people in rush hour with wheeled luggage. If you must drag those bloody things around PLEASE look around you to check you are not inadvertantly knee-capping or toe-amputating those around you


Here Here.


plus:


non London commuters waltzing along the platforms/ stopping as soon as they step off buses/ trains etc

people reading whilst walking and walking straight into you


grrrr...off to find an uninhabited city to work in!

but it's a risky game, fare-dodging. Plenty of times have I had my oyster checked on the 12 route - and I don't use it that often - and I've seen quite a few unlucky sods get stung by fines.

I got caught on the 12 on a sunny sunday afternoon (after thinking "surely there won;t be any inspectors on the bus on a Sunday, and a day like this?). Only had 50p on the card :-$

I was only going a couple of stops (so serves me right for being lazy) but it was hot and I was tired (ok, hungover). Never got a fine though. Maybe because I had at least attempted to touch in?

I always pay now though!

well, I took the DLR last month out to Canary Wharf for a meeting - I was running late and forgot to touch in at Tower Hill. I changed at Shadwell and tried to find a card reader, but couldn't see one on the platform so just got on the train anyway, thinking I'd be alright. Of course, ticket inspector hops on as soon as the doors start to close!


But I went straight to him and explained and he let me off! Phew!

On-line booking - the BM on-line booking had NO tickets for the Terracotta Army until 6th April - make a telephone call and there are lots of tickets available. I've had the same problem with theatre tickets - on-line the availability is sh1te - make a simple telephone call and you've got seats.

...people on the bus holding loud, long and irritating conversations. Don?t they realise what they?re doing? Tonight coming home on the 185, bloke next to me was terminating a not too harmonious relationship with his boyfriend ? (if they speak like that to each other, it?s definitely time to move on!); man behind me yakking about some financial deal all the way from Victoria to Goose Green and then someone else in front joined in ? calling all his friends about his nicked bike and relating the same tale 3 times! Ban all conversations over 2 minutes on buses!!

And one more?everyone assuming just because you?re welsh that you come from ?the valleys?!

I was listening to a guy's mobile conversation on the train the other day. Sounded at first like a relationship drama,


"And then she said she was going back to her kids" "No, I'm fine" "Honestly, I'm fine" etc etc. (I'm very nosey when it comes to these things.)


And then it took a worrying turn "So, are we gonna f*@& him or what? I've got his address" Argh!

I hope "he" didn't get a beating...

Pedestrians who walk in the middle of Greendale cycle path and then moan when they have to move aside for me (heres a clue; the cycle path has a picture of a bike on it and speed humps). Also people who walk their dogs along the cycle path but dont grab them when they see me and other cyclists coming thus causing a danger to cyclists and their dogs.

    • This reminds me of "the grasshopper" at Westerham when a tabloid paper did an exposé about their swinger parties (many many years ago)  The result was that every man and his dog went there to see if they could get in to a party. Pub did amazing business but think the club may have closed as a result.  Bet the Telegraph article will be great publicity for belair sex parties and every pervert under the sun will invade Dulwich village and the square (of shame) 
    • I find Fusion are Horrendous. When they ran Forest Hill pools it was always (although a new facility at the time) really grubby. Overflowing filthy toilets, dirty changing rooms, slippery floors and filthy swimming pool with cloudy water and Lifeguards who did'nt give a damn about teens  jumping in the pool and making trouble pushing and splashing adult and elderly swimmers. It was grim and I cancelled my membership and joined Dulwich leisure Centre because I got tired of complaining about changing rooms that smelt of p**s and used sanitary products left on the floor...and nothing changing..new managers would come promise improvement and making zero difference. In the End they lost the contact and FHP is run by Better and it really is....Better! I'm now happy to go there its well staffed, clean and well run. Unfortunately unless Fusion loose the contract for the Lido I fear things won't improve.
    • Hello East Dulwich Forum,  I am looking to rent or borrow a high quality DSLR or mirrorless camera. I am trustworthy resident of East Dulwich who is starting an events company. I want to shoot some food trucks at an event for my website. I am happy to pay to borrow and will leave whatever deposit needed.  Let me know 🙂  Anthony 
    • I've now read the Telegraph article. The journalist Kate Wills @katewills stole the closing "jazz [jizz] and [spit] roast" gag from David Peckham. If the Telegraph's geriatric readers got the joke they'd choke on their kippers. As someone who walks right past Belair House at weird hours (because I am weird), the sex parties are a lot less bothersome than other events Belair House puts on: for example, the club nights when the promoters illegally block parking on Gallery Rd in front of Belair House, when bouncers are posted on the front gates blocking access to a public park, and when the pavement and verges are strewn with flyers and booze bottles. Ms Waterhouse and Heaven Circle: you're welcome back any time. There's a bunch of antisocial fuckers plagueing Belair House - but it's not the sex parties...
