poor poor Dulwich Doll, we shall miss her ..... :-S


or have I gotten the wrong person again ?

what gets me is how you all seem to know who has and has not been banned ? there is no list so i can only presume that by grassing up to admin or running to admin on masse (playground habits no doubt) you recieve a reply to your mulitude of complaining emails letting you know that action has been taken and calming you down. Then no doubt you pm all your other friends in the playground and feel somewhat empowered.


DulwichDoll return soon and lets get on with stealing their dinner money again !!

oh, don't be a silly billy AllforNun


Admin put a post up saying so, for all to see.

so no conspiracy theories needed at all...

Not at all Daizie, the first is a spontaneous burst of music hall based on your moniker, the second is the vulgar wersion we used to sing as children.

I think in the second the implication is that our heroine is 'on the game', though I never realised this when singing it as a nipper.

Of course I am not implying anything about you or your profession.

Actually Brendan I once overheard some of the servant's children singing a version which made me blush to my roots and burst into tears. When Mama demanded to know why my lacey collar was all wet I told her.

Within minutes Stebbings the butler had escorted the scullery maid, her husband the odd-job man and their four children off the premises. They were directed to the nearest gutter and told not to ask for references.

My father blamed my mother for "allowing servants to marry and breed on the premises".

I often wonder what became of them.

    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties.
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times! 
    • Wow, they didn't hang around after getting their licence approved.
