You answered your own question and rather nattily too


So the Half Moon is closed, the Grove Tavern is closed and now I hear the Dog is to shut, although hopefully not for ever. Of the big Dulwich boozers only the terrible ones - the Alleyn's Head and the Fox on the Hill - survive.


Is it time to petition Dulwich Estates?

Latest news I heard was more positive about the pub reopening, but Dulwich Estates are pressing ahead with the plan to convert the top floors to flats. That could, of course, spell the end of live music there...

Genius.


Maybe when I die, as in The Late Dulwich Raider?


Then I can put something on the tombstone that's too dull to read.

Ha, nice read


I acquired a teak side board recently, did Half Life loose one in Deptford recently ?


"Edward Alleyn?s original vision for his Dulwich foundation was to educate the poor and assist those in need, not to provide handouts to the privileged at the expense of the community at large. If he was alive today he?d turn in his grave"

I suggest:


The Late Dulwich Raider


It all ended too soon (unlike his articles).


;)

Thank you for your comments about the Lordship Lane piece on Deserter. I quite like you all.


FYI, Half-life has the sideboard. He does not post on the EDF - he has only ever bought one computer (an Amiga 4000T) and it's still in its box.


I've got a new piece about getting wellied on the water:

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
