Hilarious thread on "East Dulwich Borders" Forum

[macroban]

Substitute "Singapore" for "West East Dulwich".

[Kells]

I thought I was alone Michael. :))

[Mikecg]

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.

[Moos]

Ridonkulous is the best new word I've heard in ages. Mike, your post is a gem just for that.

However, for someone who is using direct language you're not being very specific as to what is wrong.

[Kells]

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.

[macroban]

South Dulwich? Is that Forest Hill?

[Mikecg]

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.

Sydenham Hill. But the church near me is St Stephens of South Dulwich, so who knows?!

[Mikecg]

I cant stop laughing at the things I read here, comeon now what genius coined Bugaboo Village.......LOLOLOLOLOLOLHAHAHAHAHHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its all very entertaining, why the hell didnt I start using this site before?....

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Why has my thread title been hijacked? Bleedin' 1984 all over again, innit?

[Mikecg]

1984? Sorry PGC. Sometimes I cant help but open my gob.........

"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.

[Mikecg]

OK Michael,

LOL! I've noticed, But I think some of the Ladies are better at it than the Blokes.

[dulwichmum]

Indeed, my husband is a "master of the universe" (swoon)... Is there actually still a universe left (sob)?

[macroban]

Does dulwichmum know the way to Wandsworth?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I hate I hate I hate ...

Peter Pan

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?

[????]

you been on the Sauce today Seany?

[Michael Palaeologus]

He has started to ramble. This is the way these things start ...

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

[Mikecg]

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.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I'm getting totally confused now!

Which is the affluent part of Dulwich andwhich is the effluent(?)

[Mikecg]

Who cares?.

[bigbadwolf]

Have any of you actually read what these guys talk about? As much atmosphere as a librarians stag night. I agree HeidiH and DM, Norwood flotsam.
