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

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
