Sydenham Town Forum

Look at this guy. You make a criticism of his party and he responds with threats of libel and 'be very careful'. Interesting.

Reality check - there is no life outside this country without EU membership, other than the lap dog of a rapidly declining US. Note that there are now more Fortune 500 companies based in Europe than the US. Europe has massive economic and social potential - why else do you think even the Tories are ...

As anyone one who watched that Kilroy Silk programme the other week will testify, UKIP is a joke - a party of laughable, borderline racist old fogies. And you are just reinforcing that with your post. I am by no means 100 per cent in favour of a a united Europe in the form that it is currently takin...

MISSING: My cat has been missing since earlier this week. Any information on his whereabouts would be greatly appreciated. He's a standard-looking moggy, really - big, jet black, about 3ft tall and 5ft long nose to tail. Snarls a lot. Enjoys the occasional bloody rampage. Answers to the name of Tidd...

Daisy, my previous post was a bit of an injoke. I have had my problems with the ticket checkers, however, and recently made a complaint about them to the relevant people. No response as of yet, however.

Sounds like a plan, Stuart.

I saw that article as well, megan. Are people really scared to walk the streets because of this, or is that the Standard going overboard as usual?

The Sun has a pic of the guy's injuries. The work of a 'beast'?

With the tube on its way to Sydenham, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few enterprising people open up bars and cafes in the area in the next few years. It would certainly bring some much needed variety to the area. As I mentioned in another thread Sydenham is lagging behind Forest Hill in this r...

Sounds like a good idea, admin. I've noticed that some newcomers to the site have started conversations in one thread that were already ongoing in another thread. At first glance, the number of sections in the forum does seem a bit convoluted and unclear (there is a fair bit of crossover between 'An...

Rather you than me, trying to keep a cat in against its will is not fun. There's a good article in the Guardian today re. the Sydenham Pink Panther. It makes the point that "it has probably slunk off to a neighbouring suburb to become the Penge Panther, the Catford Cheetah or the Beast of Becke...

That would be one hell of a moggy, Adam - the guy reckons it was 6 ft long. Although he's also quoted as saying, "This thing knew what it wanted. If I was weak I think it could have killed me and then it could have gone on to hurt my family and everything else." Hmmm...An interesting, if s...

Or it could be a Black Shuck. These are supposed to wander the East Anglian countryside. But you never know, maybe one of them got fed up with wandering the East Anglian countryside and headed for Sydenham for a change of scenery. This is possibly the weakest of my three theories. http://www.edp24.c...

Great - just what the area needs - another estate agent.

Adam, I'm not sure what his favourite TV show is, but I hear that his favourite film is the Sound of Mew-sic. Another possibility is that some idiot bought the cat as a pet when it was young, couldn't handle it when it grew up and got rid of it at the first available opportunity. Wasn't there a stor...

You mean apart from the 'beast of Sydenham' that is terrorising the area at present? What did you have in mind exactly - things to do, pubs, restaurants etc? I would be happy to offer some suggestions.

To your right is the newsagents where the cat buys his daily paper and magazines. Unconfirmed reports suggest the cat's favourite magazine is Good Mousekeeping. What will they call the cat if he is caught by the police? The purrpatrator. Police have advised local residents not to approach the cat as...

Bit pricey, Adam. Anyone got a spare £4,500 knocking around that they don't want? Failing that, I suppose we could just herd the tourists around the area by foot, giving a running commentary along the way - e.g. 'and this is the high street where ye olde Pink Panther of Sydenham ran amok during 1983...

Definitely. We could make a fortune from American and Japanese tourists - come see ye olde beast of Sydenham...they love that kind of stuff. Altogether now... Well here he is - The Sydenham Pink Panther, The Sydenham Pink Panther. Everybody loves a Sydenham panther that's pink, He really is a groovy...

How about 'the rather large cat of Sy - denham'?

Adam, I see that the Standard, in typically understated fashion, are calling the cat 'the Beast of Sydenham'. Big cats have feelings too, you know! It must have been an unpleasant experience for the person concerned, but I'm not sure if scratching someone puts an animal in 'beast' territory. http://...
