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.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
