When you say installations, are you drawing attention to the frightfully working class displays of bad taste? If you are, then I'm afraid I've no 'fab' recommendations to offer.


I don't know if it's because they have more occasions to celebrate (being wealthy 'n' all), but the homeowners in Dulwich village seem to have a more reserved, yet charming Yuletide decorations and don't insist on 'pimping' their property to the point of wanton abandon. The tree is meant to be on the inside, if you know what I mean.


Then again, they probably don't drink Stella Artois either.

The only conclusion I can draw from these gaudy beacons of deplorable taste is that serve as a reminder to Santa Claus not to forget them on his journey. This is because the occupants of these ostentatious nightmares had poor parents who spent their money on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of presents of any value for their children. So in adult life, after being so monsterously let down by an absent minded Father Christmas, they unveil the landing lights in the hope that Dasher and Prancer will spot them from on high.


Divs.

Don't think TM would spell monstrously with an 'e', but excellent employment of the word 'div', I thought.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      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?
