    Northeners...

    2/10 Quids. And a rehash of several threads you've done before.
  2. And...snapped the other day for Dulwich Fox and Jah... this is what a pint costs in Dalkeith....

  4. You're all missing the point. It's not black it's "railings" by Farrow & Ball with a high chalk pigment content.

    Luggae

    For more long haul stuff, German brand Rimowa is near indestructible.

    Luggae

    Travelpro stuff is all good esp for frequent fliers. Lightweight, perfect sizes and well made.
  7. I can hear the new Coldplay album on in the background. Hope Jeremy was doing the food? Did I tell you I'm allergic to cauliflower?
  8. Once at School I said " bit of a damp squid" and that was it....
  9. Sorry Loz. But I'm with quids and bobster on this one. Agents airing personal grudges in public. You shouldn't be too surprised.
  10. Hmm can't see that agencies (link above) senior team posting this though - they're way too smart for that. Could be a junior type ex KFH employee with a grudge. If so I wouldn't be too happy if I was the boss over at Winkworth towers. People in business properly know you should never knock the competition.
  11. Skehans Irish pub in Nunhead / Telegraph Hill is pretty decent.
  12. Lots on twitter....certain content is blocked and skeleton frames being used elsewhere.....
  13. One of the worlds greatest news networks and most visited sites...has been down for 12 hours plus. It's either really bad infrastructure planning / maintenance or something that crank conspiracy theorists can get stuck into....Russian cyber attack anyone? Edit - back up now that MI6 sorted the firewalls out......
  14. A few tines I've been one of those late 30 something stragglers in there after a big night. But then you sober up slightly and realise your dancing on a table surrounded by 17 year olds. The place was aimed at 18-24 demographic. Ask them and they liked it. No surprise the rest of you didn't.
  15. Good thread. Your first pic - what's that plant in the background with the biggish tear drop shaped green leaves? Reason I ask is that I have exactly same problem but with that one. It's potted and I put copper strips around the pot rim, organic slug pellets in the soli, no sign of snails or caterpillars. And its getting munched every night.
  16. The missus will kill be if it pissed bricks.
  17. So what happened last night and since? Reason I ask is that I flew out City at 8.30pm. After a day fitting fancy seagrass. And I think I left the loft windows open.
  18. You also have some standard exceptions anyway such as commercial deals, right to buy, divorces transfers, gift etc which are not normally listed on public register.
  19. Well....as a quick glance on the property thread here will confirm, in the following circumstances: - When you've bought a place on the cheap from someone gullible/desperate who didn't understand their property's true value and you plan to flip it in 4 months for a ?100k profit. You don't want to build resentfulness amongst potential buyers or draw attention to the taxman by exposing your quick easily gained profit. You also don't want the world to see you for the money grabbing down rotten filthy parasitic shark you are. - You have sold your house to a family member for way less than market value to avoid stamp, IHT or to effectively transfer capital assets. It will stick out like a sore thumb on the registry and draw attention. For both of the above I'm glad it has to be declared. If yours isn't, the chances are it has been lost in the public sector void where these things go sometimes and just down to sloppy/lazy admin.

    Pop ups....

    Not past tense. Present. Jeremy knows what Im talking about.The first wave of "new Peckham" has already started to take over the odd lease on Rye Lane. As Woodrot once said so brilliantly.... "They have arrived".
  21. Could have been Bastille day. East Dulwich has become French after all....
  22. Yes. I heard this....and before you all get too alarmed....I was convinced it was a single gunshot as it had a "repeat" to it. Definitely was not a firework. Could possibly have been a small engine exploding.... I almost reported it but then felt daft as figured there would be someone a lot closer who would do just that.
  23. Numbers: If you don't get soft closing toilet seats. Then you can only be female.
  24. MrBen

    Pop ups....

    You did predict that Rye Lane wouldn't gentrify any time soon though Jeremy.... Thats the last time I follow any one of your predictions. :-)

    Pop ups....

    If it brings fresh new offerings,greater local choice and helps micro start ups get cheap space and some exposure without the usual tie ins..I'm all for it. But from a trend perspective I'm a bit over people trumpeting "pop up!!" like it's wildly new when it's already old hat. Instead I'd just like it to quietly become the norm.
