Eats Dulwich

I've got lingering cold symptoms but i also have an itchy forehead. Google suggests it might be a sign of skin cancer but there are no moles, marks or even a rash, it just itches, so i really don't think it's that. Anyone else got a cold/itch combo?

Steve used to joke that my old VW Golf kept them in business. I've got a more reliable car now so maybe that's why they are closing. Sad day.

I hate to be that guy but i don't think you'll get much joy calling 999 if your phone has been stolen.

Depends which end of East Dulwich you are of course. The train from Denmark Hill to Clapham High Street takes only 4 minutes and it's only a few more minutes to Clapham Junction. I'm off Lordship lane and I prefer to hop on a bus to Denmark Hill than take the sluggish 37.

What is going on with all the roadworks at the moment? Went to Ivy House tonight. First there was a diversion on Underhill Road so went down Barry Road instead and was caught in massive jam on Peckham Rye at 7.30pm not rush hour, down to one lane with temporary lights. So on our return we headed to Dulwich Library via Goose Green end of Lordship Lane and Lordship Lane itself was closed. Went down East Dulwich Grove and temporary lights near Tessa Jowell. The roadworks seemed endless. Started to think i was in an episode of Black Mirror sponsored by Conway. Edited to add - Admin, I see most of this has been mentioned elsewhere - feel free to delete thread as I can't!

We fostered a cat from Celia Hammond and I don't remember any criteria being mentioned at all although they did visit our house – presumably to check we had enough room to swing it! Seriously though, it may be that there are different rules for fostering and adopting. We fostered on a temporary basis as we couldn't give a long-term commitment, but it ended up being permanent because nobody wanted to adopt our ageing moggy.

I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

I made it to Victus and Bibo at last. Definitely a bar vibe but they've also got a pretty decent menu. Basic but good value and tasty. Welcome addition to this end of Lordship Lane. Review here: https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/p/restaurant-review-viktor-and-bibo?r=8oe6m

Deleted as I've just repeated what has already been said!

That's the one , tried to go at the weekend but it was closed for holidays. Couldn't see their name. i thought it had only just opened so bit surprised to see it closed for hols so soon!

tbh not impressed. I review restaurants and decided to give them benefit of the doubt that it was an off day and didn't write it up. There's a new restaurant by the Plough which I think is Turkish (where the strange French restaurant was many years ago). Planning to try that soon, if anyone has been let me know what you think./

Or ten minutes limp.

Driving down one of the side streets near the park last night we saw a group of kids in front holding a rope across the road. Did feel a little anxious and then when we got closer it turned out to be a harmless trick - nothing in the road/dangerous, just three kids on each side holding long twigs as if they were tugging a rope between them. i'm conflicted - quite a theatrical prank (I presume copied from online) but given the location could well have been the same group mentioned above.

That's strange, I thought I recommended [email protected] who is based at Oru but I can't see the post now!

That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too.
