Well I would recommend sweet and sour Pot Noodles, they are the best ones. Anyone tried the newer, spicy varieties? Kappa tracksuits - I get mine from JD Sports but I hear the Walworth Road Market does some good fakes?

Is this thread a wind-up? What next? Recommendations for an Aga, a camper van, designer pushchairs and other middle-class cliches?

James replied to Ladygooner's topic in The Lounge
Whoa, sounds like a party! Harriet Harman in da house. -
Ah, the lovely Alastair Appleton. *Sighs*. What a dish!

What to you think of the Bellenden road area?
James replied to Crepe Suzette's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
It makes me think of bell ends. That's my problem with it. -
Good day and God bless you Forum Users. My grandad, a millionaire oil magnate, just died in a plane crash off the Ivory Coast. Fortunately he has leave me the sum of ?45,000,000 to invest in shop selling expensive baby booties, chandeliers and ?15 sandwiches on Lordship Lane. Don't worry, it may seem like robbery but is all totally legal. Who want to help me?

May I suggest that any yummy mummy wishing to dispose of some of her husband's bonus buying stupid trinkets from these stupid stupid shops should spend it on me instead? Thanks.

Weekend nightime demographics/behaviour in ED (Lounged)
James replied to SeanMacGabhann's topic in The Lounge
Blackheath is a case in point, all prim and twee during the day but Friday & Saturday nights are a beer-soaked chav fest as all the Kent pikeys turn up "cos it's classy." It's becoming the Epping Forest of South East London. I too have noticed the bridge & tunnel set coming into East Dulwich of a night. How do we keep them out? Cattle grids (trapping the stilettos)? -
For anyone agonising over Primary Schools in East D, I wouldn't go on hearsay. Here's a better option: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/education/06/school_tables/primary_schools/html/210.stm You can also access the most recent Ofsted reports from here. They don't tell you the whole story but are much more reliable than gossip from people with axes to grind.

East Dulwich! Forest Hill! Sydenham! Where to live?
James replied to Spangles30's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I think Nunhead is awful! The primary schools are diabolical, the housing stock is scruffy, that bit by the railway bridge is soooo ugly and the ststion just got slated as one of London's worst! Yes, the cemetery is fantastic but you can't hang out there and the fishmongers' all day! Let's be honest, the only reason to live there is cos it's affordable. It's no East Dulwich. -
Although I wonder how many people were maimed falling out of the back of Routemasters while the bus was moving...
-
This person is clearly not a genuine resident of East Dulwich as they use the word "serviette". Napkin, please! Ugh.

Thought I'd put my prejudices aside and have a look in Whie Stuff on Saturday. Oh dear. The men's section looked a bit like Debenham's circa 1995. An assortment of dull stripy tops in shades of grey and brown. There was one decent bag in there - a dark brown satchel-type affair. But it was ?85! So I won't be wasting my time going in there again. So what is the consensus on the women's stuff? It looks a bit better to me...

When is this cafe opening then?

A few weeks ago I was on the 63 and the driver stopped to use a cash machine. My boyfriend was on one & the driver stopped to get fish & chips! So it seems the 63 is a law unto itself.

Apologies Ant. I didn't want to suffer alone! Jah, in this case, ignorance is bliss.

Great ED Estate Agent Misleading Quotes
James replied to nutty's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
A friend (not from round here) recently bought a house which he informed me was "just opposite the Rye Bar & Grill, in East Dulwich." The postcode is SE15. Go figure... -
Basically he sounds like a lame Jamie T tribute act. He is like a male Kate Nash. Yes, that bad.

Anyone sick of mind-numbingly dull skiffle/calypso rap about the mundanities of working-class life performed by fake posho stage-school brats like Penate yet? HIS MUSIC SUCKS so much, it's driving me mad.

Until the Sea Cow does a veggie option I won't be going I'm afraid.

For what they are charging it had better be good! Sadly I will be sticking with Fitness First near where I work as I do not enjoy a stockbroker's salary.

When I used to work in Boots we would make announcements like "Would Mike Hunt please return to the pharmacy." Which amused us a lot (well, I was 16).

Ha ha! Good riddance, I hope they go bust here too

I have some great recipes if you're interested Alan;-)
