Ive lived in Dulwich fo 16 years now, admitidly ive kept a low profile, and I cant beleive what im hearing. Its ridonkulous, surley there is more to life than the shenanagins that gets talked about on this forum, dont get me wrong, I love a bit of gossip but its a bit like stepford round here, fishwife central more like, its hilarious. I know some of you are very bright, I know some of you are highly educated, and its a deadcert that some of you haunt the coridors of power, however I have never in my life experienced anything like this place. Im not being confrontational in anyway, please forgive my direct language, its just I feel your energies could be directed into a much more bennifical and productive pastime. If you organized you could end up running the country.
Mikecg, it's entirely my fault. I wasn't trying to be confrontational, I didn't know about the existence of the West Dulwich Forum until today, but I didn't think I'd come across a thread like that. I'm relatively new to Dulwich, and I love the fact that forums like this are there, so any newcomers can get to know people. Regardless of whether they're east/west/south or north.
No disrespect, Im quite new to this forum, and I did not anounce my arrival, and you dont have to listen to my ramblings its just there is a them and us kind of mentality on many different fronts, from how close you live to peckham to who owns what, well almost. Well I am a bloke.

maybe they meant 'abceses' but then they would be an 's' short wouldn't they???


What a hi-bl**dy-larious post

"its just I feel your energies could be directed into a much more bennifical and productive pastime. If you organized you could end up running the country"


This is a form of stress relief. We do actually run the country in our day jobs.


There is nothing more productive than talking b@llocks. We do it well.

I hate I hate I hate ...

But no.. I also hate any accusations of a "them and us" - it suggests a homogenous "us" or "them" which a reading of anythread makes clear doesn't exist - the forum is often accused of arguing about anything it possibly can.. arguing can't exist without differing opinions so how can it be "us and them"


Plus... mikecg has assimilated quite seamlessly into the forum - ach I just don't get it. There are SOME people who don't like.. say... peckham. This does not mean the EAST DULWICH FORUM doesn't like Peckham and ANYONE WHO DISAGREES is wrong. I love Peckham... so there. Some others on here don't. What are ya gonna do huh?

It isn't one of the more eloquent posts on here is it?


So be it. I often struggle with this particular point anyway. I remember quids mentioning the stepford word before and giving him a right old ear-bashing. He took it well

Thing is Sean,


It's a perception, that's all it is, of some of the types of people. not everybody is like that here I know that, one of my first experiences here was a conversation with DM, not that thats a bad thing, However after my encounter I found that I am not alone in my opinion of the type of person she is, Harmless really I suppose, it's all a bit of an act, an alter ego perhaps. You cant take it too seriousley. There are others around, but that's what makes a place like this great don't ya think's.

    • If you want to talk about tax you have to contextualise it - this is not a highly taxed country but it is a country that needs money - so what do you propose?   if you dk t want to live under a left wing govt that’s your choice but how do we get from left wing govt to Russia?   you make no sense 
    • Nope, not "complaining or moaning", stating an opinion. Tax - yes we are taxed to the hilt, the threshold is £12570, Govts not increasing this means more and more people get dragged into paying tax. HMRC are a joke, even if you're below that figure they take tax that has to be claimed back as its wrongly deducted.  Inflation is supposedly dropping, the reality in the shops is the total opposite, week on week almost, prices increase, utilities increase etc. I don't want to live under a left wing govt, if you do, suggest you try living in Russia.
    • But only the first g in garage is a "hard" g? The second one is a "soft" g whether you pronounce it "j" or (not sure how to write it, but even softer, like a cross between "sh" and "j"?) So surely Malumbu's hard g in Farage would be like the first g in garage, not the second one? I can't believe I am wasting my time writing this irrelevant drivel 🤣
    • I'm currently on a little mission to recommend Jovaner, who I've recommended here before, and who has done lots of work for me over the years. The scope of works he can take on, and his skills, have expanded over the years. He now comfortably undertakes full house renovations, including bathroom and kitchen fit outs (he is currently doing my bathroom as we speak). He is a talented carpenter, tiler, plumber and decorator, and has the highest standards of any tradesperson I've every worked with (have a look at the kitchens and furniture that my company - West & Reid - makes for a frame of reference for my standards, if I say so myself! 🙂 Jovaner always meets and goes beyond my expectations. There aren't many people as multi-talented as him, and very few with such high standards. He is the first person I turn to when I need work done in my house - I've waited 6 months for him to do my bathroom, as he was the only person I wanted to do it. I wouldn't hesitate to get him to renovate my entire house if it needed it!  He is also the hardest working person I have ever met, and completely trustworthy, as I am sure multiple other recommendations on this site will attest to.  If you are wondering why I'm going to so much trouble to recommend him it's simply because he's so good, and every time he does a new job I am reminded of how good he is. But he constantly undersells himself, underprices his work, and has such attention to detail and such high standards that he rarely earns what he deserves for the work he does!  His number is 07429171373.  Happy to chat to anyone who wants the recommendation in person (07745553232) Malcolm
