This was your first post about Hoopers on that thread. Jesus. Re: Drafthouse pub Lordship Lane Posted by Kingy September 04, 12:52PM 'Hoopers closed for good on Xmas Day and it certainly wasn't spit and sawdust. It was a very nice pub with a great selection of ales and a fairly good selection of wine. There was good music there and the comedy nights were fun. Damn that neighbour. I miss it.' but the knob running it was a damn fool http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1155477,page=3 ETA: Kingy's post is towards the bottom of that page. I don't know how to do a link directly to it.

What have I done to upset you, Annette Curtain? :))

Annette Curtain Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Thankfully they stay safely tucked up behind a > keyboard, making notes on which poster site upset > them most > xxxxxxx Well to be fair, what upset us was Zippo's poster minions taking our posters down (for an upcoming gig) and replacing ours with theirs. As if they didn't have sufficient posters around the area already. And as if we (well one of us, not me) didn't spend bloody hours each month trekking round ED and many other areas putting our posters up in friendly shop windows. I'm sure it's not just us that this happens to. Why do Zippo's think their circus is so much more important than anybody else's events?

If I > don't recognize it I google it- ( sad aren't I ?)- > but it works ( no PPI claims here!) xxxxxxxx So do I! But I never answer my landline any more because of the number of spam calls I get, despite supposedly being TPS blah blah. If I'm in, I wait for my answering machine to kick in. If a caller is genuine, they will usually start to leave a message and I can intercept it. Googling the 1471 number usually identifies the caller as flogging - yes, PPI "refunds" or something equally unwanted ....

Here we go, the Cherry Tree attack on Sue gathers pace again. Maybe you missed the other people's posts besides mine, Manager? Another "old saying" - When in a hole, stop digging. ETA: For those who don't know the history, a search on "New Management The Cherry Tree" will bring up an enlightening thread - currently number 12 on the page that comes up from the search. It was a very very long thread, and its contents will shed light on why so many local people will no longer eat or drink in The Cherry Tree. And "Manager" - actually, I think this is a pretty good use of my time, all things considered. Whereas posting fake recommendations for your pub on here is perhaps not the wisest use of yours.

They never learn, do they? It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. Oh no, hang on .... it's funny :)) ETA: I know I shouldn't, but ... here's just one example ..... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,1164920,1164920#msg-1164920

And I wasn't aware that SewEastDulwich sold fabric? It sold sewing and knitting "materials" - not "material" in the sense of fabric??

Glad she's OK mumra, what a terrible nightmare for you all.

Maybe I've just been unlucky in the times I've been there.

Ooops, sorry if I offended anyone. Best of luck for the future.

See you at the circus! xxxxxx How about when you remove other people's legally placed posters to make room for your own? How about when, as I heard from one ED shopkeeper, you go into their shop in order to put a poster on the inside of their glass door without having the courtesy to ask them if you can?

That was a great night. I think I was the oldest person there :(

numbers Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Vik Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > In your opinion Sue. > > > > I agree with TonyQuinn. > > What Vik said. xxxxxxx Ok, fair enough numbers, I'm out-number-ed (sorry sorry). How would you all define a "fine establishment", as in "One of Dulwich's finest establishment", and what would you say were the other "fine establishments" in Dulwich? I thought it was a quite nice little place selling plants, with friendly people and occasionally some quite nice plants. It had very little space so the selection was extremely small, and the prices weren't that cheap. Sometimes the plants on sale were let's say tired, and other times they weren't kept sufficiently watered. No idea about their "excellent gardening knowledge", as I never had cause to ask their advice, but it would be a bit surprising if they didn't have good knowledge given that they were running a plant centre, albeit a very small one!

Thanks for that, I wouldn't have known about this otherwise. ETA: Anyone else reminded of David Inshaw by the final picture on the Southwark webpage? Just looked it up - it's this one! http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.globalartprints.co.uk/images/David-Inshaw-Cricket-Game-I.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.globalartprints.co.uk/David-Inshaw-Cricket-Game-I-Art-Print&h=293&w=432&sz=20&tbnid=oZuW_SzV8tfoZM:&tbnh=78&tbnw=115&zoom=1&usg=__CY0oju-F7wf4N0_tYFHSM52a0Gk=&docid=z5SeKcfr-ZhuzM&sa=X&ei=Sug2UsCyNfTb7Abqu4GQBA&ved=0CKwBEP4dMBA Oh and this is the Southwark page with pictures of the proposals on: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200438/dulwich_park_art_commission/3119/shortlisted_artists Edited again to say, before anybody makes any comments about get a life etc, I'm laid up in bed ill :))

El Pibe Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- a gentrification process > that I was obviously a part of in some small way. xxxxxxxx Oh God that's worrying. I moved here in 1991 (AAARRRGGGHHH) because it was near woods and parks :)) Oh, and I could afford a small but three (well, two and a half) bed terraced house instead of a tiny one bed flat in Highgate, and my then OH wanted an office. Some years later, I was told by a neighbour (in jest) "We knew when you moved in it was the beginning of the end - as soon as you put those window boxes out the front". :)) :)) :))

Sew East Dulwich was clearly trying to cash in (I don't mean that in a negative way) on the current sewing/knitting/craft/"upcycling" trend. Unfortunately (but understandably given the ED demographic) it was pitched at those people with enough money to buy expensive materials, and I guess there just weren't enough of them around who were into sewing etc. It's a bit of a strange thing really - a supposedly austerity-driven trend which attracts better-off people to spend a lot of money on making something for themself which they could afford to buy ready made. I know it's supposed to be about creative satisfaction, but often there is very little creativity involved. Anyway, I digress .... Another thing, it was a brave move to devote a whole shop to this, given that many people buy sewing and knitting materials on the internet, where there is huge choice at reasonable prices. I'm sorry Sew East Dulwich failed, not least because I thought it was a great name, but also not surprised, sadly. Please God it becomes neither Starbucks nor Jack Wills :( ETA: Though I would have thought the space wasn't big enough for either.

Apologies if this is a really stupid question. But have you tried to talk calmly about these issues with her at a time when she is not behaving in this way? Or, have you written out a list of the things which are upsetting you and which you would like to discuss with her, and suggest you meet over a cup of tea to try to resolve them? Of course she might completely ignore your attempts at reconciliation, but you'd hopefully be no worse off, and at least you'd know you had done everything possible to try to sort things out before going through all the hassle of moving out. ETA: And re her garden - hadn't you previously said that she had been discussing the weeds with her boyfriend? So it's not really strange that now she's done something about them? I think it's easy to misinterpret the reasons for people's actions, which is why - if possible - it would be great to sit down calmly with her and talk about things. Who knows what strange/wrong ideas she may have about why you have been behaving as you have been?
