Well done wee quinnie!

I really admire anyone who has the discipline to complete a distance learning course, particularly so sucessfully, it's a huge achievement.


The biggest achievement of all is that you have been working form home on your OU course for all this time and only reached 500 posts. That is truely remarkable!

Don't you believe it, that's the easy bit.

The hardest bit is relentlessly doing the dull grind for the rest of your natural life, in some cause you do not necessarily believe in.


Someone with a double first will no doubt grasp that fact more quickly than the rest of us who never had the where-with-all to obtain such an enviable qualification.


I admired your wit and intelligence long ago, and never expected anything less. Well done Asset.

SteveT - doesn't that depend on what you do for a living?


I didn't expect to enjoy my job as much as I do - it's turned a lover of lazing around chatting rubbish to my mates all day, into a workaholic within a few months!


The adrenaline buzz from getting emergency injunctions 2 hours before a client is due to be deported and the lows when you fight like a lion but still lose a case are totally addictive and suit my bipolar, obsessive personality to a T!!


Plus the buzz you get when new House of Lords cases mean you can win the appeal is great. I love the House of Lords Judges and the Court of Appeal are pretty cool too - they save our bacon on more than a few occasions.


Never do a job you don't like - unless you really have no choice because you couldn't eat or something. Life is too short to spend most of it waiting for the bits of time you get off from your job.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Sue · Posted

      The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted)  said "The streets round here are a disgrace".

      BYO restaurants

      By Sue · Posted

      We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with  positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I  (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any.  I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise  For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of  really fresh lightly cooked vegetables.  The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal  was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from  an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery  was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and  wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.

      GALA 2026

      Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
