Edited title as the name is now common knowledge.


I think he was given a hard time on a few threads recently. Not surprising he was grumpy!

I've only met him the once but found him to be a nice man.

I'll miss his sense of humour. I'll also miss his presence on the football thread and competing against him in the predictor leagues.


I really hope you come back as someone else AM x

Don't fret Moonster, he'll be back. In the last few weeks he was falling out with all sorts of people over nothing. I think he's had the EDF equivalent of a breakdown, right now he's probably lining up all his tea cups on the window cill so they are just so. Nevermind, just think of all the fun of trying to spot his new reincarnation, number 4 at the last count...

I hadn't realised until the man himself pointed it out recently.


But you're still the man that didn't "get" Liverpool mad Annasfield's name, and that is still funny ;-)

And SJ was it you who was amazed the late great Ted Max lived on a certain road?

Back on subject of Alan. I've only met him a couple of times but he's a solid guy and I have a lot of time for him. Interesting life he's had and as ever, if real life takes a turn, the machinations of the forum can aggravate. As people have already said, I'm sure he will be back

Except too many feel that they have to have the last word, not wanting to be seen by the wider audience as 'losing face'...over to you Mick :)

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
