Not sure how Charles Dickens character enters the fray

David Copperfield, magician, makes big things disappear - Statue of Liberty, stuff like that.

Back to Smart Chaps - its a great barbers - although I only trust two of them to cut my hair, the owner and his son.

I thought exactly the same a couple of weeks ago. Maybe Purelake have employed that David Copperfield bloke, and when they take the screens away - ta daaaaa! no boozer. To be honest, I think it looks daft stuck in the middle of a modern development, as well as the fact it provides a great little all...

It's not really local, but its hard to beat the football for kids on a Saturday morning at JAGS sports club on the other side of Dulwich Village - Danny is the best coach in the area, and makes it great for all the kids from 2 to 10 (with a variety of matches, to keep them all happy). It is from abo...

Who is/was 'Old Ma Wandy' ? - it sounds like the dialogue in a porno

Maybe get the street drinkers to go along for a sing song too - then we might see how tolerant their church is.

Along with everyone else, I was also shocked and horrified by events over the past few nights, and immediately thought that the only answer was water cannons, spraying the offenders with a coloured dye, and plastic bullets. I still believe - in the short term - that gangs who go out looting and sett...

Looks like it took about 10 minutes Seriously, cant we get something which looks a bit more modern? If it's going to adorn the busiest part of Sydenham for a good few years, we should get something with a bit more oooomph to it (my Grandma would have used the term 'with-it', which actually deserves ...

Apparently Hemingway would write something, then pare it down, and pare it down again, until he took all the excess out of it. Brilliant writing. I include Catcher in the Rye, as it seriously affected my outlook on life, when I first read it as a teenager. Having re-read it, I still think it is bril...

Pretty much anything by Hemingway should hit the mark - Death in the Afternoon is superb, as is A Farewell to Arms. To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm. Catcher in the Rye, anything by Iain Banks (for something more current) or Tom Robbins. Jake Arnott is cracking too, Dickens takes some beating. Fav...

Bad Manners, if you ask me.

Cool, but dont let Ozzy Ozborne know.

Hi Labanised

Where have you seen them?

I find them fascinating.

ha ha ha (or lol as the youth say)

classic!

If I'm not wrong, I think this thread was started by BBW, and it was about Big Issue sellers, so I will try to get it back on track. Besides, there are so many threads on the Forum, which turn into arguments on the British Class system, and head nowhere fast. I should know, I've contributed to most ...

Anyone remember the place? - I know it wasnt that long ago.

I never went in there, as they never seemed too inviting, whenever I was passing.

Was it any good?

After only seemingly reading negative stuff about The Dolphin, we went down there on Saturday night (first time eating in there for a good few months). I have to say it was really very good; we had a pretty wide selection of meals, including mussels, cod and rump steak, and each of them was perfect....

Spelling is the most important tool in a posters arsenal, mainly because it's so easy to lessen the impact of an opinion. Spelling Nazi's are the stinking putrid filth of the net It's the number one de-railer of heated debate. So it's okay to spell incorrectly on the internet is it? Why? I can acce...

Had to get some bread and basil the other night on the way home, and popped into the shop next to The Two Halves. Amazing place ! Great selection of cheeses from the Med - and an incredible selection of Middle Eastern breads (and the basil). I bought some Iranian bread (like a giant - and I mean GIA...

Shame on whoever did it.
