Muley Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ah DM, I can picture you taking a turn around the quiet room on a Pashley Princess, sporting a floral print sundress, a G&T and a huge handbag, but winning an Olympic gold or the Tour de France? Mais non!Oh, BTW Dulwich Village Idiot, this is how it's done. Watch and learn...

dulwichmum Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Red Devil sweetie, I noticed that some of those nudist cyclists were on BORIS BIKES! OHMYGOD!There is a great big line of those putrid bikes outside my office building! I shall have the aupair use Cillit Bang on the saddles. God only knows what sort of vile infection hazard they now pose. I have been vomiting for the last hour.Does anyone have Boris' mobile phone number? I deleted and blocked him from my mobile phone after the incident with the false tan watermark he left on my hot tub. He is beyond vain!

Alan Medic Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Can someone explain this concept to me.......'commonwealth'. Bit late in the day I know. Why would you want to share anything with your previous oppressor?

El Pibe Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 aah, come on alan, we're all mates now http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/duke-of-kent-lays-wreath-honouring-easter-rising-dead-29235980.htmlBut to answer your question briefly, i imagine most chaps who signed up to it were probably eton and oxford educated chaps who'd done a stint in the city, I doubt the little folk (the newly oppressed rather than leprechauns obviously) had a say. ;) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/47178-commonwealth-games/page/2/#findComment-770987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I have just discovered that The Commonwealth Inistitute closed down 12 years ago. Remember school trips there as a kid. That's what I always think of when I hear the word commonwealth.

Bhoy in Singapore Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Oh I loved that place when I was a kid. Remember the arctic/antartic scene? I swore it felt colder there even though, in reality, it was the same temperature as the rest of the place.

nashoi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was talking about this place to some friends just the other day, explaining to an Australian that before Neighbours the flying doctor exhibit was pretty much most of what I knew about the place. I was shocked to find none of the other brits present (none originally from London or SE) had ever heard of it. The North is a strange place.
