Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress


Recommended Posts

Holy batman ? Mikey P and me standing shoulder to shoulder with pitchforks! Who woulda thunk it!?


It?s not looking like a huge turnout for Friday is it ? but I suspect the place will be fairly rammed anyway. Unlike some venues, newcomers may not be able to spot an obvious gathering

I want to go for many reasons

- making an effort to go to all forum drinks and make nice and sociable with the neighbours

- haven't been to the Actress yet

- celebrating Friday night


BUT


I need to get my roots done and my hairdresser can only fit me in late on Friday. Life's a bitch. So I'll be there at some stage, even if I still have a towel on my head.

I went along to the Actress, was a good night and nice to see some familiar faces again.


The tumblers were good. No clowns or acrobats tho ;)

It was a good night out, thank you for organising it Georgia! Smaller turnout, but that meant I wasn't trying to talk to too many people. The Actress was quite busy, good for them, bad for us as nowhere to get an area.


Normally they are the first Friday of the month. No hints as to where the next one will be yet.

To be honest I am not sure if there will / should be another. I said before that they are not working having them every month anymore. I am also feeling that people expect me to be at all of them, as if I am hosting a party, and that isn't realistic.


So...I would like a break(possibly a permanent one)from organising them please!

Can I be the first in thanking you Georgia for all the effort you've put in for the drinks over the past three and half years. I know I don't go to them anymore but when I did I met some very nice people some of whom have become good friends. So thanks Georgia. Take a bow young lady.

    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
    • Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
    • It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
