I had a question (admin deleted) about girls getting their hair cut in the barbers - ok it was a bit tongue in cheek, but the last time I was in the barbers, there was a girl having her hair cut before me.


No law against that of course, but a bit unusual, in fact I've never come across it before. Wasn't meant to be an insult. Maybe I'm just a bit straight laced.

I posted too and that was deleted. I don't understand why...this is the Lounge. My post referred to DJKQ flirting with two dogs (Woof and Artful)...again tongue in cheek. Those 3 posters' posts have been deleted too. I thought it was OK to go off topic in the lounge.:(

I agree with you Narnia and others...this is the lounge. The thread should be elsewhere, maybe even in the what's on section if is to be kept purely on topic. Or maybe someone should start a thread 'lesbianism in East Dulwich' where woof, artful, and others can post without fear of being deleted. Should I start complaining to admin everytime any of the guys post on my ladies football thread? (btw mac...look at what women get charged for a cut in a haridressers, compared to a barbers....you'll see the answer, and if I had short hair I'd do the same)


Back to on topic though...Strawbs when is the next Rye in the Rovers game as there has been nothing on the FB page for a month?

I used to go to a barbers to get my hair cut when it was short. I am not a lesbian. I also used to go to a particular hairdressers because they charged the same price for both men and women. I left them when they started charging more for the women.

I would also like to know if there is anywhere local to find gay friends. I've lived in East Dulwich for nearly a year now and I haven't found any gay bars/pubs here. I don't think the drinks at the Rye are organised by the pub itself, afaik it's by members of another forum who are otherwise not connected to the Rye. My partner and I did try it on a couple of occasions but it was a bit hit and miss - at the first one there were easily 60 people which was a bit overwhelming and the second time only two others turned up besides myself, my partner and another couple we know, so that was a bit weird. As the OPs sister will know Hackney has more than it's fair share, what's the deal!?

There aren't really any bars in ED. The nearest proper gay bar I would say is Southern Pride on Norwood High Street. If you don;t already know it, it has a pub at the front (where they do cabaret as well) and a club at the back with another bar and a good sized beer garden too. Clapham High Street has some bars too - more male than female though.


There used to be someone on here organising a pink drinks night every once in a while too but there hasn't been one of those for a while.

That's what I thought...or pubs or any gay/les venues at all, or even nights! How disappointing. Well if JD Wetherspoon doesn't take off maybe there will be a gap in the market for that venue! C'mon, amongst all those buggies on LL, I've seen a few crew cuts (please don't delete, *I am gay* after all and am too sozzled to work out my tongue from my cheek!)


So why are there no gay places to go then?

I like your post....but won't add to it as I'm in enough trouble as it is apparently lol!


I've lived in this area for twenty years and there's never been anything around here as far as I'm aware (apart from the monthly drinks at the Rye Hotel). We could organise something amongst ourselves though. Maybe restart the forum Pink Drinks. Can't remember who used to organise that (one of the guys I think), but it would just take picking a day, venue, and putting it in the 'what's on' section. It would be good to have something locally that's both les/gay in addition to the Rye Hotel thing once a month maybe.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
