There has been much discussion about the horrors of Big Brother - a bunch of disparate people who row, bicker, flirt, fornicate, talk nonsense, chat about trivia, get drunk,throw up, keep chickens, grow veg, have philosophical debates, compare existentialist angst ..... AND we do all of this in public.


Isn's that us? Are we not Big Brother writ large? Do we not disport ourselves in public, strutting and preening to general adoration or scorn?


Are we not that which horrifies us?

Reasons this place isn't BB (and all the better for it)


1) No cash prize

2) No "fame". For 15 seconds. And even that is of the Heat variety. * shudders *

3) No producers messing with our heads

4) No general script behind the scenes with a vague direction of how things will turn out

5) Intelligent conversation happens on here. Sometimes

6) No. F***ing. Davina. McCall

You know, I kind of knew what she meant when she said that...


To add to what SeanMac said, we didn't audition and we weren't selected by a casting team specifically to annoy each other.

It's just happy coincidence that we do!

day 756 in the lounge


DM is flirting

Macroban is showing his pictures of ED 100 years ago.

Louisa has said something controversial.

A new contestant said..'there are too many kids in pubs round here'.... and the existing forumites yawned collectively.

HonaloochieB posted on the song game thread.

Tillie Trotter added a line to a limerick.


For todays task, the forumites must construct a picture of James Nesbitt using only punctuation marks.


Who goes?

3) No producers messing with our heads ADMINISTRATOR - ALL OF THEM

4) No general script behind the scenes with a vague direction of how things will turn out ADMINISTRATOR, ALL OF THEM

    • 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...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
