  1. What's the venue??
  2. :))>>The harvester is where Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common intersect (Red and Black lines on the right). The concrete >>house is located just further along Lordship Lane where it meets London Road. << Oh yes I did realise that. I meant that from the map and according to the borders added they appear not to be in either East Dulwich or West Dulwich....so where are they?
  3. >>I'll make some changes before he weekend and see what happens...<< There's no game this weekend because of the internationals, so I'd wait until after they're done before making any new buys in case your exciting new number 9 shirt turns out to have a groin strain....:))
  4. Looking carefully at that map. I am curious as to where such as The Harvester & The Concrete House are actually situated? :-S
  5. >>What all the postings seem to have forgotten so far is just how blooming dangerous Forest Hill Road is.<< So how just dangerous is it/was it? How many people had actually been knocked down on that pedestrian crossing? I'd never felt at risk on it as I sometimes have done trying to cross the one at Goose Green roundabout from the Green side to the EDT, or the one by the Harvester on Lordship Lane. to quote just a couple of local examples. And as for the cars having to wait a couple of minutes for the lights to change, I believe the traffic was backed up along Forest Hill Road all the way to the Wood Vale lights this morning...
  6. >>However.. I can't remember exactly what the small print said, but I was under the impression it just had to be 'sale agreed' before Xmas.. if it completed in the New Year then you'd still be entitled?<< I cannot remember the full wording either, but think you have it right. Could it really be the case though that, if you and Buyer A agree the sale/purchase before Christams, then Buyer A backs out in January but you subsequently agree and complete a sale to Buyer B in February, then there will still be no commission payable? :))
  7. Excellent summary. May I make a small correction though? The Farmers' Market at Dulwich College is not every Sunday but (usually) the fourth Sunday of each month.
  8. I'm certainly game (already having low self-esteem issues with the Premier Fantasy League and desperately need a shot at redemption...) :)-D
  9. >>Everyone predicted the Derby thrashing but only Sean, Me and Mockney got one perfect score each<< Yes well done (he said through gritted teeth). In "another place" Villa were my favourites to break into the "Top 4" this season so, although obviously a Nation Rejoices at today's Villa Park result, I feel exceptionally smug.....

    Ask Admin

    Is it just me or have we lost the bold/italic/underline etc toolbar/functions since the latest update?
  11. >>Anyone remember Dr FInaly's casebook?? << Yes! And I do hope you mean the first, BBC black-and-white version rather than the more recent ITV remake? Lovely jaunty tune over a shot of an old car trundling through lovely Scottish scenery, and classic dialogue... "Errrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh Janet!" "Ohhhh Doctor Cameron!"
  12. The new traffic lights have made the junction worse for both the driver and the pedestrian. I used the crossing fairly regularly and, it being a zebra crussing with an island at the centre, rarely had to wait long before crossing all or half the road. Now, as the road traffic has three separate phases (not just two), you can wait ages for the green light. SimonM
  13. >>wonder where the crows went for the day?<< They were in the next field looking enviously on! :)) The fete was quite splendid, for all the reasons already stated by others. The cakes were wonderful....and how nice to see an event not dotted with ice cream/burger vans and similar salmonella-catering wagons. I suppose if you want to cavil then the Rye was perhaps too large-scale a setting for what was basically a local fete. As for the beer running out at 4pm, well the affair did start at Noon!
  14. >>Like the Murphys SimonM's not bitter...... :D
  15. Bolton v Everton 0-1 Fulham v Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool v Derby 3-0 Middlesbrough v Birmingham 2-1 Newcastle v Wigan 2-0 Reading v West Ham 2-1 Man Utd v Sunderland 3-0 Arsenal v Portsmouth 1-0 Blackburn v Man City 1-1 Aston Villa v Chelsea 1-1
  16. "Z-Cars".... ...which as a bonus will piss off all the Liverpool F.C. fans...:))
  17. >>I should imagine they want to open in a blaze of glory, windows (sorry - giant plasma screens) packed to the rafters >>with property - so they need time to get the clients in.:D< Got my third letter again today too....again addressed to me personally, ignoring the fact SWMBO also owns the place....
  18. There are or used to be at least two more tyre shops in the back streets of ED....so it looks like the market could stand it
  19. Thank you for that! So in theory you might get one of the English clubs and both Celtic and Rangers in the same group....:))
  20. Do we know anything about the seedings? I am assuming all the Premier League clubs will avoid one another but that Celtic and Rangers are likely to to be drawn with 1 of the English lot?
  21. >>They were both designed by Giles Gilbert Scott :D< Do you supposed GGS had the brass neck to charge a full fee for designing both though, when one design is so obviously a rip-off of the other? And.....which is Blackpool Tower, which Eiffel??
  22. Personally I am just pleased to be off rock-bottom now and in the top million overall!>:D
  23. It always reminds me of the tower at the University Library, Cambridge where, according to legend, Hitler had been living since 1945....
  24. >>Top win for Barnsley at home to Plymouth 3-2<< URMichaelParkinson&ICM?5! Nearly threw it away though didn't you?
  25. I stopped by today to give it the "Espresso test". I suppose traditionally tea shops are not too clever with the rival drink and in this respect tradition was duly followed. The coffee was only so-so and served in a wide-topped glass cup which is not the way with espresso - you need a narrow straight-sided cup so that the crema does not get stretched too thinly. At ?2.50 it was expensive and - it pains me no end to write this - not in the same class as the really good one I finally managed to acquire last week at a certain branch of a certain chain on Dog Kennel Hill for only ?1.50, served (at last!) in a proper espresso cup too. The pastries etc looked terrific: the service was wonderful: the menu jaw-dropping. I know LL is at the cutting edge of all that is now and trendy but is ED really ready for the ?11 sandwich?! Okay so it's a club sandwich and it has white crabmeat as one of the fillings but dammit a sandwich is a sandwich is a sandwich. I am sorely tempted to start a new thread in the lounge titled "The best ?11 meal/snack value in ED" on the strength of this.... Despite all my grumbles I do like the place and will use it and think it a gorgeous,welcome addition to the local browsing/sluicing joints
