I am so excited.


Its not often you get to celebrate 60 years of a monarch. Usually dynasties like this are executed or burned at the stake for their rapacious and murderous legacy. Im sure the tens of millions of people across the world who live in abject poverty due to the colonial exploits of our rulers will also be giving thanks as well.


May the offspring of middle european rape and pillage barons and thugs continue to rule over us and produce bountiful idiot offspring to keep the family line intact and in power.


Good luck and enoy your Jubilee East Dulwich.Just remmeber that your Union Flag is dripping in the blood and tears of hundreds of millions of victims.

The exploits of the Empire were indefensible and anyone who tries to defend them deserves to be drowned in a slurry pit.


But does this really have anything to do with people 100 years down the line engaging in the self-validating ritualization of royalty as the symbol of national strength and wealth? Wasn?t this being done long before the empire existed anyway?


It may all be pointless to the objective observer but just because Middle England is donning its glad rags to do a rain dance for their chief doesn?t make them complicit in subjugation and genocide.

I've been pratising the right amount of ironic detachment, "can't deny the kids a sight of history - and it's on their doorstep" position. This seems to be the correct compromise to make. But I can't promise some emotion won't sneak in when I see that great armada go past.


I always wanted a boat.

Much of the current deplorable condition of the world is due to the machinations of such power groups their continued existance. In this sense, it is irrelevant to dismiss the sins of the fathers in this case, though this is trotted out by guardianistas as a simpering hand wringing sop to ease the national collective guilt.


If we celebrate this shower of shites, then we are all implicitly supporting a legacy of genocide, murder & slavery bludz.


Still, you get your day off and all is well. God bless her majesty & her disfunctional turd smeared idiot family and their hangers on.


Your Queen not mine

Personally I'd agree the royal family is an anachronism with no place in a modern democratic society but I'm too lazy to get worked up about it, particularly when HM is so utterly dedicated and dignified compared with the elected sleaze monkeys, greedy ba$tards and self-promoters, but once she's no longer with us I think it's time to abolish it. I don't see how anyone could even think they're particularly 'royal' any more - William has less than half royal blood and his children will have less than a quarter and there must be plenty of other people walking around with at least as much.


On the other hand, the special edition Ma'amite is branding genius and I'm going to buy one today if there are any left.

Yes... and the 'agent' in high heels, lipstick and a shiny black mac 'n hat looks surprisingly masculine...


I think Agent Elliot Nette has gone rogue...



ETA: ...or do I mean rouge?

Yes, I know it's out of control, out of control:


Greasy machinery slides on the rails,


Young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled.


Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones;


Iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams,


Mind and machinery box-press the dreams.


But there still is time....

Why would your grandfather want to be hanging in the ruins of Buckingham Palace? And even if he was, I doubt he'd see the royal family from there.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025 

      By Sue · Posted

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
