ok, i know grazia is fairly rubbish, even in it's category (a category i know well).

but why is it that tosh thinks it's honorable to read the Business section of multiple

newspapers and the Economist (and sometimes the New Statesman) every week BUT

looks down on me disapprovingly every time I open a women's mag, a weekend magasine, or a show biz gossip mag?


Why is spending hours reading about the economy considered fine whilst reading about people/pop culture isn't fine???


or is tosh just an elitist bully?

Does it really matter? It doesn't bother me if after a hard day some light entertainment is consumed, some people are way too serious all the time and lifes too short so if you like reading gossip from Women's mags then tell him Ballaxe.

maybee its time for you to find someone who isnt soooo stuffy.

When taking the dentist's waiting room challenge my top pick would probably be 'Hello'.


The publication is near-perfect, in my opinion.


The only thing that would improve it would be a problem page. Not your modern over-sexualised rubbish.. more along the classic lines of Mary Marryat's page from the Woman's Weekly ("I occasionally smell of onions when I sweat".. "will a glass eye ruin our love life?" etc)

It's bigbadwolf not 'bigbadwolfe', thicky! Secondly, what's all this 'fuzzy wuzzy' business eh Mickles? I can only guess but I'm sure they 'don't like it up em'.


If you think Dulwichmum makes you look silly Mike Mrs Mills would tear you a new arsehole!

BBW is spot on with Mrs Mills, a nice bit of wit and innuendo on a Sunday over a sausage sarnie is just the job. It is AA Gill though, isn't it? His retaurant and TV reviews are also what I buy the paper for.

However Shosh please inform Tosh that Sarah Harding is MY completely inappropriate crush and I'd be obliged if he confined his attentions to one or more of the four.

Thanks.

Ah yes, Sarah "disco Smarties" Harding. The attraction to this drug infused, dead behind the eyes twenty year old is obvious. Where is her mother? That is what I want to know.


Speaking of reading material for the dentists waiting room *Bob*, has anyone else noticed that the dentists next to the post office on Lordship Lane have lined their walls and filled their magazine racks with advertisements, price lists and literature on Botox and fillers? Little Max was traumatised by the images of needles being pushed into faces. We will not be going back.


Has it really become that popular in suburbia?

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
