven't had a chance to pick it up from the weekend yet and won't before I go away on holiday..

Could one of you SW People ask the landlord to look after it in his yard/cellar for me?

There's a beer in it for it's safe keeping!

It's out in the yard.

I mailed the landlord the other night about it. Not sure if the two things coincided. Its an easy thing to pinch though is it?

That has so many meanings round the mean streets of Abbeyvile East!

I just had 'beef' as he described it, with a kid up there. F-ing school holidays. He decides to step out from in front of a bus into me. I tutted at him, and got a 'gonna shoot you blad' type response. FFS. He's 13, I know his mum, she's got a good job at the council. In fact, I've got her email address, I might let her know that her son thinks that acting out his GTA4 fantasies is well weapon.

You should reply with "I might cave in your skull with my d lock before you even work out where to purchase a gun and then teach yourself how to use it you little fucking waste of air"

cheers snowy, Well Weapon is going to be my adjective of the day

"This typographic treatment is well weapon"

DO, it'd scunder him more than any other reponse.

I was talking to lots of S.London A&E staff lately. Obviously their too dark sense of humour comes from dealing with horrific accidents, blood and gore they see everyday. Said their favourite treatment at the moment is taking the p!ss out of the twunts who hold guns sideways and then get smacked in the face by hot spent cartridges*. There's no way I'd ever do that job.

But SteveO, I see him around a lot, he comes to the clinic etc. I'll give him another chance to see me and then decide. I was more f-ked off with the windy weather at the time.

*fnar.

Do it Chris. Kids growing up thinking that the right, or even acceptable, response to any minor altercation is to stab or shoot someone is a fat crock of shit. Whether they ever act on this impulse or not is beside the point, they need to know it's not OK and it's largely their parent's responsibility to teach them this. I'm sure his mum would be mortified and with any luck, box 'im ears good (to use the street parlance of our younger friends).

Fair enough, good plan. T'is rather windy today and stealth rain is annoying me. Was actually up by the yard today and felt what seemed to be the beginning of a downpour. But in the time it took for my sleep deprived brain to register that I was getting wet and do the whole looking up to see where the rain is coming from (why do I do that? where else would it be coming from) the rain stopped. Sneaky beggar.
