At this festive time of year, older people in society (ME) are sat around at home twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to happen. Often left with just a few bottles of Malbec to keep them going, they find themselves needing to interact with people. Thousands (ME) of people are using local Internet forums to socialise and air their opinions with the outside world, and yet so many (ME) find themselves locked away like a criminal in a prison cell (The Lounge), waiting to communicate (snipe at and ridicule) with newcomers (yuppies) to the area. This appeal goes out directly to admin, to allow these isolated folk (ME) to once more communicate their thoughts with the larger community. Come on its Christmas, how would you feel if someone you loved was locked up in this way? All donations go towards daffodil restoration on GG come spring.


Louisa.

Would someone explain this simple question with a simple answer.


News and gossip, Lounge I read both so why would it matter where you posted?


I cannot see why you are in Siberia as people will read what you post and answer. East Dulwich or the real world? Does it matter?

Get with it Lou.

Everybody knows that for a Christmas appeal to work, you need a visual to tug at the heartstrings of your intended target audience.


A tear stained face of an orphaned child...


A sad eyed face of a lost and abandoned puppy...


Or in your case, a geriatric necking the Drambuie...

Right you lot. Listen, and listen good. Open up your crusty, moth savaged wallets and get donating to the forum. Not because you get a lovely little gold star, nor because you love how useful it is to communicate with like minded folk and share in the joy of living in East Dulwich. No, none of that bollocks. Donate, because if you don't, I won't be allowed back in the main section where I can spread joy and happiness (aka keep you lot entertained on your lunch break). The forum needs your help, so please get donating now, alright?


Louisa.

The old Louisa is dead, I've promised myself and a few others to not steer back into previous conversational favourites of mine, and as yet have not done so. Then someone tries to push my buttons to get me to talk about a topic I have tried to leave behind me. So rather than rise to that, I am back with a completely different take on local issues. I refuse to be drawn on Iceland, class or parents with a buggy. From now on, I want to be taken seriously, any drinks events on the horizon? I refuse to be trolled back into previous topics.


Fail...

Sorry, not prepared to rise to it this time :)


Louisa.

As I said elsewhere (reminded by robbin's contribution).

    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
