For those of you who are itching to post a flippant/sarky/downright naughty comment about a thread in The Drawing Room, but fear it will get removed before it gets read.


I'll start the ball rolling...

+ kiddy fiddlers

Is the Lounge now the Front room ?


What is a Front bottom / & can you sit in/on one ?


Why do they do keep talking in the Drawing room, it would put me off if I was actually trying to draw.



I'm more confused than ever.






W**F


Why cant we have a kitchen ?

"Rome has built a 10 Kilometre stretch of wall to enable Graffiti Artists to express themselves in the hope that they will then leave other Roman buildings and walls alone.


Is this the way forward?


Would you like a similar wall built around East Dulwich, for example?"


On the Nunhead side, YES


Arf Arf

I think the Drawing Room idea is daft because it relates back to a time when, after dinner, men would retire to the drawing room to discuss business and politics whilst the wives did the clearing up or their servants did, so the wives tended to the kids, or their nannies did, so the wives did played on the harpsicord, or giggled and played cards and talked about being over-charged at Somerfield.


I just think it should be called "Serious heavyweight debate room"

No you?re right of course. If you were privy to the inner workings of the exclusive all-male club responsible for these things you would know that the name was chosen specifically to undermine the current freedoms enjoyed by women (and indeed certain classes) in this day and age. It is just one of many subversive messages that are strategically permeating society in order to bring about a glorious new age of misogyny.




Edited because the B and the M keys are too close together on by keyboard.

Not that it really matters, but isn't it called the drawing room because it's where you withdraw to?


In other words, the men are left in the dining room, but the women withdraw to the drawing room, ergo the drawing room is by definition a female place for discussion. Although apparently all we're capable of is giggling and complaining about being overcharged at Somerfield or something. I'm sure there was a feminist message hidden in there somewhere, I'll keep looking.

Indeed it was for someone to withdraw to from the dining room, but not necessarily restricted to women.


High-falutin' drawing rooms would be connected to the state (guest of honour) bedroom, thus ensuring it was one step closer to a knee trembler.


It was also 'the' place to entertain guests, a kind of more formal lounge.

"Well, anyway, I said, I told her, I said. I said to her "Don't you be sooo silly Georgina!!.You are being a fool to yourself, I told her. Then she goes "Whaddyamean". I goes "Whaddyamean, what do I mean??"..I had a right go at her. She's gone "Well I was just asking". Here's her "You're jealous of me, ain't yer Daphne?"..I've gone "Sorry!" So she said "Sorry?" Whaddyaean Sorry?" she said. So I said back to her "Who'se sorry?" I've lost it and told her, I told her, I said "Jealous? Of you?" I said. "Yeah!" she's gone. Then here's her, again "You always 'ave bin!" "'ave bin what?" I goes to her. Here's me again ..."'ave bin whatttt?" I've had a right go at her I did" So I've gone.....................to be continued....

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
