Yay, good night! Particularly enjoyed chatting sensibly with Citizen, less sensibly with Franki, even less sensibly with Annaj and BN5, not at all sensibly with Michael Pickyourownwithus, gibbering at Mockers, giggling with Asset, screeching at Sean Mac and last but not at all least talking, er, handwidth :-$ with Chav and Hibbs.

hi, it was nice not to be the only newbie there, and good to chat.


did you make it to actually watch the run?

VBC - Embarrassingly I couldn't make it back from the gym in time (!) - which rightfully got me some stick. But I arrived just in time to miss Floating Onion being sick in a flower bed. Even better - Sean Macs summer sprinting gear - black boots, black jeans and a black jumper. Like a kind of Irish, Barry Road version of Johnny Cash.

Sorry to be so late back on after drinks messiness - captured painfully as always, andrewdblack, thank you!


4th July is the weekend before my massive exams, 11th the weekend after, so which do you want to see - a big bloke on edge making 1 pint last all night and sitting in the corner looking pale, or a big bloke out of control as pint number 9 gets sunk with chaser number 5, following by self doubt, self, loathing and a full dose of hugging strangers for being blurrygud?!?

Well Bignumber5 you've convinced me...put me down for the 11th!

Seriously it would be better for me - the 4th is my first Friday at new job so might get asked out for drinks (if they don't hate me on sight!). Alternatively I might like to run back to the friendly forum folk at the end of that week - so really whichever, I will be there, fingers crossed.

    • I have read conflicting accounts, some say the Peckham Rye pond chelonians are fresh water turtles others that they are red-eared terrapins. As well as terrapins, there are reports of Musk Turtles, a non native, fresh water turtle species also being released into the wild. They are also better equipped to survive our winters and do not seem to need to bask as much as terrapins. Perhaps we have both. I have not been able to see them close enough to observe markings.
    • If you look in the Gala thread someone posted a map of the event site, which has larger footprint than before. The build has already started and will now continue until the event. Dismantling is due to end 1st June, I think.
    • I have been involved with our local Residents' Association and also the East Dulwich Community Centre since the early 1980s. Both organisations initially had good attendance and representation from the local community but over the past few years so called 'community minded people' are more interested in social media/WhatsApp Groups and discussing things on line rather than meeting in person. The EDF is a very good source of local knowledge and I use it frequently for various reasons but it is no substitute for person to person engagement. I also help out at an over 55 age group which meets weekly for 2 hours and it is noticeable that the majority of attendees are those who frequently use social media sites, but have come to the conclusion that face to face contact is essential for their well being.  There are organisations in ED which put on social events, most are family friendly. for free or low cost where neighbours/friends can meet up - you do not need additional green spaces for this to happen.
    • Hello, i am looking to join or set up a shared woodworking workshop in south London. So i am looking for either a space, or other woodworkers to get going,
