Hi,


I must admit that I have never been in the TCC. From outside it does not appeal to me. Perhaps we will try it one day. We used to go to Mr. Lui's on Lordship Lane but recently have been advised that they do not have food warmers! You order a banquet and expect the food to be kept warm. We have been unhappy on the last three occasions, on the last visit I had a meal accidentally poured down my back. I felt so sorry for the young girl serving.


On the subject of food... We like to go out on a Sunday night for a indian buffet, all restaurants in Lordship Lane advertise 21 items of food for this buffet meal, The Pistachio restaurant is the worst so far only making available to you 14 items, the best is the Surma who had 22 items and then brought to me Spinach and fresh prawns pan fried completely free.


Good Eh.


Regards,


Libra Carr.

Can I request that adults who post, stop using the word 'tummy', it's silly, not to say slightly creepy.


I don't usually explain why I edit, but I thought on reflection my original post could be construed as being at the very least mean-spirited, if not downright offensive.

Eh? Have I missed something here?


Has anyone else spotted the use of the word "tummy"?


:-S

Twice on this page. Two times too many as far as I'm concerned.

Colley-wobbles. Thanks for that one Michael. Another phrase that has no place in the adult lexicon.

I don't know what I'd do without you good people sometimes.

Not to mention 'mummy'

Yes, yes, yes, definitely no and you must be joking.


Crummy? There's no such word. Crumby though is perfectly acceptable.


You're welcome.

Hmm.


Merriam-Webster has 'crumby' as a variant on the usual spelling, and also gives the etymology as ME 'crumme' so think I will stick with crummy.


As for the now-deleted scrummy and yummy I fear their absence may have an injurious effect on the many amateur restaurant reviewers of ED. But thus it is written, and so shall it be.


Thank you, HonaloochieB, Deus Ex Machina.

You're welcome Moos. My own humble suggestions to replace the words we've decided, with good reason, to get rid of are 'endroolable' and 'lunchy'. Go on, give them a try.


Deus Ex Machina, eh? Terribly flaterring but I'm barely Greek and for the most part not a tragedy.


Love and best wishes.

HonaloochieB, I may have to remove your winged sandals - endroolable? And imagine the confusion were someone to find his lunch insufficiently lunchy. God's bodkin, have you thought this through?


Were it not for your long and credible history of gravely informed statesmanlike pronouncements on this Forum I'd suspect you were jesting, and at our expense too.

I know. What's he like?

See, now you've me quoting Ainsley Harrison.

Are there no shallows to which I will not stoop?

Honestly, I'm just a fool for your loving and no mistake.

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
