I rarely go to the cinema unless there is something on which I really want to see. The last time I went to a movie was, in fact, at The Ivy House. But if memory serves, I didn't post saying that nobody in East Dulwich would use the picture house?! Please feel free to prove me wrong if I did ?! I'm unlikely to use a swimming pool either these days, outdoor OR indoor, but that doesn't mean I don't think an outdoor pool would be a great addition to the area and used by many other people :))

However the park office in Dulwich Park also usually has a load if the library has run out.

Well eventually I dismantled the u-bend thing and gave it a good wash. Fingers crossed. What I can't understand is, my old kitchen sink was well over twenty five years old and I never once had this problem. This sink is just over a year old :(

Thanks :)

Thanks all!

Thanks Gotta, that's useful.

No, on my phone when it updates it tells you what it is going to do and you have the option to update or not. There hasn't been an update recently, it's still on version 5.1

The Adobe isn't an app, or at least it is not showing up as one :( If it was, it would be easy to get rid of. And this is not about updating apps, but thanks.

Obviously I have not knowingly installed this, and the message I get is that the phone is optimising (sic) apps. I don't want to do a factory reset, it's a pain in the a**e. I will investigate further!!

:( Maybe that's a last resort then. I put washing powder (I did use bio) down the sink and the overflow (it's a butler type sink) last night and the smell does seem better this morning, but maybe the smell of the powder is just masking the other smell :(

My phone has been behaving oddly for a while - very slow - then a couple of days back it just froze up, and when I turned it off and on again, it started optimising 72 apps - the first time unfortunately I was out and using data, and I don't have unlimited data on my contract. Now this morning whilst on this forum, it has twice come up with a screen just saying Adobe Marketing Cloud, with no way to get off it except, again, to turn the phone off. And now the f-ing phone is optimising 72 apps again. Thankfully I'm almost at the end of my contract and due a new phone, but can anybody suggest what could be wrong? Do mobiles get viruses?? Have I got one?

Hey thanks all. Just sitting in the garden and there seems to be something BUBBLING in the drain?!? Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh :(

I have a vile smell coming from my kitchen sink (the plughole not the actual sink obv). So far I have tried: Disinfectant Bleach Bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar Ecozone enzyme sticks None of them have worked. Can anybody suggest anything? I asked at the DIY shop but they only had one citrusy thing which was quite expensive and didn't look particularly strong. The drain where the water goes to at the back of the house doesn't seem to smell, and there is no apparent blockage as water is running away OK. Grrrrr. I have people staying soon and at present the house stinks of drains :(

Not unless "wood" is a disallowed word ?!? Oh, maybe I had the title in capitals? I will double check. But not now :) Thanks.

I posted a "for sale" item a short while ago (Fence/roofing slats) but it's not showing up on the page. I tried to post it again and got a message to say it was a duplicate post. Where has it gone?!

There's a country park and a lake though :) And a clock tower :) And it's a walk away from Crystal Palace aka Upper Norwood, with nice caffs etc. And a short distance from Croydon if you're into that kind of shopping ...... I think South Norwood has a lot going for it if you can ignore the current state of the high street, which I'm sure will change for the better.

"we?re giving a trial to two ladies this morning, as females make up 40 per cent of our workforce" I'd run a mile from any job where my potential boss referred to me as a "female" (or indeed a "lady") :(

I love them all :) Nobody's mentioned the two black women - Sandy and ?Sandra? - they're brilliant too :)

Just looking to see how long the sticky pads for the traps were effective, and found some information on this site which is quite useful: https://www.mothprevention.com/pages/5-steps-to-moth-control and this one: http://www.insectslimited.com/faq Traps evidently effective for sixty days, but really only give you an idea of the extent of the infestation. Unless it's quite mild, they won't work by themselves, and in any case obviously don't control females, larvae or eggs.

Particularly if you are very overweight, you can lose a lot at the start of a diet due to water loss, particularly if you cut carbohydrates. Good in a way because it can motivate you to stay on the diet, but that level of loss won't continue, and would soon go back on if you went back to your former eating pattern.
