After the recent online mistreatment of DF I have taken it upon myself to setup a special thread in appreciation of his contribution to this forum as well as the local community of East Dulwich over the years. He is an informative, engaging and thoroughly decent poster to this forum who has always explained himself before posting and in my opinion, never once gone out of his way to upset or goad anyone. Here's to DF, an ED institution.


Remember foxes are for life, not just for EDF folks amusement.

What mistreatment? I don't recall any personal comments, just a bit of (very) gentle ribbing.


Besides, he is quick to point out the difference between his online persona (one of perpetual negativity) with the real man (the man all the local shopkeepers wave to, the card tricks, etc). In which case he should consider any perceived "attacks" (even though they are nothing of the sort) to be aimed at the former.

My only criticism of DF (the online version at least) is that he seems to be genuinely incapable of saying "hands up, I was wrong about that", even when presented with irrefutable facts. Gets quite frustrating.


`And there was the time he ASKED FOR FEEDBACK about a website he was putting together, but then took offence at or argued with every single comment, even though lots of people were giving him the same advise.


But that aside he's a nice fella.

I've never met Dulwich Fox in person but in the forum I admire the way he manages to conduct himself with dignity even when the Lounge hounds (NB extended metaphor not a personal criticism of clique members past or present) are snapping at him.

Foxy is the only poster over the years I have tried to imagine them IRL. Saw a Bernard Cribbins lookalike outside Jaflong giving it a wistful look yesterday who is my most recent suspect.


May I suggest a croudsourced membership pack, a la, the old Dennis the Menace one, with a wallet and badge?

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another?
