Sue

Of course I'm not keeping a tally, that would be completely pointless :) As if the whole of ED is reading this thread :) or could be bothered to post on it even if they were :)

That's not my point at all :) But yes, the aesthetic issue is something of a side issue - though not unimportant, less important than issues of health and safety

May cancel me out, but you aren't 10% of the ED population and neither am I :)

The 10% of people who like the look of the fence, stand up and be counted :)

Hey flapjackdavey, you aren't allowed to add 'S's , how come they slap my wrist and don't slap yours?? Get Off Of My Cloud (grammar) - Rolling Stones

Have just remembered that at that Kraftwerk thing there were women fighting in the toilets :-S But hey, live dangerously, eh :)

Perhaps we could persuade the barperson who was part of the Krafwerk Tribute Band to put on his laser show there again, it was brill :)) Ooops I mean Kraftwerk (I think!)

I've had a packet delivered today, the postie rang the bell and handed it over, no problem.

I stand corrected and bow my head in shame :-$ :)

Wishing Well sounds good, or Clockhouse or Old Nun's Head. Woodhouse a bit of a trek but I guess not if you live at that end :) Market Porter more of a day trip :))

I don't want them over anyone's house at 4.30am! I also don't want to keep rehashing the same points as have been made earlier on the thread, but it's a long long thread to trawl through :-$

SeanMacGabhann Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > but Sue - what is it exactly you are going to > say? > > I don't want these flights - give them to someone > else? xxxxxx My understanding is that they are coming in a lot lower than they used to and that that is part of the reason for the excessive noise. I think there are a lot of issues involved, both on a local (nimby) level and also far wider, and one of them is what the government is doing or intends to do about the increasing use of air travel at a time when climate change would seem to be the world's main priority.

I've also been labouring under the delusion that it was just a few planes going round in circles over East Dulwich :)) Right, I'm going to chase Tessa Jowell for a proper reply to my email .....

I've just looked up the Theakstons web page and it certainly looks as if their ale is brewed in Masham, same as it ever was (Talking Heads) :)

Whilst I agree with your sentiments on the whole, I think good ale is good ale regardless of where it comes from - presumably the same people make it as used to, whoever is the ultimate owner? And don't Scottish and Newcastle make Newkie Brown? Nuff said :)

Yes I've noticed the famine/feast thing of mail - I used to get one or two items every day, now I get a load all at once.

Yes what?! Yes you find it commonly in ED pubs, yes you've lost your smiley menu, or yes it's just me? :)

BLAND ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! And if you find it commonly in any pubs in ED or nearby, please let me know so that I can get myself down there PDQ :) PS Has anybody else lost their smiley menu, replaced by an "explorer user prompt" (I don't use IE!) or is it just me??
