It never got mentioned again though .... She bought a flat in Crystal Palace ..the buyer that is, obv. Having rejected Beckenham ....

There is a happy medium between stuffing your face with unhealthy food and eating boring food you don't like. A diet of fat and sugar - bad. The occasional burger and fries or slice of cake - a treat and highly unlikely to do any harm unless your GP has advised otherwise, surely.

It didn't have a kitchen. You could get food delivered there.

We went to Meat Liquor late on Saturday afternoon, for a very late lunch. It was very busy even though it was after 4pm. The burgers were excellent, definitely the best we've had in East Dulwich, as were the fries and beer, though ?4.50 for a small can was a bit of a shock. Don't usually drink craft beer from cans so not sure whether this is the going price or not. The service was good and very friendly, and we got to sit in the window (though sadly it wasn't open that afternoon) as at John the Unicorn. We really enjoyed the music too. We'll be back, looking forward to working our way through the menu (and possibly the beer ....).

Will it still be called Badger Bakery?

Bus stops are identified by letters on top, and if you are using a phone app to check bus arrivals, it will use that bus stop ID.

Can't get the link to copy properly :(

I don't like using my phone right next to my head, for that reason. I always have it on the speaker when I'm at home. Anecdotal evidence, but there was some television reporter recently who (apparently, I never saw it) always had two mobiles held one to each ear, and she died quite young of, I think, a brain tumour. When mobiles were quite a new thing, I had to use mine all day once for a load of calls because my landline was out of order, and towards the evening when I was using it I got a piercing pain through the ear with the mobile on, and a pain in my head on that side which lasted for (if memory serves) several days. My GP at the time said there was no way the mobile could have caused it, but I never normally get earache or headaches, I don't believe it wasn't connected, and I'm not risking it again .....

The Co-op has a box on the till at the end nearest the window for recycling batteries.

Hmmm. When I was a student, to run a programme you had to punch it all onto a stack of cards, then the data had to be on a stack of cards too. And if you muddled the order of the cards, you were in trouble. Don't even think about dropping the box they were in. Then the computer was a huge huge thing which had a room to itself and had a team of people to run it. To run a statistical test, you took the box of cards in and came back a day or so later. To be given sheets and sheets of paper with "error, error, error" on them. Then you had to take the box of cards away, go through them all, and try to find out which one/s had the error on. Then you'd punch out those cards again, hopefully correctly, and take the box back to the computing lab and so on and so on. The last time I did it was for a statistical test called the Kolmogorov?Smirnov test. I imagine these days you just type in the data and get the result with one click. Happy days :)) ETA: Oh, and I tried learning Fortran once. That was a mistake. My brain hit a brick wall round about the fourth lesson and I never finished the course :))

They've probably got nothing else to do but put things on shelves and unclutter the aisles, because they've got no customers to serve. Not that I'm cynical at all .....

Xoco. Another Indian restaurant?? From the name, I rashly assumed it would be Mexican .... but it has an Indian Grill. Can you have a Mexican restaurant with an Indian grill?? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1726606,1727220#msg-1727220 "Grand opening" today ...... ETA: Oh, they've posted the menu further up the other thread. It's Indian with a few additions I think.

Well I owe Fox an apology, as I have been assured at John Lewis today that only the wide screens are available in laptops now. So, sorry Fox. So I've either got to grin and bear the lack of height, swap for a 17" screen (heavy and more expensive) or get a separate monitor (takes up room on the desk). Grinning and bearing it is my current thinking ......

Do you have a pic?

http://meatliquor.com/eastdulwich/menu/web/ Admittedly cheese does seem to feature heavily, hooray!

I'm wondering about those council offices mentioned on another thread as up for sale or about to be. Would it be a big enough space? Or the old Grove/Harvester though not very central, but space for a carpark.

Whatever floats your boat :) Personally I have neither the time nor the inclination to mess about with Linux :) I just need a reliable laptop which does what I want to do on it speedily and without hassle ....

Very interesting article, thanks, and yes it seems that is what has happened. I don't watch videos on my laptop so a wider screen is no advantage to me, and in fact a disadvantage for other things I do on it. Thanks for your help everyone. According to Robert Poste's Child above, laptop screens have not all changed, even if most have, so I am going to have yet another look at some in the flesh now that I'm aware of the issue. It's quite likely that I'll stick with this one, but I want to be sure before burning my boats. It's quite a major spend for me as I'm retired, hence the ten year use of the old one!
