At this festive time of year, older people in society (ME) are sat around at home twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to happen. Often left with just a few bottles of Malbec to keep them going, they find themselves needing to interact with people. Thousands (ME) of people are using local Internet forums to socialise and air their opinions with the outside world, and yet so many (ME) find themselves locked away like a criminal in a prison cell (The Lounge), waiting to communicate (snipe at and ridicule) with newcomers (yuppies) to the area. This appeal goes out directly to admin, to allow these isolated folk (ME) to once more communicate their thoughts with the larger community. Come on its Christmas, how would you feel if someone you loved was locked up in this way? All donations go towards daffodil restoration on GG come spring.


Louisa.

Would someone explain this simple question with a simple answer.


News and gossip, Lounge I read both so why would it matter where you posted?


I cannot see why you are in Siberia as people will read what you post and answer. East Dulwich or the real world? Does it matter?

Get with it Lou.

Everybody knows that for a Christmas appeal to work, you need a visual to tug at the heartstrings of your intended target audience.


A tear stained face of an orphaned child...


A sad eyed face of a lost and abandoned puppy...


Or in your case, a geriatric necking the Drambuie...

Right you lot. Listen, and listen good. Open up your crusty, moth savaged wallets and get donating to the forum. Not because you get a lovely little gold star, nor because you love how useful it is to communicate with like minded folk and share in the joy of living in East Dulwich. No, none of that bollocks. Donate, because if you don't, I won't be allowed back in the main section where I can spread joy and happiness (aka keep you lot entertained on your lunch break). The forum needs your help, so please get donating now, alright?


Louisa.

The old Louisa is dead, I've promised myself and a few others to not steer back into previous conversational favourites of mine, and as yet have not done so. Then someone tries to push my buttons to get me to talk about a topic I have tried to leave behind me. So rather than rise to that, I am back with a completely different take on local issues. I refuse to be drawn on Iceland, class or parents with a buggy. From now on, I want to be taken seriously, any drinks events on the horizon? I refuse to be trolled back into previous topics.


Fail...

Sorry, not prepared to rise to it this time :)


Louisa.

As I said elsewhere (reminded by robbin's contribution).

    • Thanks for the info Sue it must be really prolific ATM if Kings have an advisory audio when we call.   So all in all we think this illness was probably caused by Noro virus and not by  ice cream of any flavour. 
    • Thank you, apologies for the delayed response. I’ve just seen this

    • There was a competition to name the old Uplands when it was taken over by the person  who owned the Bishop,  and "The Actress" won for obvious reasons 🤣 The Foresters was vile (in my opinion). I'm interested that there are still problems with the smell from the Gents, because in the Foresters days you could smell it as soon as you went in, and my memory is that  it felt like you were squelching your way over the carpet, though I'm sure that can't have been true 🤣
