I've just woken up in the horrors of drink. A gentleman does not complain about hangovers but gosh my head hurts. Ok, i'm going to have a very slow start to the day.

The staff at the Effra were brilliant, thank you.

Had a few, had you? you were rather slurring your posts at 3am
By the way, since when have you been a gentleman?

For anyone who is interested in things historical - Effra Social barman says they have a basement full of the Tory club records. He brought up a random book to show us - it was the 1927-1935 minutes book. Started with a report of a club turnover of £90 15s 6d and a 30% profit in the first meeting of 1927, all in lovely cursive handwriting, brief formal notes in a hard bound book.

I might just mention that to the Brixton archives... I'm sure they would be keen to take a look.

What /where is Brixton archives? I'm sure the pub would like that - the bloke we spoke to seemed clueless as what to do with it all, and very willing to share.

Greebo it was a shame you weren't at the Social the other night. Various people said they were looking forward to meeting you. Hope you and ViolentPanda can make it next time.

We'll see (got home after a bluearsed fly of a day, changed into something dry, and promptly fell asleep for 3 hours). Glad that those of you who could get there had a good time anyway. :)

Typical profit-driven Tory scum. :D
 
Hmm. I was in the garden when that storm started. I got soaked in the time it took me to get back in the house....the cat shot into the house past me, as did a small black cat with a white nose. So if it's yours, it's under my sofa.
 
My cats don't seem overly concerned with thunder, or even rain. I've known a couple of big dogs that were absolutely petrified of it, and if you were sitting down they would try to climb onto your lap.

This was pretty exciting up here- was more like buckets being emptied than rain.

(And my cat is a complete wimp- he has made no attempt to oust the intruder :rolleyes:)
 
Reminder: Tomorrow from 11am till 2pm - Restart Project at South London Makerspace, 27 Norwood Road (next door to the Brockwell Park Costcutter). Bring your broken electronics and learn how to repair them. Crusty old laptops, toasters that won't stay down, anything considered! Kids, food, drink and music welcome :)

Any good for wonky Dyson vacuums?
 
Managed to excuse myself from spending the next two days in a muddy field in deepest Kent. Sometimes you really want engineering works on the rail network. Don't want to tempt fate but it's nice a sunny in Brixton.
