New In Town

[Nomis&Nerual]

My girlfriend and I have are in the process of moving to the area, we are in our mid 20's and would like to know everything theat dulwich has to offer? Any info would be much appreciated!!!!

[Pearson]

Is it me, or are folk getting really lazy these days?

I mean, starting a thread asking people to tell them what's good or where to go just smacks of complete laziness to me.

Hey, why don't you tell us what you like and we'll Google that for you and then post it back up here so you can see.

Or better still, just search yourself. Google isn't that difficult to use. really.

On a lighter note, welcome to ED!

[HelBel65]

About to move into the area too. Note to self - don't ask here for any recommendations from the locals!

Don't be so tetchy or as immature as to judge all the locals on my one post!

Really was just saying, can you not use google?

The OP doesn't even state what they like or dislike?

Yet they expect to sit back and expect us to submit our

favorite things about ED to them for their approval... weird!

Ok, i like crack dens. there's a good one, and it's next door to where you live??

Come on. I'm a perfectly reasonable person when asked a reasonable question.

[Pearson]

OK, no hard feelings.

Try this link, should help you with your question:

Welcome to ED both of you. Don't worry, you'll find Pearson with pipe, slippers and a greyhound in the corner of the Plough bearing a sign that reads 'Resident Grump!' ;-)

ED has lot's to offer. You'll find lot's of things to do in the What's Section. Whether you are looking for sports, or social groups, or gigs to attend. And this forum has a forum drinks at one of the many pubs in the area regularly as well.

[Pearson]

Thanks DJKQ!

I am grumpy that is obvious....

Truth be told, i'm in my fourth week of non-smoking and enjoying it!

(even though those around me are not!!).

[Narnia]

For the hell of it I think I'll move to somewhere I don't know anything about. It must be exciting.

I'm into week 3 Pearson. How are you coping?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I haven't given up at all and loving it. Well done for giving a boost to The Goose is Out!

[Jeremy]

Nomis&Nerual - what are you interested in finding out about? The best pubs/bars? Retaurants? Sports? Community/social groups? Good shops?

+1, not a bad idea.

A full month to the day. (doing the Champix way)

Apart from little outbursts like above,

it's been really easy!

*touch wood*

How about you Narnia?

[Dorothy]

Oh well done on giving up the smerks, you clever quitters. It is very nice to be free of the obligation to smoke, I can truly say, 2 years, 4 months and 1 day down the line. Do be wary about the weight gain though - that really isn't any fun. I gained about 4lb (not much really) on *each* of the seven occasions I've given up - and now I am a reet porker :(.

Nomis and Nerual, yes ED has lots to offer. The search button on this forum is really good, so if you search for "new to the area" or "we have just moved" then doubtless you will uncover a number of previous threads on this same subject. Also try the Whats On section. And look at ED Businesses and Trades for general gossip about our eateries and pubs.

[Alec John Moore]

Hi N&N, I think this thread might give you some insight into what ED people are up to:

I like the Green adn Blue book club which I found through this forum.

I've stopped the champix as it was making me really sleepy. I still got the urge to try one but my teenage son was home until recently and really encouraged me to give up. I just wonder when this urge will go away. Sooner the better.

[Pearson]

Think i'll be stopping Champix this weekend.

Did you cut down or just stop Champix

I heard it's best to cut down..?

After so long off the ciggies you can't

spoil all that good work... keep at it!

Anyhow, well done you!

[Administrator]

Well done, but please stay on topic.

[PeckhamRose]

Nevertheless that was a great link there lmgtfy.com, pearson!

Welcome to the area. You also have great parks, specially Peckham Rye Park and of course nearby or nearby ish you have Dulwich Park Sydenham Woods Crystal Palace Park Nunhead Cemetery and others!

[eucalyptus]

Welcome! You've picked a lovely area to move to - apologies for the unbeliveably rude comment above.

There is a great farmers market every sunday morning at Dulwich college and some lovely parks, - make sure you explore Dulwich village, it has a lovely pub with garden bar. im sure that just by walking around, exploring and looking a posts on here you will find out interesting things to do in the area.

I hope you're not put off by the disgusting reaction your post received.

[Narnia]

By the way N&N, if you lose anything in the area like cash for example you may well find that someone here has found it and is looking after it for you. So remember to post here.

Also, one persons rude and disgusting comments are anothers sense of humour. Anyone who is really out of order gets banned.

Actually Eucalyptus I find your post rather 'distgusting', imo you have taken all of the above comments/posts way out of context, I feel you really need to lighten up.

[HonaloochieB]

Welcome to ED N&N, you're just in time there's a WAitrose and/or an M?S Food upening up soon.

[SimonM]

A small point - the Farmers' Market at Dulwich College is generally only held on the 4th Sunday of each month, not every Sunday

Hadn't noticed that :)

If you're into folk/roots/blues, check out the Goose!

(But I haven't updated the website since Friday's gig, ooops :)) )

[camberwellbeauty]

Remember to take your own watch and/or clock if you're going near the library

[Ladymuck]

And we have our own football club.

Welcome indeed to ED, Nomis&Nerual!
