Hi everyone Due to a change in circumstances I have just moved out of London, and more precisely: East Dulwich. I thought I'd write a few words... I moved to the area 6 years ago. I had a box room in a house on Bellenden Road and saw it change massively. I then moved to Copleston Road and then onto Champion Grove. Throughout this time I have always considered ED and lordship lane our home. I thoroughly enjoyed living in the area and it has so much going for it and hope to make a visit from time to time Things I loved: William Rose butchers Playing 7 a side football at Dulwich Hamlet Review bookshop Blue mountain cafe VietVan on NCR Franklins Blackbird bakery Running around Ruskin park and to North Dulwich and back Dulwich park and the picture gallery 10 mins to London Bridge on train The East Dulwich Forum - especially the thread about mysterious bottles of orange liquid! Fireworks at Brockwell Park (before it got busy!)

Hi all I pass through E&C train station on Sunday mornings and as you walk from the station to the shopping centre there is a buzz of voices from a nightclub (?) at 10am in the morning. Just intrigued what the club is? Are revellers pulling an all nighter and all morning-er?

I think it matters. I use this walk-way all the time and now is inaccessible. I'd like to know what happened. Maybe it was an accident, or maybe it was joyriders - I don't know. I feel for the car wash guys who use the container to store their equipment in.

Hello I was walking home from sainsburys on Monday evening at about 8pm and exit via the small pedestrian walkway which leads on to dog kennel hill. Before I got there a staff member said the exit was closed due to and accident and from what I could see the trolley shelter had been crashed into and the roof was hanging down. There was no sign of a car which had crashed into it. Not sure if it is related but there were two very flashy cars nearby (a Bentley and a white sports car) but neither had dents or scratches on them. This entrance/exit is still closed. Anyone know what happened?

Venice, definitely. We flew from London city airport which was ace. Venice is scalable and no doubt you'll get lost at some point but that's part of the fun. We went last year in March and the weather was decent and the city was quiet too. Maybe check it has recovered from the flooding!

Moderator: maybe merge this with related one? I didn't see it..

Thanks EDAus and ratty - very helpful. I had a feeling they existed - maybe we should have a section on the forum where we list local charities or let them advertise? Not sure what the rules are but would be great to give them more exposure

Hi there Does anyone know of any homeless charities or initiatives in the local area. We would like to donate some clothes, food and money to people who need it. Thanks

Ok, ok I see it could be a safety issue about standing up early but I suppose I am just bitter because I am always the chump standing up! Another annoying this is: people who walk and read at the same time. Either walk OR read. Not both.

Thanks for the update

I mainly use Google Drive - so as long as I can view the photos I take on my android phone through an app on the ipad, that would be swell

Dropbox is a good option - not as seamless as the apple to apple system but I've seen it work. Anyone got experience using this?

Hi there I am looking to replace my iphone with a android phone but I also have an ipad which I like to use. One of the main things I use my phone for is to take photos but by breaking up the whole apple ecosystem i fear it will become more difficult for phone photos to sync with the ipad. Can anyone suggest apps or tricks that might help me sync between devices? Cheers

I had one. Of these on my intercom system. I first noticed it a few months ago but didn't get round to investigating it, although I was suspicious. Then, yesterday, the Evening Standard had an article about this very subject. This prompted me to call 101. I've reported it but there's no exactly a great deal they can do. Useful information I suppose.

You're on a packed train and standing up.... The train pulls into the next station, the train stops and a person sitting down gets up and makes a big fuss about getting off. Should have got ready to get off earlier. I almost want to remain in their way so they can't get off!

Strafer Jack - AKGs have a 2 year warranty so if you're within this - get your money back if you want. Seems ridiculous you can't get replacement leads! I think the quality of the AKGs I had were the best I've listened to - even better than expensive alternatives. I'm not even bothering with in ear - never going back!

Problem with the AKGs is that there are no official replacement outlets. All that was wrong with my original AKGs was that a lead wasn't working. I would have been more than happy to receive a replacement but the only option was leads on eBay from China. Of course, I'd love a pair of Bose but don't think I can justify the price, but good to know you can buy spare parts. Are there any affordable Bose headphones? I also tried a pair of Bose AE2i but didn't think much of them...

I prefer on-ear rather than in ear - the comforting pressure that El Pibe mentions is an nice

Hi Jeremy I tried some akg490 headphones yesterday and looked the part (charge using USB and fully foldable) but was immensely dissapointed when i tried the noise cancelling button, there was a horrible tinny crackle which ruined the whole experience. I am swaying towards the akg k451s as mentioned but worried they won't do the job on flights or noisy trains. My previous pair handled it well and sometimes I used the NC button but not always.

Isolation are definitely a possibility. As long as they block out most noise... the AKGs I had were pretty good - it's just the lead was a bit dodgy and wanted to get a refund before the warranty expired.. I'd probably get the same again but can't..

I've just had to return my noise cancelling headphones after one of the leads became faulty. They were AKGs and I thought they were a brilliant pair of headphones. I had them for just under 2 years but managed to get my money back just before the warranty expired! Unfortunately, the model I had has been discontinued, so I'm looking for alternatives. What does everyone else use? I tried some in RicherSounds yesterday and was impressed with the AKG k451 which is only ?50 but sounded a lot better than other expensive alternatives. The only issue with these are they are not noise cancelling and might not be suitable for flights or noisy trains. Does anyone have any recommendations for the ?50-150 bracket?

Too many people this year...

Hi OD - thanks for removing some of the mystery. I have seen people speaking on their phones in City Thameslink station which I've always found odd. Can you listen to the radio with no signal? What app do you use? I'd love to get 6 music in the mornings. I mainly use the time between blackfriars and st pancras reading all the tweets from my feed in the last few hours, which is useful for my work. E-dealer - I know exactly what you mean ;-)
