No idea, but it has happened to me and also to various friends. Emails were sent out purporting to be from me/them but were actually not. Sometimes they are for things like V****a sales, sometimes pretending the person concerned is in financial difficulty (eg wallet stolen on holiday) and they need money sent to them. (the asterisks are because I've been prevented from posting this and I think it might be because of the V word!) There's been some publicity lately about the latter scam. I had one of them recently. I don't think it's by an automatic bot, at least not usually, I think it's by a "real" person, but I'm sure others will know a lot more about this than I do. Most important thing is to let your friends know that they must change their email password. Edited to add: They could also warn the people the emails went to not to click on any links in them. Could be a problem with viruses etc..

Is there some reason why I have been able to post on various threads today but now when I click on "post" nothing happens? ETA: Obviously this has worked, but there is a thread in the lounge I can't post on? Maybe it's a temporary glitch, I'll keep trying .... ETA: Belatedly realised it was because my post included a "banned word" - V**GRA !!

Yes your friends' email accounts have been hacked. You need to tell them to change their passwords.

Nobody knows what they would do in a similar situation. I would always have said that I would intervene, but I was once on a bus where a young man was attacked by two others and virtually kicked downstairs. The bus driver did nothing and nor did anyone else. Instead of going to help I retreated to the back of the bus out of the way. I'm not proud of this but all I can say is that there is a self-preservation instinct which kicks in, and you might not react in the way you would predict. We're not all heroes. And good for Sam, but given that he could have been killed or very badly hurt (and possibly is badly hurt) you might also argue that it would have been preferable to let the guy, who presumably would be caught on CCTV, get away with the televisions and let the police deal with it (once it was apparent that he was violently resisting).

Like you I'm > sticking with my blue boxes. xxxxxxx Same here. I've ordered the smaller green bin but they couldn't tell me when the old one would be exchanged for the new one. So I'll have a small(er) green bin, a small brown bin for food waste, blue boxes for paper, glass, metal etc and bags for garden waste as needed. Which will hopefully all fit neatly in my relatively newly built bin recess :)

A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads "Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770- 1827". Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day the word has spread and a crowd has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "I would have thought it was obvious" the caretaker says........ "He's decomposing."

pears Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I would like to see the hall used in the evening > as a folk club. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Are you aware there already is a folk club in East Dulwich which has been running in various venues for over three years? We currently run folk music events at DHFC, Upstairs at the Mag, The CPT and The Ivy House! Click here to find out about folk music in East Dulwich! We did in fact check out the Thomas More Hall as a possible venue for The Goose Is Out! when we were kicked out of the EDT, but for various reasons - including the high cost of hiring it - it was not suitable. And given what has happened now, it's just as well we didn't move there!

It was at one point invaded by zillions of people on a pub crawl, I've never seen so many people in there!

If Vale Street is the place near Rosendale Road, then yes, it is now recycling only, they don't take general rubbish. Manor Place off Walworth Road does, but is very badly signposted.

Hi Monica, hope you had a great break! Is the garden going to be in that fenced off bit on the right as you face the hospital? It looks like quite a large piece of land!

Saw four green parakeets fly over Crystal Palace Road this evening, squawking loudly (possibly attempting to compete with civilservant's dog!) My theory is that the parakeets are making a bid to take over East Dulwich prior to taking over the world. Sydenham Hill Woods are full of them :))

You really think the colour of > our bins is the most important question that can > be posed at the next council assembly? xxxxxx Nobody's suggesting it's "the most important" question, are they? I happen to think that the visual environment is extremely important to people's mental health. These bins are like visual noise. If the relevant team wasn't consulted before they were introduced, then I think that's terrible. But I guess too late now to change the bins.
