Hiya's

Me and my fella are new to the area and went to the drinks in the plough. Had a great night, thought everyone was really cool. Had talked about going to the pub quiz on sunday night in the magdala but we ended up painting the bedroom instead (yawn), sorry about that andrew. We will be definetly up for it other times though, and this sunday is a possibility if anyone else is up for it.


tchau

I like tingawee too! tina gwee comes from a family nickname coz in the town where I am originally from in Co Derry, there are so many mccloskey's that each family group is known by a nickname and we are the gwee's (its a verbal thing so there is no proper spelling)


To answer dulwichmum, I am not on facebook. Am contemplating it but for many reasons have resisted so far.


Thanks all for being so welcolming, see you at the next one


tchau

Hi


my partner and I have also moved to the area after living in suitcases and staying with friends for such a long time. It doesnt help to be fussy I guess but when your rent is ?1300 a month, I think you need to be a touch fussy! But anyhow, we are here and happy to meet people.


We were living in Brixton Hill which was great but I was getting sick of seeing the fast food take outs and the lack of community feel.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
