Seen Anyone Famous In East Dulwich?

[ratty]

I think I heard that Brook and Zane bought a house near Village Way somewhere.

I think I would have to be sick on both of them if I clapped eyes on them!

Naughty Toksvig!

Mr Pienar lives in my street with his lovely lady who is the editor or producer of the Daily Politics Show.

[buggie]

have met Mr Pinear and his family several times through my job, and he has always been very nice and his children are very cute.

[buggie]

think I saw Kate Thornton in Sainsburys the other week - slightly superceded by a grumpy Martin Jarvis in Boots in Covent Garden later the same day though!!

[TillieTrotter]

One of the Cheekygirls was drinking in the Dog with her mother just after Xmas!

[James]

Touch my bum!

[TimN]

Rod Liddle, journalist, former editor of Today and subject of tabloid expose, was buying a paper on Lordship Lane today. He probably reads the forum. Hi Rod.

[mockney piers]

Ooh, saw him on Channel 4 last night in West Bank. Good Stuff. Good Lad.

[SeanMacGabhann]

So now you know who he is mp?

[chichirara]

He wrote a rather rude piece about Dulwich a while ago so he probably doesnt go out and about that much

[chichirara]

Oops didn't read the bit about him reading the forum sorry Rod

[Keef]

I can't stand that smug, self righteous tw@t!!!! He genuinely reminds me of Clarkson!!!

Fair enough, some of the people I've seen him interview have been talking nonsense, but his way of doing things seems to be along the lines of "if you disagree with me, you're wrong".....

Hope I'm not thinking of the wrong person here, and sure he's had worse criticism if he reads this....

[Muttley]

You got the right person Keef. Here's an excerpt from an article he wrote last year in The Times about life in his new home in East Dulwich:

"Everyone living down my road who isn?t a baby or a mum is a semi-famous lesbian comedian who occasionally crops up on Radio 4, being gently arch about something.....Where on earth can I be? I?ll tell you where: London metropolitan suburbia. Dulwich, to be precise, a place which makes Crouch End resemble Compton on a bad day. Its very name is a giveaway, pronounced Dull Itch...But how Lordship Lane has changed! All those lovely food shops and bars and restaurants: if we can get rid of Somerfield and Iceland and Cafe Nero, we will truly be back in 1950 ? which was a much better place to be, by all accounts, except for the Korean war and the tail end of rationing, and rickets and polio. Right now we have a butcher, a few bakers, a candlestick-maker, boiled-sweet shops and a strange outlet that sells only white things. It?s like living in Trumpton."

hahahaha.

Makes you wonder why he moved here

[Ant]

I dunno - thought it was quite funny myself. He doesn't impinge on my life much, so I don't really know much about the guy, but it strikes me that just because he wrote it, it doesn't necessarily follow that he thinks it himself. Or thinks it to that extent and with that particular slant. Perhaps he's writing in a persona, for an effect, whatever.

/devil's advocate

[capt_birdseye]

So now we finally know snorky's real name!

[TillieTrotter]

LOL at Capt

[mockney piers]

Hmm might be something in that. Snorky, do you have a disturbing resemblance to David Walker, ex non executive editor of the FT?

[Jimmy Mac]

I have scrolled through 8 pages and I don't think anyone has actually said they have seen Linda Barker in East Dulwich. I have. On Tuesday evening she was walking up Lordship Lane, past the EDT.JM

[James]

I saw her in the Fusion gym ages ago, having a personal trainer sesh. Have also seen Helen Lederer there (comedienne with crazy eyes - remember her?)

He also supports the Lions and holds court at Franklins.

[Jah Lush]

Linda Barker? lovely lady lives round the corner from me. Looks even better in the flesh.

And Helen Lederer lives on the same road but a stones throw away. Oh it's like Mulholland Drive up here.
