No, but only because I have been literally housebound with two flu ridden children. But I'll be popping up tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy it Narnia - Happy Christmas!

I think I'm inclined to tell them the story and let them decide what, if anything, to do about it. I'm no expert, but they are, so I guess they'll know best what to do.

For Jeremy, by his own admission most suitable....! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grumpy-Old-Men-Jeremy-Clarkson/dp/B0002XOZRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293123246&sr=1-1

Not that simple though is it pk. If he IS looking for someone at the refuge then it may not be safe for her to even go out because he has got very close to finding her. But I've already said, I don't really know what to do. So it isn't nonsense, it's trying to do the right community-minded thing. How sad it would be if I'm right and he does find her and do her harm. And I'm not keen on the Daily Mail tone to be honest - I not "going up to women with dreadlocks to say that some nutter's looking for them". I'm wondering whether to give the refuge this information in case it is helpful.

I love: 1. Helping my elderly neighbours, who in return tolerate my noisy dog, kids and chickens without a moment's complaint. 2. Living on a street where people know each other, have for years, say good morning, were VERY welcoming when I moved in, take in parcels and generally look out for each other, and always have a smile and a chat. Lovely. 3. This forum, where I've found friends, support during difficult times, and a lovely lovely boyfriend as well as loyal customers and very helpful feedback for my local business. 4. Popchoir - Dulwich is the original choir and after a year we are now performing at local events, fairs, fund raising events, having a real laugh and making good friends too. 5. Finding some brilliant quality local businesses, such as the fantastic Gary Cooper, my plumber, Karen from Earthworks, the excellent blokes at Dulwich DIY, Garysvan, and lots of others. Reliable, well priced and generally lovely to get to know. Now if ONLY I could afford to buy a house here!

Good news! Nothing so annoying as losing your phone and all your contacts etc especially when you work for yourself. As you say small compensation, but at least it is something. I'll be pie buying tomorrow!

Just recovering. Hot and cold shivers, ache all over, unbelievably tired, lots of snot, horrible headaches. Treated with as much sleep as two small kids would allow, keeping out of cold air if possible, and paracetamol. It lasted about a week.

Good on you huggers. Hope she's there Friday.

The Dorchester do a lovely tea.

I have no doubt he wasn't her brother at all but is the person she's escaped from IF this theory is correct. But I don't want to poke my nose in either. Tricky.

What a horrible experience for her, and gutting to lose all the takings. What a coward to pick on a woman on her own. I will certainly be needing a pie or two very soon I think. Maybe the best way to show our support is to buy one of her delicious pies and hopefully make up for lost takings. (But I do agree with Keef. I don't think wishing them dead, by any method, is helpful)

Thanks all. Thinking about it I'm afraid he was probably looking for someone at the refuge that is quite near me. I feel very sad for whoever that person is and sincerely hope he doesn't find her - he was very well built and not very charming. And now I think about it more carefully he said that his sister lived "round here" rather than specifically naming my road. He gave her full name but I can only remember the first name so can't check out 192.com. If I DO see the woman fitting that description (and I haven't so far) I wonder should I tell her? Or should I go and tell the refuge that he's lurking about looking for her? He's really not a million miles away from her if this theory is correct.....

Oh good lord. Now I'm really glad I didn't open the door. Cos there is.

Well to be fair he did tell me her full name and describe her, well, he said she had dreadlocks, which is sort of a description I suppose. But still, it does seem very strange.

Just had a very very loud knock at my door. Which immediately put me on edge because I have a perfectly useable doorbell, and it was very loud. So I peeked out of the curtains to the front door, where there was a very large cross looking bloke. I still felt uneasy so I shouted "Can I help you?" through the door. He told me, rather crossly, that he was looking for his sister, to go to her christmas party, and did I know where she lived. I said I didn't know her. He seemed annoyed and described her a bit more and said someone must know her because she lived around my road so I must have seen her. He repeated that someone must know her and I repeated that I didn't. He left crossly. Am I being paranoid or is this a bit, er, dodgy? I REALLY didn't want to open the door. Why did he bang so loudly and not ring the bell? Why doesn't he know where his sister lives? Especially if he's going to her party? I don't feel like I can call the police because he hasn't done anything, but I feel very glad I didn't open the door and I sincerely hope he doesn't do anything to any of my lovely neighbours...... BUT don't want to be paranoid person who reads one thread about intruders and is convinced the whole of London is a war zone........

And stopped again.

Brilliant story Kidkruger. Might just try that myself (if you can't beat 'em.......)

Lightweight.

You learn fast Dickensman. It bodes well. Though as you say, not as well as a fat bank account......

I flew to Hong Kong in Feb this year with a very bad ear infection. I had finished antibiotics and was on the mend, which was the reason that the doc told me, reluctantly, that I could fly. But I was told that it could do damage and wasn't a particularly good idea.

LOVELY! My boy has what I refer to as permanent rubber bands up his nose. Each time he exhales two globs of green snot appear half way down his upper lip, and as he inhales, they disappear back up his hooter. I'm spending the day trying to perfect my timing so I can squeeze and wipe as he exhales......damn! Just missed an excellent chance while typing......

I live near pekham rye and have done plenty of walking about in the snow. I have seen nothing. No boobs, no willies, no obscene sexual swear words. Not one single member of any size shape or description. I feel a little hard done by.
