I know this maybe the thread that never goes anywhere, but I would like to say that I am very interested in collecting Orchids and was just wondering if there are any serious collectors or even just people who love an orchid in East Dulwich? I would like to ad a few more unusual Orchids to my collection to brighten up my new pad and was wondering if there are any shows or a local branch of the orchid society i could join. If any one has seedlings they would like to sell I would be very interested!!


thanks

Iain.

George Eliot on an unsuccessful marriage: "To the last [he] occasionally let slip a bitter speech which was more memorable than the signs he made of his repentance. He once called her his basil plant; and when she asked for a explanation, said the basil was a plant which had flourished wonderfully on a murdered man's brains."

Iain take this as you see fit.


I and my friends like to grow a bit of dope over the summer and we often get quite competative concerning the end result. I don't go in for all this hightech halogen lights malarky but instead prefer to cultivate some good Sensimelia.


What I've discovered through various underground publications is that Orchids are very similar to Marijuana as in the seeds are often cross breed hybrids. A good tip for growing homegrown as well as Orchids is to water them with mineral water and to use only fruit peel as fertilizer.


Good luck.

I like orchids, but the flowers always decide they've had enough and then they die, anybody got any advice?


when the flower dies cut the stork down to the next joiny bit on the stem it should sprout a new flower shoot, also feed your orchid every two weeks and make sure it does not stand in water!!

I grow poppies in quartzite hewn by hand from the hindu kush, oooooh they should be ready to harvest soon. I feed mine with the blood of counter insurgents and fill the air with cordite to make them feel at home.


Cant wait to get smacked out of my brains in the very near future & just think all this from the foothills of Sydenham & a low carbon footprint.



What recession ? by the time I come to it should be all over.



Oh & f**k your Orchids, poppies rock.




WOW MAN W**F

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
