the arcades in Rye Lane on same side as Bussey are getting pretty hip with art galleries, vintage clothing and vinyl! perfect place.

Vampyre!

here you go! very untidy, but the radiator is under the pink towel.

now Ive seen a notice that says comedy and music may continue at The Hob but Ron and Emma are leaving.

it is nice on a rare hot day to open them wide so you feel you don't even have a fourth wall. our radiator is on the opposite wall, the one that separates the room from the bathroom.

this is true. I don't think I would have one if I was dividing the room into two. my pics are too big at the mo, will try and reduce them.

we have one big room, it is now our bedroom. Our bathroom- which is big enough to have a bath in it- is built under the slanting part of the roof with the velux window. Under the other slant we have fitted cupboards and a space for dressing table, filing cabinet and access to storage part of eaves. A lot of plans we saw had the bathroom over the stairs which felt a bit claustrophobic. I will try and upload some pics for you.

we have a Juliet balcony which is lovely for the light. but It does rob you of a whole wall. we can really feel the wind too and in the winter it gets a bit cold. It looks spectacular though.

They were running the pub as well and I think that was a huge enterprise. They were hugely experienced in and supportive of new and established comedy. Household names would test material there before doing it on telly- Harry Hill and Michael Macintyre. The EDT was a really successful Friday and Saturday night WEEKLY comedy club with a Thursday pub quiz. The little office upstairs was used for admin and publicity. They curated the very first ED Festival with comedy, music and theatre on Goose Green and in the pub. If they were still running it I think they would have sustained that kind of interest, perhaps to an even greater extent now that ED has become a hubbub of going out-ness. Maybe Forest Hill just doesn't have the same buzz? Ron and Emma are immensely respected and loved by comedians. There is the last of the music and comedy at the Hob all this weekend if you want to show your support, with last of the comedy on Saturday night.

Kicked out of the old EDT to make way for a pizza place, after almost singlehandedly putting East Dulwich on the map with years of brilliantly curated comedy, new play readings and impro, champions of comedy Ron and Emma bought The Hob in Forest Hill to give their comedy club a permanent home. Alas, this is the last weekend! http://www.beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/1702/news-legendary-south-london-comedy-club-closes very very sad.

I have realized because the bike is called a bump and the forum won't let you use that word!!

I have been trying to put a for sale re our bmx bike under for sale section, it refuses to move from view to post or from edit to post. thanks

Sydenham/Dulwich woods if you enter the Scouts Camping field / golf club car park end.

agree it's wonderful, love the wildlife garden and looking forward to seeing whatever the new bit is going to be where the depot once was.

Perhaps East Dulwich's own Bug Man can help ?

hi Alice, Steve has just replaced some of our windows and refurbished others. I think rattlers can probably be saved but we had rattlers and rotters in the front bays. We could have had them refurbished but it would have only extended them till they needed replacement in the very near future. Our living room was extremely draughty. Because they were so far gone, it was only a bit more expensive to have them remade rather than repaired. We kept the frames and sills as they were ok and Steve's team of two extremely hard working blokes stripped and repainted these. New sashes- exact copies of the originals- in front bay and two non-bay in upstairs front bedroom. Our back bedroom had a rattler with a lot of draught, and this was taken out, stripped, and whatever else was needed to make it fit properly. They finished work today, ten days after starting- which was four days shorter than estimate.

Steve has just finished replacing and refurbishing our Victorian sash windows, bays at the front and the two in the front bedroom. The originals were pretty far gone, you could put your finger through them in parts and it was more economical and efficient in the long term to make new ones than to repair and renovate. Steve and his team made perfect copies that fit beautifully in the original frames- (which they stripped and repainted). They also refurbished and rehung our existing sash in the back bedroom that has always been incredibly draughty. They were clean, quiet, worked extremely hard for a full day, tidied up after themselves and finished the job today, three days before predicted. I am already enjoying the sensation of watching the telly without sitting in a wind tunnel. Great work!

I too saw These Trees are Made of Blood last week, the opening night. The preview was almost unbearably long at just under three hours as the cabaret bit went on almost to the interval- the first half spilling over to an hour and a half.. I am sure they have made some cuts since then! Once the story got going - it was brilliant! I've thought about it quite a lot since seeing it.

veggie samosas from the shop that used to be Andreas opposite what used to be the East Dulwich deli! I love Quorn Nutburgers but haven't seen hem around for a while.

You were all complaining at 8.22am! I was on One Tree Hill and we definitely got a dusk-light experience climaxing at 9.30 and then it began to lighten again. It was very cold, the birds shut up, the dog lay down, the apocalyptical cult like chanting began, my phone went flat (ok I hadn't charge it for a few days)... oh I see...the edf clocks gone bonkers. That's the eclipse for you.

I've just been to a preview screening of next Monday's telly documentary on British spy George Blake. Really good. I think the streets of East Dulwich appeared at some point. Did I dream it or was there a EDF mention of him recently as hiding out in East Dulwich?

Yes it had a temporary home in camberwell, on the way to the oval. What a shame the EDT kicked them out in the first place to make way for a pizza thing that then never took off.
