The place was rammed, lots of people enjoying roasts. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Sad times. xxxxxx Crikey, it seems like they've only just opened! If you're going to sell extremely expensive stuff in a tough economic climate, you've got to be pretty sure there's a market for what you're selling. And their expenses must have been hugely higher than they were in Bellenden Road.

Great sell-out gig :) The place was rammed. http://www.thegooseisout.com http://www.ivyhousenunhead.com

Hope you're OK James and not too shaken up?

Better to be that than to be a suspicious scrooge-like person.

Peckhamgatecrasher Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- How witty one seems after a glass or two. xxxxxxx :)) I was totally bemused until I saw uncleglen's post. Wondered why you had suddenly seen fit to post about the phases of the moon :)) But then, being on a "fast" day, I was - sadly - totally sober :)) ETA: Though clearly not sober enough to notice the "waxing" thread further down the page .....

I think that's quite impressive :) Nothing to do with the internet, but I can remember when to run just one statistical test you had to go to the computer lab, hand in at least one box of punched cards, wait a day or so, go back, and be handed sheets of perforated paper mostly containing the words "error" "error" "error". Then you had to go through all the cards containing the actual code (rather than the data), and try to find out which one/s contained the error. And hope to God you didn't drop the box and mix all the cards up. If you were lucky, after a few visits of this kind you actually got to find out the results of the test. Those were the days, eh :) I expect these days you just do it in one click, though probably there are more sophisticated tests now. Oh, and the computer took up a whole room and had special computer technicians to run the tests on it :)) It was the Kolmogorov?Smirnov test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test- my memory can't be as bad as I thought :)

Dulwich Folk Choir meets upstairs at the EDT on a Tuesday night at 7pm, led by the lovely Aimee Leonard. Mix of well known songs like "Down to the River to Pray" and "Bright Morning Stars", plus things like "Sally Free and Easy" plus traditional songs from Orkney, where Aimee comes from. And usually some of the choir continue afterwards (without Aimee!) with an Alt Choir singing whatever comes to mind - Beatles, Kinks, obscure stuff from the musos in the choir :)) Also a good number of men, who sometimes outnumber the women :) Also no audition and no need to read music, in fact there isn't any music, all learned by ear. It's pay per session, ?4. Spoilt for choice for choirs round here, it seems! ETA: You may have seen/heard us at the Dulwich Festival Fair on Goose Green, or at the Crystal Palace Street Party, or at the Christmas Fair in Nutbrook (?) Road last year.

Don't click on that link anybody, it's almost certainly spam :( S/he has posted the same link on several other unrelated threads as well :(

Somebody was trying to help out their neighbour by finding somebody to board up their window for them, and you told them to do it themselves and it wasn't rocket science. Personally, I'd say that was "snotty and rude". And English is my first language (and I'd say "if English isn't their first language, I can recommend a course" was a pretty snotty and rude comment, as well. By all means post on here as rudely as you like - but don't then accuse other people of rudeness!

Ann Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Would definitely register as door to door free if possible. xxxxxx So would I. Had the RSPCA knocking yesterday, during the day however. I give money to charity, but I want to choose what cause I give to and when, not be approached in the street and in my own home in a way which feels quite intrusive. I used to be as polite as possible, but am increasingly going into Grumpy Old Woman mode. Poor people who are doing the knocking, however. I hope they are getting a decent wage. Paid for by the donations to the charity, I suppose, unless they are volunteers.

I'm bemused. If this thread is likely to get the forum sued, why hasn't it been removed, or reported so that it can be removed if mods haven't seen it? Apologies if somebody discussing the threat to sue has already reported it.

ETA: And yes, face to face is real, so it's a bit hard to understand why you chose to call a pub owner a "knob" on a public forum, with no immediate explanation, and no apparent provocation save the mention of his pub on a thread. ETA: And subsequently called him even worse, which I'm not going to repeat here.
