Thank you so much all. Mum hopefully arriving in june so we will get onto all this stuff. And Sue we'll definitely pay a visit to the goose is out.

I placed this in another section but thought it worth putting it on here too. My mum is making the big move here from up north and I'm keen to make life as fun as possible for her. She is only 60 but has some health issues so the usual suggestions for activities often aren't possible. I'm looking firstly for a GP good at dealing with emphysema .. hopefully one that will prescribe more holistically ( stress management, supervised exercise etc ) rather than pump her full of drugs that make her feel awful. And secondly for social activities. Edanna told me about a singing group for people with COPD which is brilliant. i suppose I'm looking for friendly non judgemental environments .. she loves a bit of live music too so I was wondering if The Goose is Out might be good. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Thanks so much everyone thats put my mind at rest. Will take my mum to do some viewings and see how we go!

Hi there .. does anyone live in the little houses behind francis rd? There always seem to be loads of houses for sale there which is worrying me slightly. Looking for a nice safe little place for my mum.. any info much appreciated

Thank you so much. I have needles and wool thanks to st christophers. Good to go

oo thanks i'll go and have a gander

hiya. I need to learn how to knit asap. Does anyone know where I can buy a starter kit of needles and wool?

Does anyone know where the nearest jacuzzi/steam room is?

new guys .. and the more expensive wash was worse than the old guys cheap one!

thanks all .. looks like there is one at the cool cats cafe in camberwell too..

Thanks onthemove .. i used to love the clockhouse one till the refurb .. hated it upstairs so gave up fairly quickly. Is it good again then?

Does anyone know of a local pub quiz on tonight ( wednesday night )?

I agree .. looks grand. Fingers crossed..

Thanks James .. so thats the proposed site for the cinema not just the talk venue?

Ok .. i'm sure I'm being thick but where is this proposed to open? Is it st thomas moore or is it the church on Barry rd ( which I thought was called Christ church )

This is a bit tenuous but the guy who runs highvibe opposite I know was once in contact with them about moving there. You could ask him.

Ah thanks Siduhe ..

Dont actually know what they're called but the bus stop near nero had one ( brilliant ) and now its gone! They're so helpful .. even if your bus is going to be late you can at least then plan rather than stress for twenty minutes. Any idea why its gone?

Ooo I would LOVE this. Do we know when Dena will make her decision, James?

I gave a plug for these guys a year ago when they did a load of work for our building .. they have this week been back to lay some artificial turf and do some fencing and various bits and bobs in my personal section. They are so so brilliant I cant say enough about them .. I wont bang on about details but if you want to pop round and see their work you are welcome.. highly recommended.

if you have a car then herne hill practice is great.. although i think maybe I'm only allowed to be registered there because I used to live closer. I really should move but am not overly confident of finding a good one local.

Annie whats the situation with the films you are able to show at EDT .. will you ever be able to show new releases?

Has peckham plex gotten any quieter? I stopped going a few years ago because the audiences were so noisy I couldn't enjoy the films. On one memorable occasion a couple behind me were on a first date and talked at full volume throughout the entire film.. i got tired of asking people to be quiet ( largely unsuccessfully ).. I'd love a little cinema in ED that showed mainstream releases too but in a nice art house cinema atmosphere.. ah well, cant have it all..

Long shot but are there any local mixed volley ball teams.?.. i cant find any on the net that don't scare me with talk of leagues and stuff, and they seem to be full of teenagers. I just fancy a bit of competitive fun if you know what I mean..

yep.. just walked through it all. Stabbing sadly. The policeman said it was a gang initiation thing .. " too scared to actually kill him so stabbed him in the arse.. " I asked if he'd be ok and he said " oh yeah fine.. he'll be doing it to someone else next week..". He was quite jolly in an if you didn't laugh you'd cry kind of way..
