well that was a lovely evening with the lads so thanks keef for suggesting this little foray, I have to say I am a little bleary eyed this morning though, perhaps I was a little bit weak when offered the fourth pint and the shot! Still small price to pay for some very interesting and lively chat about kids and great to meet some very cool people in the area. Now off to get steamy with a deseperate housewife!(well desperate to have no wall paper in the spare room):)) lets do it again soonish not too soon though I'm a bit too lightweight for that!!


thanks and hugs to all that made it!!

Hi, there's a Dad's drop-in session at Brockwell Park 1 o clock club on a Saturday morning, it's a really nice spacious club with a garden. I haven't been to this session, but it's apparently quite popular.


You could also come along to the new 'Bumps n Babes' group which is starting on 12th October in Goose Green Community Centre, every Monday 10am-12noon. It's a drop-in group for mums to be, new parents & carers of babies and young toddlers - I don't know how many other Dads will come along, but we do get the odd one or two at bumps n babes in Herne Hill.

Would be nice if this thread could keep going if only to keep dads coming into this part of the forum - it's supposed to be a family room not a mums' room, and it's great when the dads are here too.


Come to think of it, families are also grannies and uncles and cousins and siblings and stuff, so it should include everyone! - but you know what I mean.

Ok I'm throwing my cards in too.


2 boys 9 & 5 I'm a very hands on "Dad" changed career to be around them as much as possible. I love it & it gets better as time goes on.


We were the first of our social group to have children so I know how you feel. Once they start school though it really changes again.


Flexible with time & location though I do live near you.

well we could use an agreement on a date if keefs brssic on the 22nd I will stand him a pint or two or we could have a whip and all stick in what we can each like a tenner or something so if anyones skint they can put in next month, I will only have a pint or two so there should be extra in the kitty for those with a little less to put in!

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
