My east Dulwich endorsement

[bigbadwolf]

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!

....and is Dulwich Park in east Dulwich...er....nope

Pinhead...isn't that the term for someone who dooesn't know their geography BBW?

[bigbadwolf]

Shit.

However, doesn't is spelt with only one O.

Pinhead.

[????]

Beaten and bettered - as witnessed by grasping at spelling ...the last resort of the defeated.

[bigbadwolf]

Well said Quids. Quite right too. You have been defeated by your spelling by a superior and magnanimous opponent.

I salute you.

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.

I tried one of those once with a mate, whilst stoned. Great fun!

[bigbadwolf]

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.

[daizie]

Iv'e never liked Dulwich Park, not quite sure what it is . I'll leave it for you to enjoy . I much prefer Peckham Rye Common, a mix of people there and not so contrived .

[Keef]

My favourite park at the moment is Wells Park. A hidden gem.

[bigbadwolf]

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.

[SimonM]

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)

[bigbadwolf]

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.

I think you'll find that's McDonalds BBW.....pinhead

...that didn't take long

[bigbadwolf]

Quids,

I can't help but congratulate you on finally pointing out my grammatical inadequacies, well done.

However,

Your last post "...that didn't take long" should've at least finished with a full stop.

Pinhead.

[bigbadwolf]

Your previous post to that also lacked the appropriate punctuation.

Pinhead.

[louisiana]

Alright, I'll join in:

"who's dogs"

whose dogs

[bigbadwolf]

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.

[annaj]

And in a lovely own goal, BBW, you misspelt (and, assuming that's what you meant) misused emeritus and used a capital after a comma.

And so it goes on, since I'm assuming I will also have made an unnoticed mistake.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Here's your very own pinhead, Annaj:

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

[bigbadwolf]

However Anna,

You made the school girl error of starting a sentence with and.

You have no idea how good that just felt.

Pinhead.

[bigbadwolf]

I might as well point out my own foolish example of pinheadedness of putting a capital letter after a comma. Even after Dr J so eloquently highlighted it.

I feel like a right pinhead now.

[annaj]

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.
