The East Dulwich Forum

[Otta]

Just fed up with the forum.

Still lurks though

*waves at Strafer*

[KalamityKel]

An interesting not so old tweet describes the forum "it's like Munmsnet on crack". Blimey a little out there no?

[Louisa]

What other big forum names are now missing from the debate?

Let's have a bit of a love in of the folk we don't hear from anymore, who knows maybe the positivity will force them back on here for old times sake?

I have to admit I find it kind of ironic that the very virtual medium used to discuss and in some case mourn the changing face and pace of change in relation to physical the East Dulwich is now subject to the very same.

The Quiet Room

What a lovely time I've had revisiting the old EDF. It says I first posted in March 2007 but I'm sure I was active in 2006. I am also going to resurrect the "What is East Dulwich reading" on the strength of my nostalgic trip as I'm hungry for some reading recommendations.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Apparently I joined in 2007, although I seem to remember lurking for sometime before I actually felt compelled to comment (on a bit of obvious trolling which I really ought to have left alone - nothing changes).

What about the limericks

[georgia]

I joined in Oct 2006. Have made some good friends through the Forum.

LIMERICK, by Tim Vine

There was an old man from Limerick,

Who was completely unaware of the short often

Humorous poems that shared the

Same name as his home town.

[TillieTrotter]

The limerick thread....someone reignite it.

[indiepanda]

I moved to East Dulwich in summer 2008, discovered the forum between signing the rental contract on my flat and moving in.

I ended up going on a pub crawl with some of the old forumites the day after I moved in. Think Brendan may have organised it - he definitely gave me his phone number so I could track people down when I joined part way through the day at the EDT.

My life here would have been very different without the forum - not sure I'd have stayed as long without it, been a great way of making friends and finding out about things going on in the local area.

Seems we all laughed a lot more back in the day. I wonder if it was because of the monthly piss ups? Maybe they should be brought back.

[tfwsoll]

Er....The Song Remains the Same started in 2009??

[Otta]

Believe it or not, that's the second version (hence the "remains the same" bit.

I was thinking about some of those nights the other day. Some really good times, I'd be up for one if enough people signed up.

[BrandNewGuy]

Let's do it.

[Jah Lush]

No thanks. Count me out. I much prefer my relative anonymity these days.

It does make the morning after standing at the bus stop on way to work a little awkward... ;-)

What did you get up to at the drinks??! ;-)

[georgia]

It would be good to do one again

[????]

Well. Just that I know of the Forum Drinks are responsible for at least 2 marriages; 2 babies (kids now); several long term relationships still going strong; a couple of shorter term ?liaisons? (no names); a couple of big spats (but no actual fisticuffs?)?any advances?

Plenty of friendships too, but I guess that's less exciting.
