Some ace ideas on here - would that any of us had the gumption to attempt it


Keef - I'm dead jealous you played the Grand, but good insight


On the live music tip, The Hob (opposite Forest Hill station) where ED Comedy resides is undergoing a refurb to proper "theatre" spec..but they are avid music fans and have music downstairs at the mo - I wonder if they will open up the theatre to bands as well?

I definitely think a second hand bookshop with armchairs would make LL perfect and a Dylan Moran type in there would also be a bonus.

Brixton is close by for clubs etc although taxi's are expensive even though it is, what 3 miles? This friday after drinks with ED forum me and me fella are heading to "jerk" at the whitehorse in brixton if anyone fancies it we can all share taxi's back to ED and be home in ten minutes as opposed the over an hour on a night bus from the centre.

Re the cinema idea: about five years ago I got in touch with the Picture House company and told them all about E Dulwich and why I thought it would be a good place for a branch of their 'chain'. They wrote back telling me they thought it might work but there were no venues, if I remember correctly. If anyone knows the Hyde Park cinema in Leeds, then that is precisely the kind of place that would work, but I don't know where it would go in SE22. Nero

Nero vanished 5 years later. When did the cinema open? His last post suggests he may have been got at or did he just flee?

Oh dear. Oh deary deary me. What is the world coming to. Obviously LL needs an adult education centre as gaol is the correct spelling rather than the American jail. I quite like the varient once used of gayhole.


Some Irish chap wrote a wonderful poem calld the Ballad of Reading Gayhole at the end of the 19th century. Sorry I am getting a bit childish now.


Apparently there is no strict convention of either spellings.

Reinstate the old stocks in the village (plaque beside the bookshop). Pelting with rotten fruit would be poetic justice.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
