Could you expand on that? What happened? Why/how was the manager rude?

Which shop's Willow?

So does Moxons have a good range, what are their prices like and what time do they close?

I can just imagine ED mums walking up to each other, touching fists and saying "safe" as a greeting

Here's a partial list of london street gangs, ok there isn't one for SE22 but there is a Dulwich Crew in SE5. Does anyone know if there's an East Dulwich Yoots Posse? or a Buggy Mumz Massive in da area? Snorky, you's down wid it, any ideaz?

the number's 020 8693 7600

hubba hubba

I'll be up for playing some cricket, count me in

ahh, the place with the condensation blocking the menu, I know now. Is it traditional French or more 'ello 'ello? Is it romantic? Is it worth considering for a certain night next week?

Has anyone heard anything official yet? I've been with them for about four years now and it would be nice of them to proactively tell me know what's going on...

I'll be there, and I hope other forum users will be there this Saturday afternoon, but the big question is... will he http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/360734235_bb1211a1af_m.jpg be there?

I'm thinking about having an East Dulwich Forum space at the Goose Green Festival, so I would like to hear your ideas how to create the Forum on Goose Green? What about a Speaker's Corner? How about a debating competition? Question and Answer session with Quaywe, Huguenot, Snorky, DulwichMum and BatDog chaired by The Administrator? A blind taste-off between the different Indian Restaurants i.e. they all supply 3 types of dishes and people (ok, registered users) vote for the best ones. Then a drink-off where the local bars supply some of their beers and people vote for the best ones? Mud wrestling pit for the Mums? Stick the name to the face competition, a board with the faces of the users and you have to guess who they are? And an aftershow party somewhere nearby, I don't know where, but perhaps sponsored by Upstairs at the EDT? Ideas please... and don't forget to let Reluctant runner know what you would like to see at this year's Fair. As mentioned by others I'd like to see more space to walk round the stalls, the return of Chilli Pete and more food and drink stalls, the queues were massive last time for the few that were there. (Just thought of an other Forum idea, a chilli eating competition, nothing to do with a forum but it would be funny)

I heard that in London you're never more than six feet from a Starbucks

East Dulwich is the new Bogot?

so someone's managed to dupe Snorky into paying for a free SE22 magazine safe

Has anyone heard when the Dulwich leisure centre will re-open?

I sympathise with you all_star, I hope Surma act on it after you brought it to their attention, Mr Ali (the manager) is a genuinely nice guy and tries to make everything perfect for his customers. I'm sure there will be another poll towards the end of the year as to which was the best Indian Restaurant in East Dulwich during 2007, that gives the other restaurants time to spruce up their act and try to get their hands on the prestigious award.

I agree with you snorky. Wow, did I just say that?

any news?

What are miranets?

Allow me. They will be sending out letters this week to Fusion members informing them of the situation i.e. the roof was damaged and they haven't started work on it yet. In the meantime they suggest use the Waverly Gym or Peckham Pulse (whose pool opens on April). They will freeze February's direct debit for members. That's what I was told on the phone today when I phoned them to find out.

or a con-man

any news on what it's going to be?

Fusion's management said they would call me when it's open and as they haven't called me I'll assume it's still closed (unless anyone here knows any different?)

Snorky, you said "Lets have a community centre" and I was simply telling you there already is a Community Centre on Darrell road. You also said "It would help if we had a "community" to stlck in it" If you believe there's not a community in the area and therfore it would be helpful to have one, how would you realistically start to create one? [edited] I've added the following as an after-thought and out of curiosity: Snorky, I can see from a lot of your posts that you have some issues with the current community here in East Dulwich. It would be great if you could please share with us where these issues have come from, perhaps your background and what the old community was like and what it's benefits were. It would help those of us who weren't born or grew up in East Dulwich to understand where you are coming from Thanks Mark
