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).

    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
