Ronny Abraham, distinguished jurist and judge at the International Court of Justice, enjoying a half bottle of red wine at Le Cave de Bruno.


Charlie Brookes (ex-EastEnders) filling a bright red, heavily modded Lambretta at Goose Green petrol station.


Aviva CEO Amanda Blanc in the queue at Stephanie's one morning. I did not think it was a good idea to raise my scandalously high renewal notice with her, as neither of us had had our morning coffee.

This one is real:

Lovely Cockney sparrer, Lorraine Chase, alighting from bus (185) just past Superdrug, looking fantastic in eighties garb one afternoon last week

 

I could have sworn I shared the lift with her at DMK station before Christmas and having seen this post can only assume I was right!

I left East Dulwich and have since returned 10 years later and this thread is still on the first page of the forum. I need some time to process this...

 

It's like a mirage

The closer you get to Dog Kennel Hill, the more you realise that the famous person you thought you are seeing isn't actually there.

Hopefully later today someone will believe they have seen Zelensky shopping for fighter jets....

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Dulwich Park at the weekend

 

She and Jason Statham have a house up College Road somewhere. Seen them both very occasionally.


Have to say a lot of the names on here I have no idea who they are and would never recognise them anyway!

Sadly far more likely to find Boris shopping for houses (or mistresses or loan guarantors...)

  • Haha 1

I admit this may be more notable than famous IYSWIM but: Nobel prize winner for economics Angus Deaton, drinking coffee outside Romeo Jones.


Also this week: Strictly host and singer Alesha Dixon, buying Pom Bears at the cafe in Dulwich Park.

Interior designer to the stars, Nicky Haslam, wearing a lovely camel coat. I considered asking him where he got it, but I'm probably not wealthy or cool enough to buy it.


Also, Baroness "Come on, Arlene" Foster of Aghadrumsee DBE, trying to pay with cash in Redemption. I did not see whether the payment was in exchange for ash or just a coffee.

I heard that Siouxsie Sioux has moved to Dulwich...As a saddo fangirl I live in hope of spotting her!

There is hope yet! She's a friend & client of ours at The Wingless Bird.
We've been cat sitting while she's touring for the first time in 10 years.

Incredible to see her up there on stage.

Either you are on the lookout for famous people all the time, Dulwich is a magnet for famous people or you're like the bloke in the chip shop who swears he's Elvis. 🤔

Well, this is incredible news. I have told the Baron and he is beyond excited!

The Sun refers to the reformed football hooligan but just talks about the violence.  Are you a fan of the 'reformed junkie and racist' too - Roy Larner, who I witnessed on Rye Lane giving his unpleasant views on Muslims?

He doesn't fight at football anymore so he is a reformed football hooligan, whatever your high and mighty views of his past may be. I'd far sooner run into him on a petrol forecourt for a chat that most folk round here who's idea of chewing the fat is having a whinge about someone parking in the wrong place or the fees of the local private school. 

The Sun article glorified football violence.  If he is a reformed character helping sick children in a hospital or re-homing orphan animals then I'd love to know.  Otherwise hurting people for entertainment, as opposed to say joining a boxing or martial arts club, sounds like he is (or was) a psychopath,

As for your disdain for locals you can look at it two ways.  Very similar to football.  In the past it was real and edgy but with violence (be it the Old Den or Lordship Lane).  Gentrification has it's annoyances, commoditisation of football has in part destroyed the game I love.  I find it hard to go to Dulwich Hamlet with all the recent newcomers who have little or no footballing heritage.

But I welcome the safety and quality of both football and Lordship Lane.

OK off to the best pub in Britain (the Blythe) to watch moneybags state funded Manchester City in the semi.  Join me and we can continue the chat.  There will be Millwall and Palace watching but no bother!  And a pound a pint cheaper than SE22 (and a real pub, the Castle is the last one left in Dulwich).  Heavens there are about four different threads in my post.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
