CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Otford here, I'm the other K. We should indeed have a get together.

Ei?
Coded stuff from Kayak or too many beers?
Who knows LOL

Howdo everyone. Hope there are a few peeps still around. Some of my stocks did OK today, more blue than red so I'm thankful for small mercies.

On the strength of that I'll have a dose of sherry trifle.

Hi Socco, have a Guinness as well we are trying to move some stock :-)

Thanks Opto but I don't drink Guinness, it's wonderful for washing your feet in though.

Another chow mein please.....burp, scuse me.

That's Ok just remember to put your dishes out when you're done, ok chaps I'm off for the weekend, have a restful couple of days and sees you Monday :>)

Evening all

not been in for a while as been occupied by moving house. Finally moved in today - thought id pop in for a couple of pints of guiness :-)

Bucket of Guiness please, and another danish.

Looks like the 7Oaks crew should meet at Tandoori Nights ;-)

Ok, blurp, world record in progress, give me another chow mein and I'll have that guinness that's been sitting on the bar for a couple of hours.

Keaydian, did you drink my second bucket of guinness? drank the first and felt a bit tipsy so I went for a quick swing in the hammock with my danish. When I woke up ready for my second bucket of guiness it had gone!

Washed feet, Spacie?

The Sevenoaks sub-branch will be interested to know that bees swarmed this afternoon in front of Mamma Cappuccini. Much panic by bystanders as well as varying identification as wasps, flies, and even daddy longlegs. Bees are actually harmless when they swarm since they don't have a nest to protect and are laden with honey they have taken from the old nest. The swarm is now sitting in one of the trees in front of the pub next door, waiting for the drones to find them a new nest. That will probably be in someone's chimney nearby.

I suspect the plods will call a local apiarist who will come and take it to an empty hive. The bees will reward him by giving him lots of lovely honey.

K, they are normally fairly harmless, they don't seem to like being disturbed but of you leave them alone they want harm anyone.

We had a swarm of bees settle on the outside of house and then make a home in the wall cavity, in the end after about 4-6 weeks we had to have them destroyed, we didn't want to but we were advised that it was the only option (by local bee-keepers) as the nest was inaccessible and the bees can do damage (honey soaks into walls etc..), for about 2 years after this we had a faint smell of honey in the room nearest where they had been. The bee-keeper described the original swarm as huge.

While they were in residence we had literally hundreds of bees getting inside our house but they seemed to die pretty quickly, I think they must need food or water or something, I remember one weekend when we had been away that the floor was covered dead bees.

Morning has broken.

blackbird has spoken.

And we shall have tea......morning all.

Morning opti, tea sounds good along with a FEB ;-)

FEB been and gone tea all the way to lunchtime....with the odd danish (lovely girl she is) beats Olga :-)
