Well done numbers. Your support is notable. I will hunt down daffodil abuse on whichever local plot of common land it occurs. Be warned posh pram owners. Louisa.

*Bob* if you are going to take me to the pictures I would rather it were a full priced ticket at the posh local place rather than a meerkat 2 for 1 at Peckhamplex. Not my sort of film, but if you're prepared to throw in a glass of red who am I to argue? Louisa.

Which man foxy? Louisa.

This is her. She's been out of the limelight for many years. Louisa.

Lady Colin Campbell is great. I would love to have a barney with her. Louisa.

Hopkins is a shock jock, pure and simple. The more you hate her, you more she digs her heels in and carries on with what she does. I actually really like her style, I think we could learn a lot from her. I don't agree with her on Trump, but guess what she has the right to say and do what she pleases in a democracy. I'd quite like to see her up against Lady Colin Campbell, now that would be highly entertaining. Louisa.

Bad boy. Get to your bed. Louisa.

I wonder if I could start a petition for my lounge release? Louisa.

Just seen on the BBC News that 2/3 of Republican primary voters polled, claimed to support trump's idea of a ban on Muslims visiting the States. If true, that's quite scary. Louisa.

More to do with the way in which it was built I would argue, dark connecting corridors with little or no lighting. Very poor post war building resulted in places for crime to easily flourish. Louisa.

Right you lot. Listen, and listen good. Open up your crusty, moth savaged wallets and get donating to the forum. Not because you get a lovely little gold star, nor because you love how useful it is to communicate with like minded folk and share in the joy of living in East Dulwich. No, none of that bollocks. Donate, because if you don't, I won't be allowed back in the main section where I can spread joy and happiness (aka keep you lot entertained on your lunch break). The forum needs your help, so please get donating now, alright? Louisa.

See also the huge toy and memorabilia business which branched off from the franchise. It must makes millions. Louisa.

At this festive time of year, older people in society (ME) are sat around at home twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to happen. Often left with just a few bottles of Malbec to keep them going, they find themselves needing to interact with people. Thousands (ME) of people are using local Internet forums to socialise and air their opinions with the outside world, and yet so many (ME) find themselves locked away like a criminal in a prison cell (The Lounge), waiting to communicate (snipe at and ridicule) with newcomers (yuppies) to the area. This appeal goes out directly to admin, to allow these isolated folk (ME) to once more communicate their thoughts with the larger community. Come on its Christmas, how would you feel if someone you loved was locked up in this way? All donations go towards daffodil restoration on GG come spring. Louisa.

I'm sick of people constantly.... Oh I can't be arsed. Where's the wine gone. Louisa.

I wonder if you'd be honest with yourself about the number of calories you're about to consume though Rah? ;-) Louisa.

Trump represents a narrowing wing of the Republican Party, mostly white and older which is afraid of a changing America, scared of Christian values being lost, and fearful of constitutional amendments to repeal the right to gun ownership. If he is on the Republican ticket I have no doubt this will be the first time that a two term Democratic president has left office, to be replaced by another Democrat president. And is it any wonder when people like him are allowed to represent such a broad church of opinions with this narrow firebrand scaremongering attempt at presidential nomination. Louisa.

Whilst I agree that state subsidising of religious schooling isn't a great idea in the 21st century, I find it sad that as a society with an official state religion (CofE), we now no longer are accepting of the cultural influences Chritianity has had on this country. Removing Christian influences from assemblies in secular state schools, including carol services at Christmas and the harvest festival etc leave us as a society culturally weakened. Louisa.

The Republican Party surpasses itself once again. They pick some of the most bizarre candidates for the commander in chief role. Even UKIP would blush at some of these comments. Hilary will have a walk in the park next November. Louisa.

*Bob* you will never receive a ban. Admin adores you, as do I. However, you need to be careful, the clique are circling us individuals waiting to pounce. Using positive business feedback on the forum as a guise to slowly erode away individuality and I believe admin is in on it too. Lots of cosying up earlier. The fox, a famous local face given official warning for exposing more undercover gentrification by the back door nonsense in the main section. Just be careful. Louisa.

*Bob* you should know all about that. Louisa.

Otta thanks for the kind words. I appreciate I had gotten on people's nerves, and probably still do. Being confined to the lounge just limits my audience so maybe that's why I'm tolerated more here. However, as admin knows only too well, my class related/gentrification comments are just the tip of the iceburg. You can confine me to the lounge, but you'll never silence me on the consequences of not acting upon this. The very people who have damaged this area are the types who post about dog mess, organic gift shops and hipster bread in the main section, hence why they hate me because I've got their number (and they know it). It infuriates them that someone like me exposes their hidden contempt for working class people, and I find that mildly amusing. As you rightly point out Otta, lots of smarmy loud mouths elsewhere on the forum who are never pulled up on their comments. I was picked on for one reason alone, my influence. Too much exposure in main the section. Wouldn't want the media catching on that not everyone is happy with gentrification now would we? And this person who foxy pulled up, only ever comments on businesses aimed at the new people who've settled around here. Funny that. Louisa.

And LM yes that person has mocked me in the past, despite having barely a handful of posts to refer to. But no you are right, they are far from the biggest culprit in that sense. There was no need for them to mention me at all, surely that's the purpose of admins failed attempt at putting me in the lounge to silence my opinions about gentrification and the damage being done to the area. Louisa.

Troll? Jeremy are you being sarcastic? I have not done any trolling, I've expressed my opinions numerous times and been shouted down by clique members in a mocking fashion on most occasions. And the point about taking threads off topic is pot calling the kettle black territory. Every single one of you has done that, and continues to do that on a regular basis. Am I wrong? So please don't patronise me by suggesting that's the reason for me being shoved in the lounge like some sort of outlaw. Louisa.

Absolutely miga and Loz. I know sometimes people feel foxy and I almost court this sort of thing, but it does come to something when you are consistently singled out when you've not done anything and yes it is almost a rite of passage to have a dig at us for no apparent reason on this forum. Admin doesn't even acknowledge that point and often time almost encourages it by favouring these people over foxy and I regardless of circumstance. I for one am bloody sick of it to be honest. Admin? Explanation please? Louisa.
