Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

When at a roundabout, driving a car, and the person you've given way to (as per the road rules), waves a thank you as if you've done them a favour.


This has happened so many times in the last week I've lost count (I live right by a mini roundabout). I'm just following the rules, don't thank me!

Completely appreciate that politeness is a good thing, that's why I recognise my rage as being irrational :)


I have long since given up on anyone going straight down Underhill Rd through the roundabout giving way to me.


I still find oranges cause me rage, but I probably mentioned that back on page 2.

Trip to the theatre ruined by people yakking and troughing. Friday night audience come up to town for the evening, determined to get their money's worth, laughing at everything regardless of whether funny or not. Seats clearly not designed for 21st century fat people. No 12 bus home next to man with stinking MacDonalds and drunk people with amusing ringtones. Wish I'd stayed stayed at work.

people that insist on wearing a hoodie with the hood up and sunglasses on a hot summers day!!!!! Sunglasses fair enough, but unless you suffer with a medical condition which requires an individual to dress accordingly what's with the hoodie, what's your excuse? Is it a new hipster craze?

Surprising the amount of people that do that, used to drive me mad when I used to watch my son play for the youth side 5 years ago.

When my son played for the under age teams what drove me mad was kids talking about headering the ball. What the hell is headering? Did your son play for DH prior to the youth team PD? Mine one is 23 now. Stopped playing @ U14's

Indeed, the phrase is "heading". Clearly some of those using the headering term have been listening to too many pundits, god help them. My son is also now 23, he played for them until he was 18, he was managed by a guy called Ian, during his last season they won the London cup 5- 1. There was a lot of politics going on around that time, ground sharing with Fisher and all sorts, financial shenanigans. When the lads got to the end of that season they were all released as they were too old and none were taken on by the then manager, again political. Very sad.

When have I done that? Think I've been known to refer to going to a match as "going to the hamlets" but I don't think I've ever called them Dulwich Hamlets and if I did it was an error.

I dunno, all these johnnie-come-latelies, popping in for the first time since 1846 now there's a sniff of success in the air.


Bloody glory hunters!!!

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

      By Insuflo · Posted

      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?

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

      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...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
