Someone suggested we revive this game. That someone was a little bit too good at it... You know who you are. So here we go. Antipodean outcast character from book and award winning film. DulwichFox

Went there yesterday morning at 08.00.. 15 people in front of me.. Out my 08.20 with my 10.30 appointment. No probs.. DulwichFox

Hi Michael.. Just to let you know Aquarius Moon might be coming along on Thursday... Looks like we have a good turnout.. See you there... Foxy..

At the time of the flood it was estimated that it would take a year before it would re-open. Have been passed a few times but have not seen much signs of work in progress. Someone more local might be able to add more details. Seriously hope it will reopen. It is a fabulous building. DulwichFox

Foxy February has come to an end but you can still get involved.. Foxy Facts 1. Fox cubs are born blind and deaf with short black fur. They do not leave the den for several weeks and are dependent on their mother's body for warmth and their father to provide food for the family. 2. Want to know if a fox has been in your garden? Fox paw prints look similar to that of a small dog but are easy to distinguish. On a fox print, you can draw an X through the middle without crossing any of the the pads. You cannot do this with a dog print. 3. Foxes are good neighbours. By marking their territory boundaries, they learn the smells of their nearest neighbours. When two neighbours meet, the encounters are usually peaceful. When strangers meet, the encounters can be much more aggressive. 4. Killing foxes does not control fox numbers. A dead animal leaves an empty territory that is filled by a new fox within 2-3 days. Fox numbers are controlled by food and territory availability. 5. City foxes prefer the suburbs. The medium to large gardens provide the array of food and den sites, including hedges, scrub, compost heaps and sheds, that they need. 6. Foxes have played a major role in human culture and folklore in all countries they inhabit. They have featured in many important pieces of literature including the bible, Aesop's fables and Canterbury Tales. 7. Although adult foxes have few natural predators, cubs can be killed by badgers and domestic dogs. 8. Foxes are farmers' friends. By feeding on rabbits, the staple diet of rural foxes, they save British crop farmers around ?7 million every year. In its lifetime, one fox is worth up to ?900 in extra revenue to farmers. 9. Captive foxes can live for up to 14 years, similar to domestic dogs. However, wild foxes rarely live more than a few years. The biggest cause of death is being hit by a car. 10. Shoes, golf balls, gloves, puppets and footballs are just some of the play items found near fox dens. Fox cubs also spend many hours play-fighting, chasing each other and playing tug-of-war with food or objects. 11. Foxes are members of the canidae family, the same family as wolves and domestic dogs. 12. Foxes don't waste food. If they find or kill more than they can eat at one sitting, they bury (cache) the food to eat later. 13. Foxes sleep and breed in holes called earths. Sometimes they dig the hole themselves, but they also use old badger setts, hollow trees and spaces under garden sheds. 14. Fox predation does not have a major impact on sheep farms. All predators combined (foxes being only one of many) and misadventures (accidents) account for just 5% of all lamb losses per year in Britain. 15. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the most widely distributed wild carnivore. It naturally occurs across North America, Eurasia and Japan, even as far north as the Arctic Circle. 16. Foxes help forests grow. By feeding on field voles and rabbits, the species that do the most damage in young plantations, foxes help reduce economic losses to forestry. 17. A female fox is called a vixen, a male is called a dog. 18. A fox can run at speeds up to 30 miles an hour. 19. Foxes are far too small to tip over a dustbin full of rubbish. To scavenge from bins they jump on top and knock the lid off. This is easily prevented by using bins with locking lids or securing the lid with a bungee cord. 20. The silver fox and cross fox are just colour variations of the red fox, not separate species. 21. Foxes have strong family ties. Young foxes often stay with their parents for a few years and help raise future cubs. 22. In Britain, the average fox is only slightly bigger than a pet cat. 23. Foxes are highly adaptable. living in habitats as diverse as tundra, forests, deserts, wetlands and cities, and eating a huge variety of food types. 24. Foxes are often easy scapegoats. According to Defra, 95% of lamb losses are due to poor farming practices , with confirmed losses to foxes less than 1%. 25. The dominant male and female fox form a pair that often lasts for life. Although they hunt and feed separately, they regularly meet to groom each other and play. 26. Foxes mate in mid-winter and females give birth between March-May. The 4-5 cubs are born deaf and blind, relying on their mother for warmth and their father for food. Cubs leave their parents in early autumn and search for their own territory. 27. Foxes use 28 different types of calls to communicate with each other. They also use facial expressions and body postures similar to domestic dogs, like wagging their tail when they greet family members. 28. Their hearing and sense of smell are much better than ours. They can hear a watch ticking 120 feet (36 metres) away and smell food that has been sealed in a bag or buried underground.

Endless no left turns, no right turns, no entries, mindless one- way systems. Drivers are driving around Lost.. Classic example:- Oakhurst Grove used to run into East Dulwich Road. Last 50 metres cut off. Now it's a right into Kelmore rd, left into the Gardens, left onto Peckham Rye (heavy traffic) then Left again onto East Dulwich Rd. and then 2 more sets of lights to get back to the end of Oakhurst. .. whilst the 'Experts' sit at their computer screens engaged in some kind of Giant Sim City game. and getting paid for it.. and all of them and local councillors sitting around sipping tea and patting themselves on the back thinking what a great job they are doing. This is not traffic easing. DulwicFox.

Hence they will ask you if you can spare a few mins and answer a simple question (market research) Then come the sales pitch. Really annoying. Foxy

Some time back in the 70's at The Lee Centre.. (affiliated to Goldsmiths College) there was a Young Conservatives Meeting.. One of the Young toffs on being accused of being 'Working Class' replied.. "I'm not Working Class. I'm unemployed." Something to remember. DulwichFox

Best way to deal with any Manager is to ... 1. Ignore what they tell you. 2. Do things your way. 3. Tell them you did it their way and it worked a treat. They will never bother you again. DulwichFox

The problem is the 3 abreast 'Cushions'. The outside ones are covered by parked cars. The middle on allows vehicles to fly down the centre of the road at full speed. So total waste of money.. Systems being designed by bureaucrats and not by engineers. DulwichFox

Possibly a problem with IOS 7.0.3 if you have recently upgraded.. Seems a common problem DulwichFox. PS. Might affect different songs. ie. Louder songs might be subjected to attenuation whilst quieter songs not be affected thus maintaining a constant volume level.

Hi KK.. 1. When is the best time of year to lay turf? You can lay turf all year round, however it is best to avoid laying turf in frosty conditions. During extended periods of hot and dry weather additional care and attention will be required. http://www.rolawndirect.co.uk/ask_the_expert-1.html Might be a good idea to wait a while.. Could still get a late frost or even snow. DulwichFox

Think it may only apply to those people that were never a child themselves. Scooters and footballs. ??? and all you are doing is just trying to get home. How frightfully annoying. DulwichFox

Activities for children ? Doughnut eating Competitions... Fill their little faces... Foxy :)

The Bakerloo line trains are relatively empty when they arrive at Elephant and Castle. Don't think it would ever be cost effective. Having said that, it would ease the bus congestion. Can be a nightmare despite the numerous routes to Camberwell, East Dulwich & Peckham. DulwichFox

Mine is the same.. But it was my error... Although my circumstances have not changed the last time I filled out the obligatory for, the one you have to reply to from time to time(I do mine on line)I forgot to tick the OPT OUT Box. I could just send back this form but not really that bothered.. DulwichFox.
