reporting verbally abusive comments on social networks
Loz replied to malleymoo's topic in The Lounge
And I must say, not helped when major sports stars like a certain female tennis player displayed full-on bullying behaviour the other night and got a derisory slap on the wrist for it. It's a shame, she could - and should - be such a good role model. -
I'd go 176 to E&C and grab the Bakerloo to Regents Park. Great Portland St is a short walk from there.

Maybe not for the complete newbie, but I use http://orchardhosting.com/ - there support is in-house up in Manchester and very good at responding to queries and issues.

Ed Balls 'deeply sorry' over banking crisis

What would have been good is two half sized bins that take up roughly the same space as the present 240 litre one. That way, all of us who have a special space for the green bin could fit both in.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14888933 Who'd have ever thought Balls would apologise for his (and Labour's) part in the crisis? There's be snowball fights and snowman making competitions in Hades tonight.

Considering it would still be attached to the umbilical cord, would this not work as a high-speed, sideways bungee jump?

Security issue at Sainsburys Carpark - Mon 12 Sept
Loz replied to pebbles's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Careful though, as JohnL says this original theory is quite possible. Jammers for remotes are easily available and have quite a range. And Sainsbo's carpark would be a pretty big fishing ground. I always check anyway, as if any door isn't fully closed my car refuses to lock! -
50p tax rate - perception or impact
Loz replied to Marmora Man's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Long overdue and is taking too long to implement in my opinion. Protecting the High St operation from the investment arms means that the high risk stuff doesn't threaten the low risk stuff. And therefore less bail outs. -
You need to run faster, DJKQ...!

Hooray! Always good to get the old political sloganeering out. I bet if you heard that they had turned down the opportunity to promote the paralympics you'd have stuck the boot in even harder. Heads you win, tails you win.

kiva - sort of like a charity but you get your money back
Loz replied to mockney piers's topic in The Lounge
I've been doing Kiva for about a year or so and have totted up 24 loans so far. I think it's great. I relend as the payments come in and lob another US$50 or so into my pot every couple of months. We should start an EDF lender team! One thing to watch is that there are interest payments made to the local lending organisation (which they keep). You are just stumping up the capital. -

SC - Watch this - it'll show how the fractional reserve banking system works. -

Then someone would have criticised them for not taking wheelchair sports seriously. Really, whatever a politician does (or even most celebrities) they are going to be criticised by someone, somewhere for it.

50p tax rate - perception or impact
Loz replied to Marmora Man's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
An interesting couple of ideas from the Guardian... Firstly, MM's 320,000 high-rate tax payers contribute 24% of income tax intake. But then consider why the tax may do more harm than good. -
What do you call 15 Kiwis watching the World Cup final on TV? The All Blacks. (Sorry Pickle!)

East Dulwich railway station office recommended for closure?
Loz replied to Alex K's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
How? From the platforms they are 50m away locked in a fairly sound proofed room. And you can bet that they are not watching the cctv at all, would (quite rightly) refuse to approach any 'rogues' and can't call the police any quicker that you can. The difference to safety between them being there and not being there is very, very, very negligible. -

My point exactly. You apply that criteria to *any* march - especially now ones involving students, anti-globalisation protesters or anyone from Tottenham. Welcome to the thin end of the wedge.

Loz replied to Alex K's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
How does a bloke locked away in a room in ED station really improves safety on the platform? Or is it you just feel safer, like a security blanket? -
outdoor parties loud and into the next day wee hours

Totally missing the point of a party. Next you'll be suggesting cups of tea and cucumber sandwiches all round.
