South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

i would suggest a new pub to try out as MultiGroove and me had a rekke of some sort and seem to have foundan agreeable spot, which has yet to be field tested <that means you folks to rock up and take_the_place_apart™

so it comes with a beaut of a location (imho), 2.50 a pint of local and weird ales (a.o. ubu), food food fooood starting at very reasonable prices (5 squids for brit. saussages) and plenty outdoor seating with plenty indoor space to accommodate us for potentially freezing temperatures to come.

so it is The Old Thameside Inn here right by that 'old pirate ship' behind borough marked.
that'll be very south side of the river, literally as we can [STRIKE]barf[/STRIKE] spit in the Thames sitting at the tables.

...and
@citygent: we are not lazy!

Guys have you thought about the Anchor as well, just next door, near vinopolis on clink st?
Large amounts of outdoor and indoor space, right next to the river.

I might be possibly visiting the Kings Arms this evening as well

possibly.

And how many pints did you have exactly before you did that reconnaissance, that is so agreeable? It doesn't sound like a true SE ethos to agree straight away on anything:-)

I can ride past the KA tonight. Will be there around 5.30-ish.

UPDATE

There will be an expeditionary party going to the Roebuck tonight to check on the state of the building work outside.

If anyone wishes to join then do feel free.

Quickie on the way home FTW. What time will you all be there?

Depends on what time my boss decides to let me go.

It would be a fairly safe bet to say that this will be at approx half five though.

How has your chainwhipping of Hillbilly been going?

Completely off-topic post, but does anyone know if someone has ever studied non-depressive manics? It doesn't seem like it would a very popular field in the medical or psych worlds, in that a non-depressive manic wouldn't need help. In fact, it might've never come to the attention of the medical world that it even exists. It's just that's what I am and I wondered if I might find something to read about it.

And before anyone says "You can't be manic without depression... blah blah" like I've been told by extremely "knowledgable" (i.e. they read a book about it once and they see a counsellor sometimes) people, I am a normal, really happy, stable person and sometimes, I have the same manic episodes a manic depressive does, where I am hyper (think like Reeen after a couple of beers) and in a manically happy state (think someone having boshed a couple of e's and a dabbed a fair bit of speed), I can't stand still and I'm just bouncing with more energy than I know what to do with. And then I return to normal the next day, no come-down, no bounce back into the blues. It's like being a manic depressive, but my baseline is 4 notches higher.

I'm not sure if it's a natural medical condition, or if I maybe have some kind of food allergy that's getting me like that or what. So just curious really, in case any of you have ever seen a study paper on the subject.

Nothing personal and no offence, Tea-Bee, I am far from judging people. I think the whole spectrum of human is too broad to simply say: this is this and this is that - this is normal and this is ill. It was one of my thesis in my final paper work :)

As I know, Mania is included in ICD-10 , but not in DSM-IV, for example. But as you are probably aware, very often 'medical diagnosis' are changing according to the spirit of the society. Something what was considered as 'abnormal' is not abnormal anymore and vice versa.

Leaving here at 5, will be there at 5.30-ish Nhatt.

i shall be coming downn! when my bikes sorted out... anyone from norwood, tulse hill that way? i saw a guy on a white frame with pink faded lugs (sprayed) and dropouts on chain stays?? was going up streatham hill directly in front of streatham hill station? ...niceee ride how ever it wass..

i neeed to meeet that guy! and take him out for a spin :P

I'll swing by, but I'm nearly an hour behind you

bummer, I've just started a little smoking session to usher in the new season of Family Guy with some friends. I'd bring them along now but I think they're all too baked already.

might have to pop down one of these days - would be nice to meet folk from here

arg, fail.

The Anchor is great in terms of outdoor seating (with heating) and places to park bikes.

BUT... The service is diabolical and it is full of tourists... A bit soulless too...

+1 more soulless than old Faust.

racist!

Make up your minds, please! I need these "Tuesdays" like fish needs water. Or a pint.

You are all Fail, Destroyer of Faith.

Wayne, Claire Nikolai and myself had a very civilised beer.

Where were the rest of you?

Drinking at home............................. alone :(.

(think like Reeen after a couple of beers)

Thanks but no thanks. I'll still need my mind relatively intact for a while.
