Sorry but I hate traffic angering measures (I mean "calming" measures. They punish us all for the sake of a few idiots whilst making it dangerous for everyone in a different way. Biker friendly lumps in the road (I mean "cushions") mean that drivers do the most dangerous thing to avoid them. When learning to drive and especialy for advanced drivers one is taught to look ahead and plan as far ahead as possible. You can't do that with bumps because you are looking at the road immediately in front of you to try and ride your sets of car wheels over them which usually means driving / serving into the middle of the road and not seeing the other traffic coming towards you, which is nasty when you're a biker or a cyclist. And you think this is better?

Just gonna whinge on here and not all turn up to the Community Council?

13th February 7pm http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourCouncil/CommunityCouncilsSection1/howcommunitycouncilsworks.html Follow the links to learn about the Community Councils. Personally I think they're talking shops and very reactive when we should be pro-active. But anyway, if we all turned up we could make a difference. But it didn't work last time! I can't guarantee I shall be there either as I often work evenings. But it's in my diary, if I can.

What? No real ale on draft?

Hi I live on Peckham Rye East Side the SE15 side, so turning right up those traffic lights is also a nightmare. Now, when the traffic lights were first put in I tried really, really hard to get a filter light put in, and had suggested a roundabout instead, to get the council and TFL to realise how dangerous those two right turns into Peckham Rye SE22 and then Peckham Rye SE15 are. We went to Community Council meetings, and spoke with the transport people there and still they did not listen. May I make a suggestion: We all go to the next Community Council meeting and try again? Whinging on this site does no good, but whinging at Community Council meetings also does little good but if all of us go to it and speak in front of councillors, they at least have to write it down and maybe get the TFL people to come to the next meeting or to answer us in the meantime. I tried really hard on all this years ago. Maybe time for a second attempt but not alone, this time!

Blankers.

Oooooooh LostThePlot what did ya write!

Also, was it along the lines of "Why ask our opinion or was it just a way of showing off your achievements without telling us what they were anyway and by that method letting us know what a wonderful person you are without actually telling us why in a sort of passiveaggressive way? Sort of AggressivePassive?" Nah, dint think so.

I've joined "Jeremy Clarkson for MP" on Facebook. Just to wind you up obviously. What I like about Facebook is you can most definitely delete stuff you don't want including the posts people send you. Just don't use your own name. I still had a photo tagged of me (with my real name) and I simply politely asked the acquaintance to untag me and they did. End of. God I can't believe I just wrote "end of". I hate it when people do that. I will start a Facebook group called "End of 'End of'".

I must get round to getting Bluetooth. Means I won't have to get up and leave my beer to find out if my mate's turned up. Drink-spiking possibilities aside - I just don't wanna leave my beer!

Oh yeah, so I edited my post. Still don't understand but that's me! SeanMacGabhann Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > PR > > The clue is in the title of the thread

I'm confused.

Checks out Dominic Finnegan on Facebook (see other thread...)

Thanks. What WAS the worst spelling error? PeckhamRise? Ummmm Nope, can't imagine. and cdonline you could have just deleted that friend! SeanMacGabhann Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I like your thinking PeckhamRose > > edited for worst spelling error possible

My talent.

Well, that killed fifteen minutes of my time. Not quite sure I should have been party to it all though. Still, time for me tea.

I like Facebook but don't use my own name - not even PeckhamRose before you look - and I tell friends I am hooking up with who I am and delete any photos people hook me up with. It is useful for knowing what is going on in music or some event like a theatre and so on as people can create a group for that particular play. I know it can give one (not me, of course) a reason to be more paranoid if you find you have not had a poke for a week..... or wondering why no-one has written on your wall.... but then we're addicted to the net and emails, aren't we? What DID they do before telephones by the way?

This may be of use. http://www.peckhamvision.org/ Or not.

I attended a community Police Ward panel the other day at Harris Girls School. The chair is the post office man from Forest Hill Road, Nilesh. The station will close. But not till a replacement site is found. Stop panicking. You shall be served by a better more modern police force in a more modern station. What's more worrying is the WAY the police are being told to serve us, not the buildings they shall serve from. Remember how the doctors surgeries sprung up? All nice modern converted banks and the like. Ahem.

Councillor Kim Humphreys, Conservative, Southwark Council. bbbbbrrrrrrrrrr makes me shiver just to type his name the creepy career politician.

OK I just wrote the following in the Globe forum so technically it was off topic. But since a few of you have suggested you do go to the theatre now and again, may I suggest we use THIS topic to recommend plays to the rest of us? Do go see the fascinating and imaginative and great fun version of Salome at Pentameters in Hampstead. I have nothing to do with this production. Except one of the actors was in my play before! Also, there's a futuristic version of Measure for MEasure at Players Theatre Villiers Street next month if you want to google that and check it out.

Really? Then go see the fascinating and imaginative and great fun version of Salome at Pentameters in Hampstead. I have nothing to do with this production. Also, there's a futuristic version of Measure for MEasure at Players Theatre Villiers Street next month if you want to google that and check it out. I have nothing to do with that one either.

Agree with what ct Wrote: "Bob, eating well might not be expensive, but eating poorer quality food is less costly" and also our time is arranged differently these days, specially those with kids who earn very low wages and mortgages. it's all very well spouting right ons tuff but some of you are being a bit patronising and are clearly totally unaware of the living situations for the bottom 75% of the population. Of COURSE they would eat more healthily and better if they had education, time, money, (YES money). Still, I suppose they could stop smoking but could they afford the time to queue on a Saturday at the organic meat shop on Lordship Lane. Maybe they'll all start stealing chickens from the likes of Chav's back yard and the govt will have to bring in new laws to stop people stealing chickens from people's back yards..... Be a bit more realistic would you - some of you - please? Right, gas mark 6 for 2 hours, make sure all those bugs in the chicken are dead, and my breasts are coming along nicely thank you.....!

I hated that TV show about photographers which is a sort of reality TV Click Factor type show to find photographers and eliminate people and humiliate people. I just wanted to see the photographs! All the nonsense spouted by the judges was dreadful.

This is why I LOVE LONDON!!! So much to see and do. This is why I LOVE MOTORCYCLES. Busses everywhere blocking everything. Can't wait to see this Festival as I missed it last year (I think there was one last year!)
