Hhmmm, I'd almost worked up the courage this month (after only six months or so of very occasional posting), but I'm working nights this week. Sorry, maybe next month.

Is that one of those Palindrome pills.....The ones that don't do anything, but make you think they are doing somthing?


I might come along tonight now, but only stay for a couple as I have a 6am start.....I should be easy to spot....all will become apparent.

Can I go now? My tolerance for contrived corporate bllsht is close to breaking point. I may not make it tonight as I will have been dragged off to the loony bin for inflicting grievous bodily with a laptop and a pack of postit notes.

Roll right trouser leg up if a chap.

Dangle handbag upside down from left elbow if a lady.


Upon meeting suspected fellow forumer, promptly spin thrice widdershins while reciting: snorky snorky belly and bum!



Or, yunno, just say something along the lines of: hello, you from the forum? We're a pretty easy bunch to spot, by and large, just cos we're usually the biggest group in the place.


(I say 'we', but I won't be there myself tonight. Hmph.)

Myself and my husband will be going this evening so if you remember me from fixing the idiots PC, I'll help you out

Errrmmmm what if you are not a girly girl & dont have a handbag??? Is there a dress code at the GC, my work colleagues said it has recently been gentrified so can I get away with smart jeans & trainer type shoes???


Looking forward to meeting you all, although a tad nervous :-$


Cheers Giddy Gecko

'K..... Hair... almost done, face half done, need to eat, brush teeth & change tops at least another 3 times, then repeat with shoes before rushing to LL to catch bus down to GC...... Almost there, losing my nerve but I should be there 8:30-9...


Cheers GG

I thought I was managing my drink pretty well last night but judging my my head this morning I may well have been talking sh one t to people last night. Very sorry and all that but once again it was great to meet everyone, including some new faces - namely:

among others.


Might see people at various sporting events this weekend as well - cheers all :)-D

:)) I had a great time thanks to everyone for persuading me out to finally meet you all.... What a lovely crowd of peeps... Thanks especially to Em for making me feel at home & introducing me to everyone & for making me laugh so bloody much.... thanks to Piers for being a perfect gentleman (I knew you would be)... Well I could go on & thank you all individually but a) it would take forever ... b) I might miss someone out & offend & 3) Oh... I am at work & should getting ready to protect the mean streets of Bermondsey


Thank again one & ALL :)-D ~ Looking forward to the next one


Cheers Giddy Gecko x

GG - sorry I didn't get to talk to you as much as I'd hope - the evening have a habit of running out of time. But I could see you were in good hands - she's a doll isn't she?

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
