Foxy realises that Tesco's new scanning system has at least one benefit...

Yet ANOTHER camper appears on Upland Road

*sighs*

*Edited to save space on admin server thingy

* Public service announcement *

Please excuse the interruption but I recently had to clean out the forum's database as it was 10Gb in size, to do this I had to remove all images that were over a year old. That's why old images are no longer appearing but the database is now only 3Gb in size so the forum's less likely to fall over because of it. A small price to pay but sorry the original images aren't at the start of this thread.

So that's most of the local history material uploaded by many contributors.

Start a blog then. Or pay the server costs on admin's behalf? Or stop whinging.

I did divvy up on the last request for a server upgrade (perhaps you were not around at the time), I've paid for a banner advert on the EDF, and made a donation for each one off advert.

I notee your priorities for the EDF. Silly pictures of interest to a few rather than material such as the photos uploaded by computedshorty.

I understand you are leaving East Dulwich soon.

Forum got to function though ain't it.

Plus a forum like this isn't exactly designed to be a useful reference for anything much.

I agree, set up a website or a blog and talk to computedshorty to get access to his treasure trove.

If you'd like advice on how or even help I'd be happy to do so.

Do it quick, I'm leaving East Dulwich...well, actually I left 9 years ago, but I'm leaving for further afield in a couple of months.

Not sure D_C is is he?

[david_carnell]

I have previously donated to the forum although I wasn't aware this was a contest on the depths of our wallets. Especially given I'm not the one complaining about anything I've posted being removed.

And if you want to wage battle on our respective interests then I'm happy to front up against your endless campaign of postcode and geographic pedantry.

Not for the first time, your sources are innaccurate. I'm not going anywhere to the best of my knowledge although as I live nr Bellenden Road I'm unsure if I've ever actually lived in East Dulwich. If only there was someone who could tell me?

I was merely pointing out that your persistent gloom and tetchy aside at the thought that some of your historic map pictures may be being removed to allow the forum to remain functional was uncalled for. And that if you were that interested in preserving them for public viewing, perhaps a personal blog might suit your needs.

[El Pibe]

in fact host them on flickr and just embed them on the forum and it'll never be a problem again

Er, is this still the 'silly pictures' thread?

In an effort to be recognised by even more people, Foxy increases his repertoire of magic tricks...

"As you can see it's just an ordinary box..."

As the age old meat v veg debated rages on a new patch, the manager at Moxons feels left out...

"There is another way you know..."

[El Pibe]

Is Moxon's managed by Clive Dunn? Cool

Actually I've always imagined ED History to look like that.

At the EDF's Meet Your Favourite Poster drinks night, everyone's illusions of HonaB being a Wildean, louche, bohemian man-about-town, complete with wide brimmed hat and flowing cape, are shattered when he turns out to be a trainspotter called Bert living in a bedsit in Penge...

''No I haven't seen the R class steam locomotive number R707'' said numbers feigning interest...

Meanwhile at the CGT...

''Wha'ppen?!...one mention that tonight's special is Chilli Con Carne, and the place clears...''

[maxxi]

Local folk musicians realise there IS a way of being discussed on the CGF...

[red devil]

PGC, fed up with the same old Hoover attachments, realises that there's much more fun to be had with a 'sonic screwdriver'...

[red devil]

Who's turn is it tonight to pee in Foxy's London Pride while he's not looking?...

Red Devil illustrates his point about the dangers of anthropomorphism

Ok *Bob* and EP, you can come out from under those sheets...

[El Pibe]

*Bob*'s the stumpy wizened one as he fast approaches his old age of 36, yeah?

[*Bob*]

I'm not married so I guess you're the one on the right.

Grainne17, disgusted with the poor hygiene ratings of ED eateries, decides to take matters into her own hands, alhough she's yet to work out how to actually eat the food...
