Peter — As we all know Albany Road is SE5 and as the Thomas A Becket is on the junction of Albany Road/Old Kent Road — I think that makes it alright!!!

Oh come now Peter — I’m sure we’d all be interested, it is after all a stones throw away up the Old Kent Road…

The Thomas-A-Beckett on Old Kent Road; what a sad state for a pub with such a colourful history. Unfortunately located in SE1 so I can’t write about it here, unless I find some way to tie it in with another subject…

Maybe not relevant to this thread but check out this fantastic website I’ve discovered -

http://www.derelictlondon.com — there are more than a few derelict old pubs in South London amongst other buildings here…although rather I’m rather baffled at how The Bricklayers Arms on Southampton Way is credited as Nunhead!!! — I know a lot of people love photography on this blog (myself included)

And now, for Culture Corner. Here’s a little poem that I stumbled upon, which I hope some of you will like.
It’s called Resume (with an accent over the e, which I can’t find on my keyboard):

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

Went to the Dark Horse last Friday, without realising it was their opening night. It was VG — great food, really nice atmosphere and it was packed …
Prices reasonable too …
Really good to have a place like this within walking distance. Will def go again.

apparently I’m a Cocker Spaniel and there was me thinking I was a mellow dignified Black Labrador all these years…there were 5 answers but I assumed the highest percentage matched me — I might go and mark my territory on the wall of The Dark Horse very soon…

and i’m apparently a Jack Russell… not too far off! also sampled the Dark Horse last night (wondered if there would be any other bloggers but didn’t feel like screaming “Dagmar!, Eusebiovic!” like a deranged pet owner) looks v v similar to Blakes with similar-ish service… all very friendly, but when we asked what the difference was between the classic cocktails and the special cocktails (other than 2 dollar) we got, “I dunno, I’ll just make them special”… ho hum… variety is the spice of life. And my mates are now all obsessing about good tapas in Camberwell.. make it soon!
