The Begging Bowl?s Kickstarter Campaign

There have always been some miserable, negative dickwads here but they're out in force on this thread. -
East Dulwich Station Mural is being painted
edcam replied to eastDAG's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
That looks great! -
Highly amused that Theresa May thinks the EU maintaining its integrity is "disrespect". Just hurry up and stop this farce.

I did have a suspicion that this whole story was scaremongering. Urban foxes are pretty bold creatures, so this makes sense.

direct trains north of Blackfriars from Denmark Hill
edcam replied to carole@woddis.com's topic in The Lounge
Yes, it's Govia. their greed knows no bounds. The exorbitant cost of the Denmark Hill "modernisation", which represents some of the poorest value for money I've ever seen is symbolic of what they think of their customers. That combined with Network Rail's incompetence are the reasons for this mess. The Mayor wants TFL to take over these suburban routes. Whether they'd be any better at it remains to be seen but they couldn't really be worse. And TFL's response to the proposed reopening of Camberwell Station is disappointing to say the least. -

There are justified reasons to grumble about TFL but this is nothing to do with them. carole@woddis.com Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It's called an improvement.

Update on Camberwell Grove bridge consultation
edcam replied to macutd's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The closure of CG caused unbearable strain on surrounding roads. Reopening it isn't going to create more traffic. nunhead_man Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > concerning the post that says > > "Paul Lupton Wrote: The sooner vehicles can use > the bridge again the better - Bellenden is overrun > with traffic " > > Say after me 100 times > > "Roads create traffic" > > e.g > https://bettertransport.org.uk/roads-nowhere/induc > ed-traffic -
But it's not a sop if we're not getting it. Our transport gets worse and worse as they build more and more flats.

Early morning doorstep beggar
edcam replied to debfrancis2001@yahoo.co.uk's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I was take in by a similar scam years ago. These ones are often successful because the scammers appear entirely credible. Discussion of how to get to King's is sadly irrelevant here. -
Update on Camberwell Grove bridge consultation
edcam replied to macutd's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
So thrilled that it's reopened! They've done a good job, looks much better. Life can return to normal now. -
I had the same experience when I was an outpatient in that dept. Frequent last minute cancellations and rescheduling months afterwards. They're clearly very understaffed.

There were all sorts of offensive terms deemed acceptable years ago.

Get a new lodger who is willing to be your unpaid slave.

I have no time for Gammon apologists. I?m more concerned with the rise of the far right (of which Gammons are an unedifying symptom), racism, antisemitism, Labour?s lack of opposition and the looming disaster of Brexit. Gammons can sod off and pleasure themselves with the Daily Mail.
-
Easy. Johnson's comments are unacceptable, particularly in light of his well-documented racist past, his sure knowledge that this would provoke and embolden the less savoury elements of the far right and this cynical push to set himself up as the next PM in this current unpleasant atmosphere. Not to mention the evident racist and misogynist undertones of his comments. It also presents a danger to women who do wear the garment. White men who get angry about anything that doesn't support Brexit doesn't compare. The people that qualify as Gammons will be offended by anything that wasn't white, straight and from before 1950. They have no idea what it's like to experience racism.

Norwood Road Vets are great, especially for cats. The London Animal Hospital is superb. That's where we take our dog.

Please stop calling them Boris bikes. I'd rather not be reminded of that dangerous oaf.

Moral is, don't stop in bus lanes. They're there for a reason.

Tonight's game Croatia VS England What do you think of it
edcam replied to natty01295's topic in The Lounge
No self-loathing here, just loathing of the behaviour of some "nationalists" and how emboldened they are becoming due to the status quo. If you haven't observed this it's slightly frightening. See the behaviour of those who invaded the Ikea after the Sweden match and those who vandalised an ambulance.)

edcam replied to natty01295's topic in The Lounge
I have zero interest in football but England have done well by the sound of things. However I?m pretty relieved that rampant and misplaced nationalism won?t be unleashed by greater success. Because that undoubtedly would have happened. I feel a bit sad about the fact that this is where we are but at the moment we can?t have anything nice because we don?t know how to look after it. Depressing World Cup analysis over. -
This could be one of the all time great threads if we handle it properly.

I?ll post my opinion when and where I want to Dulwich Fox. This is too important an issue not to note it. It?s an unwise move to try and silence people.

Russia can go and f*** itself. The current situation regarding LGBTQ rights there means that no civilised country should be legitimising the regime by attending.
