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.

    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
