Welcome to the forum computedshorty.


Before starting threads you might want to try doing a search, using the search box top right, to see if there's already a thread running on your topic that you could add to. The forum has been running for a while now and lots of things have come up before. It's always good to hear new voices and new opinions, but seeing the same threads satrted over and over does start to get a bit dull.

Don't be put off computedshorty... I found it very interesting. Maybe I missed the fascinating previous thread.

Actually, think I might have seen it but it wasn't very good. Nobody mentioned people like James Nesbitt, Jenny Eclair, the girl from Gavin and Stacey, Monica Ali or a number of other people.

The forum is for everyone not just those who are long in the tooth and continually looking for something new.

Since you missed them, Gimme, here's the first thread, the second thread, the third threadand the fourth thread on the topic.


You're obviously not alone in finding the subject fascinating and, if you look through, you'll find everyone you've listed plus an awful lot more mentioned.


I'm not trying to put anyone off, but it does get a bit tedious when things just go round and round.

I'm with Anna.


If you are new you cannot be expected to read the whole back catalogue, but that is where the search function comes in handy.


After sometime on here, you will be old hands and experience the same groan when someone new starts something old.

Surely the idea of the Gossip section is for bored people to kill a few minutes / hours etc.

So what if the discussion has been had before. "Famous people in Dulwich" is hardly a thread designed to exchange information.


I can see the point of someone asking "anyone got any advice on sash windows" and being pointed to the thousands of posts on it but the point of gossiping isn't the same. Computedshorty probably didn't start the thread to get information but rather to have a natter and kill a bit of time.


Do we really want guardians of the forum who tell people what they can and cant natter about?

I don't. If I see a thread that asks "what's the best curry in ED?" I just don't open it.

If you don't like what's on, change channel.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
