Is East Dulwich Becoming Too Posh? (Lounged)

[mockney piers]

And i've an inkling you've been to blarney at some point, judging by your prolific writing. My own dear lady is one of the little people too.

*and i really am spanish.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Half Irish and half welsh children.

Ooh there's enough there for a conference (a posh one)

[bald marauder]

Eh? You're Spanish Mockney? I didn't pick that up - creia que usted estaba un estudiante de espanol. !Que sorpresa!

[mockney piers]

Hace tanto tiempo desde ha sido estudiante, merodeador calvo . S?, nac? en Majadahonda cerca de Madrid. Un mockney madrile?o, si quieres ;)

*edited for desperately rusty spanish*

[Mark]

or as Google translates:

"For as much time from habia student, bald merodeador. If, I were born in Majadahonda near Madrid. A Madrilenian mockney, if you want"

[Polly D]

You - a bald stalker Mockney?

sorry, just got it ... bald maurader

[mockney piers]

Are you cruelly pointing out my receding hairline polly :(

[bald marauder]

Haha! (lol) I think the calvo reference is to my own nickname, Polly.

I can't imagine El Mockney being a stalker!

[Polly D]

Lo siento Mockney! I haven't quite woken up yet ... Zzzzzzzzzz, might toddle off to la sala de silencio now.

[mockney piers]

Sala de Silencio.

I like that alot, it has an extra gravitas that might prevent people littering it with jazz mags and blow up dogs!

[Michael Palaeologus]

I burnt the jazz mags - the blow up dogs are nothing to do with me.

[Huguenot]

They went hand in hand, as it were...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Yuk.

[dulwichmum]

What pray tell is a Jazz mag?

Mother of God!!! (makes the sign of the cross)

[Chartwell]

I have never come across the term jazz mag.

Not wishing to lower the tone any further - but I'm going to - did jazz mag start out as something else? An 'i' replacing he 'a' in jazz? Or is that something altogether different?

[Ant]

Ah, but what about a jazz cigarette (etymologically speaking)?

Also: grumble mag, grot mag, etc.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Clearly we can safely say that East Dulwich is NOT becoming too posh.

[dulwichmum]

Ana.......... pass some smelling salts.

[mockney piers]

Haha, I thought the first sentence was intentionally funny.

No Jazz is genuinely a term for the act of interaction between lala and woowoo.

I believe the i a replacement term is also allowed.

[bald marauder]

Well I've heard of a jazz mag (though no idea of the etymology) but never heard of a jizz mag - did you make that up?!

[Richard Weekes II]

Well, I suppose if there was more water about we could take a boat or a ship or a canoe to see if we could go Port Out Starboard Home (P.O.S.H)

Maybe more coffee houses should be opened on LSL where old gentlemen could go for a game of chess. Would that also make ED posh?

New tea room on Lordship Lane = East Dulwich - 'posh'. One lump or two, 'mon amis'?

[Brendan]

You know I?ve been thinking about this. How can living in 3 bed terraced housing or split level 2 bed flats be posh?

Pah! Some perspective here people. Take a stroll around Knightsbridge.
