Apologies if this topic already posted. Transport for London have proposed creation of a PINK cycle superhighway (painted PINKin honour of the Lesbian threads , as the few cycle lanes around London have been painted blue for the Boris bikes) running from Penge to the City. Judging by the route on the map (here: [www.tfl.gov.uk]), the route runs all the way down Lordship Lane, Dog Kennel Hill, Denmark Hill, Camberwell Rd, Walworth Road. I think this is a great thing if it makes cycling into town from ED a bit safer. plus with the colour PINK being used it may well hide the blood when idiots take the Boris bikes out without a helmet


(Raises cycle hat to DJKQ for the concept)

Will the highway be that shade of pink though? I was hoping for something a bit less lurid.....not that I mind wearing pink lycra to match of course. And who knows how much money will be brought to local businesses from the pink pound along the route. I'm sure Kebab and Wine will be thrilled!

The forum is run in way that tries to make it inclusive for everyone which is hard considering there are sometimes more than 4,000 users. It is meant to be fun and useful for the people of East Dulwich and I for one really do not appreciate people posting threads that, although tongue in cheek for some, are knowingly rude and offensive for others. It makes the Lounge, a part of the forum, a playground for a few and an unfriendly place to be for others. As it was put to be by by someone who cares about the forum they use "It doesn't reflect the general niceness of the forum and surely for outsiders looking in would wonder at the attitude of the website as a whole."


Please don't just take the p1ss out of others and think you can do what you want. Just because it is the Lounge does not mean it's ok be offensive, or that you have to ruin threads by going off topic, or have digs at the people who run it so that you can post.


Please keep the Lounge a good place to be for everyone, it's hard enough running the rest of the forum without suddenly realising the Lounge maybe descending into a unwelcoming playground.

That's meant to be a polite reminder by the way, it's just there have been a few complaints recently and having looked around the Lounge (I hardly ever come in here) it seems it needs a bit of housekeeping, I don't want it to be a case that the lunatics are running the asylum.

I rather like the vaguely After Dark flavour of The Lounge.


'Catholic priest Father Michael Seed was quoted as saying: "I went on a programme called After Dark on Channel 4 once with a prostitute, a psychiatrist and a gay man. Afterwards they all started coming to see me"[12]...'



'Saturday night's talking point was the demon drug crack, a subject which would normally leave this viewer in a state of lacquered composure. Again, however, one's hackles soon rose and one was up there, punching the air, taking sides. Unfortunately the debate was hijacked by a black musician called 'Blue', who shouted everyone down with non-sequiturs. Eventually he got up and left...'



'Since you referred to the edition in which the late Oliver Reed took part, this seems a good time to correct some of the myths which have surrounded the programme since it was transmitted on 26 January 1991.


Although Reed was not the only disruptive guest in the history of After Dark, what put this particular show into the headlines was not so much Reed's behaviour as C4's. It took the show off the air for 20 minutes, filling the space with an old documentary about coal mining. When our programme returned, Reed was still on set and still disruptive.


That night Reed's behaviour was certainly causing concern. But neither the production team nor host Helena Kennedy felt the situation was out of control. Kennedy told us the guests could themselves decide whether and when to ask Reed to leave the set....'


Etc.

Admin...no-one is being offensive...sigh...can you give an example of knowingly rude (I am assuming it is this thread as you have targetted it specifically)....people have posts deleted...given reasons they don't agree with and then have no right to reply to the complainent. I personally think some poeple need to lighten up and stop making mountains out of molehills.


(Disclamier added to say this is just my view and intends no offence to anyone)


*waits for post to be deleted*

Problem with the Lounge is that it has a strange mixture of valid/useful stuff that just happens to fall outside of ED proper and then just random silliness. Regulars get the silliness, know the personalities and prob don't get offended even when some nonsense ends up in a 'serious' thread. But I guess non-regulars don't see the tongue-in-cheekness. Then again stupid posts can be irritating when it seems they are purely done for poster's humour in an otherwise sensible thread.


Perhaps we need a playground that is registered users only so as not to offend casual browsers where people can be as silly as they like

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
