Hmmm, not sure really. (I do sometimes kick myself a little)


Perhaps, I was holding out for one of these:

andy&kez I also had a beetle, it was the noisiest most uncomfortable and dangerous car I ever had.


On motorways with the slightest crosswind it would jump into the next lane, and if you ever braked hard going down a


steepish hill you would spin 180 degrees. It did have good traction in snowy winters, but the rest of it you could keep.


I preferred the British beetle the Morris Minor, which was my first car and the only car I had with a split windscreen.

Love the old Beetle. My Uncle does them up for a living and I remember that every time we went to visit him, there'd be a different colour beetle on the drive way. Loved going down to the garage to see what he was working on. Everything came in as a wreck and went out looking pristine.

I'll continue the conversation on my own then...


CC:"Stylish and Classy, you say?"


Me: "Absolutely!"


CC: "Why Thank You, Young Man!"


Me: "Don't mention it"


CC: "In that case, I won't(!)"...


At this point TLS slinks away, head bowed, having tried(and clearly failed miserably) to offer a Young Lady a compliment.:(

      GALA 2024

      By LivinSaarfMan · Posted

      I’m not a Southwark council stooge I’m a city drone working for the man in the square mile… I’ve been an East Dulwich resident from 2007. I lost access to my previous account  my new account is from 2012 as mentioned.  its unbelievably narrow minded to think that there is no local support for the festival. I would say that 8/10 of my local friends do.  OK they/we are the types that like a party. The two that  are mildly annoyed are dog walkers who do moan about having to use the other side of the park… but again they don’t hate it.  I take the point that although only 3 days of noise,  access to the park is restricted for longer but there is another mooosive bit of grass right next to it that people can use … ie the Rye common part of the park.  I feel London’s open spaces should be for everyone EVEN  those that like to listen music and dance in the open air. AND those that want to use it for quiet contemplation.  I would also like to highlight that nightclubs and venues  across UK are under pressure and closing at a shocking rate. A large event like this not only supports the artists playing and the  ‘scene. ’  It also provides traffic and income at local south London venues used for pre and post events/ drinking.  We should all be proud of the musical culture the UK  has to offer  and in particular it’s leading contribution to electronic dance music. There needs to be more  support for the reducing number of venues and events.

      I'm sorry to hear about your little puppy being bitten. I hope s/he is ok. On another note I would be grateful if people generally don't use the name Karen negatively in posts. This Karen finds it rather hurtful.

      A perfectly healthy looking tree in our road was recently removed, and apparently it was because it had diseased roots. Who knows how this was discovered!
