Sydenham Town Forum

Oh, and you cannot swear and you cannot use the threat of violence...

We're all waiting El Syd - make it legible also please.

Yours impatiently,

Gregory Dickhead.

Doesn't this thread typify what this forum has become sadly; i.e. the inane ramblings of a minority of people who insist on posting all the time even when they have nothing to say? If you don't have any factual information on what this shop might become then why type irrelevant drivel? I used to br...

Ok, point taken admin. Let us concentrate then on one of the points I made earlier regarding the bins please. I must admit to having being constantly impressed with the amount of street-sweepers here in Sydders. All day, every day they are up and down Sydenham Road fastidiously picking up litter. I ...

I have to admit the majority of local hostelries I have frequented down the years have tended to allow dogs in them. However this grave cause for concern usually remedied itself after a few pints of the local brew.

. If there are enough no's then she will think twice about opening ANOTHER sodding pound-shop that is a sore on the face of the high-street (doesn't she actually ever SEE how few people actually frequent these god-forsaken blights on the high-street)? At least three of those supposed pound shops ar...

Oh, ok. I mistakenly assumed the Town Centre Manager would wield some power in these matters. I had always blamed her for the mainly down-at-heel nature of Sydenham Road. I had always felt the preference for chicken shops, nail-parlours and pound shops were as these are her favourites (or should tha...

I made a suggestion yesterday that may have gotten lost in the thread. I'll cut and paste it below. How viable do we think this idea is? Quotation as follows: I do wonder if we shouldn't devote some space on this forum to a 'vote for the next shop' system. Julie Sutch could earn her considerable cor...

Any fans of the original 'Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy' will tell you that Mice are indeed Aliens...(I think it was mice at least). Any HHGTTG fans out there to put me straight? They're somewhere between aliens and deities - they created the earth. I'm not a nerd, honest.. :lol: Thank you Natbe...

We did once have one mouse which my partner Katherine happened upon in our hallway. I think it might have been on a 'recce' for a new place to live. Anyway, the scream she emmited had the mouse turning on it's heels and running away - it's never been seen since. I guarantee you it would best any son...

Here's a potted history for you.

You may note the Samhain link natbeuk?

The Osama Bin Laden effigy did generate quite a few newspaper inches for the Lewes Bonfire Society.

Ah Bensonby. I wondered if it would the Harvey's reference or the anti-papist slant to the proceedings that would get you posting. I understand where you are coming from. As a roman catholic [by indoctrination since birth through to 'confirmation'] the sight of the Pope having fireworks thrown at hi...

Hi Greg...now, I know I've been moaning about you on the CP thread, but I have a question about the lewes bonfire night thing. Had you? I've re-read the thread again and certainly didn't see it as personal. Think nothing of it, you're entitled to your view, it's a forum for debate, however forcibly...

Sorry if I inadvertently cast aspersions on your good name parklife. It's just that this chap was so blown away by how good the live band was I did wonder if it was your good self. I agree we could do with some more places to 'go'. I remember going to Coldplay at CPP stadium a few years ago and whil...

Damn you Greg, I thought that handbag was mine! She won it from this site http://www.koodos.com/icat/chloehandbags - we've yet to see it as it's being delivered by bike to her work but rest assured if she keeps it (some Chloe handbags whilst terrifically expensive are really rather gaudy) you can h...

Perhaps next time you could just ask to borrow one of their business cards and write your name, address and telephone number on the back Savvy? I wouldn't have thought they'd mind. The business card draw (like most competitions) is normally a way for a business' to build up their customer database s...

I say - support the New Crystal Palace. And if you don't live close to it, keep your negative opinions to yourself. A round of applause Ladies and Gentlemen for "DieBremste" - if you choose not to spell my name correctly then I shall respond in kind. Or should that be verzögerte instead o...

Does anyone have any experience of pond life (please Greg, this is not an invitation for you to start a rant) and whether we should go ahead. I tend to find gargling with salt-water helps. That written I notice on the attached thread you called someone named sean 'greg' - the lady doth protest too ...

My guess is that it's a regular poster.

When Admin gets back from Sicily I might ask him to see if the iP address correlates to anyone already registered - be they he OR she...

He was a tall chap Sally. Full head of grey hair, slim and was camped at the bar. We just struck up a conversation whilst I was waiting to be served and he mentioned how great the night before was (No tittering at the back thank you :wink: ). According to this chap Errol Linton had been at a club on...
