A work collegue is using Dulwich College (Library for the ceremony, Hall for the reception). It's pretty pricey and they've got a long waiting list - he's not getting hitched until next October - the first available slot at the time of booking about six weeks ago.

...and find you find well flushed blokes crap in bed.

Bit of history here on the Dulwich Society website, including memories of the Hospital Radio service.

I have two email addresses but tend to use the same one all the time and I receive very little spam (no offers of viagra, appendige pumps etc). Could be down to NTL/Virgin Media possibly, or maybe my good luck.

I've had three phishing emails from "Nationwide" BS in three days - anyone else get these? Has the security of the EDF been breached? I think we should be told...

I'm sure this was discussed before but am unable to find the thread...vaguely seem to remember mixed views on the topic and someone suggested he may have been having an off-day and another suggested that he was mourning the death of his wife...(apologies if my memory doesn't serve me too well)

"One of the joys of living in South London is the green spaces and abundant trees." Absolutely, don't get me wrong I'm all in favour of trees - but it should be the right tree in the right place and ED streets are the wrong place for huge trees.

Having suffered subsidence caused by a large Horse Chestnut street tree I'm afraid I have little sympathy. These trees were simply not designed for the relatively narrow streets and pavements we have in the area. Their roots break up the pavements and presumably are a pain in the neck for the utility companies. One of the worst examples I know of is the tree at on the RH side of Melbourne Grove opposite the church - the pavements completely broken up and the gap between the tree and the hedge/fence is only big enough for one person.

Surely this is just a question of market forces as its lucrative for pubs to attract families with money to spend. Why not ask to speak to the landlord/owner and try to persaude them to establish a "no-go" area for children.

Whiled away many happy hours when I was a kid, just wondered if anyone - or more likely their children - still did...

Admin - can you lounge this thread it seems to have strayed from the original topic.

Found in Planning Applications (sorry I'm a little bored...) Location: 34 EAST DULWICH GROVE, LONDON, SE22 8PP Proposal: Demolition of existing 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) and existing double garage and the construction of a 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) comprising 5no x 2 bedroom units and double garage. Now I think that 34 EDG is the one on the corner of EDG and Elsie Road, that looks like its got severe subsidence caused by the massive Ash tree in the front garden. It's been surrounded by plywood hoarding for as long as I can remember. Over to the regular forumites to debate (again) the merits of all property is theft, unsold developments, buy-to-let, incomers, Victorian/Edwardian vs contemporary architecture...

I think they're part of the Friern Road society - try here

Far too obvious - the job was much more likely to have been carried out by a couple of women in their late 20's/early 30's with three-wheeled pushchairs to carry off the loot - last seen heading for the queue at William Rose

I'll try and help you out Ant - Ealing Broadway.

Mark - what rules are you playing by ? Dollis Hill would have been allowed using the old 1978 rulebook (revision 2.2) but not if you're the following the changes proposed at the Santiago International Convention in 1985, yet to be ratified but in common use. You should have played South Woodford.

That probably means that some poor soul is weeding them out at some point during the recycling process.

Re: Tetrapak carton recycling, while Southwark drag their feet, being one of only four boroughs not offering any recycling facilities, according to the Tetrapak recycling website, Lewisham have placed a large bin in the Sainsburys Car Park in Forest Hill for just this purpose. Not exactly on the doorstep but worth knowing about if you feel like saving them up for a while.

Thanks - call me a cheapskate but I wasn't looking to spend quite as much as that, but then I guess you get what you pay for. Ta EDP

Can anyone recommend earphones for running ? My ipod earphones died recently and I replaced them with some earbud type ones from Sennheiser, which sound good if your standing still but constantly fall when you're jogging along.
