AM do you never get public transport anywhere? That's when I do most of my reading, on the way to and from work.


And you seem to have watched most of the world cup. That's a lot of time that you could have chosen to read in. Not saying you SHOULD have, that's up to you, but I don't like people saying they have no time. We all have 24 hours in a day, it's our choice how we use it.

Yeah for the chimney starter. Wood chips in a smoking box ?


I'm having a great deal of joy from my new Prakti charcoal burner

Having your beard trimmed by the barber, is a thing of joy. If you haven't tried this, then grow one and go see


Mind you when someone's waiting behind you and you've had your hair cut. Then gone on for the beard trim you can see the resigned look of "f*ck really, how long does all this hair and beard sh*t take"

Can't say I'll ever experience that joy, as my beard growing ability is probably best described as "pathetic", but when I was travelling last year I got my hair cut in Vietnam at a stall set up in a roadside market area. Not being up to speed with the price of a haircut I agreed a price (a whole US$2) that was, apparently, a little generous. So, the fellow threw in a full shave, old fashioned style with a cut-throat razor - my first one. I felt like a right lord of the manor.


Well, if you ignore all the cars and motorbikes tootling past a few metres away.

      Nursery Recommendations

      By turtle1409 · Posted

      We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly.

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By Rockets · Posted

      Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉

      Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL.
