Ah, one of those old fashioned unreconstructed geezer types like that oaf in Life On Mars. Hell, maybe backwards is the way forwards. Lets be honest, we all know that secretly all these career ladies are yearning for a life at home swaddled in domestic bliss. Who needs another power point presentation about Far East penetration when you could be at home being taken roughly over the coal scuttle whilst polishing the brass. Bring back Victorian values!

You certainly like to be controversial, don't you Mr Yard. ;-)


I suppose that the thing is - if a woman decides to elect for the power point presentation, she can still polish the brass whilst doing other things. If you were to select "domestic bliss" as you so eloquently put it, that would generally be the end of the career. I know which I'd rather...

I have heard tell that there might be certain entertaining ladies to be occassionally found down by the roundabout in the EDT. Some may be harder conquests than others though it would seem that a late snatch might be your best ploy as their resolve may well have weakened. (Parents take note on your duty to advise your wee apples as to the pitfalls of public intoxication.)

Alternatives are hosting a back to back viewing of "Sex in the City - Season 6" at the ED Warehouse or if you're more callous dressing up as Barny and loitering outside JoJo Maman Bebe.

Good luck, if you do succeed you may well be able to make a packet by marketing your methods to the legions of singletons struggling to lead a carefree existence in the stroller-jammed by-ways of ED. Should you fail you might find richer pickings in Hastings.

Oh, I don't know, Kalam... there's something about an old-fashioned hairy man that's rather taking.


I'm amused by the fact that this thread is in the 'East Dulwich' aka the Serious section of the Forum - after all, it is a local issue - but it's sister thread is in the Lounge.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
