East Dulwich Forum - review of the year

[SeanMacGabhann]

Mockney Piers - David Schwimmer

CWALD - Kathy Burke

Keef - Jack Black

Bagpuss - Helene Bonham-Carter

(thinking about it, isn't the script the same thing as The Quiet Room)

[Keef]

You're not the first person to suggest Jack Black for me, and I guess in many ways it's fair, and a lot of people like him and find him funny...

I f**king hate him!!!!!!!!! (6)

[SimonM]

Foxton's salesman - Ricky Gervais

James Nesbitt - Timothy Spall

Timothy Spall - James Nesbitt

Woman with buggy - Olivia Coleman

[SeanMacGabhann]

oops Keef - didn't mean to offend (it was the music link wot swung it for me)

This kind of excecise is always going to risk this though isn't it? I shan't say anything about Sean Hughes ;-)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Sean Hughes is v funny and sexy. If the hat fits ...

[Keef]

Not offended Sean, like I say, you're not the first... He probably pulls more chicks than I do too ;-)

David Schwimmer is quite good for Mockney, but I was trying to think of someone tall and thin...

Boris Johnson - Maurice

[Alan Dale]

Keef- Animal off the Muppets

Sean - Edward Woodward (The equaliser)

*Bob* - Danny Larue

[Keef]

Right, so as to highjack this thread no further, please see East Dulwich - The Sitcom.

Back on track, I remember Maurice joining us, and asking if The Grove could move to Dulwich.

[citizenED]

That was a pretty good entrance - and Maurice has since become an essential Edfer.

What about the thread about the scratched Porsche! certainly caused a lot of heat. One guy took real exception and threw all his toys out the pram and promised not to come back and the other threw a hissy fit before warming to the banter and sort of climbing on board. (I'm deliberately not searching that thread to see if I remember things correctly)

[Michael Palaeologus]

At times the Quiet Room simply saved my sanity.

[mightyroar]

I loved the limericks. 42 pages and counting...including these gems:

There was a new shop named Moxton

that moved to East Dulwich from Hoxton

Their slippery eels..

Resembled baby seals

But was soon bought out by Foxton

When Dulwichmum had a book launch

she had to work hard on her paunch

So she stopped eating cake

For cake eating sake

And stuck with the creamy blancmange

Maurice wants to know about crack

He's hoping that in Santa's sack

There'll be uppers and downers

and a few Golden Browners

A spliff a few Es and some smack

[Dr De Soto]

And how about that EDF Scrabble Game somebody spotted in November?

The Limericks are brilliant, but the jokes kill me. I love it when the little red 'new' comes up by the jokes. You are a funny lot!

They have never proved anything about Shakespeare and the monkey.

Keef - you post-a-holic, you! ;-)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just for Brendan:

Russell Grig calculates that if a monkey types one key at random, per second, the average time to produce the word 'the' is 34.72 hours. To produce the 23rd Psalm would take on average around 1017 years.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

"74,593 people visited this site" was that individuals or total visits? It must be total individuals I suppose.

[lozzyloz]

Lots of potential voters . . .

Well the Psalms are attributed to David and Saul but not being familiar with their specific cases I cannot comment on how much time they had on their hands or indeed how many monkeys they had in their employment. Although I believe David left Saul a few wives as inheritance. They lived in what is predominantly citrus country anyway.
