EDF Lifecycle

[Keef]

Why don't you send them a PM pointing it out then, or just point it out on a thread?

I can totally appreciate how the EDF is a bit cliquey, it's not meant to be, but that is the way it has turned out. I don't think anyone tries to be rude though, and if you were talking about me, I'd be gutted, and like to know what I'd said to offend.

(unless you mean the 343 bus thread, in which case it's a bit late to take it all back)

[Brendan]

This is so unfair!

[mockney piers]

I have to say I edited my first response "tits" with the response you see above ;0)

Plus I've offered Mr G out for a face-to-face and he can't make it 'til next year, pah!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

uh oh - I feel a defensive SMG post coming on....

[Brendan]

Don?t do it. Indignation is seldom constructive and far better channelled into puerile attempts of humour.

[PeckhamRose]

Marmora Man, maybe everyone's said what needs to be said?!

BTW is your son looking for work over Xmas? ;) ;)

[MrBen]

Y'know Marmora Man. I said the same thing to a famous forumite recently. But I was in the states this week. And it was kind of comforting to log on and check out how many cats had been run over, debates about buses. And fences in SE22.

There is a sense of community here that I havent found elsewhere in this big city. I like it. Personally I'd like to see the forum do some kind of charitable event for the community - become the social conscience of the area. But perhaps I'm wrong. Or a bit tipsy.

[snorky]

I am actually as cynical and twisted as I come across. oh yes.

[will dex]

i just cant understand why people argue about pcso's in curry houses all day long....

-concerted effort needed to raise the forum game-

-maybe it's just christmas and the standard will again rise in 2009???

[baglady]

MMM

as a bit of a voyeur and a little shy, i feel i've not entered into the true spirit of things by not contributing,just watching and giggling or whatever,

I love the banter people have here and it's great to see a community in inter web action, as it were.

But yeah sitting back and listening is getting a bit samey (apologies from now on in for my grammmmer)

I hope to contribute more, any one else a bit shy?

[SeanMacGabhann]

baglady - take comfort from the fact that you are not alone. There are hundreds, nay thousands, of people who lurk (read but do not post) - and nothing wrong with that. But it is more fun to get involved.. and now you've dived in..

[????]

baglady "ayone else a bit shy?"....that sean fella's a bit of a wallflower

[Michael Palaeologus]

A Grey Grooving Wallflower though ..............

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

MM - perhaps you need to change your user name to John McNab.

I challenge you to bag an artisan loaf, a whole salmon (fresh or smoked)and a bottle of Prosecco without being caught. Obviously you have to declare your intent to the chosen establishment and return the goods.

Blimey I never knew ED was THAT big!!!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well, we are a sort of online "Truman Show" our bletherings and occasional attempts at whit and humnour entertain a host of people throughout the Globe.

Economic suicide aside, ED is like to become a tourist honey pot, with coaches pulling up outside houses .... "This is where the lovely Moos lives, if you each pay her ?10 she will let you take a photo or give you an autograph; for an extra fiver she will take her designer sunglasses off for the photo"

[Moos]

Hey! You cheeky monsterfunster. Go away for a few days and this is what happens. Designer sunglasses indeed.

[macroban]

EDF doesn't do life-cycle.

Yet.

There's no section for Death Notices, Funeral Announcements, and Obituaries.

[citizenED]

And to be honest, Lifecycle is probably not quite the right term to use in the title thread, suggesting as it does a beginning, middle and anend. Who knows where the EDF will end up? - its been through many phases on its journey thus far. Evolution would be more accurate.

[karter]

The EDF will evolve indeed. I noticed in January's SE22 magazine that the forum awards have been mentioned in it and people should be encouraged to get on here and vote but what the heck has happened to the thread?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Since January it has evolved some more - and judging by the last few days it's not going through one of it's better cycles.

Some of the old favourute hot topics and some new ones have started but the tone is several degrees lower than was once the case. It's all a bit more LBC than it used to be (a comment I'm sure will be used against me)

Most of (with honourable exceptions) the more considerate posters seem to be keeping away rather than engaging in debate with peolpe who seem happier to sling mud than argue coherently

[Keef]

Guess that's what happens when a thing gets so big. Also new posters are finding feet / forum personalities in a was that never used to be required because it was so small. God I round like a complete knob!

[SeanMacGabhann]

typing on a phone there keef?

[Brendan]

Where's all the arsing about at the moment? Despite the best efforts of some folks it seems to be taking an apologetic back seat to people taking things far too seriously (particularly talking bollocks with strangers on a public website).

And then you get cantankerous posters like me moaning about how it used to be all fields around here and there?s not enough sillybuggers anymore. Arsholes.

[Ted Max]

This is my (repeat) take on the latest outbursts.

See you all later.
