Please can anyone tell me why there is so much utter rubbish and waffle posted on here at times amongst the glorious reviews, adverts, and informative happy to read threads. I have used this forum for years , so why do some members ruin it with unethical unrelated and boring posts????
If you're after reviews, adverts and useful information, then I wouldn't really spent your time reading the lounge.... It's just a place for people to chat, which will sometimes be frivolous, sometimes interesting, sometimes dull and occasionally offensive.

It's about time some of us forum members were given the opportunity to open specific threads in which we offer advice and expert knowledge on things we know quite a bit about. Foxy and computershorty for example would be great examples, maybe dedicating a specific hour or two each week to a thread in which they discuss topics such as local history or magic etc it would be a great honour for me personally to dedicate an hour or two each week discussing spiritualism and hauntings (without having my thread taken over by radical thinking piss takers who like to mock everything I say!).

A thread dedicated to pubs would be great. Not just local pubs - but pubs we've experienced on our travels too. Somewhere for people to come for advice on nice places to visit and stay in, discuss alcoholic drinks past and present.

In fairness, this thread was Lounged from originally being posted in General Issues/Gossip.


IMO, if having room for waffle and banality means more users, then that's more sets of eyes seeing the more practical posts and ads, so it all works out well.

"It's about time some of us forum members were given the opportunity to open specific threads in which we offer advice and expert knowledge on things we know quite a bit about."


Could there be a 'miserable' section for negative posts, a 'genius' section for everything I post, and finally (I've always fancied this) an 'Arts' section for people to share their creativity - example threads perhaps being poetry and scribblings, output (photos of paintings/creations), music (your recordings [get in there Otta]), 'Events' (in the arts world).

    • So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again.  The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you.
    • Are there any Physical Activity (Bronze) approved providers near East Dulwich? Any ideas would be highly appreciated!      
    • The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey.  It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming.
    • Avoid Acorn at all cost. Appalling service in every regard. We were involved in a sale and they repeatedly made procedural errors that delayed, and almost tanked, the sale. As buyers, they knew literally nothing about the property and were unable to answer even the most basic questions. Instead they simply lied rather than saying they didn’t know any information which caused issue in the long run. I hear only positive things about Truepenny’s.
