Sad to see the last Shuttle mission launching today.


Budget cuts, yes. Russians to supply the International space station for the next two, if not three years. Unthinkable a few years ago.


The first black president has inherited a poisonous chalice.


Spend billions on space or on welfare? Keep being the protector of the free world or withdraw into isolationalism? The world is sitting on a fulcrum. Don't delude yourself that China will ride to the rescue.


The future prosperity of the world hangs in the balance

Sorry Pafio, explain that to me again?


As I understand it Mandarin is the official language of China, in a country with hundreds of different dialects.


To have multiple variations of a language where different provinces can't understand each other is difficult for me.


I suppose, for me, it's like being in converastion with some Glaswegians or Geordies, even though they're speaking the same language.

    • East Dulwich is very well served for green spaces although that doesn't preclude the creation of more.  Just wonder where the land would come from to create new green spaces - the priority for any available land would be for housing.
    • Tried Janda. Hits and some misses. Chicken Satay & Beef Rendang were excellent and spot on. Stir fried rice noodles (Kuay Teow) were unexpectedly swimming in a peanut sauce and sadly very overcooked.   They were absolutely swamped though (assume because of the excellent recent review) so wonder if quality was affected by that… would definitely go again and try more things, menu was full of interesting sounding dishes.   
    • Just wanted to say how great it is to see so many people talking about local issues here. It really shows how passionate and engaged the community is. I moved to East Dulwich a couple of years ago and have loved seeing the area evolve. The local businesses are fantastic and it’s always nice to run into familiar faces when out and about. That being said, I think we could definitely use more green spaces for everyone to enjoy. It would be great to see more events or gatherings where neighbours can meet up and make the most of what we have. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.
    • According to someone who knows, there's a broken sewage pipe from the flats above that is leaking behind the wine/sandwiches fridges. Why it's not been shut down, I don't know, as that is effluent seeping into the booze aisle.
