My good friend Lauren is featured in this show and I was in to watch it for the first time last night. It basically thrusts 5 twentysomethings into the far east and follows their attempts to survive on the absolute pittance people earn farming rice/processing food/keeping livestock. I found the whole thing a massive eye opener and was absolutely appalled at the conditions these people work/live in and the lengths they have to go to to provide for their families. Has put me off my monthly curry on the Lane for a while!! Did anyone else catch it?


All the episodes are on BBC iPlayer on the interweb...highly recommended viewing!

      Tennis clubs without a decade long waiting list

      By Joshkaplan · Posted

      Does anyone know of any local tennis clubs that don't have an obscene waiting list?    Have tried: North Dulwich LTC, Dulwich Sports Club, Old College Lawn, Camber lawn.    All saying like minimum 2-3 years for a place. If there's anywhere else worth checking, would love to know!

      John Otway at the Ivy and a question about Carter USM

      By malumbu · Posted

      Met Atilla at Forest Fest in Honor Oak last year.  Otway wasn't playing with him at the New Cross Gig.  A band called Newtown Neurotics also played but I don't remember them.  I also don't remember seeing Blur opening in a four band tour at the Academy around this time, or Pulp supporting St Etienne at the Shepherds Bush Empire a couple of years later. David Badiel and Rob Newman played the Venue around the same time; he is discussing this with Verne on Radio 2.  Googled for more info and oddly came up with this thread. I expect this will have zero interest for most of you. Unless you want to talk about famous bands you saw, but don't remember.

      James and his colleague just helped me move items between two flats in East Dulwich. He went above & beyond and is a really friendly guy, I will definitely use him again in the future.  James : 07904897508
