Damn! A week before pay day. Now, what with this credit crunch and whatnot I'm having to do some severe belt tightening. In fact my belt is now so tight I can barely breath. I want to go this as I haven't been in what used to be the Ivanhoe in 20 years and it looks very nice in there now, although the previous place wasn't bad, just a bit empty. Anyway, we'll see.

Well, I was going just on postcode. Although Copleston Road (I always think Copleston Copleston Copleston pie.. not quite right I know but can't help it) is just over the tracks and that's Peckham. And East Dulwich station is just a hop, skip and a jump away!


However, I'm happy to be corrected.

Giles would never set foot anywhere outside East Dulwich, serious issues with Agoraphobia that boy!!

So it's usually just a matter of lying to him, Estate Agents' blurb being very useful in that respect, I fully plan to get him north of the river on the strength of a Foxton's East Dulwich brochure alone one day

Goodness me, what a lot of threatened self-harm on the Forum today. Stop it you lot.


I don't think anyone was querying why we should go to the Hoopers, were they? It's just that it's a bit pretentious to say you're in ED* when you're in Camberwell or Peckham.


*and before I was aware of the Forum, I must admit I thought ED was just a quite nice inexpensive suburb. Now of course I have been educated and know it's an overpriced Nirvana.


Edited to put the 'a' in educated.....

Hey the Goose has a Hallowe'en night - e'en, even - at Hoopers the previous Friday :)


Not that I'm taking any opportunity to promote our events, at all :)


Siobhan Parr (aka Shivers) and Ain - both brilliant.


And to get back on topic - for once, the Goose at Hoopers doesn't clash with the forum drinks, hurrah!!!!

    • Fair points, not arguing with you on them.  What people forget is that immigrants or low skilled workers do the jobs the home population don't want to do and without those jobs being done, things very quickly grind to a halt, i.e. hospital cleaners, all very necessary, but I'd have thought the majority are on minimum wage. And Minimum Wage (35hrs/wk) isn't exactly what I'd call minimum. Just over £21K, easily double and a bit more than what I get in monthly pension income to live off.
    • Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists 
    • Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)  
    • he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms
