she's like that baddie in Battle of the Planets cartoon BotP

I hear you - but that is a problem for drivers and pedestrians alike - a dodgy junction/passage has been created by, in this case, extra cars parked Both drivers and pedestrians should be alert and not assume that any corner is "ok" - When I lived in a village in Devon I used to drive back in the dark winter evenings and because of the layout of the tiny square in the centre there was the worst blind spot I have ever seen - it just has to be accounted for. Environments change The most obvious aid from third parties would be one of those wide-angle mirrors you get at blind spots

Twasn't directed at you jumpinjackflash, or even LadyG who started the thread - I'm just not sure what the problem is An influx of cars, for whatever reason, require somewhere to park. The guy (let's assume it was a guy) who boxed you in was an eejit for sure - but the thread is about the extra cars needing parking and the impact on the area in question - which I understand... but what I don't understand is people who already own and use at least one car, complaining about it Where would you have the fans park? Are there reasons why they don't park there? Me being me I would go by PT, and i know that LadyG often uses PT as well - but unless we (as in we collectively as a society) start to restrict car usage more, then tackling it at this micro level is futile in the extreme

so where do y'all park when you travel away from Dulwich? Does everyone email ahead and ask for local resident pre-approved parking spots?

It's the only way Annasfield, you're right I always make to take a photograph as soon as they say no. They are not obliged to pull over but as soon as they do and if you are within (I think it's 9 miles now)then they have to If it's that widespread and if they get enough complaints then something will happen. Since Ken extended from 6 to 9 miles the situation is much better than it used to be so he listened before

(unless it's Ganapati ;-) )

MW - are you tongue in cheek with the raise it to the ground comment? Considering how upset you were about the wood yard going that surprised me

not sure why anyone would dismiss the Palmerston as Crap. As a pub it's possible to have a few beers still but I can see why for many people it doesn't work any more But as a place to eat good food (as in food you don't cook at home normally and the stuff that you would is of a very hight quality) and drink I would say it's well up there

spooky, Piers - I was just about to post this The Airline Pilots forum - Guardian 1st Feb

I think someone posted in here - not sure it's generated enough interest to warrant de-Loungeing?

"do you know my dear, without your glasses you are quite beautiful!" "why thank you sir - without my glasses you are quite handsome too"

going to be a bit of a trek home for you isn't it MrBen?

Oi kel ! Stop fishing. . . You were very popular when you came along and you know it. . keef is still upset he missed you

dang - first week I make it down..... next time then

comedy at EDT for me as well if it wasn't that, Lucky 7's was a hoot last week so I would probably wander over that way (Rolo were you there last week?)

It does read as grumpy old man doesn't it? I don't mean it to be - I enjoy it as much as the next man/woman But as Piers says, the sheer volume of contributions mean some good non-game stuff gets lost along the way It's not just Hangman - there are several threads now which encourage continuous one-liner stuff and as I say I'm not against them but maybe a bit of re-ordering is due? and my facEDbook pun got all of the non-attention it deserved I see ;-)

The Lounge appears to have been turned into a huge games room - any chance we can have a new area Lounge - non ED specific issues facEDBook - parlour games ?? The games are fun and everything but some pretty good discussions get lost

I'm surprised more people on here haven't commented on the "real" news which the papers picked up on yesterday Any of the forum's pro-homeopathists care to comment on the recent NHS news?

slightly overused now but I still like it "It is amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit". John Wooden.

Brendan You, sir, are mining a rich seam of form at the moment...

I think Keef expressed it rather better when he said pubs like the Palmerston are actually restaurants now and should be more correctly advertised as such There isn't any need to condemn people as "poncey foodies" now is there?

Dom - 2 great choices - but are they underappreciated? Probably considering how good they are. But compared to most others on the list they do ok..

people in the no-phones carriage of trains who get arsey with YOU because you point out the obvious - yes yes you're a captain of industry - bugger off to first class with you then you arse

wish I had gone to the Grinderman gigs - "but she just...didn't...want to!"
