Haven't been there for decades, and judging by the comments above don't think I will now. Do they still have that circular staircase, or have I imagined that?

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard of it before but will hopefully be going.

Last week apparently nowhere in East Dulwich was sent the middle bits of the Guardian (nor, apparently, the Telegraph). I haven't had any problems any other weeks. There were lots at the newsagents between M and S and the cinema yesterday,all complete (Guardian, anyway). It appears to have been a cock up at the distributor last week, not any fault of the Guardian itself.

I was just editing my post above when I had to answer the door, and I hadn't seen your post when I posted the edit. What regions/islands do you think have a Thai/Indonesian/Malaysian crossover in their cuisine? ETA: I can't be bothered googling but I'm sure you can find something :)) ETA: In any case, I thought you had now decided that calling the restaurant Lombok had nothing to do with its cuisine? Though why in that case you would choose that name, who knows?

:)) Come to think of it I've been to Malaysia as well. Don't remember the food there being anything like Thai food, either. There is an area of Sumatra, whose name I can't remember offhand, where the food was very hot, but still not in a Thai way.

I've had problems with that place. I won't use it for anything any more, they were so unhelpful. However, I may be wrong, but I don't think they are a Hermes drop off point. I don't think there are any locally, which was why I used the Post Office.

I have been to both Indonesia and Thailand, and in my experience there was no crossover of food whatsoever.

A thing that annoys me is when a person prays for rescue in some terrible disaster, and are then rescued,it's supposedly because they prayed. What about all the other people who presumably were praying, but didn't get rescued? ETA: I agree the Sally Army do a lot of good work. And a lot of hymn tunes are brilliant!

Given the pressure on police resources in London, I think it's reasonable that police stations are no longer set up as Lost Property offices. Obviously it's important to you if you've lost something (or find something) but it's hardly a priority in the great scheme of things. Back in the day, my Mum locked herself (and me) out of our first floor South London flat. She went to the police station and a policeman came and climbed up (I presume he brought a ladder with him, can't remember), let himself in a window, came downstairs and let us in the front door. Times have changed :) And as for transport, I once left a hand crocheted shawl (of great sentimental value as it was a present long ago from a relative) on top of a bus on New Year's Eve. As soon as I got off the bus I realised (I was cold). I knew exactly where it was. The bus was still at the bus stop letting on passengers. The driver wouldn't let me back on to retrieve it. Obviously it never turned up when I enquired to TfL, and a subsequent complaint resulted in a letter (or email) telling me it was my responsibility to look after my property. GRRRRRRRR.

It's crazy!! To be fair, entry to most of the Horniman is free, so like many museums and galleries they probably depend on making money from food, drinks and gifts.

I always use this place for excellent compatible cartridges https://www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk/?tsrc=stinky-ink&tsrc=stinky-ink&gclid=CjwKCAiAwJTjBRBhEiwA56V7qyXFdzVsrnQG4OwzSchyj9SU7_1QAVGv7nl03aqleyYHhnsYQh_m_RoCYmEQAvD_BwE ETA: But as far as I can tell, the cartridges are in fact empty when the printer says they are. It's an Epson.

There are a number of things I find odd about Christianity, but the main ones are that the Bible is selective in what someone in the past has chosen to include in it, has been translated (or mistranslated) from language to language over the years, and much of it appears to be based on hearsay or mishearing in the first place. The blessed are the cheesemakers thing. I once lodged briefly with some fervent Christians. They genuinely believed that people brought up in a place where they had no opportunity of hearing about Christianity were going to hell. They also couldn't reconcile "Thou shalt not kill" with the fact that one of them had fought in the war (if memory serves). My ex used to ask Jehovah's Witnesses in for a cup of tea and ask them questions they couldn't answer. They never came again (not the same ones, anyway :)) )

The shoe shop is still open though isn't it?

I know two people who knew him. I find the whole thing extremely upsetting. However this thread was not set up as, and did not develop as, a thread only to offer condolences.

Robert Poste's Child Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Sue, you always do this. To the best of my knowledge I have "done this", ie responded to your asking people not to mention mental illness on the forum, twice. Of course not everyone who commits a crime is mentally ill. How you conclude that I have said that, I have no idea. I am talking about specific behaviour in relation to a crime being committed. As I said before, re the person who didn't like their haircut harrassing their barber and then attacking him with a hammer, do you think this is normal behaviour? Or do you think that it is the behaviour of somebody "who wasn't taught about right and wrong" as a child, as you say? To compare a child nicking some sweets with the behaviour of the person in the present thread (I am not going to detail it, although it is now in the public domain) is just risible. Sorry. ETA: Oh, and just so we are clear, it wasn't me who raised the issue of the mental health of the attacker in the present case.

Fair enough. I don't consider something a sauce if it isn't actually coating the noodles :)

edcam Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > This thread isn't helping anyone. It's just > ghoulish speculation and this forum at its worst. It's a terrible thing that has happened locally. Yesterday I caught two buses, and at both the bus stops people I didn't know started talking to me and each other about it. People need to talk about it. We are a local community. Aren't we? How is this thread "this forum at its worst"?

Robert Poste's Child Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Please do stop with the mental health speculation! Why? The reason why mental health is often still so stigmatised is because some people refuse to discuss it. We have had this before, when somebody (you?) asked me not to suggest that somebody who attacked his barber with a hammer because he didn't like his haircut was probably not mentally well. It seems to me quite reasonable to suggest that somebody who murders an apparent complete stranger because (apparently) he wouldn't or couldn't give him a cigarette might be mentally ill.

The Pad Thai we had could certainly not be described as "fresh and light", more "bland, tasteless and stodgy" There wouldn't be a sauce with Pad Thai. May try once more with something else, as perhaps we were unlucky, but with a minimum charge of ?20 it had better be good :))
