Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

Has anyone else still got low water pressure since that burst water main? My shower has never recovered.
 
Jam session happening in the Horns on Tuesday. Bring your instrument and see what happens.
 
Is this a regular thing? Any more details?
This will be the first time. There was a guy with a guitar playing last night and I think he is organising it. He didn't say anything more than what I wrote there though.
 
No idea. There were chefs in there a week or so back and a van parked up with 'Japanese Food Wholesale' or somesuch on the side. This morning there was a huge pile of bottled water packs stacked against the window. I keep seeing a young couple in there sat a table, smiling at a laptop. So, Japanese restaurant? Trendy water shop for beards? Internet porn cafe? God knows. What's been driving us (and Carlos) mad for the last 5 months is that the whole maisonette above (ie next to us) has been gutted out and is being rebuilt by the world's slowest and noisiest builders.

I saw the water...I didn't see no nori.
 
It aint gonna be japanese. It's a bunch of white middle class people in and out all week. About 5 of 'em sat around a table on laptops when I just went by.
 
Lots of bottled water? Middle class white people with laptops? Sounds suspiciously like a Foxtons branch in the making :hmm:
 
New 24 hr gym opening apparently

Because who wouldn't want to do a couple of miles on a treadmill when coming home from the club all pilled up at 5 am on a Saturday morning?
 
Still be interested in their standard rates though, and what kit they have. Much as I like the lovely West Norwood Leisure Centre I think a council gym, even if contracted out, should be less than the current £44.50pm.

It says their normal headline price is £36.95, which is pretty good - no mention of the sneaky 'joining fee' like you get at other gyms.

Oh. The security fob is 35 quid.
 
What does 'classes on demand' mean? You can just go in and say I want a class now?

Its if enough people go in and ask for a particular class then they'll look to run it. I'm sure thats what they told me when one opened up near work.
 
Wouldn't fancy running in park or up hills at 2am (nor in a gym but guess it's good for shift workers) Def cheaper than lido if those are monthly rates.

Has anyone used one of these places? I'm a member at the lido but I really like classes (as opposed to working out alone in the gym). Does anyone know if these places tend to have many? It certainly is much cheaper that either the lido or the Better membership.

I've been tempted recently to put my lido membership on hold till Spring and get a "Better" one for a change. The lido membership (Fusion) gives you access to other Fusion gyms but all the Southwark ones have recently changed to some other management company, so where I could use Dulwich and Camberwell previously for a bit of a change, I can't at the moment.

Also I love swimming but because of my work hours I can't swim at the lido through winter (and I wouldn't be able to do the same distances anyway), so I'm having to use Better pools a lot recently and also play a lot of badminton in Streatham and Crystal Palace.

Lastly my own work hours have increased so I can't make very many of the classes at the Lido these days. What I would miss though is the sauna/steam room, especially in winter.

eta... I've done the sensible thing and just emailed them. :D

hmmm I spent quite a bit of time researching reviews for this chain online last night and they were pretty awful tbh. Lots of warnings about being tied into quite dodgy contracts and awful management etc.
