BBW, I am letting everyone know what has been emailed to me via my blog, because I will not be bullied privately by someone who has a gripe from the forum. I do not accept abusive private messages either.


Brum, I am not whiter than white. I brought all of this up because the tone of this forum has gone to pot. I apologised on this forum to Mikecg and said that it was not all directed at him.


I do not accept it that I should allow someone to post me abusive messages as a result of this which I am expected to keep to myself.

Richard Attenborough was great in the film.


William Hartnell, who was the original Dr Who was in it too!!

DM, I know you're not whiter than white, as this message to Mike just this morning shows: 'Mikecg darling. Why don't you consider this an omen darling, and leave the internet alone for a while. You would join some kind of club for like-minded people. Perhaps a drinking club, or take up exercise or get yourself a Wii or a Nintendo and some games. Anything. Please... I will give you my son's computer games. Please lovely man, try something else for a while. We need a break.'


This was on a thread started by Mike enquiring about a new ISP for his PC. Sorry but whilst this tone may not be so abusive it could be interpretted as inflammatory, to say the least!

Santerme;


The film is, as you say, fantastic, and those people who only know "Sir Dickie" from his recent cuddly granddad phase would be surprised how terrifying he is in it. My only issue with it is that they fudged the ending rather, but I suppose it was a bit much to expect the Graham Greene ending in 1947, it would have had people leaving the cinema in emotional tatters.


Oh, splendid, Newsnight's started.

Indeed brum, I did say that. Then I apologised and said this:


"Lovely Mikecg,


I apologise. I don't mean to take a pop at you particularly or make you feel bad about yourself. This forum has just collapsed into ruins lately, and I miss it. I am disappointed because it was a genuine secret pleasure of mine for a long time. None of the conversation on here is interesting or relevant anymore. I once read every thread, relevant to me or not. Look at that football thread for example. It is just base and rude. East Dulwich has improved, but this forum has gone down hill.


I'm off...


Toodle pip."


I have subsequently received one abusive PM and two similar emails. I was wrong to single out Mikecg, but he answered the first post I put up about this issue and it just blossomed from there. The forum has gone right off the boil and lots of people are aware of it. I also PMd Mikecg in an effort to pour oil on the water when he first sent me an abusive PM. This is not ok.

I always saw Attenborough role in this as the precursor to Brando and Dean...


You are right the ending is an evocation of Heart of Darkness...IMHO

I think it might be due another read actually, I haven't read Brighton Rock in a long time. The problem is, every time I do, I get caught up in Graham Greene-land and end up spending the next couple of weeks reading all his other stuff, racked by Catholic guilt and doubting the existence of God and my place in the universe.


And I'm not even Catholic.


Hmm, a book, a blanket, a screwtop bottle of wine, Crystal Palace Park on a Saturday afternoon... I think that's tomorrow sorted.

Never watched the Nick Berry series, but Nuts In May is one of my all time favourite films! (in fact, don't get me started, I practically know the script off by heart)


I've had a few holidays in Dorset over the years, a camping trip to Weymouth aged 7 where I learned to swim, and a couple of New Forest caravan holidays. Beautiful place. Still haven't made it to Corfe Castle in the steps of Keith and Candice though.


I don't blame you for getting out of London, I'm a South Coast girl myself, and every year I think about moving back there. Unfortunately the rents are not much cheaper than they are around here, and there are almost no jobs, so it's not really an option just yet. One day...

"Candice-Marie, Candice-Marie!"


"Well done Ray!"


"Why don't we ask Ray!"

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
