Or of course dbboy and HopOne you can both get stuffed.


Taxidermy's the way to go I reckon, if it's OK with everyone I'd like to be posed on the Goose Green roundabout in a 'Rodinesque' attitude - I'll leave it up to the EDF to decide how I'm posed.

Though solo, I'm thinking The Thinker.

Not because of course I am any great one, I just like its looks.


There's a few I'd like to be webbed up with as The Kiss, but I'll keep that to myself.


Not a Thinker but discreet, I like to think.

This is a completely separate discussion to all the other overlapping threads. Or was.


ETA: Spelling police here. It's not inter-seed!

That's a great idea Hona, although I see you more as a grown up version of Le Petit Pissoir...a sort of roundabout feature fountain.

We can't risk more Hepworth thievery, so foregoing bronze, perhaps we can melt down all the coins that everyone has been collecting in the 365 Day Penny Challenge.

I have an artistic bent, when shall I come round and measure you up?...

It would have to be renamed/Anglicised as the Big Piss Artist but you may be on to something here RD, I'm of to the pub to cogitate.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
