On the whole ED peeps seem happy where they are (at least for now) and should be happy for those who are happy somewhere else. So why is no one sounding happy.

I like the Dulwich Raider's quote on this ( http://deserter.co.uk/2014/09/streetlife-lordship-lane-se22/ ), talking of Lordship Lane: "More recently it has attracted the attention of the anti-gentrification brigade, to which we all belong, of course, until you can?t get wifi, fresh coffee and a pulled pork bap."

The fact that on a mild wet morning, no one on the bus opens the windows.

Agree with that DC. They need to be so much bolder.

I think it could be enhanced with some pink polka dots.

Honestly, trains into London Bridge are now completely random. Forget the timetable, Just make sure that you give yourself plenty of time.

Fair point RPsC - I'm sure no one actually wants to upset anyone and Emmableu's experience of antisocial behaviour does sound horrible. Glad you're liking ED.

...and Nick Cave. Sorry, but massively overrated IMO

I'm going to get shouted at for this, but... Sonic Youth? I liked them as a kid, but listening to them now (with one or two exceptions) their songs just aren't very good. Influential on lot's of others though. Personally, I still like the Pixies. Surfa Rosa and Doolittle are great albums.

Definitely a thimble shop

All I know is that you don't get these kind of disputes happening on the Penge Forum

You seem to view 'the EDF' as a single, homogeneous entity and yourself as outside of it. A lone wolf... a renegade. I like it, it's sexy. On the other hand you could be just one of many disparate contributors, who have different views on different subjects.

Can I say that some of the comments about Dartford are simply OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!! I say this as someone who has never been to Dartford, but will defend TO THE DEATH* it's right to exist unencumbered by SMALL MINDED ED forum MOCKERY!!!! *Not really to the death, maybe just until I got bored.

I missed emmableu's post. To be fair, if he's got Doctor's note then I think he should be excused. "Diagnosis... Penge."

Hmmm... good point.

... although I personally would not want Costa to open up on the lane.

'oh bless' is infuriating.

I meant to say 'multiplex'. Maybe I'm a bot.

I think you're taking it a little too seriously.

boring

It was a bit of a flippant remark, didn't mean to spark off an arguement about chain stores.

Oh christ, you're probably right. Costa would make sense. I really hope not. Wasn't there a (failed) campaign to keep Neros opening up in the area. Maybe it's time to dust off the placards.

Article concerning the new Heygate Park, which I defy anyone not to get angry about: http://35percent.org/blog/2012/07/04/londons-largest-new-private-park-in-70-years/

Yellow fever!
