Anyway....


One of the reasons I set up this thread was to help recruit for the ED Singles Sunday Lunch Club. Lots of interest from the girls but very few boys. If there are any single guys reading this that fancy coming and meeting a load of single girls for lunch next Sunday 21 Aug at The Mag at 1pm then get in touch and I will point you in the right direction to book a spot. Should be great fun!

I shouldn't be telling you this, but the world needs to know the truth. If only so there is some lasting testament to all those young, idealistic men that have been lost to the cause.


I'm all that remains of the fifty and I haven't got much time left. The... change has started. If that doesn't get me then it's just a matter of time before my cover slips or the government 'retire' me. So sit comfortably and listen well. This post will probably be removed fairly quickly but hopefully some will learn the truth before it casually wiped out - like the rest of my unit.


In late 2009 a clandestine group of government officials met under the pretext of 'The Census Corrective Thinktank'.

This group were formed by a group of like-minded individuals within the government who had stronger concerns than most about social ghetto-isation within London.


Early projects were innocent enough - such as trying to curb the spread of single-speed bicycle ownership in Hoxton;

One hundred practical bikes, some with up to 21 gears, were introduced to the area over the course of April and May 2010. By July 2010 the synopsis made dark reading. Yeah, a few of them got ridden on the odd occasion, but at the end

of that three month period 63 bikes had been converted, 17 bikes had been removed from the area,7 destroyed and the

remaining thirteen unaccounted for.


The CCT just didn't learn. Operation Blerks would suffer a similar fate in East Dulwich.


I was one of the fifty single males selected for operation Blerks. We were all top of the single-man game. An entire

month of takeaway food wouldn't phase us, we laughed at the idea of a seven hour playstation session clothed only in

underpants and scatter-cushions were something that would never find its way into our bedsits. I myself was recruited because of my specialist food skills: Being able to create a sandwich from literally any foodstuff. I'm talking pie

sandwiches, last-nights-chinese sandwiches, the works.


We took our mission in good faith. Proud to be working for the government we left the training camp and were slowly

filtered into ED. Our cause, to re-balance the dearth of unattached menfolk in the area.


The first few weeks we lost over 20% of our number. Mostly due to sloppy mistakes such as forgetting to wear the standard issue white-gold wedding band when buying meals-for-one in local shops. Schoolboy error.


Others were things we couldn't have been prepared for. One of my cell members got lucky after work one night. It had been six months of enforced celibacy before that and he did what all single men find it impossible not to do in that situation - he spent the next day walking around like a man carrying two invisible pots of paint and grinning like a chimp.

No one who is married ever experiences that level of smugness combined with relief and he was soon spotted in Lordship Lane. Taken to the forced marriage and breeding camps like so many others.


Now it's August 2011. Again the synopsis makes dark reading. Yeah, a few of them got ridden on the odd occasion, but at the end of that period 33 singletons had been converted, 7 removed from the area, 4 destroyed and five unaccounted for.


There's only me left.


Last month my final contact went dark. I recently saw someone who I thought was him walking on Goose Green, wearing clothes designed for someone ten years younger than him, sporting a goatee, trendy specs and pushing a buggy. I never

thought the change would get him, but it always does. It always does.


I've also started noticing odd things happening within myself recently. Sometimes I'll wake up sweating, mumbling in a patronising voice, "Oedipus,don't do that to mummy...". Other days I'll wake up with a hangover and remember that at some time in the night I bought a bottle of wine. Twice its even been prosecco. Prosecco. I've found myself jogging on occasion, chopping herbs from time to time and even doing my laundry on a regular basis.


The final straw is posting on the East Dulwich Forum. The place has got me; in two weeks I'll be married to a hip-mum and have two children with very individual names.


Don't weep for me, I'm already lost...

No worries Tombowler, it's a monthly thing so come along to the next one. It will no doubt be advertised on here. If you go to the What's on in East Dulwich section there is a thread called Sunday Lunch Club for Singles. Get in touch with the girls Emma and Emily and maybe they will save you a spot for next month.

If Man City are to be genuine title contenders this season then they need to acquire a top notch playmaker in midfield.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
