Sue

I thought they were legit too. It was a young man who came to my house tonight - I didn't see any others. However I object to being approached by chuggers in the street, let alone in my own home, and I particularly didn't welcome them knocking on my door after dark (8.30pm), even though he was perfectly polite.

Sorry then, I think ours would be too small. I'll PM you details of someone else who may be able to help.

How big a system do you need?

There was to be a book coming out about the house, anybody know whether publication is likely to be soon?

The police appear to have dealt with this really appallingly badly. I am sure you probably don't want to add more stress to what sounds like a really frightening experience, but I wonder whether there is some complaints procedure? Too late for you, but it might help somebody else. How can they just not turn up for appointments? Also, did they not offer you any kind of support? I can't remember what it was called, but when I was once burgled when alone by myself in the house, I was offered some kind of counselling by the police. I didn't take it up, but had I had a horrendous experience like yours I might have done. ETA: So - they're not checking for potentially helpful CCTV images. Instead, they're going to wait until this guy makes "physical contact" with somebody. Oh, great.

They were graded A B C D E (for passes), and I thought A was over 70% etc? If not, surely grades would vary depending on the quality of the student cohort (is that the right word?) in a particular year in any particular subject? I have a totally crap memory though so I may be completely wrong.

Hooray for the bear! Felix Baumgartner eat your heart out!

The sooner we do away with cash the better, in my view :) Provided it isn't going to disadvantage anybody, obviously.

Bloody hell :)) They weren't that big :))

Oh, thanks. They look far too big to be carp though, they're absolutely enormous! Aren't carp basically just large goldfish?

Yep, I use the Lloyds service (in North Cross Road) and have found it very reliable. I'm with Dulwich Medical Centre in Crystal Palace Road - don't know whether Lloyds only have this service for nearby GPs or whether they would do it for any East Dulwich GP practice.

But she did report it to the police, she says above, and they don't consider it "significant". Unless I have misunderstood? I am appalled. This guy could go on to, at least, badly frighten other people and, at worst, carry out his threats. Budget cuts are surely no reason to put people's personal safety at risk.

Sorry to gatecrash your thread, but I just did a search on Tandoori Nights as I had a pretty poor meal there last night, and I was interested to see the comments above. We hadn't been there for years, but we were starving. We had thought Dulwich Tandoori might have a Sunday buffet on as it was a bank holiday, but they didn't and appeared to be rammed, so we went to Tandoori Nights instead. My meal was terrible. It was supposed to be lamb with spinach and green chillies. There was not a single chilli in it, and no heat in the dish at all. Nor did it appear to be spiced with anything else, as it was all completely bland. The spinach looked and tasted as if it had come out of a tin. The best I can say is that at least the meat was tender. The pilau rice appeared to be spiced solely with cloves. For the lamb and the rice I paid twelve pounds :( The Cobra was six pounds (large bottle). Can't remember how much it usually is, but that seemed a lot. When I put these points to them at the end of the meal (nobody came during the meal to ask how it was, although there was only one other group of customers in the restaurant) they really didn't have any reply. How can you advertise a dish with chillies and then leave out the chillies? Bizarre. ETA: I shan't eat there again. Shame. Once upon a time, the food was very good there.

On a happier note, the planting at The Oval (I think it's called) as you come into the park by the main gate is looking wonderful at the moment. The colour combinations are lovely. I think the Sexby Garden is past its best at this time of year though.

Interesting film, fl0wer, thanks. Does anybody know what the massive fish in Peckham Rye Park lake are? Never seen them before yesterday, then saw half a dozen!

Hurrah! Good luck Babbage Bear!

cred?i?ble (krd-bl) adj. 1. Capable of being believed; plausible. 2. Worthy of confidence; reliable. 3. Being of sufficient military capability to deter an attack or carry out an operation successfully: credible military force. ETA: So I'm unclear why SE22 magazine is considered not "credible".

Eh? I am asking for examples. You've given one , from nearly three years ago, which you haven't even posted up here - with the context, as presumably I was responding to a post or posts from you - so that people can make up their own minds. You must have searched for hours to find that one. I hope you think it was time well spent. It seems to me - judging from your very personal attack on me on this thread - that you, ironically, are a prime example of the kind of low-level bullying that makes some people fearful of posting on this forum. Unlike you, I am "out" on the forum. Many people know who I am in "real life", as I am half of http://www.thegooseisout.com If you have an issue with me, you can come and find me easily and have an adult discussion with me face to face, instead of childishly insulting me on here. Meantime, I will continue to post about whatever I like, as much as I like and however I like - including (recent posts) abour a fox in my garden, thanking people for suggesting London-based activities for my grandchildren's visits, defending the existence of SE22 magazine, and promoting the Goose community and other music events. Why shouldn't I post on here? I have lived here for over twenty years and clearly have an interest in what goes on in the area.
