Telegraphing the good news re ED

[Michael Palaeologus]

A comparatively mild start ..............

Do they know what they have let themselves in for? Telegraph readers are a tender and fragrant lot after all.

So, DM, how much will you be charging for a mention? :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

Stylish, gorgeous and now famous? Is there no end to DM's gifts...?

[Ant]

Gosh, congrats DM!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Jolly well done. I'm dead jealous.

[dulwichmum]

Thank you all so very much. I have the hang over from hell!

I will not stop until the entire planet recognises Dulwich for the fabulous locality it is.

[citizenED]

Hats off to you ma'am. Bolly all round in the QR later?

[mockney piers]

Great Stuff.

I'm particularly loving the irony of Glyn Overbury and his assertion that you'd sneer on East Dulwich.

He's a regular commenter, so it's not even an ironic (organic) plant from the EDF!!

[Jah Lush]

Grovelling sychopants the lot of you!

Well done Dulwich Mum for getting your column off the ground and up and running. I'm sure the Telegraph readers will very soon be slavering over your regular column inches for a long time to come.

[Brendan]

Gawd the image :-S

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes the Comments are amusing and seem to reflect a lack of irony and also some jealousy.

In that regard the Column has achieved one of its aims :))

Edited following second thoughts.

brilliant dm. what with this, and the new spirit of borisism, I may have to ditch the windy and head over to telegraph towers. Did get a bit distracted by this though. Should you be associating with such smut!!

[macker]

The Telepgraph are going overboard on Dulwich Mum's, this one is also there:

Odd that all these appear in the "education" section. Perhaps it's the Telegraph's version of the class struggle.

wise Ted. Some opinions are beyond the pale on this board you know.

Too late, Ted. I saw it.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I saw it too. . . Didnt think there was anything wrong with it either

[HonaloochieB]

I'm with merlin on this one.

[dulwichmum]

Whatever did Ted say? Now I am really curious...

Oh lovely Fear 'n boozin I may have to pop into Telegraph head offices later to slap some bottoms! Down with that kind of thing I say...

[Moos]

I saw it too, Ted and I second what Sean said.

But if your 2nd thoughts were out of kindness given the context of this thread, that was nice too.

[Jah Lush]

I saw it too Ted and you're entitled to your opinion but I won't snitch, honest.

[Ted Max]

Well, here goes DM. I expressed a mild opinion that although your blog/persona are amusing enough as single-joke pastiches, I don't find them all that funny. I don't quite understand the blanket-love for the writing visible on this site - and queried if this was my own lack of a sense of humour, or lack of familiarity with the targets of your satire.

I then realised that that might appear a little ungallant - given you are celebrating a national news-site deal (for which, many congratulations), and also that in general conversation expressing opinions on humour can never go further than personal preference, so I deleted.

But I probably shouldn't have deleted because I think I expressed myself better the first time round, and I may just be compounding things here.

That's about the gist of it, I think.

[SimonM]

Oh well done.....the article itself was splendid, the comments (some of them anyway) unintentionally hilarious. I too have sent a comment - how could one possibly resist?! - and hope it gets past the wielders of the red ink pen in the DT's Censorship/Legal Department....

[*Bob*]

Heartless, Ted.

Heartless and cruel.

[Jamma]

The Telegraph is a newspaper right?

I'm embarrassed for the many many brilliant and proper journalists who have written for the Telegraph down the years and even for the few decent ones left, for 'dulwich mum' and for anyone who thinks this is an acceptable use of newsprint. My heart aches for Fleet Street and all that it used to be.

But fair play to you Dulwich Mum for flogging this to The Telegraph, you clearly have a talent for something.

[HonaloochieB]

COngratulations and good luck DM.

I agree with TM and my earlier post referred to one of the comments in response to the article.
