As Spring commences and Summer comes into view, the weather improves and the sun shines through the leaves creating dappled patterns on the lawns and hearts of East Dulwich.


Minds turn to al fresco parties and barbecues.


I have attended many of these events and have often felt that there is something lacking. A cultural void in what is otherwise a lovely afternoon of grilled bangers, cold Pinot in plastic cups and gently broiling human skin.


What is needed is one significant element that will transport your otherwise mundane suburban party to ancient Greece or Rome. Lift your guests from Croxted Road to the Coloseum, from Crystal Palace Road to the Parthenon:


Rent yourself -- DAVID CARNELLI, HUMAN CLASSICAL STATUE


Many people have commented on David Carnelli's similarity to the young Apollo and so building on this amazing likeness David has kindly decided to offer his services to the community as a live decorative fixture.


His services can be delivered in a number of ways:

1 - The static statue. David can stay still for up to 20 minutes at a time, moving between classical poses, gazing into the distance, silent yet commanding

2 - The reciting statue. David can recite from classical literature, in your actual Greek or Latin if required, entertaing your guests with the enormity of his declamation

3 - The nude statue. For those with specialist tastes. Please note that David is fully depilated; if you require the more natural look, 6 weeks notice is required

4 - The human fountain. Please supply ample quantities of Evian mineral water to keep him topped up.

5. - The athlete. David can perform like an ancient Greek Olympian. Its a quite a sight.


Many Forumites will vouch for David's flexibility and imagimation, if you have any particular requests please do not hesitate to contact:

Top wheeze MP.

Could you sort me out number 3 but with the rugby song shouting option please?

I don't have a garden but there's a green patch outside my living room window and there's a bus stop right beside it.

I'd like to book him for one week day during the rush hour.

I'll leave it until the weather gets a bit warmer, I'd like him to be at his best, so to speak.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
