1) No, a Motorbike. 2) Garage. 3) No. There is a bike park on North Cross Road. May I also take the opportunity to recommend http://www.lock2lock.co.uk/ and also that you join a motorcycle group such as http://www.mag-uk.org/index.html who even allow scooter riders! Safe riding!

Awwww what a sweet story! Who's Sean, where's Whimple? I had Phoenix down on my Will till Dogbolter bolted, then changed it to Clockhouse across the park, my local. It's just got better and better! (My will, as in No Service or religious stuff, just everyone down the pub!) On another note, I had to pop into the Plough some time ago to deliver something, and always thought I would like to drink there one day it seems so nice, but all the stories of it being a creche are REALLY putting me off. I agree that my fave type of pubs are ones you are allowed to drink and swear and not have to worry about over-sensitive mummy and daddy-ears!

1) In the Lake District is a small pub which has about 100 different beers on sale at any time. I think. Trouble is, had to drive there and the B&B was a bike ride away. 2) The Phoenix when it was The Phoenix & Firkin, Denmark Hill, when the Firkin Brewery section was visible and they made DOGBOLTER beer (strongest. And Phoenix (middle) and Rail Ale (mildest). 3) Cheers off the telly.

You're a good person, wallet. What are you? A good person. Well done.

I'm a biker and there's a lovely considerately placed motorbike park on North Cross Road, so I am glad you only talked about banning cars. However, I know people who drive from Sydenham to North Cross Road to get their goodies and stuff on their way to other places, so a bus is not a viable alternative for them, and I don't think EDers or the ED businesses want to deny the money people bring in to the area even if it is via car. All the roads around there are clogged, banning cars along North Cross Road would make it worse for absolutely everyone. I think also there is a one way area or at least a point at which you can't turn right at several junctions somewhere near there, and thus driving down North Cross Road is your only way in or out. Can't remember exactly where I am talking about, now, but I am sure that would make things worse. Welcome by the way to the forum!

Hello and greetings. I have asked and suggested this before that there should be a Welcome section? Admin? Whaddya say? Enjoy the fun!

I just can't believe there is not a M&S Food shop or a White Company shop in East Dulwich. This really is too bad....

That is such a coincidence! Your nick name is Wallet and you have found a ... wallet! ;)

This is an interesting subject. Certainly there is a beautiful irony that if the bike is covered then the wardens can not touch the bike to get the reg number to issue the ticket; whilst also it is illegal to have a vehicle on the road (road? Ha! this was the pavement) without a valid up to date tax disc on display. I think the law was changed recently that means the wardens can lift the cover, and that putting a sock over the number plate is also illegal. They always like ruining the fun. But also, I am of the opinion it is rather selfish to park on the pavement. Pavements are for people. When people wander across the road in front of me I have a scream at them for being so stupid. So reasonably and fairly I should not have my bike on the pavement where such people Should be! So what do we do. Email and lobby the council for more secured motorcycle parking bay in your area (ie a rack at the back so you can attach a chain / D lock to it). They'll ignore you, of course...

Interesting to see who did and did not vote! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7305903.stm

new paragraph HA.

I worked with the bloke that played J R Hartley once. Reading a book, he was. RIP Cap'n!! The Milky Bar kids are on him!

Saw a bloke what used to be in the Bill when it was good, recently in the Clockhouse. Can't remember which one. Most of them probably.

Avoid it because I cross there then and I might jump out and frighten you? Well, okay, I do do that occasionally. But why, seriously? Is it very dangerous? At the Police Ward meeting the other day for the area that covers the park, no mention was made of anything having happened there in the dark. Indeed, most of the crime that was discussed at the meeting happened in broad daylight. No, wait, I think ALL of it did. Walk confidently and don't look like a victim, and be very aware of what is going on around you, not just walking across the common at night but at all times. I walk across the common alone regularly (from the Clockhouse, usually!). Refuse to feel frightened. I think I'm going on a bit now so I will stop....

Who can read this, then? ALl ya hafta do is highlight it all and the colour comes up against the black. But you worked it out already. He he he it's so simple really. Good ol highlighter Eh?

Wossat then?

The man who writes the history books on Peckham, and is the editor of The Peckham Society News (which last year came second in a national magazine award for locally produced magazines), Mr John Beesley, lives near Copleston Road. If he doesn't know, I don't know who will, except for people who know, that is... www.peckhamsociety.org

I'm gonna be sick. I wrote my post last night having been working hard all day and was very tired and had then drunk too many G&Ts. Yeuch. I really should not do that. I really should be locked from the laptop until I am sober enough to remember the password to get in. I wrote that in my diary, too.

Nope. But if I ever make it to a drinks meeting beyond the first five minutes I hope to! I walk down Lordship Lane and wonder who I may not be seeing!

I got a 120ml bottle of something, in my pockets, through Heathrow. Twice. There are a few untruths on my CV.

I suffered from jealousy in my teens and 20s because I was so insecure about my looks, and never understood why someone would want to go out with me, so when they did and then they started talking to more beautiful people I would get jealous thinking that why would they do that if they want to spend time with me. Of course what that behaviour did was push them into the direction of other people, and then when they left me I had proven myself right, ie. set myself up to be failed. All heavy stuff. But somehow I realised my problems without therapy or CBT or anything, I just realised it was stupid. Now I have someone who I am so secure about because HE is so secure, that when I got back from a long trip abroad which I was doing alone, he and my best friend went on holiday together with my blessing because I knew he loved me and that she was my best friend and they are mates. And all was fine. No, seriously. Sort of anti-jealous!

I write a diary every day, and my man and I feel the opposite. If you absolutely do love someone, you don't need to read the diary, because you know them and love them for what they are. Altogether now .....

So, mightyroar, in the topic entitled something like "What did you achieve today" you would just say, went shopping got kid from school went out to dinner hehheh Today typically was out on the motorcycle and I share many problems of road useage with most car drivers. Not a dispatch rider but had a lot of errands to do around town so did them all today. On the drive went around to Russell Square, then down to London Bridge, then back home via Tescos Old Kent Road. Avoided killing about fifteen stupid people who just wondered in the road in front of me usually texting, listening on iPods, or generally not paying attention. Avoided killing about seven stupid cyclists who undertook large vehicles at speed when I was turning right in front of them. Despite the apparent existence of (are you kidding?) an ECOLOGY officer in Southwark Council, wasted about 1 gallon of petrol because of the unnecessary one way systems and the inability to do something simple like turning right at the lights because oncoming traffic keeps coming over its own red light when you make the attempt (see other topics for examples of this at Peckham Rye (SE15 and SE22) junctions with East Dulwich Road). Had to deliver something to the Copleston Road area and then wasted another godknowshowmuch petrol by completely being unable to work out how the hell to get out of that area back to East Dulwich Road because of the one way systems and LACK OF SIGNS TELLING YOU HOW TO DO IT. Really pissed off that such areas like Copleston Road exist where you can not DRIVE OUT OF because a whole bunch of people like to make out they live in an enclosed gated type community. I PAY ROAD TAX I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RIDE AROUND ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE without having to ride miles out of my way when you lot suddenly decide it would be of so luverly if that road was ONE WAY or SHUT or CYCLISTS ONLY or whathaveyou. Despaired at the many faith schools I drove past - shared earlier poster's view who thinks the government should put money into educating our children and not indoctrinating them with unscientific umproven shite based on some drugged up whacky people including the bastard son of a woman living in the outer reaches of the Roman Empire some two thousand years ago the drunken drug fuelled ramblings of whom form the entire bases of POTUS's foreign policy. Realised the same poster thinks motorcyclists can not be moral, or something, and despaired at people who think all bikers are the same just because a few bikers are bad. In my mind then committed all and every single 4x4 driver on the planet, especially short women, to a hell I don't believe in, just for existing and being unable to reach or even find the indicator switch, or even see me in their rear view mirror even if they could reach up that far to look. Wondered why everytime I ride up to some idiot who is crossing the road just yards from traffic lights and chooses not to see me, I grin with enjoyment at the utter fear on the faces when I am so close to them and they STILL have not seen or heard me and I press the horn and they jump out their skin then SMILE AND WAVE as they run like fuck across the road. Rode in a bus lane, legally, because of being there at a particular time of day when it was ok to ride in a bus lane, then had to get out of it a bit further up the road because all of a sudden one is then not allowed to be in that bus lane at any time of day. Despaired at stupidity of it and at Ken for suppressing the evidence that showed that bikers being in bus lanes saves bikers lives but such report was suppressed because the cyclists would not like to hear it and everyone wants to please the cyclists. Nearly rode into a cyclist as I was carefully overtaking a line of traffic, when said cyclist bombed out between cars right in front of me without bothering to check that there might be vehicles or PEOPLE even in the way. Pissed off at my aim and vowed to do better next time. Got up Peckham Rye eventually but realised I was happy for having had a fun motorcycle ride through London which is just such a joy, so rode further for the hell of it wasting petrol, drove past Camberwell Cemetery or whatever that one is on Brenchley Gardens, saw someone crying outside it. Stopped the bike and talked with them about their loss. REALISED I HAVE NOTHING TO BE GRUMPY ABOUT. Came home and realised I had forgotten to get some dollars on my trip out. Went back out. Repeat above.....
