>>Might be worth mentioning, that the forum is getting new users all the time, and they probably can't be arsed reading ever thread (I know I wouldn't), so there's bound to be some repitition! You could always just NOT READ IT<<


A fair point. Perhaps the Lord High Administrator could consider a FAQ/New Readers Start HERE section whoch would be (a) read only and (b) cover things like Indian reastaurants, Sunday lunches, motor fuel retailers and credit cards, chains & The Joy of Starbucks, M & S coming/not coming to ED etc etc..?

Yes I apologise if I was poking fun.

I have posted this a couple of times

I realise not everyone hangs around on development forums for a living (very dull believe me), so not everyone's tech savvy, but that link is a very good starting point for some online community guidelines.

I know the Administrator's thought a lot about this however it would lead to the issue that there would be a terms and conditions page, an FAQ page and a new reader page and people won't read all of them. We could make the "Read this first" prominent when you register but again we don't like putting hurdles in front of the registration process. As Ant said it will take a bit of updating but I think the onus could possibly be on the regulars to say "this has been discussed over here" rather than "tsk, not again" but then everyone's free to do what they want (within reason). So yes we may introduce a "read this first, it'll help" page if the need arises. Ooops, look like this thread's gone off topic.


Has Coriander only got one "r" in it?

I had my first meal from the Coriander the other day, and I have to say I was far from impressed. I had handi lazeez and the mrs had gajor chicken. Hers was so-so, punctuated by the occasional searing-hot chilli. Mine was brown slop devoid of flavour or spice. My chapati was dry and tasted stale, but on the plus side the bombay potato was very nice.


Perhaps it was just an off-night, but it was still quite a disappointment.

Haven't tried the Coriander yet but will have to. I've been going to Surma recently - good curries but don't order a pint of Cobra. I did and it tasted like battery acid!


I used to go to Pistachio Club and - this seems to be the thing with a lot of the takeaways on L Lane- the first couple of meals were delicious, and then once you go regularly, they start getting a bit lazy. I stopped going to PS after ordering a veg balti which turned out to be almost entirely onions! Their eat-in menu is good though.

There's an ad for Surma in the latest edition of Glossy Advertorial (aka Living South) where they invite readers to "find out what makes them officially the best Indian restaurant in East Dulwich". They say Officially because it was "voted for by the registered users of the East Dulwich Forum". Since when were we official? This kind of status could go to people's heads. For what it's worth, Surma, I voted Coriander.

Went to Coriander on Saturday, on the back of recommendations from here... seriously people, do you have no taste buds?


Lamb Dupiaza - bland, tasteless

Chicken Tikka Massala - very sweet, bordering on sickly

bhindi bhaji - incredibly salty


I know some people are bound to say that we should have gone for the specials, rather than bog-standard curries. But we were trying to keep the cost down... and besides, if they can't even get the basic dishes right, I'm not inclined to try anything more adventurous.


On the plus side, the starters were OK, and at least the curries were not overly greasy (like in Surma, for instance). And it was thankfully devoid of damp, cracked plaster and peeling wallpaper (like, oh, perhaps in Surma).

    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
