Why? Because he makes me a laugh and always tries to be diplomatic. I realise that this forum is for people to express their views and opinions, but I do think that some times it can get a bit personal.


Keef will then suddenly appear with a light-hearted joke and a sensible resolution to any disputes. Brilliant!


Oh, and he supports the mighty LFC >:D<


Edited for Keef :)

Dangerous thread - could become a right luvvie-fest


I'll name a couple of people who have kept me interested (there are others as well - hope they are not offended by not being named)


Michael Palaeologus (in his various incarnations) who was a prime mover in keeping this place more interesting than an online version of the South London Press

Dulwichmum - obvious reasons

Mockney Piers - for often making me think I posted my thoughs more articulately than I normally do (only to find it was he who made the post)

Administrator - for his single-mindedness in finding lounge material

Keef - for the reasons stated


Those are the old school posters - plenty of interesting posters joined of late. Bellendelle Belle & asset, to name but two

Always fond of a luvvie fest...

Snorky often makes me chuckle - I like a maverick.

Sean MacGabhann always makes the effort to contribute to threads - a friendly, thoughtful voice always (oh and a Rufus Wainwright fan to boot).

Dulwich Mum of course - our very own mascot

And far too many names which crop up, making me smile, think, and wish I didn't have to get back to work.

Oh cool, I'll keep an eye out, just had to give up on large chunks of the 1500+ posts I've missed this week.

And cheers for the nod too Sean, thoroughly enjoy your contribution too.


And while we're all on a snorky love-fest, I have to say that I've grown quite fond myself.

And I have to go Polly D for making me want to say 'word' and then chuckle all the time (and for being jolly nice)

    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
