Right,


I know that I often hark on about how superior Forest hill is compared to east Dulwich (it is), but today I've discovered something that surprisingly I haven't seen discussed on here that beats Forest hill hands down.


London Recumbents bike hire


I've often wondered how much fun the three wheeled contraptions are that you see all the kids in Dulwich park whizzing about on. Well, today I've been with a friend of mine who's got two young sons and we went to Dulwich park to see about hiring these bundles of fun for the boys.


On hiring them at a reasonable ?12 (?7 for kids) for an hour I discovered that you can get adult versions as well. Let me tell you that I've just had an hour of great fun messing about on one of these toys. The team that run the hire shed were incredibly polite and personable, and went out of their way for us.


So, forget Lordship lane and your Sunday pint. Get yourself down to Dulwich park and support this fab outfit and get some exercise aswell as a bit of air under your tail!

SE22 reaches as far as the N side of Court Lane, in places. But the park is Dulwich.


London Recumbents is great. A friend of mine comes from Oxfordshire to get his vehicles.

Another pleasant aspect of Dulwich park compared to those found in other surrounding area's is that it seems, mostly, to be visited by nice people doing nice things walking nice dogs compared to the troublemaking chavs you find in Forest hill who's dogs would look more at home patrolling the Berlin wall.

I couldn't agree more Keef. The other not so publicized benefit is that the people I buy Cannabis from live on Wells Park rd which makes the park an ideal and pleasant spot to get pranged on high grade whilst I debate over whether I should either empty the shelves of Costcutter or wait until I get home to the far cheaper alternative of a bacon sandwich.


Simple pleasures.

Speaking of Peckham Rye Common, I was somewhat taken aback to see it had been invaded by what looked like various McDonalds bouncy castles today, but which apparently was a big football coaching arena...coaching moms to become coaches as well as the obese, burger-stuffed brats to hoof the bladder around....Such incontrovertible evidence of the selfless charitable instincts of the hardened multinational almost brought a tear to my eye....B)
It's funny you should mention that Simon because I walked past a MacDonalds in Central London during the week and I saw a woman leaving the establishment (if you can call it that) who'd let herself go to such an extent that the only way of describing her is to liken the greedy halfwit to a melting snowman.

Fair enough Lou, you've highlighted my shortcomings along with all the other emiritus's of English literature.


However,


Your eventual downfall mirrored that of the other pinhead scoffing from afar. You ignored the basic etiquette of a full stop.


Pinhead.

I'm really not very good at this am I.

Get ready to feel even more of a pinhead.


From the Compact Oxford English Dictionary (I can't find it online, but I have my copy open in front of me):


"Contrary to what many people think, it is not wrong to start a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but. The practice is common in literature and can be effective."

The Compact Oxford English Dictionary. Appendix 1 Effective English. Chapter 3. Page 11.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
