Unfortunate in some cases, I like to look for the best in people before getting, it this case, nastily sceptical. I won't apologize for that. Obviously I haven't been around these forums long enough to witness this... & why on earth would someone go through the trouble of saying such things?


Sadly I missed the good stuff. I don't know what was said for the thread to be closed...

It is becoming a bit of a vicious circle though - occasional (and regular) posters form a view that the EDF is made of cliquey/racist/homophobic/sexist/posh/middle-class/nimbys*, so they post stupid things to try and get a rise out of people, which means that vaguely dodgy threads do get jumped on by regulars, which leads to certain people forming a view...and so on.


I came across a thread on another localish forum last year where someone had posted extracts from one of the more infamous lounge threads. Taken out of context it looked pretty bad, and several people on that board reported back they had signed up to stir the pot here.


Not sure there's much we can do about it, but it does seem to be happening with increasing regularity.

All "Fishermen" enjoy a good "haul".


I remember at Grammar School some Guys would stand in Brixton Road and point to the top of the building, sometimes creating a local stir. Once the crowd gathered to significant proportions the instigators would slip away leaving a motley group of strangers pointing, trying to establish what they were supposed to be looking for...;-)

Now that I do like !

Perhaps it gives the fakers some sense of meaning int their tiny pathetic little lives, hunched all sweaty over the rigs, grinding themselves furiously at the thought of conning some uppity middle class dulite with one keyboard while gaining palpitations as they post lengthy reviews on some niche site about their latest motherboard upgrade (most of us have barely touched upon 1% of the Internet I seem to recall being told) on the other keyboard.


It doubtless makes up for the lack of interaction in the real world where they would die for a smile from the pretty Bulgarian shop girl at their local shop as they buy pepperami and the latest copies of Wired and Edge (they'd never dare add to their stack of porn while she's working of course).


Of course what would I know, I'm doubtless utterly an inferior intellect, I don't even speak a word of Klingon.

??Extradite the lot of them to the Guantanamo I say!!

Hahaha! :))




I found the whole Brothel situation far more frustrating & not in the slightest entertaining, so I can't really see where this lewishamMan (? whatever) was going with this...

Any connection between these any events and the recent reemergence of allfornun perchance?


As for brothels, many years ago I read electricity meters for a living and found myself in one at Vauxhall Station, masquerading as a reflexology, reiki, legit massage place.

    • The govt research cited earlier in this thread suggests that the number of foreign uni students seeking places is reducing and that this is nothing to do with available accommodation but rising uni course fees and issues to do with visas. 
    • Just seen them! Moved into Barry Rd 33 years ago and remember watching dozens of them in the sky as we sat in the back garden the first evening. Look out for them every year. Lifts your spirits when they arrive. 
    • Aleksandra was the driving force behind the conversion of what was a nice but very outdated house into what is now my beautiful, vibrant and modern home. I cannot recommend her enough- she was a pleasure to work with- she has an uncanny eye for detail and her sense of style is unparalleled. She knew where to push me beyond my “safe beige” colours but always kept my personality and preferences in mind. She sourced fabric / colours / lighting designs , she found local options for spectacular interior ideas in the kitchen , display cabinets , bathrooms , bedrooms and wardrobes. She never went beyond budget and was very timely in her execution. The result was a beautiful home that even after 8 years looks as stunning as it did when first put together. It is as liveable as it is beautiful and none of it would have been possible with Alexandra. I truly could not recommend her highly enough- there are few people with her work ethic and style. Thank you Alexandra !
    • The Lib Dems are against tightening visa requirements to live in the UK and against shrinking the university sector, and also (at least in Dulwich) against housing being built if it means that foreign students live in it. 🤷
