Moving to ED


Gingerbeer

Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am planning on moving to East Dulwich within the next couple months, and was looking for a place to meet new people? I will know absolutely noone in London (zero, zilch, nada) and could maybe use a friend or two come fall. Any good ideas?

come on lashings, you're all take and no give - what sort of things do YOU like and that'll help people know if they like the cut of you and your American ways (fall?) ;-)


You are moving to a cracking area and you'll do just fine. But what gives with the move and not knowing anyone? Job? Time of life?

Hah! I figured my writing would give away my American-ness. First off, I have to admit I dont know what dogging or netball is. :-$ I guess I should brush up on my English slang before I make a complete ass of myself. Well lets see about me.... Im 34, will be going to graduate school for International Relations and Diplomacy, hence the move without knowing anyone. I recently became the unwitting owner of 2 cats, so they will be coming with me. However I was thinking I should talk to at least a few people who can respond! I like pilates, jazz, am a self-proclaimed art nerd, love to read (mostly non-fiction). Ummm what else? I can tap dance! And am a rabid DIYer, even though most times Ive no idea what Im doing. Overall Im an introvert, occasionally shy, and my mom says "just asking for it since 1978". I tried to attach a pic to put a name with a face, er, log-in name.

Look on (almost) any thread and you will see so much of it in action... particularly if Huguenot and Undisputedtruth are having a (ahem) debate...


...and *Bob*'s your man for jazz B)

Billy I said I love jazz, not TO jazz! :)


Well since Im open to being the object of ridicule, Im going to ask a few questions hopefully someone will answer. And feel free to make fun of the dumb Americans in the process...


Is it true that:


I will tower over most of the populace being 6 feet tall, 6'3 in heels?


Most bars do not allow you to start a tab?


Gyms dont stay open 24 hours?


And does the stick on a manaual tranmission in a European car go 5 3 1 or 1 3 5 ???

R 4 2 2 4 R

What do you know... the average adult female in the US is half an inch taller than in England.

Wherever you go, heads will turn. People will whisper to each other... "she must be American, they're ever so tall you know".

Did you know that an the average Englishman's penis size is approximately twice as long as the average American's?

And I thought americans would be more 'rootbeer' than gingerbeer...


Btw, my advice is to check out the 'what's on' section of this forum, loads of local things happening that you can join in depending on your interests. Good luck.

    • No of course they shouldn't, but if you are really unhappy with a service and nothing improves when you (and others)  complain, then an obvious option is to go elsewhere rather than stay in a bad situation. Especially where your health is concerned.

    • unbelievable  - not only does he pop back up to NOT address a point, he then lies about how often he checks the  forum "I hadnt checked in on the forum in quite a long time, but had reason to, as am planning a quick trip back later this year...and of course couldn't resist a peek at Sunlit Uplands." I wonder what "quite a long time" can be defined as? Days? Weeks? Months? Because dear reader, if we were to take a look at forum IP records I can assure you that Cat is a regular visitor - he just chooses not to post. But mention his name and boom there he is But yes, there is merit to the argument that there is no-one posting on here which given how much the population loves to grumble about the cost of everything it still collectively won't engage with what it needs to do to start addressing the problems And I used the Australian trade deal as an example
