If anyone is in Oxford there's a good Graham Sutherland exhibition on at the moment. Somewhat different landscapes to David Hockney's :) ETA: And entrance was by donation, not bloody ?15 :))

Eh? I've bought some great books and other stuff from the Trinity Hospice shop :)

(tu)

I theoretically have blocked calls like these, but I still occasionally get them. I just put the phone down.

Well spotted Fuchsia!

"Katie numbers" caused me irrational joy when I read it :)

This is a very well known scam. Why would somebody you have had no recent contact with ask you out of the blue to send them money?

Unless your hobbies and interests are directly relevant to the post you're applying for, you shouldn't include them (and whoever is sifting the CVs shouldn't be taking them into account either - they should be looking for information directly relevant to the requirements of the person spec).

Succinct but covering everything in the job description and (especially) person spec for the particular job, I should say. If it's not in the CV it should deffo be in the covering letter. What you've personally done, not what your team did or what you helped with. And anything irrelevant omitted. Deffo no photo. And get someone else to read it over before you send it off - it's very easy not to see a typo when you've spent ages staring at something.

Not another one .....

Can't believe Manna in Primrose Hill is still going, I'm sure I used to go there in the eighties :-$

Hopefully they won't have pizzas at all, as the Actress already has a large pizza menu and is only a short walk away from the CPT .....

For a moment I thought you meant KidKruger :))

Any Nasturtiums anybody had will have been zapped by the cold by now, Monica :) They are hardy annuals anyway, and do not normally last through the winter, though they carried on this year throughout the milder weather. People may have nasturtium seeds, though I know that quite a few have already been donated. They're very easy to grow, just shove them in the ground where you want them :)

:)) Easy mistake to make :))

But perhaps "liv round > the corner " gives you a special insight into > noise from Hoopers? xxxxxx Pardon? What exactly in my comments "smack of vicious bullying"? Where have I engaged in "persistently targetted criticism of one person"? I would genuinely like to know. I have read all the letters relating to the complaints about Hoopers, both those from the people (very few) complaining and those (many) from the people defending Hoopers - many of whom live in the same street as the original complainant. I have also read the letters from the Met, the Southwark Noise Control team, and other interested parties. All this took me some time. As I said, I would like the people using this thread to moan about Hoopers to do the same, and then to respond in a rational manner to the points made by the people defending Hoopers. Or does that "smack of vicious bullying" as well? Some people's idea of bullying seems very odd to me. As admin says, if you think bullying is taking place then report it. If Admin agrees then they remove the post. Seems fair enough to me.

ETA: I am guessing from one of your other (few) posts on this forum that you are one of the very few people who complained: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,816899,820954#msg-820954 ETA: Have you actually read the letters of support for Hoopers? If not, can I suggest that you do, and then perhaps you can come on here and respond rationally to the points made in them (but you won't, will you?)

I love fonts too! Got a whole book about them - "Just My Type" by Simon Garfield. Haven't read much of it yet though .... too many books on the go at once ..... I like "Identity" which we use for some of The Goose poster headings (though we're about to change the poster design) but it has strange spacing glitches which are very annoying if you're using it in Word, and sometimes runs letters together or puts them miles apart. In a hurry and shouldn't be on the forum at all, so can't find an example - would have to find a pdf to post. ETA: Just realised, if you click on the Goose link the main heading on the home page is in Identity.
