Neighbours playing dubstep?

1 Forest Hill Road surgery is invariably beyond belief. :)

Peckham's finest, Katy B, in a Jacques Greene dubsteppy remix Currently on free download from Amazon. She's got an album out on Monday. Good reviews.

Diner's Hill = Dawson's Hill etc.?

I have solid oak block worktops. Lovely. Yes, you need to look after them a bit more, but frankly not a lot (and I'm not a very careful person but they still survive). If you have any accidents, you can always sand the spot a bit before next time you oil. I oil once a year.

I'm horrified by the very idea of living in the same street as either missus or rubyshoes. Thankfully..

You seem to think that means people say you're a Christian, which you then vigorously deny; but that's not something anyone ever said you were; they are saying the opposite. Um, there seems to be a comprehension problem here (with English)....? The point people are making is that your attitude seems to be self-serving rather than...

She said it was parked on the same road as where she lives. A road that is some 250m long or so. Are they taking advantage of any council tax paid by anyone? That's yet to be demonstrated.

The only winners from globalisation are the major corps. Local people do not win: they suffer appalling assaults to their environment and health (food supplies, drinking water supplies etc.). As a generalisation we are all going to > be a bit poorer until we get some proper firmly > based growth from diverse enterprise driven > economy... Growth? From what? Just what is going to be making that growth happen? Middle Eastern oil? We're not going to be 'a bit poorer'. We're going to be a lot, lot poorer, for a very long time. Even the IEA is wising up, finally, to the finite nature of everything (though its predicted energy prices, from the last report, were already looking hilarious when they were published, and more so now). We're going to have a job on our hands to cope with: Energy prices. Up. Commodity prices. Up. Rare minerals (for electronics) prices. Up. Food prices. Up. The rate of increase is often extremely scary. And most developed economies are looking like a dog's dinner; and it's ordinary folks that have been asked to foot the bill. The only winners over the last 50 years (since the mid-50s) have been the top 1% (by income; and by wealth) in first-world countries. Take a look at the data. That is the trend, and it keeps on going in that direction.

rubyshoes, you seem to be a Daily Wail reader and general control freak who cannot keep your fingers out of other peoples' business. Mein got. What are you proposing? Bringing back the g** chambers for alleged miscreants or summat? Why not just leave people be? Why not have a good time and watch the ever-interesting world go by instead of interfering in the lives of others? Are they causing you any actual, actual aggro? Or do you feel you have to make people notice you through ridiculous pronouncements? (I notice quite a high proportion of moaning Minnie posts among the few you've made.) Why not see the positive, instead of the negative? Signed A local business owner and home owner, who does not employ moaning Minnies. (No, not some hippy waster, as you seem to classify anyone who doesn't agree with you.)

The signs at the eastern end of Barry Road are also obscured by trees. Edit: ah, but of course that is not 20 mph. Doh :-S

Or even, to weaken. I don't see what they are doing as outside the UN resolution. Arab League: key.

Hi Admin, There are people who would like to meet you (other forum, nearby local but non-competitor), and I've tried to find the forum meet-up thread without success; even though I knew the date. (Thread not pinned.)

Even knowing the date it's on, I still can't find the relevant thread on EDF! Trying to link up peeps who run another nearby forum with peeps who run EDF, but clearly without success!

...and is not pinned in any section. Gawd, it's really difficult to find....!

I'm kinda surprised that this forum's F2F get-together is not mentioned at all in the 'About this forum' area.

"Why limit yourself" is what you wrote, dully. The post sounded vaguely insulting. If we could make out what you were trying to say, if might have been insulting. Toward another "counsellor"? Who knows! If you're going to have a pop at people... etc. etc.

Oh, RecorderSue, they'd get in easily enough, cutting through your windows (old putty) with a Stanley knife! It's happened to my neighbours recently. With me, they've just broken the glass.

Crikey, do people still believe in three witches mumbo jumbo? I though most people on here could read and write by now... and hence look at the evidence. Oh well, there's one born every minute, I suppose.

It was truly amazing this evening. :)

Get karter

dully, there is a difference between "counsellor" and "councillor". "Why limit yourself" in your understanding of the English language?

Will Station Manager Barry be involved this year?

*** EDF Priory guests - an announcement concerning the fine weather *** While many guests of the EDF Priory may relish the thought of perambulating around the fair lawns of the EDF Priory in this fine weather, the management of the EDF Priory would like to remind guests that certain dangers may await them. In particular, roving reporters are a particular menace at this time of year. They may accost guests at the most unexpected moments, with the oft-heard expression "look into my eyes, look into my eyes". Guests should ensure they always leave the building with their maximum-coverage shades ON in order to avoid any possibility of direct eye contact with the vipers of Fleet Street.

I can recommend Bergerie de la Bastide vin de pays d'Oc 2009, from the ever wonderful Green & Blue. Cheap and cheerful, and probably available on the NHS by now. 12.5% provides sufficient alcoholic content, without the over-egging of the pudding that a big fat Shiraz is prone to do.
