Hi - come and join me at the Gowlett on a Friday evening - I'm always there then at the bar from 8pm onwards (glasses and clean shaven amongst a sea of beards).

Well string would provide a good border reference point without having to get your phone out. I suggest blue string for Dulwich, yellow for ED and red for Nunhead. Could have green for Camberwell.

What about putting differently colored strings from the lampposts to signify the borders? I like going to the Gowlett - am I correct in presuming that is still in the ED / PR area?

Where does Dulwich Village end and East Dulwich start, and where does East Dulwich end and Peckham start, and where does Peckham Rye end and Nunhead start? I need to know as I generally only want to do my everyday activities in East Dulwich and Reckham Rye. Thanks.

A sort of homecoming?

That can't be correct, is it? Shouldn't that be 'disabled access' as noted in the Equality Act 2010 (formerly the Disability Discrimination Act 1995).

I wouldn't bother with that - Darcy Bussell is only 46 and has had to have hip surgery due to ballet dancing.

I think this is probably due to excess condensation from breathing - I'd suggest turning down the heating slightly and leaving some windows ajar for ventilation.

People from ED should go out there and people from HH should go out there, unless you are invited by someone from one of the areas to go out there and vice versa.

My previous neighbours across the road just had the whole roof ridge raised for a loft conversion - worked out fine - I even saw the crane lift the new beam into the higher position.

There is no way a corporate garage like Kwikfit would do that. Maybe an independent garage - but only if they were close to your house.

I'm going to Glastonbury, Latitude, and Reading this year.

I'll be doing a pop up pizza restaurant from my brother's back yard in the summer on CPR - please visit - we'll have space for 7 tables and a wood fired oven.

Hold the pheasant! Some friends have been shooting and given us some goose breasts. Does anyone know how to cook those?

Thank you for that top tip - I shall try when cooking my brother's pheasant.

Ok thanks - should I put it in a pot then put in the oven? Do you mean like a casserole pot?

Come to my local fave - The Castle

Oh ok - so I could just get a bag of Tyrells to serve with the pheasant? I thought game chips were actual chips - thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know how to make game chips? Are they different from just 'chips'?

Thank you

Do you need tickets to get a seat? I don't want to stand.

Yes, but we could join up together to be temporarily free. I've been here since 2009 in one guise or another. I've put the pHeasant in the freezer - will defrost Christmas Eve.
