So basically the 'coked-up' elements in a drunken crowd can be identified by thrashing their tongues around like a washing machine, talking a lot, perhaps in a non-colloqial accent and being self-indulgent when in conversation ?

Just so I can understand (and perhaps, on reflection, retrospectively recognise the above scenario on LL !), what ARE the characteristics of someone on the substance mentined above. I can recognise someone who is drunk, but how would I distinguish them from someone who's in that state plus "coked-up" ?

Hi All, Anyone ever had to do this / can you advise a way to achieve this ? Forgot my password for my username. Pressed the button/link advised for when have 'forgotten password ?', message says you will be emailed / receive a notification shortly. Never received anything (have tried before) so have had to set-up new (different) userid. Any tips ? I have emailed the admin previoulsy too but I guess they're real busy or something. Problme was, from work I don't need to declare my password when accessing EDF but from home for some reason (I get is recognises the location from which I'm accessing as different) requires a PWd to add messages / create threads. Del.

Sometimes I sense there's some similarities or parallels between Dylan's works and Walt Whitman's works. Not specific poems or songs which I could point to, more the pace and tempre, the essenec if you will. Just my view though. Also, I think it's accepted that Rambaud and his boyfriend ('Verlaine' ?) influenced the young Dylan.

Moos: I have seen said queueing scenarios for 48/149 bus at LB and other places. So is the 'need' to queue right up the ass of the guy ahead driven by 'fear' of losing one's place alone, or is there some other, more sinister predicates at work....

OK Thanks jumpinjackflash, so where do I get details please ? I called a no. on the website but no answer....

I feel the time is right for a revolution, a revolution in behavioural patterns, initially within SE22 and then perhaps rolled-out across the country and then, dare I say it, the entire world.... E.G. Some days I get the train from East Dulwich railway station and, to get to the entrance for London-bound trains I walk around a queue of many several folks intent on queing at an exact 90 degrees to the wall with the machine they are using. Sometimes they form a queue of several yards, past the post box so I'm actually walking away from the station entrance, to the bus stop and then back to the entrance I'm headed for. The worst I've seen is Monday morning at ED station ticket desk, the queue came onto the pavement and right across it to the kerb and the people only 'bent' their queue alongside the kerb because failing to do so may have led to being crushed by a bus ! The cashpoints along Lordship Lane sometimes have queues across the entire pavement too, whilst there's no collective intention to do this and whilst it's not a single person's intention, can it be resolved ? Of course, people are always very nice and courteous and happily stand to one side when asked politely so I have no issue with passing through the queue per se. I suspect perhaps that people believe if they don't stand immediately behind the person in front they will be perceived as having no 'claim' to a place in the queue and therefore liable to 'lose' their 'place'. I know this is not a world-changing event or a critical issue, I know it's not a physically demanding feat to walk around these nice people or politely step through them but it's a curious spectacle and causes me to question whether we could re-educate people to queue alongside the wall rather than away from it ? Or maybe even if enough of the EDF readers saw this they could start the 'revolution' here in ED... Is this a specific English/UK phenomenon or would it be done differently in (for example) America, Japan, Nigeria ? Your esteemed comments would be held in high regard for at least the forseeable future.

The DHFC website does not mention boxing coverage. Is there a seperate entity which deals with use oftheir entertainment facilities ie. the hall where I guess they'd show the Hatton/Pacman fight ? Has anyone actually got tickets or knows what the deal is ? ie. Sports cafe in Haymarket often says you have to be in the venue by midnight so they can cream you for 3-4 hours of beer/food before the actual contest starts. Any advice appreciated.

Not quite on LL, but go for Blue Brick cafe they do doorstep bread and you get a smile to boot.

My Dad's bigger than your Dad.. Get you in the playground.. etc etc.....

Jeez don't knock a guy for being shaken by someone being executed by a single bullet to the back of their head in proximity to their neighbourhood !! Especially when People take things different ways and react how they feel like reacting. We all know what we SHOULD do for crissakes. As for the perpetrators I don't think they're trying to scare people from the neighbourhood, they were more focussed on taking that poor guy out. There's no battle going on for the streets !

PERHAPS THE FIRST ONES TO HEAD FOR THE EARLY TRAINS TOMORROW (friday) CAN POST ON HERE THEIR SUCCESSES IF THEY MANAGE TO GET ON THE TRAINS FIRST THING. LOADS OF PHONES ALLOW THAT EMAIL THINGY THESE DAYS DONT THEY. THEN US WHO GET LATER TRAINS CAN CHECK THE EDF WEBSITE FOR THE REPORTS - MORE RELIABLE PERHAPS THAN RAIL WEBSITES ! KK

OK thanks Floating O, just seen that thread now ya mention it, will have a gander....

ARE TRAINS FROM EAST DULWICH TOLONDON BRIDGE (and BACK) ON SCHEDULE NOW PEOPLE ? CHEERS, KK.

My work all went home at lunchtime, I'm the only one still here from a floor of 200+ Folks are worried about not being able to get home, it figures. What's terrible is the canteen's shut and even the coffee shop. Life sure can get tough.....

OK so it looks like the West Croydon trains are running giving a train to/from ED to LB every 30 mins. That's not bad. Thanks for that SE22JAM.

HeidiHi - sorry didn't see other threads. SE22JAM - thanks. Pickle - if nowt through peckham Rye then that means nowt through ED too as all ED trains stop at PR. Am in City, just thinking how to get back. Maybe another night up here then ! thanks all.

We all had warning of this snow coming. Those who are anal enough to want to trudge through snow or try somehow to get into work (like ME) can plan around these advance warnings like (e.g.) coming in the night before and staying with a friend nearer their workplace or wherever it is they need to get to. 8% of staff are in my building of usually 3000. Lazy day is well-earned by all, make the most of it folks, I envy you all !! KK (Clearly not overworking today.....)

Can anybody advise if there are trains running currently from East Dulwich to London Bridge (or BACK again..) please ? Railtrack website does not advise much apart from 'train delays in South England'. When I query on specific train journeys I get the same message. Any (current) advice gratefully received....

Darned Lucky !

Excellent. In a 90 min meeting this morning I managed (shown with wrap-around context): C'mon guys, "One Team One Dream". Clearly we're "Fixing a Hole". There's "Obviously 5 Believers". You need to "Get Your Motor Runnin'". For queries of the that nature "I'm The Man". and (since she leaves on Friday).... Let's all say "Gudbye T'Jane". I strangely make a habit of this in meetings. Think up the lines then slip them, sometimes steering the chat to the appropriate point so the line seems wholly relevant.

Those funnely spiders I have in my rear house wall each year, where the builders once drilled (and did not fill) holes to injection my damp-proof course. Each drilled hole has one and they sit an inch or two inside the hole waiting for action. They've been there for years seasonally but I don't think they're from hotter climbs or owt. But yeah when you shine a torch in their holes (!) at night, their fangs stand out bigstyle and look totally out of proportion, exceeding even the most exaggerated expectations a spider could ever have of looking dangerous by way of the fangs it's toting.

If you're ever in The Cut/Lower Marsh near Waterloo in the week or on saturdays try Marie's cafe, a greasy spoon cafe run by Thais for at least 20 yrs and they have, wait for it, a handful of Thai dishes available also, none take more than a few mins to prepare and serve and although cramped it's a good little cafe. Just thought of this when someone mentioned Thai owners of greasy cafes or something.

Ate there yesterday afternoon, 4 adult mains and some kiddie food. Food was great staff were friendly and clearly on busy (sunny) days they're going to be a bit pushed - hey guess what it's a pub garden not The Ivy. Of course we'll go there again. Yes the general staff behaviours could do with being a bit more 'joined-up' and the kiddies pasta at ?4 for some strings of spaghetti seemed a bit tight and no bread with your little bowl of soup seemed a bit tight but all in all good grub.

I spoke to southwark council about removing a tree from the pavement in front of my neighbour's house. The house is 4 feet from their wall and 8-10 feet from their/my house. It's about 35-40 feet high now with girth at base of about 10-12 inches. Since it's been planted (on a pavement wher no tree was planted perviously) huge cracks have opened up on the pavement and when you look at the pavement from the road you can see on both sides of the tree the pavement has been pushed-up about 2-3 inches above the kerbstones. Also my neighbour's wall has started to lean towards their house. When I called the council they advised my neighbour would need to (at his own cost) have a contractor pull down his wall, dig out his foundations, dig a trench a few feet deep and determine whether any roots had grown under the wall foundations. If they had, then my neighbour may be in a position to make a complaint. My assumption is that the tree is probably not genetically modified to grow 'clever' roots which know NOT to dare grow under a wall or under a house's foundations. However my neighbour who's not wealthy fears the cost of this investigative work. It's obvious (based on there being no trees elsewhere near our houses and therefore no other examples of mangled pavement) that the tree has caused this damage but there's a lot of assing about to get a result form the council. Zinc nails will do the trick tho.
