"Mockney piers is the forums prince among men."


Cripes, that's a lot to live up to!!!


The way to a man's heart is clearly through his whisky penchant ;-P


I'd also go with Michael Paleagolus(sic) is our resident charming wit (and can have a man killed for the right price)

welcome Barty


The forum is kept in impeccable order so don't be surprised if one of your posts magically disappears to another section. Don't be offended if you start a thread on what you think is an extremely important point to be met with the first reply saying something like - 'here we go again' and then a link to a 20 page thread on same point - even if it was last discussed 2 years ago.


For me the best thing about the forum is the wanted/offered - I've managed to get rid of lots of junk and also found decent pest control, handymen, got someone to buy something in ikea for me and had great meals out - to the point where my boyfriend is driven mad by me saying 'well on the forum .. . .'


have fun

That's fine, as long as you can cope with me going "Where did my post on xxxxxx end up"!!!!

That's fine, as long as you can cope with me dredging up ancient threads so I can talk about something which interests me but you lot were last discussing 2 years ago!!!!

Ha ha, absolutely spot on JB! >:D<

Drinks are held on the first Friday of the Month. EXCEPT during the Summer when it is the first Saturday of the month and start in the afternoon. Usually a good turn out of many of the names mentioned. Keep an eye out in the The Lounge for details - next one is on 4 July at The Rye Hotel. I have the list of future venues in my wallet and occasionally, for money, allow people to have a sneaky peek. Otherwise they are a state secret, in case we get a better offer from another venue.


Curry Club is usually the last week of the month and attracts a variable number (anywhere between 20 and 4) depending on how skint people are. In July we might do a crafty mid-month one though as I missed last nights and I organised the feckin' thing.


Occasionally a thread called "The Quiet Room" reappears for a brief burst of surrealist humour and virtual debauchery before it sinks again into the the Forum's depths. Much like Moby Dick or Brigadoon...


EDIT: Hmmmmmmmmmm ......

    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
