Worker - it's OK not to agree with someone's point of view - but the fact that you've gone out of your way to be unpleasant and personal is not OK.

Sorry Rosie. Not laughing when everyone else is falling about is like getting to a party when everyone is already drunk isn't it? Basically, I'm afraid I find most comedians unfunny. Sometimes I do find them funny and then I hear new material and it isn't funny at all. I've found Ricky Gervais really funny in the past, but not now. Eddie Izzard is never not funny.

Well done KK. I'm sure it's genuine; not a scam at all, so please send off your bank details with haste. I would like a new frock. Is that OK? I have expensive taste but that shouldn't be a problem now that you're minted. Alternatively, you can have hours of fun here http://www.419eater.com/

I'm so over the F word. It's not nearly so funny as comedians think it is. Is it their default for when their material isn't that funny? Daniel Kitson was the last (in a long line) of comedians who have worn it out. I'm not saying don't use it, but not in every sentence PLEASE.

Why not go out into the world every day and be open and friendly and sincere with everyone you meet? Surely better than making up some rule that says you have to say hello to everyone. I applaud you wanting to make the area a friendlier place though. On a side note, I like "old fashioned" greetings like "hello, welcome, good morning" etc. I detest "hello, how are you", "I'm fine how are you". Unless those people are close friends then it's just one insincere person communicating with another insincere person. If you doubt this, then the next time someone you hardly know says "how are you", then try telling them the truth. You might think, so what, it's just a greeting and it doesn't really matter. I think it does matter that we mean what we say. I'd rather people said nothing than said something phoney.

Cesar Millan speaks a lot of sense about dog psychology. You could order one of his books or watch him on YouTube. Good luck.

That is fantastic news.

Don't cross the streams

This thread needs a big bump. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR THE HORNIMAN. The last project this company did (the Rain Room) finished last week at the Barbican. It was free but there was a permanent 2 hour queue to get in, except for the final weekend when it was longer than that. I've no idea if it was good or not because I was put off by the queues and didn't see it. http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/audioslideshow/2013/feb/26/barbican-rain-room-audio-slideshow This is our chance to have an exhibit on our doorstep, at the Horniman. It's worth 2 minutes of your time to register and vote, so please. Use the OP's link at the top of the thread to vote. It's a bit confusing at the end when you have to drag and drop the icon thingy, but please persevere.

Done

What is it about the Eurostar? Every single time I get on it there's some floozy putting on nail varnish. You're right; it's anti-social. The smell carries and the windows are closed.

Low blow

So you are an ebay seller? I hadn't picked that up - I thought you might be shipping to a friend or relative or something. Oh dear - if you've been selling perfume on ebay then these new regulations will knock that on the head. So does this mean you can't take perfume on a plane any more? That will piss off the duty free shops.

I daresay that Wilton's Music Hall might be able to find a corner that would serve. They have lots of little hidden niches there. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_rn=2&gs_ri=hp&cp=12&gs_id=2u&xhr=t&q=peckham+rye+station&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42261806,d.d2k&biw=1920&bih=911&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=NSUaUdWEBu-k0AWprYHgDA#um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=wiltons+music+hall&oq=wiltons+music+hall&gs_l=img.3..0l2j0i24j0i10i24l7.3250.5921.0.6136.18.17.0.1.1.0.81.981.17.17.0...0.0...1c.1.2.img.H6RxjT1b4bc&fp=1&biw=1920&bih=911&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&cad=b&imgrc=q-5O0jVSdfmklM%3A%3BLXYrcuKHxX0g_M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F_gTuDVeFXM7M%252FS9lZkxO2ddI%252FAAAAAAAAAfk%252FPYwafE43mAM%252Fs1600%252FWilton's%252BMusic%252BHall11.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.dashacaffrey.com%252F2010%252F04%252F29%252Famazing-london-wedding-venue-wiltons-music-hall%252F%3B960%3B640

Reading the title, "post restrictions", I thought maybe admin had been a little too harsh with someone and there was rebellion in the rank and file. Not so. Lameduck, ebay can be a good resource for discontinued/hard to get perfumes. Have you perhaps considered looking at ebay in the US so that the perfume can be sent by domestic courier within the US?

I know it sucks, but what Nettie said. If you have the energy then contest it. Personally I would pay up and move on.

I'm jealous RosieH

Is anyone waiting with interest for Dave Grohl's new documentary, Sound City? He pulled together a load of legendary musicians to play at Sundance a couple of weeks ago and they're coming to London for a surprise gig next week. Tickets are on sale at 10am this morning.

Maybe he wants to concentrate on his golf.

You bought something on the forum and it didn't work. You could have bought it from Harrods and it might not work. It happens. I gave something (for free) to someone last week and it didn't work. It happens. You've messaged her and she hasn't got back to you. Perhaps she has a busy life off-line. Give her the benefit of the doubt, as you would expect if you were in her shoes. Perhaps she does intend to abscond with your money but you don't know that so give her a chance. Coming on here and referring to her as "that stupid woman" is bang out of order. If you've messaged her in that same tone then you might like to brace yourself for a bumpy ride.

Yes I remember Flip and Dicky Dirts in Camberwell. I feel old now. Flip was a lot of Americana I remember. Does anyone remember Laurence Corner on the Camden Road? I bought something from there once. What was I thinking?

Hi Martha - you might want to familiarise yourself with forum etiquette. Starting a thread on every page of the forum is spam and it's rude.

Oh please, welcome to our world.
