I'm personally against penguin suits, think of all the poor penguins that have died in the name of fashion. Although the suits are pretty waterproof.


(Please disregard this comment if the suits are made from the Penguin chocolate bars,it would get a little messy when it rains.)

Look, as I think most people reaslised, when I said should we glam up I meant - pull your favourite dress out of the back of the wardrobe or put on a pretty top or jewellery (as Moos suggested) or wear something red or sparkly for Christmas.


I didn't, of course, mean get your hair done, buy a whole new outfit, go completely nuts.


And anyway, as I've said already, it was only a suggestion.


But the point of the drinks has always been to be inclusive, so if the idea of dressing up would put anybody off then it's not a good idea.

Oh yes. And Christmas tree ornament earrings, natch.


But more seriously, an elegant shade of garnet, yes indeed. I think you would look lovely. Anna and Mathilda can wear orange-red or scarlet. LegalEagle and I can wear ruby red. Belle and buggie (damn them) can wear whatever shade of red they please. There's a red for us all. Possibly even under the bed, if we get really lucky, fnar.

*Shudders*


I'm sorry but I really must complain about you using the C-word. There are some of us here of a frail and nervous disposition who are not only offended but appalled by your flagrant disregard for other people's feelings in using this dreadful word in such a casual manner.


Consider yourself ticked off.

      GALA 2026

      By first mate · Posted

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.

      Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’

      Sorry, not having a dig at Southwark for that.   I'm just shocked that next door they've chosen to abandon such an institutional community / family event so they can keep pumping out commercial stuff instead.   I suppose the same could happen here next although we don't really have any longstanding family events like that one.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      No doubt the schools in Harrogate are being discussed on the East Harrogate Forum or whatever. Dulwich College is being discussed because it's local. Saying "ooh, there were loads of schools mentioned" is a bit dismissive. It was Dulwich College that referred sex abuse allegations about pupils to the police and Dulwich College that used the spectre of the police to suppress dissent. 🤔
