Well..............................

[nowliveinoz]

Not long in from work.......................@ 4am Sunday morning. I now live in Wollongong Australia BUT spent my first 16 years living in Walcot House on The Dog Kennel Hill Estate. Just thought I would say hello really. How is Dulwich going these days ?

[Sue]

I guess a read of this forum will tell you that :)

Everything you ever wanted to know and more :)

[nowliveinoz]

Yeah I make you right I suppose mate. I have been out here ten years now. Just mooching thru the "Bike Thesfts In The Gardens" which is where my old dear lives these days. The internet makes it an ever shrinking world really doesn't it ?

[Mrs Y]

It has been a beautiful day in East Dulwich. The sun has been out and the kids have been playing in the park,the pubs are doing well. Hopefully this will be the start of a great summer.

Hope all goes well in Australia

[nowliveinoz]

Talking of pubs. Geez. Can't remember the name of it. Bottom of DK Hill. YEARS ago was called The Old Cherry Tree. does Gary still own and run it ?If so say hello to him and "Chunky" for me when you are next in there!!!

[macroban]

Did you leave East Dulwich before Southdown House was demolished?

[brum]

You seem to have settled in to your new country well - you're even typing like an Aussie! I find myself reading your posts in an Aussie accent. Streuth!

[nowliveinoz]

I was actualy born in my bedroom @ 20 Walcot House in 1968. Left there @ 16. Moved to Australia 10 years ago this November. A BIG change for me. 10 mins from some knockout beaches etc etc. Certainly dofferent to what I was used to . Is the Road ?community centre still on Alrbrighton Road ?

Nowlives...ED is a pretty cool vibey (sp) little area....lovely eateries, good bars (some of them) and a kind of small-town semi-cosmpolitan vibe. I know, sounds like a contradiction in terms - but ..somehow the area seems to manage it. Actually caught myself grinning with pleasure when i got off the train at ED and walked up the Lane the other evening...so many happy people milling around taking in the chilled ED atmosphere. May becone a haven for wankers when the 4X4s proliferate and the displaced clapham set launch a full on invasion. But at the moment, its a fun, relaxed place to live.

nowliveinoz, Hello M8!

Why did you move, especially to the other end of the World, please?

Was it that you were getting disenchanted with Britain ( as many say on The "Pommies-In-Oz" or "British Ex-Pat" Forums or did you just love the idea of sampling The Australian Culture with its outdoor life and activities,courtesy of the weather?

This appeals to many who are thinking of moving, or have already moved to Oz, obviously.

Do you miss things about London or Britain, in general?

Are you glad you made the move and was Oz. what you expected?

[bigbadwolf]

Hullo an guday Tony

Will, tha wither iz pretty crook at the mo as it's wintah down here, bat hey, that's loife.

Woi did I move to Oz? Two reasons. Beer n crickut.

After a beautiful walk this afternoon in Farnborough in the gloriously green English Countryside, with a lovely Summer's breeze, I feel proud and lucky to have been born here, by The Grace Of God..(tu)

Fields, Meadows,Woods, Rolling countryside, what more could you wish for on such a wonderful afternoon?;-)

I am with you TLS

Drove down to the coast at Lyme Regis and then back home passing through Abbotsbury to see the Swans hatching.

Next week I will be relaxing by Lake Winnipeg.

Today I was in Weymouth, nice. Looked at fish, then ate some.

Yesterday I looked at monkeys, then ...

[PinkyB]

Did you go to Monkey World, Michael P? It's a great zoo, who wouldn't enjoy spending the day looking at monkeys? Although I remember that when we were there, one of the chimps started, ahem, entertaining himself while staring at all the people watching on the other side of the glass.

"What's that monkey doing, mummy?"

"Never mind dearie, how about we all have ice creams?" (desperately) "Let's all have ice creams!"

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I say Old Chap, one would be grateful for a reply, please.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

You are one busy geezer Oz.

3 months and still no reply from you, on a thread you initiated, as well....

In fact that you haven't replied to date, probably means you won't now or in the future, especially with your glorious Summer about to begin:X.

In fact it probably means you have forgotten about this thread and could care less if it is still here.

In fact it probably means that you will never see this note and I am talking to myself.

In fact it probably means that I should go now as this whole comment will be meaningless.

In fact I will go now....sorry to have bothered you "Oz"

p.s. Forget the last line as you won't see this anyway...
