Thanks for putting me right on that ruffers. ruffers wrote:- Maximising an expenses claim isn't a criminal act. Certainly isn't in the case of our wonderful, straight, honest, dilligent, carefully selected members of parliament anyway.

who complained when writers were silly

We need ladies of your calibre to remind us KK.

No mister Barber that site is on the corner of Underhill rd. It has been mentioned that it was passed for five houses, but someone on this forum thought it had 'got the nod' for a centre for immigrants. Does anyone know for sure what this site will be used for?

I must check in my bird book, I certainly did not intend to mislead anyone least of all myself. Thanks for pointing that out SimonM.

Cars had orange horizontal arm indicators they were the colour of Balesha beacons, and winkers came about 1950 onwards from abroad.

There is probably a very simple explaination for this either he is a nutter short of a loony bin, or some one has not returned his paper recycling bag and is disposing in a new original way.

I have had a pair of coal tits visit the peanut feeder for the last two days, they are the size of a great tit but with heavier black markings. I feel honoured.

SeanMG wrote:- Steve - do you deliberately misunderstand the facts to fit your own worldview, or is it out of your control? You may use those words Sean, but I could not possibly comment. Misunderstanding the facts? I thought the problem was that I do understand and it gives you grief when I mention vast swathes of our elected membership being 'at it', and only four 'gettin' it', for being caught 'at it'. Would you say Sean that that is a good average for the DPP (4 out of 600) or is that another government office not fit for purpose?

Sado-masochistic bleeding hound, or would that be 'blood hound'. Liked the position of whipper-in?

Yeah it smacks of cottaging. Especially as the recession still exists. Recessive cottaging genes.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Thames Water culvert/tunnell being constructed under ED between Brixton and Greenwich?

Puzzled wrote:- dangerous pets, as referred to by steve t, are very much in a minority. far and away the most prolific east dulwich doggies are jack russells. I don't remember criticising Jack Russells, and nor do I remember anyone else in this 'vociferous dog lobby' complaining about Jack Russells either. Perhaps you could refresh our imperfect memories? My only complaint has ever been, the dangers of walking across open ground in this city, where you can be readily attacked by a dog, powerful enough to bring down and kill or maim an adult. All this being controlled by a macho brainless moron who is probably getting a hard on whilst watching the beast maul you. How can that be a good thing for society? I do apologise for not making my position clear from the outset it is most remiss of me. Please forgive me.

It was quoted on the news that 580 of the 600 odd had in fact been receiving monies they were not entitled to, in other words they were caught 'at it' Sean. Sean wrote:- If you or I do a tax dodge, and get caught then we know full well we deserved it Sadly the case with me is that I submit my books to an accountant, who signs them off as a fair and true account. Now that we know what they were doing, getting tax free, illicit claims, we would like to see some fair play. Has the order for the Goose Green stocks and gibbet been activated yet?

Make Underhill rd a one way street from Barry rd might just be the answer.

Puzzled wrote:- there is a very vocal anti-dog lobby and we really don't need to feed their hostility with tales of "devil dogs". You really think the anti-dog lobby need a 'devil dog' title to get vocal? This place is littered with idiots and their dangerous 'pets'.

SeanMG wrote:- Good riddance I say - save your money and get the decent steak again. They are not meant to cook steaks, for that you need a frying pan with oil and clouds of blue smoke coming from it. They are excellent for re-heating cold food from the fridge, Christmas Pudding type desserts, and warming up cold drinks of tea and coffee and defrosting.

We all know it's a storm in a tea cup, but for all those people who have been convicted of fraud I would like to speak for the benefit of those poor saps who (would be like you and I) had the indignity and misfortune of reaping the wrath of the state for being found against. Sorry if these 'facts' don't agree with your world view Sean. I cannot bear to see this injustice go unchallenged, because I do not see them as a special case, but more snout-troughing over-indulged, smug, thieves. Apart from that I am sure there are some who are honest and straight, it is right and proper for the 'good ones' to see them get their just deserts. Otherwise why be honest and straight?

If you buy second hand, perhaps you will buy one thats gone beyond the usual breaking down period, and it might see you out. I thought that might cheer you up daizie.

Soooo to recap then 600 odd MP's wrote their own rules on expense claims and then they broke their own rules and 4 out of the six hundred plus get punished no real point in having your own rules is there?

No they don't, you have to toil and sweat to dig yourself into a hole like that.
