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.

we too moved from brixton, water lane though, by the park. blimey i was happy to get out. in the end the the high street was just all getting out of control again, i was 8 months pregnant with people offering me skunk and cocaine outside the tube! i also agree with helen, i just couldn't stomach anymore fried chicken take outs littering the place.


i do miss the ritzy though, that's a gem.


let's face it east dulwich life ia a lot calmer and gentle.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
