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....

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
