Loiusa recently started getting tanked up early afternoon and foreseeing early evening munchies sought chinese takeaway recommendations.

Then started taking the recommenders to task.

I think of her as the EDF Julie Burchill justwithout the Tony Parsons interlude.

I think Louisa makes threads more interesting...the Christmas parade thread is a perfect example of this as, prior to her comments, the thread was just...well, just a nice, pleasant thread about a nice, pleasant event which is going to take place in nice, pleasant ED. Her comments spiced up the thread, compelled the likes of me to jump in and give our two-pennies' worth (e.g. by showing our support for all of Monica's hard work etc.). This in turn got the thread moving at a faster pace than it would otherwise have done and, ultimately, it kept Monica's thread close to the top of the page. Some of us may not have agreed with Louisa's sentiments (myself included), but, I believe that to have disallowed her the opportunity of voicing them would have been manifestly unfair. The flip side is that we are now being permitted to discuss her at length here.


So, is Louisa for real? I think that, for the purposes of a dynamic, fun and vibrant forum, this is irrelevant...i.e. I couldn't give a toss! As with Dulwichmum (who is in all probability not "for real"), the forum is a more interesting place with her contributions.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
