They do after you've kicked them in the shins.


As for the obsession with intimidating women in leather, well that is an entirely different set of psychopathologies that I hope don?t have anything to do with having been beaten by men in batman capes.

So far in little more than a week 'poppylucky' has been abused on a 'double-decker' 436, been given inside information on a counterfeiting operation in Playfield Crescent, and attacked by giant rats in Sainsbury. Well, I ain't seen no rats but I certainly smell one.

It's not always the kids that are mouthy. During recent bad weather I travelled to work by bus, very crowded and I stood up for most of the journey. Noticed a spare seat next to a woman in her 20s near the front of the bus - everyone was eying this seat but not taking it. Went over and noticed the woman's hand bag on the seat, said excuse me can you move your bag. Was told to F off, I had no right to sit on the seat as she did not want to get crushed. Admittedly I am on the plus side but this woman was about a size 20 herself. I just picked up her bag, dumped it on her lap, said tough luck, these seats are for disabled passengers or those with young children, I am disabled, and have a freedom pass to prove it.

She continued to swear at me for the rest of my journey. I got a lot of smiles and thumbs up from many of the other passengers, some of whom had been refused a seat by her.

Hey good for you to stick up for yourself on the bus! i did exactly the same and all i got was abuse back but persevered with my complaint to the bus conductor. If more people were bit more braver and reclaim out streets and buses back then a better society we would be.


I'm fed-up with the other moaning minnies and P.C crowd whose only reaction is inertia and tut tutting - do something about it if you want results....!

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
