So with the recent nostalgia thread about how long people have been posting on the forum, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on some of the most memorable moments in the history of the forum.


One of my personal favourites was the daffodil thread from 2009.

Louisa.

A quality thread needs Jah Lush, Otta, ????, StraferJack, El Pibe, Jeremy and Mick Mac. And how could I forget bob and *Bob*, DulwichFox and Sue. Many more missed too. SimonM is greatly missed by everyone, and what?s happened to computedshorty?


*sigh*

A Million % right.


Easily, the wittiest and most consistently hilarious person on here over the last decade or so by a Country Mile.


I would love to know him in real life as he was superb.

I always thought he was more of a forum persona than a real person. There were a few of those back then. Very amusing, though, and came across as a sympathethic character who knew the diffence between teasing and bear-baiting and always stayed on the right side of the line.

I somehow missed Colin the Catflap Fitter thread. Sadly it disappeared before I saw it.


The privet hedge thread springs to mind and the Osbourne Stewart one as well.

And, as someone said before, the 'crushed and devalued' thread.

The Poo Thread!!! Aaahhh who remembers the Poo thread?


Quickly morphing from incredulous disgust to quick-witted hilarity it was clearly the best thread the forum had ever seen.


Such a shame that the poopetrator (who was easily identifiable at the time as being the stag of a stag do in the EDT) felt so panicked that he and his friends bullied and threatened the OP into having the thread removed.


Not before several thousand EDFers had read it of course.


😂

When Gingerbeer introduced herself on here - that thread was good. the sharks circled.


GB is well and dandy and in USA, Im a FB friend. She was great fun and loved London.

    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
