OK, I have joined as I had a team in a separate league anyway! As for this coming season. It's Manure for the title, then Chelski, Liverpool and Arsenal in that order. That's a given almost. The more interesting competition is of course for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th! Spurs will be there and I think they are the only definite. Man C have spent but this has been based on videos of players, for instance they bought Giovanni on the basis of a video of a game against Havant and Waterlooville or Bournemouth. Bolton will not be as triky as last year. Newcastle always under achieve and it will be fun to see them do the same this season. Wet Sham? Maybe, maybe not. Blackburn - lets hope they cease to exist somehow this season. Boro? Going down I hope. Everton will probably be there unless they get docked points for third party owenrship of Manuel Fernandes (A deal that even H Redknapp said he would not touch with a barge pole). Reading will fade away to nothing this season as will Fulham and the three that come up will go back down (probably by September!) My bet for the 5-8 places are Tottenham, Everton, Portsmouth and Blackburn (sadly). This is the real competition in the premiership. Anyone else care to speculate? Oh yeah, and Southampton will get relegated from the Championship!

I guess I am lucky in that I have an exit plan, and somewhere nice and safe (ish) to move to! Don't even get me started on terrorists! :)

Sorry to stir up a hornets nest. No accent is a phrase me and my wife use to describe the increasing numbers of people around that seem to think that because they talk loudly and don't drop their aitches and tees then they have carte blanche to coupld this with extremely bad manners. I suppose it's symptomatic of a peculiar type of arraogance. A football analogy would be new breed chelsea fans. We say no accent because it is easier to say. It's just a matter of taste anyway. I feel a little too old to stand in an over hot bar paying over ?5 for a glass of wine (for the wife not me) and call it enjoyment. I'll leave that to you youngsters.

Back on track. So far we in ED have been completely surrounded by gun / gang crime but little has actually happened in ED. Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Peckham and New Cross, have seen 10s of gang related murders in the last year but not here. I would suggest that the old bill are fairly relaxed about these junior gangsters topping each other, but should one of us white faced johnnies in plush ED get nutted then all hell would break loose. The book Cupcake - an autobiographical account of the life, including the gang life, of Cupcake Brown describes how when the Gangstas were shooting each other the police and very often ambulance services were not even interested and left then to die in the corner of the road rather than waste battery power on a siren and a blue light. I would suggest that we are on the verge of the same attitude here. Some may say it's a good thing and some say it's a bad thing. Me, I think if you pick up a gun then you forfeit all rights that society may or may not have granted you. You take yourself outside of the rights that everyone else enjoys. Gun Crime, and the desensitisation surrounding it is the reason that I am desparate to leave London. Leave all these pathetic soles to carry on shooting each other over respect.

The Canning and the Phoenix are better pubs than all the East Dulwich ones put together imo. A pub should be a pub, not a place of meeting for people with overloud no accent voices! EDT is part way there!

People who carry guns deserve shooting! Shame he didn't fall over on it and blow his own face off quite frankly!

Whilst not defending them in any way, I think there was a yellow sign outside the station a little while ago saying that the ticket clerk had been seriously assaulted in an armed robbery. Perhaps the reduction in hours is as a response to this in some way? It did happen in the middle of the day, but obviously not at rush hour when the world and his wife / her husband are using hte station. I drive eveywhere, but when commuting into Covent Garden for work previously I too donned headphones and a book and jumped on the 176!

Dunno about that but I had a Surma last night and am feeling very ill this morning!

Surely Brockwell Lido will be heaving with a capital HEAVE tomorrow and Sunday?

The beast of Sydenham made an appearance in my East Dulwich garden once! I kid you not. It was not a pig though but it did nearly eat one of my cats and leapt my 7 foot fence when I chased it with my chef's knife!

Top Lyrics? I'll give you top lyrics...... from the master. Boys from the County Hell On the first day of March it was raining It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning At the time I was working for a landlord And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore I recall we took care of him one Sunday We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real But all I know is I left that place without a penny or fuck all And now I've the most charming of verandas I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and whores Five green bottles sitting on the floor And I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ That I had fifteen more The boys and me are drunk and looking for you We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam And my brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam On the first day of March it was raining It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen Stay on the other side of the road 'Cause you can never tell We've a thirst like a gang of devils We're the boys of the county hell God Bless Shane

I have absolutely no idea who Rod Liddle is! Mind you I did not know who Nicole Kidman was until last night!

If you keep them open, then you give them carte blanche to flout laws and that is wrong. Also, this bored is not representative of ED feeling surely, and is only representative of the people that use it. It's all BS imo. Laws is laws and someone needs an example making of them. If I flout planning laws in my house would I get let off? Would I fook!

Where is it - someone google map it for me or something please!

Excellent! I would die if my lottie or bear went missing!

We saw Linda too, going in and coming out of SMB. We were sitting outside petit choux at the time, counting bug a boos

get an e65

I am on day 22 of giving up and am attending the Smoking Cessation Clinic at the Maudsley Addictions Research Centre. Taking the new Champix drug and doing good!

Isn't there another thread about this?? I was followed to work by Rio Ferdinand the other day along East Dulwich Road and up round Peckham to Queens Road! Nice car!

Stuck in the mud was a fave, as was Om Pom 1-2-3; a variation on hide and seek where people not only had to hide, but had to get to "home" without getting tagged! Used to play this in the local grave yard as big tombs made excellent hiding places. Ahh the cries of OM POM 1-2-3 SAVE ALL!

Because they're ugly and they stink!

Why do women where Make Up and Perfume?

Brendan that one was called Kinger down in Gods Country on the South Coast. British Bulldog with added violence was also a big fave too! When we were really young we used to play "Please Mr Crocodile" and "What's the time Mr Wolf" which as I remember were virtually the same game and involved creeping up on someone who then had to turn round and catch ya! Ahhh yesterday!
