  1. So is Spotify = Bad but netflix = Good?
  2. cheers pete - I went there for first time at the weekend as it happens and got quite merry (blame sleep deprivation)
  3. ANY kind of attachment, or specific ones? (such as word documents) if you send a small .txt file can it open that (it should) but more proprietary file formats it may need specific software - mayve "documents to go" or something ?
  4. And what's the answer you respond with?
  5. I love the Castle too - but didn't the pub have a rep long before the forum? As landlady said tho "contributed to" In any case, back in the days of regular forum drinks, Castle played host to one of my favourite nights. And as well as many posts saying how much they hated the Castle, many of us on here posting opposte view so it's swings and roundabouts really If thr forum didn't exist there is still all of the pub review sites (beerinthevening, fancyapint etc etc) and your tripadvisors et al. It's 2013 so in the real world all landlords and landladies have to engage or at least accept that some people will post negative stuff. Far better to address it in the same arena as some other places have (and some others notably haven't - waves at the Greek place on Melbourne Grove)
  6. Louisa. Totally agree. Just as plausible. Exactly the same level of plausibility.
  7. What does that even mean Aquarius ? I read your post. You claimed your cat was put to sleep, but like Stephen kings per semetary it came back? And I'm defensive and impatient?
  8. It's as if people look at David Copperfield or David Blaine and go "wow. amazing. Must be true"
  9. Never mind what he got out of it, what did you? Hadn't done it before and not since? If it was genuinely powerful or, god forbid, useful, why not pursue this fantastic avenue
  10. Thing is, a lot of spiritualists pride themselves on not falling for religion. So i felt introducing god into argument was counter productive. But yknow. Jesus saves. Cats claw. Animals talk. Whatever
  11. Obvs. But I was making a deliberate effort not to derail the argument via religion
  12. Nothing spiritual about it Don't claim anything "spiritual". It bestows a gravitas that this made up nonsense doesn't deserve. I wanted it to be true. When I was 12. I wanted it so bad I read and consumed everything available. But as I grew up I realised it was nonsense. And in those 30+ years, communications and tech have expanded exponentially. And still there is nothing. No documented anything But people who "want" to believe. Grown up adults. Still persist in ticking off others for not " seeing" I'm angry because it shows that if people can believe this them they can believe anything. And in the real world where science and politics and rolling up sleeves is what get things done that ticks me off People who believe this are one step from scientoligists. Not even that And if ever my "arrogance" is proven wrong and I have to eat humble pie I'll do it gladly But guess what.... It won't happen Has there ever been any, any, consequence to anyone witnessing this stuff? No. Just people "seeing stuff" How convenient
  13. "A friend. A family member. I was told." Over and over again A lot less "I was there and I definitely saw/recorded/was with someone else who saw same thing" And instead of "hmmm good point" it's all " some people don't want to believe and are just plain rude bwah hah hah" Grow the fuck up people Santa. Not real Yeti. Not real UFO. Not real Ghosts. Not real
  14. Chemicals and sugar I could live with. Maybe But sunny d had vegetable oil in it. That's just wrong in something pretending to be "healthy" and fruit juicy
  15. Be realistic - The Ivy House and a small recatangular unit on North X Road aren't even remotely comparable Regardless of the plans for Ivy House, it's architectural features played a major part in saving that building from redevelopment With all due sympathies to Chris and others affected, a tiny bland unit on a small parade of shops isn't going to swing any votes with heritage organisations
  16. Not everyone has smartphones but first thing I do before I leave work is check train apps or websites. You can and should blame station for lack of info but once you start taking more control of the info yourself the happier you'll be
  17. a few years away from having to worry about secondary schools so haven't given it much thought yet (who knows what changes the next 5-10 years will bring to education system? Seems little point worrying about it until then) But the average teenager walking the streets seems pretty sound and undamaged
  18. he got sued by an ex worker in the US who had lost his job because of the public recoiling from the product - don't think he got anywhere with it I too thinkn JO is a decent cove and whilst his mannerisms (particularly in the American shows) grate, I suspct they are largely teh result of insecurities and shyness
  19. Yup. But the changes at east croydon or Hayward's Heath after that only add 10 minutes
  20. I am commuting and so far so good. Average train journey 1 hour with a bit of walking either side I used to bus from ed, so that could often be in same ballpark Depends where you work tho. I'm in blackfriars and walk to london bridge. 20 mins and good excercise in a sedentary job. Than london bridge train is less than an hour direct (Lewes bound). At commuting times Trooping down from ed itself makes the journey more complicated
  21. Having moved to Lewes.....ooooooh 8 days ago (but spent a lot of time there in last 6 months) I can confirm streets are very quiet of an evening but the pubs and restaurants are lively enough Definitely doesn't compare to lordship lane bustle of an evening but time comes when that's a good thing
  22. Public Transport usage in London visualised http://t.co/eNe4AKXScu
  23. "Serious academic research has been done and probably still is being done into various aspects of parapsychology, including by controlled experimental methods." That sounds good - what progress has been made? What outcomes have shown any progress from "we think this exists but can't prove it" people keep asking for links to results but noone has done so yet
  24. why is it strange Sue?
