Welcome to the forum computedshorty.


Before starting threads you might want to try doing a search, using the search box top right, to see if there's already a thread running on your topic that you could add to. The forum has been running for a while now and lots of things have come up before. It's always good to hear new voices and new opinions, but seeing the same threads satrted over and over does start to get a bit dull.

Don't be put off computedshorty... I found it very interesting. Maybe I missed the fascinating previous thread.

Actually, think I might have seen it but it wasn't very good. Nobody mentioned people like James Nesbitt, Jenny Eclair, the girl from Gavin and Stacey, Monica Ali or a number of other people.

The forum is for everyone not just those who are long in the tooth and continually looking for something new.

Since you missed them, Gimme, here's the first thread, the second thread, the third threadand the fourth thread on the topic.


You're obviously not alone in finding the subject fascinating and, if you look through, you'll find everyone you've listed plus an awful lot more mentioned.


I'm not trying to put anyone off, but it does get a bit tedious when things just go round and round.

I'm with Anna.


If you are new you cannot be expected to read the whole back catalogue, but that is where the search function comes in handy.


After sometime on here, you will be old hands and experience the same groan when someone new starts something old.

Surely the idea of the Gossip section is for bored people to kill a few minutes / hours etc.

So what if the discussion has been had before. "Famous people in Dulwich" is hardly a thread designed to exchange information.


I can see the point of someone asking "anyone got any advice on sash windows" and being pointed to the thousands of posts on it but the point of gossiping isn't the same. Computedshorty probably didn't start the thread to get information but rather to have a natter and kill a bit of time.


Do we really want guardians of the forum who tell people what they can and cant natter about?

I don't. If I see a thread that asks "what's the best curry in ED?" I just don't open it.

If you don't like what's on, change channel.
