There certainly used to be one held weekly in Kingswood House... But perhaps some of the pubs and coffee bars could be persauased to supply outdoor tables during the summer. It is so civilied and continental (in a good way) to contemplate the Sicilian whilst sipping espresso and observing the passing humanity no?

I used to be quite good at chess til I was about 18 (****). Then people said you are a mathematician so you must be good at chess. This raised the goalposts to the point where I decided not to risk being only mediocre at chess. So I stopped playing.


**** clearly any evidence as to whether I was good at chess at 17 has been lost in the mists of time so I can make this statement without feer of repraisal.

I'm a real chess lover (although not a great player) and recently found out that there is a Dulwich Chess Club. It meets every Monday from 8pm upstairs at the Crown and Greyhound in the Village. Here's the website;

See you there!

Perhaps various EDF related events should take place on different cycles of 8 days so that

- no one is excluded from other events

- people who have regular commitments elswhere (eg I have choir on most thurs) can come at least some of the time


The astute reader will note my degree subject from a previous similar posting :-)

That sounds like a good plan. How about starting the Chess this coming Tuesday, then the following Weds etc etc? Should the venue be a bar?

Andrew where is your choir and are they professionals? My partner is looking for a choir to join but for fun and to learn rather than one that is already outstanding.

Jamie, there's an a cappella group that I think rehearses at Horniman's each week. They do a mixture of musical styles, and it's all quite casual from what I'm told. You could google it, or I can find out more details if you like... I was told about it by someone, but never got round to looking in to it.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
