I used to be quite good at chess til I was about 18 (****). Then people said you are a mathematician so you must be good at chess. This raised the goalposts to the point where I decided not to risk being only mediocre at chess. So I stopped playing. **** clearly any evidence as to whether I was good at chess at 17 has been lost in the mists of time so I can make this statement without feer of repraisal.

I think they are implying that the would prefer the "do-gooders" actually do good rather than pay lip service or delude themselves that they are doing good. Not sure if do-badders should have one or two ds, but then I am dyslexic so I don't trust my judgement :-)

So after 1 pint that turned into more than 1 it got too late to come.

I am s'posed to be working on mine, but I have been so busy doing real work that it hasnt quite happened :-) > Justifying my existance here. Well I hope that coming in to work on Sunday two weeks in a row will justify mine without SMART bullshit.

I often travel from Denmark Hill -> ED around 7pm. Sometimes there will be a long queue to get onto a fairly full 185 / 176. Then an almost empty 40 turns up and drives straight past. The drivers logic is presumably that the anyone who might use the 40 could equally get 185/176 .

Does that mean they have been trading illegally and will have to stop. I dont understand the jargon of this sort of stuff.

OK - nice to feel wanted! Here are the first few - click on the picture to take you to the set. I have set them as private but the link above will let you see them - ie you have to get the link from this site to get to them. Not Fort Knox stuff but gives a little privacy. Please let me know if you want any removed. Some of them could do with a crop (no Britney jokes please) but it was better to get them up.

No I am not in bed. Will get some photos up now.

Hi The item about this seems to have got rather a long way down the list, so I quick note will bring it to the top :) If you wish to tick the "No publicity" option, you may be glad to know that I will be a little late (around 9). So you can have a few drinks before I snap, name and shame on Flickr. Of course if anyone else would like to share the role of self appointed joint official photographer, please go ahead. And I have just remembered my camera battery is a bit thirsty..

I think maps and photos would help. I wandered down LL yesterday and the following shops look empty. http://www2.black1.org.uk/local/ give you a map with photos if you click on the markers. Just a bit of Google maps and Flickr intergration with a small smattering of AJAX.

Gently nudging the thread back to the subject .... > Does Sat 24th Feb sound ok with everyone? That looks OK to me

I think that having it on different nights would be good, differnt people have different other engagements. I would quite like Fridays as there is less unmissable things happen that night. How about Fri 16 Feb. Of course people who value their (photographic) privacy might prefer a date I am busy :)

Hi Georgia The "punishment" for not turning up is to organise the next one :)

See the thread Meet at the Magdala - some photos. I thought this thread had got a bit long :-)

I was wondering about putting notes on the photos to name names - are people happy with that? I left moderately early, did the festivities go on beyond my departure. Andrew - self apointed official photographer :-)

Hi there. Proof that the people who post on this forum have real life existance http://farm1.static.flickr.com/124/371689161_7bff5c481c_m.jpghttp://farm1.static.flickr.com/183/371689154_cc230074c2_m.jpg There are more at Andrew's photos tagged EastDulwichForum

It is called Art ! See http://spacestationsixtyfive.com/ Occasionally they have had some interesting shows, but usually find it boring!

My grouse today is rubber bands dropped on the pavement by post[wo]men. Why can't they put the unused ones into their bag to reuse tomorrow? I once counted 10 in a very short space. End of rant...
