Thanks Keef, that's great, I've PMed you. Edited to remove comments relating to forum policy on second threads and lounging :)

If anybody could help out with putting round posters and/or flyers for the Goose at the weekend, that would be great, particularly if you live outside the immediate East Dulwich area (Peckham, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, Camberwell, Dulwich Village etc etc) or could put up a poster in a college for example. PM me and I'll arrange to get hard copies to you (or I can email them as jpegs if you can print them out cheaply yourself - they're all black and white). But please only offer if you are sure you have the time and inclination - good intentions won't get our flyers round and we'd rather they were sitting at our place than yours. At least we'd know how many we had left :) We might even buy you a thank-you pint on the opening night :) :)-D

I am hoping that tickets for all the gigs will be available this weekend, just got to get the website live so all the publicity can kick off at the same time, you will be able to buy tickets in advance either online or at the edt, watch this space :)-D The Goose Is Nearly Out! :)-D ******* hell, I can't believe we've done all this in a month !!!!!

I've always found Maceys (Macys?) on North Cross Road to be very good, and the pharmacist will tell you if the over-the-counter cost of the prescription is cheaper than the NHS cost, without asking (or maybe I just look very poor :)) )

:)):)):)) How much was the change ?? And did you get it ?? :))

Anyone know what's happened to the Saturday night disco at the Village Inn (ex Page 2 Bar) ?? We went down there once, had a good time, passed the place on Thursday night and there was still a poster outside saying "disco every Saturday" or words to that effect - so we went down there on Saturday and no sign of a disco .... just a virtually empty bar .... The barmaid just said there wasn't a disco (which was blindingly obvious) but the poster was still there .... Surely not EVERYBODY was watching the ******* rugby?? :))

Finalised the poster and flyers for the new folk night at the edt. Then got drunk :)-D:)-D:)-D

How do we know who is who ???? I'll be the one getting very pissed very quickly :)-D Respect to the emoticons Michael P :))

I think the Lost Property Office in Baker Street still deals with stuff lost on buses. You have to fill in a form saying where you lost the item. But I might be wrong, could be just the underground, you could try Googling it. Hope you find them.

Yep, two of my cousins lived on a council estate in Dulwich in the fifties, both got scholarships to Dulwich College, they both did very well and one went on to Cambridge.

Whenever I've called them they've nearly always taken hours to turn up, by which time the noise is over. But maybe they've improved. This was a year or so back when we had terrible trouble with a neighbour across the road who you could hear shouting and playing music even with all the doors and windows closed and our own music on !!! They also only ever seemed to send out a subsequent letter after the few times they arrived in reasonable time, which I assume was because someone uses these letters for monitoring their success rate, so they can say they arrive within x minutes 95% of the time, or whatever, and it looks really good in the annual reports. And when I actually had to hammer on this guy's door at 4 in the morning on Christmas Eve (and he couldn't hear me because he was making so much noise), the Southwark Noise people weren't on duty. Fair enough, I wouldn't want to work on Christmas Eve, but it was a bit ******* annoying as I could hear him even from a bedroom at the back (where I had been forced to retreat earlier in the year as he made so much noise it stopped me sleeping at the front). mikese22 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Peckhamgatecrasher Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Ring up the Southwark Noise team.

Yeh, that must be it :))

Oh God, this has brought back terrible memories of when I saw this very thin cat every day in ED on my way to work, eventually I started asking around and someone in the road told me it had belonged to someone who had moved away and left the cat behind several months before. So - I took it home, bought it cat stuff etc - a few days later, notices appeared down the road that someone had lost a cat matching this cat's description. So - naturally, I immediately went to the address in question and said that I had the cat and of course would bring it back. But the owner spent about twenty minutes accusing me of being a cat thief, and I couldn't get across that if I actually had intended to steal her cat, I would hardly have come to tell her that I had it!! It was all quite disturbing ..... Apparently the story I had been told was true, but this woman had taken the cat in subsequently, and the reason it was so thin was because it was ill. She also accused me of feeding it normal cat food (which of course I had) which would make its illness worse :-$ I will never take in another apparently stray animal again - probably :)) What is about ED that attracts mad people? (I don't exclude myself, of course :)) )

I got that Banksy book a lot cheaper in Fop/Fopp (spelling?) near the Charing Cross Road a week or so back :) ed_pete Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Oh - I don't know.

Anyone who's interested, please send me a personal message giving me your email address, and I'll put you on the e-mailing list. Then you'll be sure not to miss the latest news (the website is in the course of construction but hopefully should be live shortly) However you can be our friend on www.MySpace.com/thegooseisout, also in the course of construction but is at least live !!

Thanks. Hope it doesn't come back now it's discovered a convenient source of food !!

In the meantime, look at our MySpace page on www.myspace.com/thegooseisout ! :)-D

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH feeding the birds has taken on a whole new meaning - a bird of prey sat in my garden last Thursday with its claws on a screaming starling, which it then proceeded to fly off with (grammar). Anyone got any idea what it was likely to be? It was quite big with a speckled underside. Having rushed into the garden clapping my hands, I belatedly realised that was not a great idea in case it ripped my face off :( Luckily it didn't :))

Never realised it would be quite so much work though, it's taking over our lives even though we've had great support from ED ites and other folkies :))

:))Well I once had a parcel delivered when I was out, and a notice put through my door "parcel in dustbin" And it was !!!! Luckily tbe dustbin people hadn't been ........ I also once had a parcel left on my wall which was nicked - it was a book from (sorry) Reader's Digest, and the title was something along the lines of "How to Get Things for Free" :))
