WTF?!

Thanks for the suggestions. Will let you know what we decide.

Hi, Baby girl due on Tuesday and struggling with name. Anyone want to offer suggestions? I have been toying with Bailey. What do you think?

Does DJKillaQueen work in television?

Ever since extra, brighter street lights were installed on my road there has been an increase in individuals hanginging out at night. Currently there is a football game going on at gone midnight which has woken my baby. The council at the time installed several light shields to address complaints about the direct effect on peoples ability to sleep, but there is no mitigation do the sleepless nights caused by bored youths who now congregate in the floodlit street. Apparently the lights were upgraded because it makes people feel safer. But I wonder if there is any evidence of whether it effects low level antsocial /nuisance behaviour?

I believe that if you witness behaviour which you consider to be unacceptable you should challenge it. If concepts of society, community are to mean anything, then this is what it takes.

A lack of education and or resources does not make you violent towards children.

...and an increase in the number of fast food outlets.

When is the Sparkle and Spin shop on Melbourne Grove actually open (or are you just wholesale)?

The real solution is to remove the illusion of 'choice' and just make children go to their nearest school.

I have an 18 month old child and she is becoming very challenging, hitting and throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her own way. I am not sure how best to discourage this behaviour - she seems to understand when I speak to her, but her language is limited so it's hard to be sure what she comprehends. I was thinking of using a 'naughty step' when I believe that she is deliberately acting up, but is she too young for this?

I was having a picnic in Dulwich park today with some mums and babies and three dogs attacked our picnic and ate our food. The 'professional' dog walker who was supposedly in charge of them apologised, but did virtually nothing to stop them (except shouting, which set one of the kids off crying). After they had finally left us alone, yet another, unrealted dog came over and nicked a scotch egg. What the hell is going on? Do people not use leads anymore. Should I have my picnics in Catford in future?

Please don't tell me that this will mean more speed bumps?!

I was nearly run over by a lady in a merc speeding down heber road. She stopped with a screech outside the primary school and ran in. Clearly late picking up a child. Totally thoughtless. Speedbumps just seem to be considered sport for the White van drivers who sail over them at speed (perhaps they've misinterpreted the name). Unfortunately bumps seem to have replaced actual enforcement.

Homeopathy is complete nonsense. If antibiotics don't work, a placebo is unlikely to do the trick in my opinion.

Hello My 2nd baby is due in 6 weeks and I have been suffering from sciatica for the past 2 weeks and it is showing no signs of going. Physio has been recommended which I am obviously very keen to start asap as with no. 2 due in 6 weeks I need to make sure I am in 'peak' condition for the birth! So, if anyone can recommend a good local physiotherapist I would be very happy to hear from you. Thanks very much Vicky

Saw a 2 bed flat for sale on the estate. Asking price ?190,000. This would require any purchaser to have around ?19,000 cash deposit and a ?57,000 pa salary.

....keeping me awake. Anyone know what they're upto?

Well done James. I hope other councillors take note of your excellent example.

What is going on? Seriously,does anyone have any insight into what is turning 13 year olds into savage murders? This is just inconceivable. Condolences to the family. Let's hope that the animals responsible are caught.

Hello I have a 16 month old daughter, and her grandma is going to start looking after her on a Monday. Any ides about what they can get up to on a Monday? All suggestions very welcome! Thanks very much
