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).

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
