No rotting corpses in here please. Terrible stink. Although there is a lovely open fire in the middle of the room if you want to cremate yourself. Saves us the trouble.

*Reaches for large balloon glass and pours self enormous brandy, takes a seat in large armchair by the fire and tosses a few logs on to get a good fire burning.*

Pours large port and brandy into balloon glass and profers it to KK. This really will settle your stomach if your feeling a bit Tom Dick. You must listen to Doctor Lush, it's for your own good I can assure you. Now get it down your Gregory and you'll be right as ninepence soon enough.
and the Withnail & I quotes. Yes, it must have been bad as all my lovely Chateau Marguax '61 has gone. Oh well there's always the '47. Good job I've hidden that though. Save for a rainy day. Oh shit! is it raining? All this brandy has give me a bit of a wobbly on. Must sit back down in my armchair. Grabs decanter pours another.

Oh Jesus! It?s like my birthday party all over again.


*Ducks behind the pastel-pink, armor-plated chaise lounge. (delivery from Argos last week. He didn?t just make ships you know)*


Sorry Jah but you know what it?s like. You get in, your pineapple costume has been ripped in five places and the ringmaster has had it away with your ornamental banana tree. AGAIN! It is a situation that can only be solved by drowning one?s sorrows in the most expensive alcohol one can steel.


*Spies a wayward bottle of Woodford Reserve and one of dulwichmum?s discarded feather boas under the chaise lounge*

*Soaks boa in whiskey and stuffs it in the neck of the bottle. Sets it alight and lobs makeshift Kentucky Cocktail in the general direction of his aggressor.*

*Ducks back down with fingers in ears, humming Little Deuce Coupe (amazingly managing the 3 way harmonies all on his own.)*

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
