The explanation is probably as you say. Anyway, enough of that, it's off topic, but I still find it odd that she should find it necessary to use this thread to have a go at people providing enjoyment for others. I hate bland pop music, but I don't try to stop a pub playing it :)) If anybody else enjoys singing, and listening to other people singing, our very well attended free monthly Singaround is now Upstairs At The Mag - second Sunday of the month. More info here! ETA: SORRY admin, you posted as I was writing the above, please delete it if you want.

If she has actually posted 37 times, she must have deleted the other 35 - or admin has.

The old CPT was a very suitable place to hold our Singaround (which does not just consist of folk songs, by the way, and even if it did it seems that some people have a rather strange idea of folk music) as both the then owner and then manager agreed when we suggested holding one there. The new bar is obviously completely unsuitable.

There is a quite realistic plastic duckling on the pond at Peckham Rye :))

TracyLlew Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > please no more so called folk singing on sundays > please please, :)) xxxxxx Your first post on the forum, to say that? Or you didn't want to post it under your usual forum name? How sad.

Soon everybody in East Dulwich will be following everybody else, and then our brains will all implode from information overload :))

You might get more response to this if you put it in the family section of the forum?

Didn't notice those :)) I'm pleased they've painted those hideous concrete planters outside though, they look very much better than before. Not convinced about the choice of plants though (sorry, Adam ....) and I guess they probably won't be replacing those. They do screen the tables off from the road quite well, however - but I like to look out and see who is passing by! Which you can do at the Actress, because their plants are lower growing (and generally more attractive ....)

Edited because the CPR street party plans changed after I posted.

Have hauled spawn to top of tub where it is now resting on weeds just below the surface - let's hope the weather does not get even colder and it freezes :-S

Oh dear, OK I'll go and have a fish around in the tub!

I poured frogspawn (thanks lousmith) into my tub from a jar and it sank. I was expecting it to float back to the surface, but it hasn't and I can't see it in the tub (the tub is black so a bit hard to see things in it). Is it OK for it not to be at or near the surface? Do I need to put my hand in, locate it and pull it up? :-$

Next thing it'll be DIY trepanning :)) I once read an article on somebody who did that. With a dentist's drill I think. They said it was very important to get the measurements correct so as not to drill into the brain. :)) ETA: It was some New Agey trend, I think there was a theory that it was a fast way to enlightenment (fast way to death probably, so maybe they were right :)) )

Let's hope not.

Interesting article! Don't think I'll go in for the pulping thing though :) And somebody reminded me the other night of one of our gigs (rammed) where the headliner (very famous - well, in the folk world anyway :))) stood at the back with a group of friends and talked through both the support acts. Given who he was, I didn't feel I could say anything. The person who reminded me of it said he thought I should have done, no matter who it was. In retrospect I think I probably should have done - so belated apologies to the audience .....

Oh dear, I saw a dead bee today, too.

But what I can't understand is, they surely must have known what kind of gig they were coming to. You don't just stick a pin in a list of London gigs on WeGotTickets and shell out your money at random? Edited for typo

Only just seen this thread. The group of tossers concerned actually came from Bournemouth to have a "night out". I know this because they told one of the people they quarrelled with in the car park where they were from (who then told me), and they told the bar manager they were on a night out. Why they decided to come to a folk night in East Dulwich for their "night out" and then proceed to talk through it, who knows. Maybe they didn't like Dave Swarbrick, so why bloody buy tickets? It wasn't a sudden decision to come - they had bought advance tickets online. I know this because we know the postcodes of purchasers, and some of them were indeed from the Bournemouth area. One of them (female) followed me into the ladies where she proceeded to insult me whilst I was otherwise engaged in the adjoining cubicle. Basically I/we took the view that the talking was less disruptive than attempting to eject them would be. Their response to being told that they were spoiling other people's enjoyment of the music was "Well they're spoiling mine by wanting me to be quiet" and "You don't expect us to not talk all evening do you?" - er, yes, we expect you to keep quiet like everybody else you see around you is doing, except during the interval and between songs ..... We already have notices around the place asking people to respect the artists and not talk during the live music. I am now going to get a very large A3 poster printed basically saying, if you can't STFU then you will be asked to leave. Does anybody know if it is legal to kick people out of a gig if they are disturbing other people and don't respond to being asked to be quiet? We've very occasionally had similar problems in the past, but never to such an extent. Usually the only trouble is the odd person trying to blag their way in without a ticket.

What happens to the spawn if the water freezes over?? Do the taddies survive?

East Dulwich was namechecked in the Guardian Money supplement on Saturday as one of the places in London where property prices are rocketing.

I'd love some if you could spare some at some point? Unless by some miracle some of my froglets have grown up and return to the tub :) The person who gave me spawn last year has seemingly done a runner (along with my housekeys (6) )

Don't think anaglypta is the same as woodchip, is it? It's just embossed wallpaper. Very popular in the seventies :)) A pain to paint.
