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...

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....

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
