"A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke.

(relieved) thank goodness, thought I was misreading there. Carry on.
-
Is it me, or is this thread a bit, um, how shall I put this? Creepy?
-
I think someone might have - or else he drove off, it stopped suddenly, much to our relief. But I have to be honest and say that any kind of music is better than ah-ah ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Ah- ha. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. [pause] Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! WAH! WAH! WAH! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!

Oh dear, wish I wasn't posting this after the last message, but here goes... One of my favourite posts of all time, made me howl with laughter. In a sympathetic way, of course. :-$ The sparkly tights are particularly good. mightyroar Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > parenthood > > Walk past child in corridoor as we come in from > laugh a minute trek around sainsburys, carrying > heavy bags (always carry more than is confortable > in stupid attempt to get the whole thing done > quicker).

Dulwichdahlia, I would first like to say that I am not criticising you, nor disagreeing with your dislike of fraud, and I hope that my post is not off topic. You have raised the issue of fraudulent benefit claiming. While there have been as usual a few flippant comments - which are very much in the spirit of the EDF, and best taken on the chin in my view! - generally, I think the response has been one of bafflement. But while you have not said this directly - and I may therefore perhaps be misreading - you have implied that as a community East Dulwich is ignoring or belittling or even sheltering benefits criminals. I can state categorically that I personally am not. Unless you have any evidence that this is going on, I honestly don't see the debate you are trying to raise. Do we think benefits fraud is bad? Yes. Do we know of any criminals ourselves whom we have not reported? Well, I don't think so. If I'm wrong, then we have a topic to discuss. Please advise.

I don't get why Asset gets called the psycho in this case. Seemed a relatively mild response to a really nuts comment to me!
-
Dulwichdahlia, what is the point of your thread? I would imagine that if you polled the EDF most people would say that they think fraud is a Bad Thing. I personally am not aware of anyone mis-claiming benefits. It seems you are. What do you want us to discuss?
-
Mr. is somewhat bemoosed as to why so many people asked him whether it was scary to be there... but we had a really nice time. Sorry we had to cut it short, it would have been great to catch up with everyone properly. Till next month!

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life (drily) Ah-ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Still up for it in principle but sadly now can't do either 10th or 3rd. Was there a daytime pissup scheduled too, for Huguenot's return to the UK, or did I miss it?

Looking forward to buying BN5 a congratulatory drink. But eek! Mr Moos asked me 'will someone make me wear a label' and I breezily said no... Can he be excused please Steve? I'm sure he wouldn't want to be known as 'Mr Moos'to the world of East Dulwich, he's not just my property, you know.... Neh heh heh

I'm coming along on Friday, and so is Mr. Moos. I'd be interested to meet PoundPoundPoundPound, but I'll eat my hat if he actually shows up.

George Clooney cried like a baby when I dumped him. Suppose it's not all that funny, though.

Hello all Rumours of my demise and birthday have been greatly exaggerated. xx

Etiquette should definitely be to politely point out the poop and ask them to clear it up. -

*Moos emerges dishevelledly from space behind the sofa* I was here all along. What the blue bill buggery has been going on in the Lounge? I turn my back for 5 minutes and it's all gardening and mumbling through the false teeth. Give me some very strong alcohol Right Now! Where's DM when you need her?

Blimey, Kel's had too much coffee. Are we allowed imaginary friends in the Quiet Room? Let's stick to the Bellinis. *waves glass around enthusiastically, and then concentrates on wiping sticky Bellini off best suit* Damn

Glad that this thread has lost its more vicious tone. Can we just clarify exactly what's being suggested here? If we cut down large trees on pavements how will that help with relieving housing problems? The only way trees could be replaced with houses would be to eliminate parks, and I don't see anyone suggesting that. I fear we are all wandering around in circles without a clue what is actually under discussion. (cross-posted with *bob*)

You underestimate the abilities of the Forum's Queen. She's not here at the moment, but can you see that straw sticking out of the drinks cabinet, and leading to a secret door? She's drinking it right now.
-
Lordy, someone new in the Quiet Room. Have a drink, Will Dex. That's pretty much all we do in here. After that, if you still want a cat flap, I can recommend a tremendous chap. Won't install your cat flap, but you'll have plenty to post about. Dammit, DM has drunk all the Chablis again. Pinot Grigio do?

Loz Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- I give you in > evidence I especially liked this bit "The guide added: "Some people think that if a large number of racist incidents are reported, this will reflect badly on the institution. In fact, the opposite is the case."" Do you think they'll be setting them targets? Sean, kids are born not liking spicy food, that's why first foods are always bland, and parents have to introduce flavour so they can learn about different foods. I'm amused by the idea that failure to teach a child that spicy food is nice is racist, though. Oh, you were joking. :-$ On topic, still not agreeing with jrusssel at all and awaiting his draft letter with interest. However, am enjoying the freshness of an unabashedly different point of view - absolutely agree this is what the forum is for!

Definitely. See the 'Herne' boozeup thread.
