Huggers

I pass the gym everymorning with the dog and it is always busy with adults using it, often under the tyrranical gaze of a personal trainer.

Pull the other One cabaret got fined too. But Gerry Cottle didnt.

There's cubs at st silesius(?)ivydale road. the scouts have moved to rye hill residents hall opposite peckham park so maybe the cubs have too.

My sister-in-law got into NLP in a big way and imposed its deconstructing ways on all the family. Instead of it helping communication it just became a bullying device. Her labelling of everyone and intense interpretation of everything brought no wisdom, no honesty, no compassion to family dynamics but oppressed, suppressed and frustrated everyone. My brother, who had been married to her for 30 years, buggered off and eventually married someone who wasnt full of sh**. Be unpredictable. Sit somewhere that confounds him- cross legged on the floor perhaps so you can 'see things laterally'.. Drop into the conversation that youve just read an exposee of self help books and say anyone who can't have an independent thought without being told how to think by a book shouldnt have any responsibility. Then chuckle as if you are all on the same side. Fight bullshit with bullshit.

Yesterdays Guardian cited five incidents of fox to human attacks so it's not that unusual.

We Bellenden Villagers want to stay in Peckham.

wouldnt it have been more sensible for him to have called an ambulance while he was running to the scene instead of having other time wasting conversations on the phone?

Does anyone know who did their carpentry? The library stylie bookshelves are awesome.

what , did they have to go all the way over to East Dulwich?

also, in older people, dementia type symptoms can come from urinary infections and dehydration. But I expect you have probably checked this out.

yes most bathrooms were brought out from the back and put at the top of the stairs, the other half of that 'off room'/bedroom creating the corridor to a modern bedroom. We looked round loads o fhouses when we were buying and there were quite a few with the original arrangement. We still have separate reception rooms too- quite small when you have friends round but fantastic if the children want to watch telly and you want do do something else. The victorians were brilliant at making the best use of space. If you have ever wondered why so many unrennovated houses do not have a window or door at the back of the kitchen ,but a side looking window, while french doors go out to the garden from the reception, this is because the scullery and kitchen was the realm of the day maid- which most families, however modest employed- and you didnt want to be looking at her at her work while you were in your garden. See Noel Cowards film 'This Happy Breed' to get a good gander at the interior of the victorian/edwardian house in the inter-war years which was unchanged till the seventies. The absence of a telly as focus of a living room also made for a totally different arrangement of furniture- chairs in a semi circle round the fire, a work table at the side.

mine is still laid out like this pretty much- The loo off the scullery has been insulated, its external door walled up and an internal door put in. Our scullery is our kitchen and the old kitchen is now our dining room. We recently removed what we thought was a very sturdy shelf from our dining room - it turned out to be a side crossing chimney that would have been above the copper. We had the back bedroom and the bathroom behind it. We are currently moving this- but we've had it like that for ten years. It was lovely when the children were small to have a huge bathroom attached to their cosy bedroom. But now it is annoying to have to walk through a bedroom. We still have some original victorian lino in patches stuck to our top landing. The original wallpaper in the hall revealed itself to us when we had a radiator leak that removed the wallpaper on top. We have partially restored this with help of varnish and stick on flowers! Our house is pretty characterfull and gothic, but many would find it dark. We bought it off an old lady and we are the third owners since it was built. edited to add: our bathroom renovations haveonly just removed the piping for gas lamps which lined the back bedroom.

Oxleas woods is great for exploring. I havent tried the caff but apparently it is very nice.

Greensky, if it does really well they would maybe have to make another video in the host country of South Africa and you could be in it then.

We were told off for testing our tent erection in Dulwich Park.

What song will ignite our boys with the wherewithal to really get somewhere this time. Well I think this might do the trick! what do others think?

''I haven't seen her for ages, she's probably married some silk scarf clad bloke'' or joined a witness protection programme

you could ask him if he's OK. Then you'd know.

Hi Ive got a bag of childrens books. I live near Adys Road and have a car. I am happy to drop off stuff at Brixton as long as someone comes with me to fight off the traffic wardens while we unload.

This is a very scaremongering thread about one of the many possible but extremely unlikely things that can happen to your child, if I may say so. Most of these awful dog stories you hear, like awful child abuse stories, happen within the childrens own family and home. Peckham Rye is a very safe park for both dogs and children as regular users will know.

lame curtains still there, theatre still there but painted a deep edwardian plush red, with the addition of a glamorous dressing room for the thespians and musicians and the pool room has lovely cosy sofa and chairs.

yes last night they were not on. But half midnight the night before they were - could they have been triggered by a fox? thanks for advice everyone, I will ring school too. Oh and I think the floodlights are a security thing to deter thieves/vandals- its a three way light suspended over the playground.

Last night I went upstairs to looks at the night views for the first time from our near-completed loft conversion which will shortly be our bedroom, imagining stars, wavering trees,twinkling street lights. The horror! It was like Colditz. We are two streets away from St Johns, but the playground security light clears the houses on amott road and floods straight into our new room. What it is doing to the houses immediately oppostite must be even worse. It is not appropriate lighting for a residential area- its more fitting for an out of town factory or airport. Anyone else getting this light pollution?

do the GGT even exist? or is it a wind up to draw out the inner daily mailness of east dulwich?

I hear they have been dressing as clowns
