PeckhamRose

A suggestion. When he's a bit happier and settled and you take him for a walk, take him to some parks and see if anyone recognises him and ask them if they knew his owner, or see if he 'leads' you to his old home from the park, probably Peckham Rye Park. Also see if there are any posters on the trees looking for him. I'm a bit housebound at the mo so can't check for you but it may be an idea.

I love it. View from our window means we can now ID exactly where E&C is. We can see Wembley Arch and I think we can see the stub that is the beginnings of Shard. But I love the Strata. And there is a sort of little mini stub Strata next to it which looks weird.

Is that you saying I'm fat? Like I NEED to lose weight?

Ahh interesting - I never go to the family room so did not know this. A whole family getting it yeuch. But the NHS advises to stay at home for two days after you're better as you may still be infectious in that time.

Crap is right.

A whole load? Did you mean "two"?

Yep, I'm one. Never wanted kids. And four of my closest female friends never wanted kids either. Nor did we have them. Like attracts like, though. So please don't tar us all with the same brush. I know many men however who do want kids and not just the sex, and I ended relationships with past b/f because they wanted me to do the breeding thing. As for the topic, if the humans that exist were doing good in the world and all taking responsibility for their actions then there may not be such a massive problem. Eugenics, an answer that dare not speak its name!? By mentioning that link I am not saying I agree with its contents.

Very sweet of you raymond! I am on the mend. I posted this to see if there is any particular ED or Peckham outbreak, so felt it was ED specific at least, but off to the lounge it went.

Hi Been out of whack for 2 days with the dreaded Norovirus. It's a pig of a virus, but helps prove the statistic that humans are 90% water. I am now down to about 35%. So, who else has had it? Is it particularly prevalent in East Dulwich / Peckham at the moment? Apparently there is a lot of it going around but everyone always says that! No idea where I got it from - but it is easy to catch even by just touching an infected surface. Fortunately MrPR has guts of steel and he's been able to look after me. Aghhhh - quick off to the toi...

Well for this woman it is the day the first hot flush hits. Dammit. Still lookin' fabulous though.

But we don't like Brazilians, do we *Bob*.

There are plenty of city hives. One on a tower block in Brixton! They don't have to be big at all.

I went on the Walworth Garden Bee Keeping Course as mentioned above, last year. It was wonderful! And free! Do google it and see if you can go along. City Bee Keepers are being actively encouraged as the city bees are doing better than their country cousins. I live in a 3rd floor flat with too small a back balcony and I don't think my neighbours would approve if I kept bees, but if you applied for a Cleaner Greener Safer award you might be able to set up somewhere and make a professional go of it. I wish you well!

It won't go away! As long as stupid and dangerous drivers and people who take no responsibility for themselves exist, resulting in all of us being targetted, it simply won't go away. Why, what do you want to see happen?

Hetero man working in the theatre? Just kidding, but even so!

MAURICE by E M Forster above the Stag at Victoria. Absolutely beautiful, finishes Saturday I think.

Poor acquanga. You mean lot. The only mention of money is what the allowance is. And you're not all jumping?

Could EDF charter a plane and all go to the housewarming party? Been to many states in the US but not New Hampshire. ;) You'll be back here, you need us. Best wishes.

What everyone else has said. And it's a wonderful posting. That's what this forum does best, makes us think as well. Now, here's my tuppence worth. It's not about you. It's about her. She has made up her mind. She may not have been around for so long or as happy about being so, had you not visited and befriended her. She may not even want your acceptance or care for it. But you may never forgive yourself if you don't say goodbye to her and smile, thanking her for everything she has given you over the years. Of course you'll cry and she may not react in the way you want or need her to. That's her! But do go say goodbye and let her know what she meant to you. Buy her something sweet or special she loves to eat, to take with her maybe.

I am enjoying this thread but wish you'd all credit the lyricists!

" , Hope you got the letter and I pray you can make it better down here.... and all the people that you made in your image, see them dying on their feet, coz they can't get enough to eat from God." XTC. and all lyrics ever written by 10CC ever, except Dreadlock Holiday! ruffers I LOVE your contribution !! It is said degrees divide a circle's square Pencil out each portion let a ruler keep it fair Dedicate all history to this abstract here Throw away the circle trade the circle for a sphere (fIREHOSE) As you can see, I like philosophical ones. But I also love

I am really stuck. Politically I am way left of this New Labour. Mind you, Ted Heath was left of this New Labour! They have certainly had 13 years. But Cameron is a danger. He will cut benefits to people who really need them and would not dare hit the rich. The long term sickness benefit issue is one such issue he will dive in to. I am not saying it is perfect now. The reactions of the people who choose to comment on the BBC website is neither here nor there; they are as broad a bunch of commentators representing the whole of our society as - well as we are here on East Dulwich Forum. I know I do not want to vote for the Greens (who are so unrealistic), the LibDems (for what they do in Southwark) or the Tories, but neither for the first time do I want to vote for this Labour party. And I do want to vote; I will vote. But for whom!?

Keef that's a wonderful and useful posting. Even biting/picking nails is a form of self harm. The psychology of it all is relatively easy to understand, but trying to break the habit is not. CBT does have its place for some, the 'right' form of relationship works for others, and somehow finding it within yourself over time to be stronger and emotionally self sufficient is another. I have self harmed and sometimes still do, and the power thing explanation makes sense for me. "Secretary" anyone? This is a brilliantly intelligent film about finding the right sort of relationship for the right people (with or without the connecting problems). (All most people may remember is that it was about Dominant / submissive relationships but in fact it was much more intelligent than that and I could talk anyone through any and every single scene and character motivation in that film!) She self harmed, He felt guilty about wanting to Dominate, and ALL she needed was someone strong to say "You will never do that again".

Did she fold back well into the box she arrived in?

I met MrPR through Time Out Lonely Hearts twenty and a half years ago, but it was so much simpler then....! It was me that placed the advert. I am sure she shall meet some lovely people.
