  3. When does the library open?
  4. We are very low here near Oakhurst Grove. We have a hot water tank in the loft so why is our hot water running so low??
  5. Sorry you got hurt LM. I have had a similar experience on that stretch! It is a poor design, and would be improved greatly just by painting it bright blue. It's refreshing that this thread has not (yet) turned into an argument between cyclists and pedestrians. @Peckhamryu - I thought it was mandatory that bicycles were sold with bells now?
  6. Yesterday they sent me a text to say they have fixed the local problem We have internet but it still seems well below par
  7. I have bought a property through PurpleBricks earlier this year and certainly from our side of the transaction, the service was very good. Apart from not having a local branch, they did act much like a normal agent. They were present when we viewed the property and the individual we met knew the house well and was able to answer questions about the property, etc. Once the offer was in, the person who saw it through was very efficient. More so than other agents we have used and more helpful than our conveyancer.
  8. I was there on Saturday. It looked fine to me. I cycled past so didn't inspect close-up. But all big grass spaces have taken a bit of a battering with the hot dry weather we had...

    Mars

    There's an excellent App called SkyView. It overlays a map of the night sky over the view from your camera. So if you align your camera over a heavenly object such as the moon, a planet or a star, the overlay will tell you what you are looking at. I think that Mars rises in the south east and sets in the south west, so a south facing vantage point should provide a view; eg East Dulwich Road facing back across Peckham Rye. It appears around sunset, looks pretty much like a star but should not twinkle in the same way. Of course London has quite strong light pollution making it harder to see anything. Also, tonight is forecast to be cloudy...
  11. Been away for a week and missed all this - peak EDF!! Well done to Tash B and ApplePears for taking the heat off UncleGlen. You make him seem almost normal by comparison.
  12. The same Nick Weston who used to own a restaurant where GBK is now on Lordship Lane?? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,10466
  13. Good question. I too have a 9 yr old who would want this game. It's fairly violent I think, but rated at age 12 - so you would assume, less so than Tour of Duty, GTA etc - probably more along the lines PG12 rated films such as some of the Star Wars films which I have let my boy watch. The issue for me is more that it's multi-player with randoms on-line. I think it's anonymised but for me that's still a step too far into the badlands of the web for a 9year old.
  14. Sounds like you did all the right things. The reason I asked the question is, would the police not automatically contact the school? dulwichbloke Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, of course I did.

  15. A brutal fight in the street should be reported immediately to the police - 999. Did you do that?

  17. Lee - football season is over for a while now, you may be relieved to hear. And you may have noticed there was an election recently. You had your chance to vote for someone else, or to stand as an independent if you didn't like any of the available options. It strikes me that the electorate made its view on the current council (against other options) very clear. For example, the Labour candidates for Peckham Rye ward polled three times more votes than their nearest rival (Green).
  18. Louisa - I am going to this and I sadly don't meet any of the criteria you outlined. I don't know about the other attendees yet, you might somehow have greater insight or knowledge of this?? And the early bird residents tickets were #15 so hardly out-pricing locals.
  19. Great stuff!! Why was this shot in LL Londis?? Kid Cudi is American and the original version of this song has a video shot in the US. This video is just for the Crookers remix, but Crookers is Italian - also I don't think the guy in this version is even Kid Cudi is he??
  20. Louisa, I don't think it's a class thing, it's a profitability thing. If you have a business that appeals to customers who don't sit within the middle-class/gentrification/newcomer set, but remains profitable, they stay open. This isn't meant as a snide value-judgement, but I don't see the bookies or chicken shops on LL closing down... and if I glance through the windows of those outlets, I don't notice them full of yummy mummy types blocking off access to the FOBs with their over-sized buggies.
  21. yeah maybe....
  22. Maybe, There are similar, larger events at Clapham Common which is unfenced and Victoria Park, fenced so it can't make too much difference...

  25. Lee, I wouldn't be surprised that the workmen were surly if you addressed them in the same supercilious tone you wrote this post in.
