Unfortunate in some cases, I like to look for the best in people before getting, it this case, nastily sceptical. I won't apologize for that. Obviously I haven't been around these forums long enough to witness this... & why on earth would someone go through the trouble of saying such things?


Sadly I missed the good stuff. I don't know what was said for the thread to be closed...

It is becoming a bit of a vicious circle though - occasional (and regular) posters form a view that the EDF is made of cliquey/racist/homophobic/sexist/posh/middle-class/nimbys*, so they post stupid things to try and get a rise out of people, which means that vaguely dodgy threads do get jumped on by regulars, which leads to certain people forming a view...and so on.


I came across a thread on another localish forum last year where someone had posted extracts from one of the more infamous lounge threads. Taken out of context it looked pretty bad, and several people on that board reported back they had signed up to stir the pot here.


Not sure there's much we can do about it, but it does seem to be happening with increasing regularity.

All "Fishermen" enjoy a good "haul".


I remember at Grammar School some Guys would stand in Brixton Road and point to the top of the building, sometimes creating a local stir. Once the crowd gathered to significant proportions the instigators would slip away leaving a motley group of strangers pointing, trying to establish what they were supposed to be looking for...;-)

Now that I do like !

Perhaps it gives the fakers some sense of meaning int their tiny pathetic little lives, hunched all sweaty over the rigs, grinding themselves furiously at the thought of conning some uppity middle class dulite with one keyboard while gaining palpitations as they post lengthy reviews on some niche site about their latest motherboard upgrade (most of us have barely touched upon 1% of the Internet I seem to recall being told) on the other keyboard.


It doubtless makes up for the lack of interaction in the real world where they would die for a smile from the pretty Bulgarian shop girl at their local shop as they buy pepperami and the latest copies of Wired and Edge (they'd never dare add to their stack of porn while she's working of course).


Of course what would I know, I'm doubtless utterly an inferior intellect, I don't even speak a word of Klingon.

??Extradite the lot of them to the Guantanamo I say!!

Hahaha! :))




I found the whole Brothel situation far more frustrating & not in the slightest entertaining, so I can't really see where this lewishamMan (? whatever) was going with this...

Any connection between these any events and the recent reemergence of allfornun perchance?


As for brothels, many years ago I read electricity meters for a living and found myself in one at Vauxhall Station, masquerading as a reflexology, reiki, legit massage place.

    • 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.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
