"I'm sure you could control yourself if you put your mind to it."


Not likely.


I think that the drawing room will survive but it wont flourish at the rate it's creators may have hoped. This is because, as Keef stated, contributors want to come across as knowledgable about the subject they debating. There's nothing wrong with that because it is a place where facts and sources are going to be expexted. This is where the growth of the drawing room will be stunted.


These facts and figures will have to sought out either on the internet or through other means and on many occasions when a contributor has their case in order with all their sources at hand they'll find that the arguement/discussion has moved on from where they were going to pick up. They may then see no point in carrying on where they left off because they may be afraid of being shouted down by those who see the old point/case as irrelevant to what is being discuused and could acuse others of backtracking or swaying the arguement in their favour.


I don't really object to other forum members wanting a decent discussion and I don't really mind being excluded from it either as I come on here for humour. I'm constantly pissing about so I wouldn't blame the drawing room crowd ignoring me either. I see it as dull and want no part in it.


The lounge is where it's all at.

Where its NOT "all at" is consistently spelling "arguement" with an "e" that does not exist.


The verb is, obviously, to "argue" but the "e" is dropped when it comes to using the word: argument.


p.s. Can you reproduce your comment about my male appendage as the Subject interests me.

Although I'm often viciously rude and cheeky towards you Tony I wonder what path my grammar would take without your guiding wisdom.


"p.s. Can you reproduce your comment about my male appendage as the Subject interests me."


I don't think that would be wise after today's carry on.


Another time perhaps.

BBW other than the clowns thing that got deleted, you and mick find anywhere where I've got away with anything in the Drawing Room? The difference between you and I is that I know where to be an arse and where to play it straight and you don't....watch and learn pinhead....Mick's just joining in 'cos his betting's going seriously down hill since he started the betting thread

Nice work Tone. I assume you look younger than your tender years to be capable of entertaining girls in their 30s?


More like act younger Mick.:)


Truth is I met all of Ladies I see now around 10/12 years ago when I DID look much younger and a few of them have stayed good friends since then and the main "3" are all exactly 30 years old, by co-incidence..


Though the Ladyfriend who is staying with me ( for the 3rd time) told me tonight that I have grown up since she first met me 6 years ago and, sadly, she's right::o


Have to say that I have no emotional baggage though, which helps. No exs around, no marriages/divorces/kids etc..so I have lived the "single life" for a long time now.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
