Asset..

I'm not slagging off nice things. I like nice things. In fact, I really like nice things.

I go out of my way to find them though, rather than flicking through 'Wallpaper', watching Grand Designs and then nipping down Mrs R to 'live the dream'. Such shops are like interior-design versions of those 'GET THE LOOK!!' pages in Grazia/Chat/Heat/Blah magazine.


Here's a puzzler.

You pop down Mrs R and buy a 'retro!!' sputnik chandelier. It cost a few hundred quid. By the time you get it home, it's worth zilch quid. It looks a bit new and rubbish, but it obviously cost a bob or two so you're happy.


or


You take ten minutes to find one of the countless 60s/70s sputnikky chandeliers. It costs a few hundred quid. By the time you get it home, it's still worth a few hundred quid. It's got a bit of character and charm and you don't see the same one hanging-up next door. And you found it, so that makes you feel kinda chirpy.


As Graham from 'Blind Date' would say.. "The decision.. is yours!"

Bob - I'd get a big farm with woodland and a fast flowing stream on a relatively high piece of land.

I'd also install solar panels, windmills and a water mill and convert loads of the barns into homes for my kids, grandkids, Dad, brothers and any mates who want to come too.


Why are you gona buy one for me??


Maybe I should set up a charity and raise money to help all the landless chavs to become peasants and subsitance farmers again.

Sounds awesome. You could have paintball and white water rafting. You'd make a bundle out of stag dos.

Hi Karter,


As someone in the know re property in ED any ideas which brave soul has taken on the old Design Six site on Upland Road? and if it's not too cheecky can you give up which site on NCR was going to be the new coffee shop?

well I don't know, but voting is better than not voting. What did Emily Pankhurst chain herself to railings for? Anyway, I thought we'd established that chav is not a class thing but we can assume chav means working class now. There's no one out there that is doing it for me either and I suppose I am 'middle class' whatever that is.

At least vote for a marginal party if the big ones don't cut it but not voting at all is apathetic.

That's why I'm in the Green Party, they are a mad mix of all kinds of people, although there are some in the party at the moment, trying to turn us into a clone of the other grey parties. Hopefully they will not succeed, but history tells us that any egalitarian/revolutionary party always gets sidetracked (infiltrated?) and watered down the closer they get to 'power'.

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By DuncanW · Posted

      CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
