Heads up - Interesting threads in the main section


Keef

Recommended Posts

I thought I'd start this, as I very rarely bother looking in the General ED issues bit fo the forum, as when I do, there is usually little that interests me.


HOWEVER (and it's a big however), I have missed such gems as the Squatters on Goose Green, and the deleted (very quickly) CPT Quiz thread), so I'd ask you all, if there is a thread worth reading, with the possibility of a good old disagreement, or laugh, can you please point it out here, so I can go and find it, and make my work days that much more interesting.


There is currently a good one about a 25 year old former Dulwich College student who got kicked in by some yoots. That is not funny. Some of the comments on the thread are.


Cheers.

Agreed Quids, there have been a few really cracking rows in that section!


Cheers legalbeagle. That proves the necessity for this thread, I would have totalle ignored that thread, and even now I'm 8 pages late.

Good heavens is that where all the interesting theads are hanging out now? Well thanks for the pointer. There's normally too much righteous indignation in the main section for me to take anything seriously but I'm off to have a gander now.

Keef, how very remiss of you not to read the ED section regularly. How can you appreciate the 'Murali - Goodrich Road' thread unless you had seen the original one over there?


Now you have no excuse not to contribute to Ted Max's excellent thread.

If I were you (which I am not - granted) I would send Admin a PM asking them why. It's only fair that you should be given the reason(s).


What have you got to lose? They are generally pretty reasonable.


While you are at it, you could ask them about the duration of the ban...it cannot be for life (can it?).


Good luck xx

Yes it can be for life if admin wants. It is admin's forum so admin can ban poeple as admin sees fit.


Note, I have no idea why the bans were put in place, and I think daizie is proper funny (especially when she has ventured in to the family room once or twice), but people need to realise that admin is not employed by some higher power to impose certain rules. Admin set this forum up, and payed for it. Yes people may donate, but that is an individual choice, and a donation, not a sunscription, so if admin decided they didn't like anyone called Keef, and decided to ban me for life, that would be admin's right.


Anyway, about those interesting threads in other sections...

I cannot disagree with anything you have said there Keef.


Of course, it is Admin's forum etc. But my point is that, given that they are a reasonable bunch and they do run the forum very well, I would have thought that they would have no problem furnishing Daizie with a reason. A life ban - which (to me anyway) would suggest a contravention of the Forum's rules of some magnitude - would (in my opinion) render the requirement to give a reason to our very amusing Daizie all the more necessary. But who am I eh?


Anyway...sorry to divert...back to these amusing threads...

There's a great thread now about an appalling attack by a gang of kids on a man in Dulwich.

And yup, someone's mentioned the NS words (national service).


And is this right, that daizie does not know the details of her crime? So therefore doesn't even know what she's doing wrong?

    • Did I say that?  I'm not sure why adults cycle on the pavement beyond the odd short cut, for a few metres, and even then walk the bike if there are people on it.  I don't condone unsafe riding.  I don't feel the need to go on about it, feel it gets disproportionate coverage when there are other issues, and that there is a sense that from some "oh the poor motorist"  and "its all those cyclists fault" that the "poor motorist is being victimised". I could post dozens of stories of dangerous driving that have affected me, I see it every day, but don't feel the need, and would of course have to balance this with the fact that most road users happily share space. I've asked some good questions about how you address 'antisocial cycling" but nobody has offered any answers - as this is a forum I'd be keen to understand. The Old Street enforcement is pretty rare and I doubt whether this will make much of a difference unless the police role this out wider.  They wont.  There is no political will.  I've been stopped by the police cycling maybe three times in twenty years, twice to invite me into the cab of a HGV as part of a safer cycling campaign, and once as they were doing security marking.  I've seen plenty of dangerous driving in plain view of police officers, more often than not illegal ebikes and food delivery riders.  Interesting reading a MPS FOI on cycling enforcement, 52 FPN in 5 years for cycling on pavements, therefore either it hardly happens or it is a low priority https://www.met.police.uk/foi-ai/metropolitan-police/d/september-2022/fixed-penalty-notices-issued-cycling-offences-london-january2017-august2022/                       Row Labels 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Grand Total   Cycling on footway 358 258 297 460 552 174 2099   Pedal cycle - contrave traffic sign   4 74 246 158 66 548   Pedal cycle - contravening automatic traffic signals 2445           2445   Pedal cycle - contravening constable on traffic duty   3   1     4   PEDAL CYCLE - CONTRAVENING DIRECTION GIVEN BY POLICE CONSTABLE / TRAFFIC SURVEY   3 1 1     5   Pedal cycle - contravening traffic signs 72           72   Pedal cycle - contravening warden on traffic duty   1     2   3   Pedal cycle - failing to stop for a police constable 17 11 16 18 24 10 96   Pedal cycle - lights not conforming or lit during hours of darkness 65 80 93 122 90 31 481   Pedal cycle - riding where prohibited 4 12 1       17   Pedal cycle - unauthorised passenger 1 2 6 6 3 2 20   Pedal cycle - without lights being fitted 8 6 2 9 13 4 42   Ride a pedal cycle on a footpath / causeway by the side of a road made / set apart for the use of foot passengers     9 16 14 13 52   Ride a pedal cycle on a road and fail to comply with the indication given by a traffic sign/light   3548 5893 4490 4751 2324 21006   Grand Total 2970 3928 6392 5369 5607 2624 26890                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
    • Hello - sorry to wade into this so late. If anyone is looking to drop off donations to the Community Fridge that runs from Albrighton Community Centre, please feel free to do so any day (seven days a week).  The centre open at 9.00am each day and reception is open until at least 5.30 each day.  We are very grateful for any donations between these times.  As I'm sure everyone can appreciate with food, energy, accommodation, and pretty much everything else costing more and more, the numbers of people that are struggling to support themselves is growing all the time, so we are grateful from whatever people are able to donate. As has been discussed in this thread, we do receive donations from Sainsburys and Marks & Spencer who donate unused food they have left over at the end of each day, and they also have customer donation boxes to allow customers to drop of extra items for us.  Locally Co-op, Lidl and Getir also support us, and slightly further afield, Brindisa, and Harrods also provide us with their unsold food. As some of you may be aware, unlike most food banks,  Community Fridges provide a lot of short life food.  Bread and cakes, as has been spoken about, but also dairy, meat, poultry and fish, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.  We can accept donations of all these foods, on condition that they are within their 'sell by' date, where applicable.  Food with an expired 'sell by' date cannot legally be sold, or in our case, given away, because potentially it could be harmful.  Best before dates are purely advisory however, so very often food past its best before date is perfectly edible and therefore assuming the food is in reasonable condition can be eaten safely. We are also adding a new string to our bow in the coming week. From 30th April, we will also be rehoming unwanted small electrical goods.  They must be clean and in working condition.  We will check them over and PAT test them, before rehoming them with people using the Community Fridge, so please dig through your cupboards and have a look what you can find. One final note, we are desperately short of volunteers at the Community Fridge, so please get in touch if you maybe have a little time to help out. Thank you Steve [email protected] w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_ t: albrightonse22
