And general issues is any better? the whole forum is predictable now. Some of that is to do with it being a decade almost of covering topic after topic multiple times. Posters come and go. None of us are sacred cows. I would argue none of us have ever been that great either, lots of self congratulation going on and dare I say it 'rose tinted' spectacles being worn.

General issues don't generally interest me. Someone next door farted when the wind was blowing in my direction. Who should I dial? No sacred cows, then let?s have a monthly slaughter. Most nominations are publically humiliated and banned for life.

Dulwich Factor. Cast your votes.

Dulwich is getting boring in the lounge. It's the same old dispute she moans about this, he bangs on about that, broken record. I used to be an intimidated bystander on this forum as it was witty, a tad cliquey, but hilarious. Nowadays, I'd rather read the daily mail (jokes).

To be fair, there are several long-running threads in General issues which cover important decisions about local planning, building, roads etc. And I think the admins allow more 'lounge'-type debates in General issues as long as they're close enough to the topic of the thread. Agree about the bloody games in the Lounge though...

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, that is not a new thing. Those bloody threads have always dominated even when the lounge was good.

I am taking this as a direct "piss off".

...and one of the other top 5 is feckin' the football thread which is just as mind numbingly boring to me as they games are to you. Doubt whether endless discussions about a bunch of overpaid tossers has been an influence on the forum for good or bad?

Nope. i'm glad you're still here, besides you're reasonably local, from here AND are in the manor reasonably frequently. What I meant is that it's so poor that i've thought about going but the fact i'm still live here keeps me on. Personally I'd love it if Huge, Moos, SJ, El Pibe, Brendan, etc etc etc were still about but I think they all moved far away long enough ago that i understand why they don't. But Loz and ratty are still on and I'm glad for eg.

Good point. Maybe we could introduce the banter and rivalry that characterises a lot of the Football thread into the other "game" threads.


"Call that a 5 letter word you illiterate Bedwetter!?... Oh, now you're just making up band names just to make the rest of us Google a collection of tone deaf Belgians...No-o-o you idiot! It aint just word association, it's a coded message to the disenfranchised of Fellbrigg Road and spelling 'Kumkwat' like that has completely bollixed it!"


Also "You knob" (applicable to any game plus curry club and the odd chapel of rest post).

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available

      Fireworks

      By Isna · Posted

      Disgusted by the people letting off fireworks so close to the petrol station by goose green!  Putting everyone else in serious danger! You'd think it was common sense to not have massive sparks so close to petrol. It is antisocial behaviour and I will call the police on individuals that do this for everyone's safety (including their own).
