  1. Lovely idea, honest and accountable wardens fining honest and accountable motorists.
  2. Sorry, I misunderstood. The lines are put there first but they are not dangerous. Not sure why but yellow is yellow and there are two of them.
  3. "Double yellow lines along the edge of the carriageway indicate that parking restrictions apply to the road (which includes the carriageway, pavement and verge). "- Wikipedia If the road is dangerous for a vehicle to stop there is normally a zig zag or red lines, like outside schools.
  4. In this case enforcing the law means sitting on your arse watching the worlds most boring youtube vid. Perhaps twice a day you might need to press the camera button or twiddle the joystick. Seems a little stupid to ask them to drive back to the depot so they can chew some gum.
  5. The blue badge and unloading allowances prove double yellows are not there to prevent dangerous obstructions. Unless of course there are some kerb blips. Exempt is exempt.
  6. Don't you eat at work? I do. Mainly so I don't waste my time and others money. "stand up in court" What fun. See if you can get some photos of coppers in McD's and council road crews looking into holes while your at it.
  7. Get your head round the payment gateway/cart service/merchant account as well. I have just set up my first website and those bits ended up costing more than the website. It does not take long to get your head round building and running your own if you work hard, I was worried about always having to pay someone to do updates but it is pretty easy. Wordpress seems awesome if you want free, if you want an easy life I cannot speak highly enough of Squarespace- free trial, really easy to use and helpful people.
  8. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/events/article-23940802-get-cracking-this-easter-bank-holiday.do Egg hunts- one at Spitalfields this weekend
  9. I think when a lot of id fraud is done they have to use your real address to get the accounts open. I think as well for credit card payments the delivery address must match the card holder address. Once done the account address is changed or the ordered items sent to a temp address.
  10. Anyone claiming to 'take big game' whilst not owning a chest freezer is just on a jolly boys outing. I mean when I lived in Oz we kept a half empty freezer just for the 'roos we hit. Any other hunters in East Dulwich? If, when you say hunters, you mean trolls. Yes, lots.
  11. Treated like what? Details please. The manager said it was confidential but as Sean points out there is no smoke without fire. Clearly this personal 'issue' is offending/revolting someone/everyone or the matter would not have been raised. Reality is that the staff will have been chatting about this for weeks, likely transforming from a funny one off gossip to daily moaning about the 'issue' (I am an sensitive line manager, I buy Lynx for loads of the staff and dole it out to the stinkers on line, thus avoiding any embarrassment)
  12. Perhaps those hygiene issues were a little more than 'personal'
  13. The making of Megawoosh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN3aGBEBpzM
  14. There is a good cake shop doing all the craft stuff and sugar flowers etc. Joannes cake heaven. It's next door to Bellingham station, so there is a chance that you might find some of Huguenots cake as well.
  15. 500 quid for a wedding cake, 300 for a single tier fruitcake? Holy crap, is this what people pay for wedding cakes?
  16. On a walk down to the station in the morning you can stop off for crap coffee at a variety of outlets and pay varied prices. Now you will be able to get crap for 49p
  17. AJM- given your consumption of fish, seafood and other flesh, your promotion of Viva's soapbox smacks of hypocrisy.
  18. Pleasure, not that you have made a case, or even a point. Save for the one about sharks, what is your problem with sharks anyway? The OP like a website, but not meat, not sure what else this thread is about. I find it hard to comprehend the support for non consumption of an animal destined for culling, but then maybe the issue is with the culling itself.
  19. Normally not one to say boo to a goose but when it comes to veggies I couldn't give a flying duck. "Tyranny of the meat eater" What issue? Bourdain on Foie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABeWlY0KFv8&feature=related It's quite educational, I thought I would post a video so readers can see for themselves.
  20. Every year, just before our walnuts look ready, a small army of grey squirrels runs in and strips the tree over a couple of days. They do not leave us one nut and I take this quite personally. Last year I managed to shoot one, so we ate it, tasty but you need more than one to make it worth the effort. They still got the walnuts. This year I intend to go Rambo on their asses.
  21. Option 1- Some anon hack spent three years undercover pseudo-trolling on 23 fora? If the hack was as dedicated to the other sites as here, that would make 2500 odd posts and the time spent reading the nonsense associated. All for a story aimed at people who know f-all about the internets. This sort of work could only be performed by a self delusional madman having fantasies about carrying out "research". Who would pay for this rubbish? Option 2- This is J Russel's best troll yet. I defer to Occam's Razor. Don't feed the troll.
  22. Recent classics; -"IMO, yours is the FIRST post from a smoker's perspective" eh? That is the single daftest thing said in 13 pages. Waterbottle's post was spot on but raised not a single new point. -"As you have written in such a reasonable way I am prepared to take on board your points and empathise to a point" Sickbag please, you could at least acknowledge the validity of the points, instead of just backtracking because someone has addressed you in a way you find pleasing. -"It is hard for me to understand addiction as I have never been addicted to anything" We are acutely aware. So why on earth do you do you still support giving out your own brand of boot camp quit smoking therapy to total strangers? I am not sure what sheltered little world you live in Original Poster. Personally I post here under my real name, and would offer far stronger opinions on this subject if a friend voiced this opinion in the pub. Luckily I don't have any friends that narrow minded. I cannot express how much I would like to be within earshot the next time you render someone speechless with your dire lack of empathy and manners, I have no doubt that in the public debate to follow, you would look just as stupid as you have done here. -"Hell it is illegal to smoke in public places now thankfully" Wrong, as usual. I assume you refer to the workplace or spaces defined as enclosed. And just to finish on a good note; -"sellotape your fingers together. Please."
  23. Plimsoul wrote "i have no problem with women who enjoy a glass when pregnant (not whole bottle!)....... don't even start on once they're born. every person feels it their duty to comment." You are comfortable calling the smoker stupid? HBF. Sorry I asked about the legislation, I thought you may have had a point. Your logic seems to compare smoking and drinking to attempted murder/intent to procure a miscarriage.
  24. "legislation" HBF- To what do you refer? The only thing I could think of is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and that was put in place to make sure expectant mothers were given the same treatment as others.
