mainlymanly Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I lived in East Dulwich a couple of years ago, and was a massive follower of The East Dulwich Forum... when i moved back to Sydney, i was pretty surprised that nothing similar existed for sydney's northern beaches. So, a baby and a bump later, I have now decided to launch one for myself (they say imitation is the highest form of flattery!). It is definitely not a carbon copy of ED Forum, just "inspired by"... Anyway, it's only been going less than 2 weeks now so is very early days, but i just thought i'd let you know about it in case there are any northern beaches people in East Dulwich who might be interested in seeing what's going on back home! So check it out, and let me know your thoughts (don't worry, you can be critical!)http://mainlymanly.com.au Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18350-edf-inspired-forum-for-australia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I noticed they have their own version of the Barry Road Race - the "Pub2Pub Fun Run".Except of course, being Australian, their version is over 13km.

*Bob* Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 'The good room'.. celebrating a perverse Australian tradition of making one lounge considerably less comfortable than the other.. so that nobody ever wants to sit in it.

mockney piers Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 More to the point, do we all have an alter ego there yet and who will be the first to bemoan the lack of a M&S Food Hall in north beaches?

*Bob* Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 You reckon?!Next you'll be telling me there's no longer a penchant for bizarre dark leather corner sofas, colourbond fencing and a universal obsession with recessed downlighters?

Loz Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well, colourbond fencing (and, not to forget, colourbond garage rollerdoors) are as Aussie as a gum tree, so I'll grant you that one.And leather sofas in Aussie heat is a bad idea. It did takes us a while to work that one out. I fell asleep on a leather sofa once - nearly drowned in my own sweat.

mainlymanly Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ha, should have known i'd open myself up to a host of aussie jokes! Yeah, i might introduce a new section in honour of the lounge... but maybe call it "the billabong", as we all like sitting round billabongs in our budgie smuglers with a stubbie, and having a yarn about bush tucker. Michael - we do have 'curry houses', though they are called 'indian restaurants' here... and my english hubby tells me the food is no where near as good as good olde english curry houses.
