Hmmm...


I always suspect there's a coded message from women who make sweeping comments about what men seek in the fairer sex as a justification of their lack of success ;-).


For example I reckon there's a tendency in overbearing controlling women to claim that there's nothing wrong with their own behaviour, it's just that men want vacant bimbos. Rather than recognise that in reality they're pushy and avaricious, these women instead claim to be an 'action woman' - and rather than recognise that they're mean and self-centered, instead they claim that men have a problem when they 'go running for mummy'.


All of my mates have very beautiful, proactive, generous and capable partners - so there's no evidence that these are qualities best avoided in women....

Then there could be overbearing, selfish, action women with a bevvy of admirers and the energy to enjoy many of them.

Actually and observationlly, most of the properly intelligent men I know seem to be partnered with equally intelligent women so some sexist horrendous crappy steretypes going on here....from the ladies. Most of the men I know with 'bits of trinket fluff' (mmmmm) are themselves of the dense variety.

It takes all sorts Hugo. There are plenty of men who like it that way :))

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
