Huggers

Am a secret shameful Casualty addict, thoUGHT i'D taped last episode of summer while on hols, but no, turned plug off. A brief synopsis would be very welcome. Did the consultant bloke with the brain tumour die? Was the love triangle of that other doctor bloke and nurse woman and child kidnapping doctor husband resolved or did they all get exploded by the animal rights brigade as is a common casualty loose ends tidier.? I know you would prefer to PM me rather than expose your own piccadilloes so I'll just wait here on this cyber corner for 'my man'. thanks.

peckham rye b.r. today at lunchtime, four staff on electronic gates to catch evaders plus two staff at stop of stairs ditto, yet one bloke in ticket boothe enabling people to actually legally purchase a ticket.

EDenders?

The Asylum, Asylum Road. A 1960's timewarp.

he's just phoned- the train behind has given them a shunt, they are free! Just when they were on the verge of having to eat eachother after two hours without any cheesy whatsits.

If he's in the pub he is ventriloquising excellent background meaningless announcement noises....so I think he's stuck alright and we are flying to Sardinia tommorow!

My husband has been stuck on a broken down train just outside Peckham Rye Station for about an hour and a half with little or no information with trains banked up behind them all the way back to London Bridge. If your partner is missing, that may well be where he/she is.

have you asked police lost property...you never know!

Hi Helen, do you do rush work? Ive got a william Birch arts and crafts carver that needs re-rushing?

snoozequeen we drowned them, harsh but fair.

our mice seem to have gone. We put down poison(one lot) and sticky traps (caught two)but also plugged in siren things in every mouse-attractive room. We havent seen any since june and this is in a house where they had got to the stage where they were sauntering around without a care in the world in front of our very eyes- so whichever of the devices has worked has worked.

Brewski- could it be the same people?

this happened to me today. I parked near Peckham rye park, edging into a space, my bumper touched the car's bumper behind- not tapped it but touched it-i had perfect clutch control. A man suddenly appeared demanding my insurance details and pointed at his bumper saying I had bent it. Well I had not. And there was no mark on my bumper. Anything on his- which I could hardly detect- were old dirty marks. He pointed at a house and said there was a witness. Low and behold a man looking out. I stood my ground and said I was happy for my insurance company to inspect the cars. He then said it didnt matter and would let it go. Nevertheless, it worried me, I returned to the car, photographed both bumpers on my phone - unfortunately did not take his reg as he was watching from window and didnt want to exacerbate situation-and am contacting my insurance company in the morning. Either he was winding me up, was after some cash or trying to get his car done up on my expense. It was a sports car. This has happened to me before when I got a letter from the police saying i had written someone's car off at a roundabout. The police inspected my car and no damage or paint residue found. As I had been in the place reported at the time I reckon another scam or even taking my reg down instead of the perpitrator. My innocence was supported by the evidence. Inform your insurance company, invite inspection (there will be paint on your car if you were involved)and tell them you are speaking to a solicitor. A scammer will withdraw quickly. A genuine mistake will be sorted out.

I hear Mohammed al fayed is interested in relocating Harrods there.

actually, shouting 'paedo' is a really good way of getting rid of a mugger.

call me naive, but I am wondering what earthly use a photo of a child at a fair is to a 'horrible website' when horrible websites are apparently full of horrible pictures. Also the media/advertising is inundated with images of children already, many inapppropriately sexualised, selling you stuff, which these people can already look at. On the other hand I find people photographing me or my children without permission annoying and would have no problem approaching the person myself and saying so.

Bellenden road was very nice. There was an amazing chocolate bananary cherry pudding and I would like to know how to make it.

lambeth are notorious for misleading and misinforming in order to maximise car fine revenue. removing cars, not admitting they have done so, owners assuming car stolen, fines piling up every day kind of thing. Google them and see.

Interesting points DPF. But the question to ask is not how many are passing but which ones. Who are the fifty per cent? are they the fifty per cent who would do well wherever they were? what's happening to the others? Who is teaching them and how? Is it a social failure or an educational failure? ? I have no idea. The canker in the ear of our national education system (imo)is private education. Not because it creams off bright children- in fact it is mainly its enhancement of the mediocre who then go on to rule us with their lack of imagination that hurts- but because of the 'cop out clause' which means no one has to put up with the public system if they can get the dosh together,meaning their is a lack of 'investment' - and I mean social investment by an elite who guarantee the flow of law makers, governors, bankers come from/through its own system .

thanks Curly, no worries, But my child has been there for a year, hence my support and praise for the school. My son follows her there this september. Dulwich Park Fairy, there is no reason why most children cannot pass school exams/gcse's if the teaching is good unless they have particular special educational needs. Exams are not pitched towards the gifted but the average. 92 percent a-c's still means that 8 percent are not getting that level, and maybe they never would be able to for whatever reason. I think its great that people are no longer obsessing about askes but sending their kids to all our local schools, making them reflect a better mix of abilities and therefore turning them into schools everyone can believe in.

edited because.

9 bands equally divided,

OK Keef, you are prob right but then maybe its the 'perception' of it being middle class- because otherwise I don't understand what the problem is meant to be. If it wasnt priveleged before( by having its pick of students)and it isnt now, then how can the idea of the ''intake'' changing cause so much hypothetical rumbling about how it's changed. Looking back over this thread, it's full of 'teachers jumping ship'(eh...to teach privately), dilapidated standards, and I quote ''what effect the merger with Monson and altered entry criteria will have on the mix of children and standards'' kind of question, - but our experience is that it is good. Someone somewhere at the beginning of this thread asked what it was like, and that's what I think.

If he's been arrested and charged why the advice about not going out alone and to stay away from the park?
