Al&Em

Hi all Considering getting a silver cross surf buggy and wondered whether anyone had one and recommends it? Big query for us is the lack of storage - is this really an issue in people's experiences (we're first timers and new to all these practicalities!)? Any ideas for getting round storage limitations - eg I think a rucksack hung under the seat might work but not certain? Alternative is the mamas and papas sola - does anyone rate this one? Thanks and grateful for views/advice, Em

Hi all. Just found this string and I'm a first timer too! Due early April - team blue! Keen to meet you all so will def be there on 14th - I'll be the one with the big belly ;)

Pablo -sounds like a great idea - I like it but I guess if I relied pricing wise in large groups only the I may struggle to line up 20 plus for a film. However, how about using edf to put films to a vote and get groups together - that could work... If you can byo and it's comfortable, good sound etc then I'd have thought ?5-8 would work ( would that pay for the setup?)- I've always found odeons etc criminally expensive. Al

NCT do an evenings class in West Dulwich - there's an intake starting next week

Snowchains in the boot Sean - keep the nation moving and all that - parties to stock the house up for!

Sydenham sainsburys is absolute gridlock - took half an hour to get out ofthe carpark. Roads better as you get to forest hill station though

Thanks - they can expect a card in the morning!

Anyone know (or are!) the above - I have a card for you delivered to my address with no return address! Al

All southern trains are suspended until at least 10am according to their website - then they'll start running metro services (assume we fall under 'metro'?).

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/download/4457/dulwich_park According to this there are several specific dog exercise areas dotted around the edge of the park - surely these are the designated off lead areas, and everywhere else is technically on lead - mind you on the park homepage it suggests dogs should be exercised only at the north en of the park, so not entirely clear.

I'm pretty sure you're right pb - dogs need to be on a lead all round the perimeter road etc by my reading of the rules - but it's not particularly adhered to.

What became of the squat - anyone know how it ended?

Pasting it into a word doc usually works. Al

I'm with voda and generally ok, though on wood vale it's a bit iffy on geou d floor. Solution is one of those signal boosters ( sure signal?) which work a treat and they gave me free with new contract

I was thre on a Sunday evening at quiz time a month or so back, but it was pretty lonely! No sign of the quiz happening, and reckon there were only about 6 other souls there. Which may have triggered the quiz being cancelled come to think of it..>!

Or you could trawl the streets to find the numberplate which should be on the disc? Depends on how bored you are!

Twas on corner of Underhill and Lordship I believe - they turned our water off for a good deal of Sunday night...\!

Is the beer free or do they charge?

I just keep having near misses avoiding the dogs while on the bike, and trying to work out if I'm in danger of being the one in the wrong - interested to know where I stand if I don't skid to a halt in time.... I do subscribe to the 'rub along' theory Sean.

Two hazards in Dulwich Park which all of us probably come up against, and a good few of us are probably directly involved in - would be interested in general opinion: 1 - Cycling fast. Technically I suppose cyclists in the park are supposed to observe the speed limit (5mph?) but that's actually really slow on a bike - is cycling faster than that wrong? 2 - loose dogs. According to park rules dogs are supposed to be on a lead at all times unless in a designated dog exercise area (dotted around the park but never on the main carriageway). Clearly almost no-one does this - fair enough or a downright danger to the (possibly speeding...!) cyclists / rollerbladers etc when they lurch in front of the bikes? 3 - Those little yellow recumbent buggys they rent out. The amount of times I've been taken out by those things swerving like on a slalom course for no apparent reason. This one's just a moan really - but do they leave anyone else downright scared of overtaking them? Al

I'm not a fan as such, but Papa Johns do deliver and recently dropped a flyer through my door. I'd probably go with Firezza..

I'd say so - usually only publishers give advances on a book that hasn't necessarily been written....
