Basically as the story goes, the admin got drunk on power, gathered an inner circle of toadies, they starting pm'ing every mister meaner on site, then the libs got in on the act by demanding a private thread and a ban on all people who make negative comments about ED, then people got bored, moved on, as the spirit of the original forum has long since gone.


I have a kettle for sale though?

You're all chumps.


I was posting on this 'ere forum when admin was posting to himself to make it look popular.... (Click on my name and go to first post, woooo yeah! back THEN!!!! ;-) 2006!)


Within a month of launch some pillocks were complaining that it isn't what it was.


I can tell you, with considerable authority, that it's exactly the same as what is was. A cornucopia of pookies.


I only post on here myself because I like being abused. The cleverer the better. Only the vainglorious attract my down-nose-looking.


Come on now. Brush yourselves down. Raise your chin.... there. That's better. Now, go and poo in his briefcase.... :)

It's not the television.


If it's boring you, you're at liberty to pull your finger out of your ass and make it more entertaining. Or fuggedabahdit and do something else. Complaining about it being boring is not going to make it more interesting. Complaining about it being boring on another forum which is 'proper boring' is surely a sign of mental imbalance - and possibly a sign of having an underdeveloped penis.

Here is the reply to me on NHF by the new female assistant? admin.


I wonder why I am just one of the EDF who still show interest there.


Looks like she cant take criticisum


Her post.


Only you can tell us why you're attracted to maintaining your membership of the Nunhead Forum, Shorty.

It's a voluntary position though. But I hope you won't be asking for your P45 just yet.


I read it as the reverse, but then would I argue?


Walks off with P45 in bag on Zimmer.

Haha Quids, reckon we all are. Otherwise why the fuck would we think complete strangers would have any interest in anything we had to say? (you know who you are people - I know what I am, but what are you?)


Still, Vrouw, wasn't there a thread in the What's On section a wee while back about swinging action in ED? This has to be an optimistic thought, no? We like each other enough to want to have pop-socked sex on the synthetic settee while the kids are at mums'.

Actually, I do think one of the reasons is the Drawing Room an opinion I've long held. Dumbed down the Lounge (or certainly 'undiluted' the dumbness) and made it less interesting and I'm guessing fewer visitors and a smaller and smaller pool of posters, which both reinforces the feeling of cliques, doesn't encourage newbies and makes us all bored of each other's work, I know I'm bored of my stuff. If you move away from the really useful bits of the forum, then in 'personality' the Lounge is the lifeblood of a forum and I think it's now the poorest bit on here. The Drawing Room has sort of worked in one way but really spoilt the Lounge IMO.

So you read it as, "Yet just P45 your for asking be won't you hope I but. Though position voluntary a it's. Shorty, Forum Nunhead the of membership your maintaining to attracted you're why us tell can you only."

According to orioles...(mmm, now who is that?) on NHF Daize this is yer answwer


Answer: Its the bland leading the bland, I'm afraid.


No life, electricity or vitality. Nothing to stimulate just becoming a dull, dismal, (slightly) depressing, dreary Lounge area now

as those who were prepared to take a risk or the feisty element ( bbw/mikecg/tls/afn etc) have all been sent packing.

The truth is that any Forum I've ever seen, inevitably, relies on opinionated Men to raise the temperature and cause a stir ( and Yes! friction sometimes) but Men, invariably, have no hard feelings and often praise their adversaries.


I'm afraid the combination of non-controversial and non-combatitive Females and liberal wishy-washy, uncontroversial Men has reduced EDF to its current boring nothingness.


Think there are some truths in that

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.

      Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
