I am delaying my birthday bash (if you can call it a bash)a week or so, so that I can email out a few people to see if they want to come along, seeing that only the ever-lovely caffeine_fairy and bibliogirl responded to the post.

It will probably be at the Café Sol since I have to report with great sadness, the passing of the Oasis which has now transformed into an establishment under the dubious name of Rinky-Dink (we think...)which has far too many little cuboid pouffé chairs (there must be a proper name for them, but it eludes me)arranged around back-breakingly low tables. The decorative motif is that shade of mauve that people call pink and makes the rest of us wonder if we've gone colour blind.

There appears to be a cocktail bar at the rear, but no sign of limitless crispy duck which was the entire raison d'etre of the Oasis.

The bottom has fallen out of the Clapham crispy duck market since DT moved north of the river, I fear.

Ah ... here in Ilford we mourn the passing of Dragon City, the best lemon chicken and crispy duck I've ever had.

I would love to come celebrate your birthday with you ( I'd have to bring the other half and he can be socially inept etcetc so I would have to apologise in advance but I make up for it! :D )I'm not sure when it is or where it is but if you can face me possibly being there with my socially inept Darrell then that would be nice. I couldn't have done the 4th but is that the one you mean you have moved to the folowing week?

Sorry I didn't reply before; I didn't see it! OOooops! I had the blasted lotriconscommunity on my friends list and they post every minute I think. It swamped other posts and now I've removed them I can see again!

Sorry for long rambly reply. I'll stop now. I don't do this socially. Really. No really I don't.

You might well be more likely to get rotwang by delaying it a week, his sojourn to Halifax in that time frame is not yet set in stone.

Yes, the Rinky-Dink does look decidedly trendoid. Sigh.

I'll happily trot along to any venue in order to offer birthday insults, spill beer on people, fall asleep at the table and generally behave as normal for me.

Incidentally, I understand that as a result of DT's move north, Clapham is now an extra inch above sea-level.

Happy birthday for the 4th, whatever you decide.
