Did a 50th at EDT in Jan, great venue and lovely staff. Sound system was fine too.

Newlands School have proposed to expand the current school from an intake of 60 to 80 children and extending the age range from 11-16 to 11-19. 16 of the new pupils would be over 16 years of age. This will correspond with the opening of the new site for Ivydale primary school which is next door to the Newlands school. The main entrance has been suggested to be moved to the Rye Road side too. Surely the school should be making people in the surrounding area aware of this plan so that they can have their say but this doesn't seem to be the case. There was a consultation event at the school today which was not well publicised so the turnout was likely low. I'm posting this so that people in the surrounding are aware of the plans, so you have an opportunity to have your say.

I love the 'PAY AS YOU GO' branding on the cars I've seen. Subtle.

I'm sure you'll find lame loner (cheap shot I know, but funny nonetheless) trolling on that one too.

The point of posting this, well, like a lot of people on this thread, I'm not a big fan of 'poo-shoe', 'pram-poo' in fact any kind of animal poo that might end up on my carpet or in my office.

Congratulations to the 30something white guy with the chocolate Labrador. You win today's prize for the steaming pile of poo your dog has shared with us all on limesford road at 8.04 today.

So i googled met police crime rates for both nunhead and east dulwich and there were some interesting facts... East dulwich http://maps.met.police.uk/access.php?pcode=Se22+8el&searchlocation-button=&sort=rate&curr_area=E01004016 Nunhead http://maps.met.police.uk/access.php?area=00BEGP&ct=16&sort=rate Anyway, my point is that nunhead is also a decent and safe place to live as is east dulwich. Neither have the omnipresent threat of crime and you can walk the streets at night without any trouble. You may get more for your money if you explore a little further away but still have access to all things ed.

Nunhead all the way. Much more for your money (for now), loads of green spaces such as the cemetery, one tree hill, telegraph hill and the rye, nice streets such as hichisson and limesford. Very good community vibe and much lower crime rates than ed. I've lived in both and certainly prefer nunhead but then I've a young child and have little need for the cheesy disco bars.

Following the spate of burglaries in the area I am thinking of getting an adt alarm for the piece of mind of my family but am wondering whether it actually draws attention to the fact that you have something worth stealing rather than putting burglars off. Very few houses on my road have alarms so I wouldn't want to draw attention to ours as somewhere with riches(which it isn't). What do people think? Are there any stats? Thanks D

I've just returned from a delicious Sunday lunch with my wife and baby at the ivy house to the accompaniment of some very chilled live jazz. I've always been put off by the exterior but inside it feels like a country local and is very welcoming. I would definitely recommend, well worth a trip and not too busy. Has anyone been to one of the events there if so are they baby friendly. D

It's beyond a joke that this has happened so many times in such a short period. Can't be that hard for the police.
