  1. edited to remove some of the needlessly personal abuse a reminder on the terms of use: "The management reserves the right to act as they see appropriate in order to deal with these and other situations and this includes the fact that (highlighted for emphasis) The management reserves the right to refuse entry. " Does any of that say "if I don't like someone we are all going to hold a democratic vote?" no it doesn't. It basically says if you are a pain in the ass you're outta here. maybe your deleted login shows a sweeter side * has a look for "overseas" * are you pitoupreloved? If so you made multiple multiple postings about same thing, all the while taking care to mention your business Bon Voyage...
  2. " Whilst I'm in favour of bus lanes, I've always wondered what purpose the one on Lordship Lane serves (not being a nimby). I've never seen 2 lanes of traffic on LL during the hours when it's in operation, except right at the end before Goose Green roundabout. I've always suspected it's there for raising revenue from parking tickets. " I have been on the 40 bus many a time when the bus lane wasn't in operation and it makes a huge difference to journey times - so I'm pretty sure it's to aid flow of public transport rather than raising revenue
  3. Good post Andy I don?t think it?s particular to this forum, I suspect it happens in any local forum (not to mention global sites like TripAdvisor) I have heard this threat from people a couple of times now but I would counter it with ?please do, and I will make sure I reply to it on the forum as well? Over the years, many business owners have engaged on here with some grudge holders and it?s pretty obvious straight away who is in the right. So my advice is.. don?t see it as a downside, see it as a way of engaging with existing and potential customers
  4. some interesting maps to have different views of the world http://twistedsifter.com/2013/08/maps-that-will-help-you-make-sense-of-the-world/
  5. what was the name of a magazine for Dulwich-Peckham area launched a year or two back? The Reliant? That didn't last much more than a couple of issues, partly because of the reasons Mr Ben gives but more crucially... just not enough happens around here to warrant such a magazine. Plenty of good and interesting things do happen (Bussey building and the concerts in Peckham being good examples) ... but just. Not. Enough ah - here's the thread http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,829713,831004#msg-831004
  6. well, ever time there is a gas leak probably http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1166126
  7. we lose qualifier, i don't think we even make Europa league I might be wrong but that was my understanding
  8. I might have overstated it slightly but largely tru from what I understand is it a good thing? maybe not. But it's how Man Utd and to a lesser extent Arsenal dominated much of last 16 years until the BIG money came in . There are pros and cons. But for sure I think he does need someone strong enough to push back a bit
  9. Yup. Top to bottom at arsenal, he calls the shots
  10. This Arsenal fan isn?t ?hoping for a crash? for any reason ? just observing The world?s financial crisis was also dismissed before it happened, (and even those who predicted something didn?t grasp how bad it was) Would I rather compete and win trophies? Yep. At any cost? Nope If that means falling behind Chelsea et al then so be it. But I would keep Wenger in charge to manage the club well. As soon as he goes, our drift behind will accelerate massively Not qualifying for CL this season a disaster? It won?t help us attract players for sure, but it will think out our fixture list and allow a bit more focus. I?m not hoping that happens either but I?m a bit fed up of the binary All or Nothing thinking around football It is just a sport. Played by millionaires with no connection to the clubs. Excessive emotional attachment to such an institution comes from a different era...
  11. I think he is the target Otta, but I also think it?s right that he should be. He is the one who calls the shots about money and investment. If AFC dither about a price, it?s because he is the one who thinks it?s too much money Where I disagree with the people condemning him is that, ok he errs too much on the side of caution, but in a game gone mad, a game where people openly talk about how mad everything has become, he is one of the few people not only saying it but sticking with his principles Are those principles costing Arsenal? Arguably yes and that?s what should be discussed. But people are losing their sh** with him in a manner which is out of order I say arguably yes btw ? but when the Great Football Crash comes... if he is still in charge he will hold most of the cards More likely, is he will be moved on/up, we appoint someone new who spends more than we have (because that is what the winning clubs are doing) and we MIGHT (spending money doesn?t guarantee anything) have some success, only to be in same boat as everyone else when the crash comes
  12. "Down, Tiger!" heh sorry foxy you did say a tenner for beer but mostly you are hiding behind vague phrasing to suggest things are worse than thy are as for ?12 burgers - that does usually include sides. It still seems steep until I go and eat a much cheaper burger somewhere else comparable (ie a pub not a burger joint) and then I can immediately see why there is a price differential But if someone has a recommendation for a good, cheaper burger in a pub I'm up for that
  13. Question was for PD but as another Arsenal fan... Summer transfer (in)activity has been baffling but strangely familiar. Glad to see so much deadwood go but we are unquestionably thin There are power/balance issues at manager/board level ? bottom line for me would be to get someone in to do the transfer work/argue with wenger. I know they have a team who supposedly to the negotiations, but more of an individual to close the deals. David Dein keeps being mentioned as some sort of hero in this regard, but not him. Someone like that tho As for the manager himself ? so much is being written about him now being old-fashioned, behind the times etc etc, it makes me suspicious. I suspect in the long run he will be seen as more heroic throughout this period than he is being given credit for right now I?m for keeping him. I understand the debate around him but too much of it is unnecessarily ugly and reactionary IMO
  14. Twelve quid for a bottle of beer is the norm?? And that's the voice of reason?! Christ on a bike
  15. "They are now jack hammering up the LL end of East Dulwich Grove at 8:30 pm! Bishop patrons were none too impressed." I was that obvious was I?
  16. worth pointing to Louise Mensch's take on it http://unfashionista.com/2013/08/19/the-lies-of-glenn-greenberg-and-the-guardian-a-short-primer/
  17. speaking of free press and hacking http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/19/david-miranda-schedule7-danger-reporters interesting developments no? It also appears that the global press is interested but most other British papers strangely muted (also posted in a thread I thought was active but now headlined "closed")
  18. [looks like this thread is now closed so have posted elsewhere too] speaking of free press http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/19/david-miranda-schedule7-danger-reporters interesting developments no? It also appears that the global press is interested but most other British papers strangely muted
  19. How London-literate is she?
  20. Admin isn't going to change people's names But people can re register with a new name and new email address I did it a couple of years back for a couple of reasons
  21. WoD might be
  22. Count the problems. Count em Now count our fit players But still... Abject tho our pre season transfer dealing has been the predictable wash of Wenger out calls is deeply deeply depressing
  23. Woman Heh
  24. Those scars from your first forum drinks still running deep acedout huh? ;-)
  25. This is a bit odd no? http://home.bt.com/news/btlife/bt-sport-becomes-official-partner-of-manchester-city-11363825447967 A new football broadcaster officially partnering a single team?
