Anyway....


One of the reasons I set up this thread was to help recruit for the ED Singles Sunday Lunch Club. Lots of interest from the girls but very few boys. If there are any single guys reading this that fancy coming and meeting a load of single girls for lunch next Sunday 21 Aug at The Mag at 1pm then get in touch and I will point you in the right direction to book a spot. Should be great fun!

I shouldn't be telling you this, but the world needs to know the truth. If only so there is some lasting testament to all those young, idealistic men that have been lost to the cause.


I'm all that remains of the fifty and I haven't got much time left. The... change has started. If that doesn't get me then it's just a matter of time before my cover slips or the government 'retire' me. So sit comfortably and listen well. This post will probably be removed fairly quickly but hopefully some will learn the truth before it casually wiped out - like the rest of my unit.


In late 2009 a clandestine group of government officials met under the pretext of 'The Census Corrective Thinktank'.

This group were formed by a group of like-minded individuals within the government who had stronger concerns than most about social ghetto-isation within London.


Early projects were innocent enough - such as trying to curb the spread of single-speed bicycle ownership in Hoxton;

One hundred practical bikes, some with up to 21 gears, were introduced to the area over the course of April and May 2010. By July 2010 the synopsis made dark reading. Yeah, a few of them got ridden on the odd occasion, but at the end

of that three month period 63 bikes had been converted, 17 bikes had been removed from the area,7 destroyed and the

remaining thirteen unaccounted for.


The CCT just didn't learn. Operation Blerks would suffer a similar fate in East Dulwich.


I was one of the fifty single males selected for operation Blerks. We were all top of the single-man game. An entire

month of takeaway food wouldn't phase us, we laughed at the idea of a seven hour playstation session clothed only in

underpants and scatter-cushions were something that would never find its way into our bedsits. I myself was recruited because of my specialist food skills: Being able to create a sandwich from literally any foodstuff. I'm talking pie

sandwiches, last-nights-chinese sandwiches, the works.


We took our mission in good faith. Proud to be working for the government we left the training camp and were slowly

filtered into ED. Our cause, to re-balance the dearth of unattached menfolk in the area.


The first few weeks we lost over 20% of our number. Mostly due to sloppy mistakes such as forgetting to wear the standard issue white-gold wedding band when buying meals-for-one in local shops. Schoolboy error.


Others were things we couldn't have been prepared for. One of my cell members got lucky after work one night. It had been six months of enforced celibacy before that and he did what all single men find it impossible not to do in that situation - he spent the next day walking around like a man carrying two invisible pots of paint and grinning like a chimp.

No one who is married ever experiences that level of smugness combined with relief and he was soon spotted in Lordship Lane. Taken to the forced marriage and breeding camps like so many others.


Now it's August 2011. Again the synopsis makes dark reading. Yeah, a few of them got ridden on the odd occasion, but at the end of that period 33 singletons had been converted, 7 removed from the area, 4 destroyed and five unaccounted for.


There's only me left.


Last month my final contact went dark. I recently saw someone who I thought was him walking on Goose Green, wearing clothes designed for someone ten years younger than him, sporting a goatee, trendy specs and pushing a buggy. I never

thought the change would get him, but it always does. It always does.


I've also started noticing odd things happening within myself recently. Sometimes I'll wake up sweating, mumbling in a patronising voice, "Oedipus,don't do that to mummy...". Other days I'll wake up with a hangover and remember that at some time in the night I bought a bottle of wine. Twice its even been prosecco. Prosecco. I've found myself jogging on occasion, chopping herbs from time to time and even doing my laundry on a regular basis.


The final straw is posting on the East Dulwich Forum. The place has got me; in two weeks I'll be married to a hip-mum and have two children with very individual names.


Don't weep for me, I'm already lost...

No worries Tombowler, it's a monthly thing so come along to the next one. It will no doubt be advertised on here. If you go to the What's on in East Dulwich section there is a thread called Sunday Lunch Club for Singles. Get in touch with the girls Emma and Emily and maybe they will save you a spot for next month.

If Man City are to be genuine title contenders this season then they need to acquire a top notch playmaker in midfield.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
