Come Dine With Me - is the great Channel 4 TV show, where contestants host a dinner party to win a cash prize.


Just wondering if anyone would be interested in getting together hosting dinner parties in the style of the show. We could put cash into a kitty and award it to the best dinner party host.


So ED residents let me know if you're up for the challenge...

The same concept of complete strangers meeting for dinner was tried out on the Sydenham town forum and if memory serves correct it was actually quite a success. I'll try and find the thread but I'm sure it was successful. They also tried it out on the se23.com forum and initially it fell on it's face but now they meet regularly but at a restaraunt or pub but I think they did initially meet at someones house.

Perhaps should exclude the bit where the visitors get to rummage through the host's drawers?


But yes its a brill programme - watch it regularly on a Sunday night now. Mrs M not so keen but if I offer her the choice between US golf or CDWM she lets me watch it.


There was a celebrity version where Linda Barker hosted and my wife tells me she lives on Underhill Road??. That was quite a good episode and she predictably had a very nice house.

Anyone for my MARVellous trifle?! Oh ????, you naughty boy, you bought Baileys for me specially!!


Still, think I'd rather come as the slightly scruffy smart-arsed happily married one, if it's all the same to you. Can't cook, but do an excellent job of washing up.

Hey Everyone

If you're genuinely up for it - then send me a PM.

We can meet somewhere on Lordship Lane to set the parameters and dates and take it from there.


I have a video camera, anyone interested in filming us? Then Kells or Sean could do the voiceover! We post the results on youtube!

Watched it tonight - it is definitely "streamed" so that the class of cooking and class of person are well matched. Tonights from Newport Wales was def lower end.


DJERICA - Good luck with your night. If you don't get enough offers, you might want to go to the next EDF drinks to hook up with potential guests and take it from there.

Thanks Mick - will have to make it the next drinks though as unfortunately I'm in Germany on Friday.


Woof - thanks for the filming offre, there maybe an orgy of food on the table, but I'm sure you'd be welcomed with open arms if you offered to actually do the washing up rather than film it!!! :))

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
