I have hated flying ants ever since I walked into a swarm of them coming home from school and got loads tangled up in my hair (td)

Horses for courses, and we're lucky to have a choice of two supermarkets within easy reach.

anybody going to the street party on sunday....
Sue replied to boxboyuk's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Sorry - just trying to give info to people who may not have seen the other thread, which is in the "What's On" section. The title of the thread says "the" street party, although as has been pointed out there are several street parties going on in East Dulwich. Surely the more information about them all the merrier - then people can decide which they want to go to, although I guess as this is about getting to know your neighbours, most people will go to the one nearest them? Apologies if I've pissed anyone off, but I was only trying to spread the word :-S As anybody else can do about their street party ..... -

Crystal Palace Road has live music from 2pm including Jen Doyle and Joe Fowler (brilliant local duo who you may have seen when they played the final set at the Dulwich Fair on Goose Green earlier in the year :) ) and Fran McGillivray and Mike Burke (equally brilliant but quite different local blues duo who supported Eliza Carthy and Saul Rose at DHFC a couple of weeks back). PLUS There will be a busker who we are told is fantastic, plus CPR resident Fidel with his band will be playing at around 3.30pm after the raffle (raffle is at 3pm - excellent prizes!!) PLUS Before the live music there will be Big Chill/Goose Is Out! DJs with a mixture of all kinds of music, much of which we hope you will sing along to :) -
Thanks both! I have no plans to go to the Olympics, but yes if some places only take one or the other that's a good reason to keep on one card of each kind, thanks!

Rationalising my credit cards. Before I cancel my Visa, is there any advantage (eg when travelling) to having a Visa rather than a Mastercard?

Are you talking about the one in Lordship Lane? I think it's vastly improved since it first opened as a Co-op. When you say it's expensive and often poor quality, what are you comparing it with, and can you give examples?

Dubonnet brings back memories, when I was a student it was the cheapest thing at the bar :))

There's also a street party on Crystal Palace Road, between noon and 5pm. See the thread in the "What's On" section of the forum! It's the part of the road between North Cross Road and Whateley Road. :)-D Edited to say: Bring food to share, plus picnic chairs if you have them, there will be lots of fun including games, music, a plant stall and a raffle :) -
LadyTaTa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Saying that, being on the 4th floor doesn't stop > the pigeons looking longingly at the feeder :)) xxxxxxxxxx I know someone who lives in a 12th floor flat. In an effort to deter the pigeons from his balcony he obtained a life-sized plastic crow (I think), stuck black feathers all over it and attached it to the rail. This backfired when it was divebombed by the real local crows, who pecked all the feathers off :)) Simon, I believe the RSPB advises feeding birds all year round. I have fat balls, peanuts and seeds out at the moment, and they're all getting eaten, even though the birds are clearly eating insects etc as well. I also have water out all year round, though I didn't see any birds drinking from it even during the very hot weather (or bathing come to that) though maybe I just wasn't looking out of my window at the right time.

Great pic of the stag beetle! Apparently Herne Hill and thereabouts is a hotspot for them? I heard there is a window of opportunity to see them at dusk when they fly. Lady TaTa, my fat balls are rapidly being gobbled up by birds, even though it's summer. Have you got yours in a place where the birds can have some shelter and are not highly visible to cats?

alarm going off driving me slowly insane

It came to a head one day when there was a thunderstorm and the poor thing was howling and appeared to be terrified. The council sorted this out very quickly, apparently the owner had not realised the dog was barking, as he left it in the garden when he went out :-S They tracked the house down, spoke to the owner and it never happened again. I can't remember what department of the council dealt with it - I had originally phoned the RSPCA and they told me to phone the council - but I'm sure the switchboard will know. -
At Dulwich Hospital isn't it?

Did you move into East Dulwich after 1945?
