I stopped watching the British one as I can't stand Alan Sugar any more. The American one seems more exciting and I live in hope that one day I'll overcome the physical impossibilities of that wig that for now simply looks like two pieces of shredded wheat. Is it combed forwards or backwards, left or right?

Don't be a maverick, Howard, people who are mavericks are all tossers.


I would, seriously, disagree with that statement,


The uniqueness, diversity, eccentricity and individuality of people is what makes a Nation so appealling.


It would be a boring place if we all conformed and thought and acted in a similar fashion.


I mean I'm a "maverick" in my eyes and, probably, a "tosser" in the eyes of one or two on here....but thats not because I'm a Maverick:)

Perhaps I should have written, "people who THINK they are mavericks" are all tossers. I don't think anyone could argue with that one. Anyone who thinks they are dangerous/ original/ cool/ quirky/ maverick is almost 99% guaranteed not to be.



I once actually met someone whose first name was Maverick. I don't know what his parents were thinking, it's like calling a girl Pretty and then she turns out not to be and suffers for the rest of her life as a result. The worst thing was I was introduced to him as a potential love interest with the words "I think you'll really like him", leading me to seriously question my entire sense of being when he (inevitably) turned out to be a massive twit. Within about 20 seconds of meeting him he started pontificating loudly about the movie script he'd written about a heist that goes wrong and seemed oddly offended when I said, "Oh, you mean, exactly like Reservoir Dogs?" (This was about 6 months after the film had come out)


He could not have been less of a maverick if he tried, and I hated him instantly.

      I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.

      Brockwell Lido - in a miserable state

      Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/

      I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
