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.

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.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
