That'll be administrator, I guess with a name like that it was destiny ;) http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/profile.php?9,1

Sounds like a good idea as it goes. Mind you camera phone pictures especially at any distance tend to be about as useful as post office cctv stills.

Whew, someone spotted the elephant in the room, I thought I was just being a thicko. Mind you Manatee sounds sort of chinese.

I haven't found any that I'm thrilled by but oriental culture [7701 1818] on denmark hill are friendly and reasonable and the foods fine and I'm sure they'll deliver all the way over the hill, but nothing extraordinary. Word on the forum is that the Thai Pavilion is good stuff, but have yet to try.

Well, while we're talking about weird things on stuff, what the hell are the white plastic tihngs that look like a miniature swing on loads of the trees around ED?

It's ok, i didn't realise you could search by author

Is there a way to view a posters previous posts? There's so much activity these days that I'm sometimes having trouble working out who is who. That ability would be extremely useful in helping to remind one who has said what and stances (possibly inconsistent?) taken.

I was wandering down champion hill to Denmark Hill this morning and a very well dressed gentleman in his late 50s was walking two of those yappy wandering balls of cotton wool (small dogs that crush men's spirits as my friend calls them), fat miniature poodle type things (i'm not that good on breeds) and they both laid cables and he happily wandered off. I was late for my train otherwise would have had words as he wasn't scary, but shows it's all sorts that do it.

I'm not sure I've seen this militancy of which you speak (apart from snorky obviously), occasionally people get a bit heated. The hardline here comes from the council surely, with that arbitrary 50% rule, which neither seems sensible or well defined. That notwithstanding, there are quite a number of tenapenny eminently forgettable food places on LL and I wouldn't lose sleep at night were they to close and allow a space for someone to open up something a tad more interesting, even were that to be a legitimate Nero.

As it goes I believe flickr's terms of use actually preclude anyone under the age of 16 (could even be 18). Does the forum have any limitations? Doesn't seem to be anything specific on the TOU, but never spotted anyone on here who smacks of being a young'un (unless they're an eloquent young'un).

I was under the impression they already are, quite amazing really

See what I mean, annoying isn't it. *note to admin, just illustrating a point, feel free to delete discussion*

Yes, the egomaniacal group award things are pretty ugly and annoying, the barney rubble pez group is at once a pastiche of these and ridiculously annoying. I was more referring to young'uns getting on flickr and randomly adding hundreds of people as contacts in some sort of bid to get as many friends as possible, and invading discussion groups with things like "can you all look at my photos and affirm me and love me?" or "Who hear loves the Kaiser Chiefs?". grrrrr

How on earth can you be shot AND unhurt; if it was a peashooter that's rather stretching the definition of shooting isn't it? Mind you my teacher at school always assured me that I could have someone's eye out, so fair enough really.

Did you know I once bumped into Sean McGuire during a lunch time drink in a (admittedly dodgey) bar just outside the city and remember he used to play Tegs in Grange Hill. He and his mates were right cheeky chappies, I'd go as far as to say that Tegs and co were quite naughty.

Sorry shambles, was just continuing the weakly disguised besmirching campaign, i will admit to being a tad oblique at times.

I used to love that 80's Top of the Pops dance outfit, Legs & Co.

It'll all be sorted int the end.

It's a post 1980's popular culture reference Huguenot, you wouldn't have heard of it ;-P

perfect.

apart from "- blogs - online chat" of which there is a plethora of stuff out there, I think this forum pretty much fulfils the rest doesn't it? Particularly for the last, where it's a bit more like meeting nice people down the local, than networky things like MySpace (yeech), in fact I've noticed a myspacey invasion of flickr (my other addiction) recently.

Marvellous, of course if you geotagged them then my greasemonkey scripts would immediately throw up a little google map of the location, tsk tsk, poor show Huguenot. (i really need to get a life don't I)

yep, am liking chapter, a sort of esoteric order of the forumites (a bit like the canaanites but with a xenophobic hatred of coffee emporia) feeling about it.

A vermicelli? A spittoon? A grout? A ream? A shelf?

Yes, I thought it was one of those antiquarian god-bothery type stores for a while and was positively afraid of it until I followed a friend in and saw how nice it was, though a lick of paint would do it the world of good, can't cost that much surely. It's particularly good as you get books there that are bit off the beaten track figuratively speaking. This one was a real fave, PM me if you want borrowage. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Groundwater-Diaries-Tributaries-Stories-Beneath/dp/000713083X/ref=sr_1_2/026-7385835-5822840?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1172834989&sr=1-2
