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 had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents. 
    • There's a place for donating shoes outside the dry cleaners opposite Judith Kerr School on HML

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
