*Bob*

Yes.. our gaff is literally heaving with them at the moment. And they all look like that one.

I can hear the compensation till a-ringing already

So.. you spent weeks banging-on about it on here (thus perpetuating THE most pointless thread we've had for months) but couldn't even be arsed to go to the meeting? Nice one!

When the muggers accept VISA.

It's annoying, sure.. but there are worse things that can happen to you (and to where you live) on a dark night in London.

I'm confused.. who's talking about the FHT and who's talking about the Rye?

Maurice - did you go to the meeting?

You can buy hard bike covers (a bit like a mini-garage, I suppose) and you can install anchors, sunk into concrete or fixed into a wall, but they're not always an option. There's always somewhere where your bike is vulnerable. I had two nicked in the space of a year, prompting a visit from the claims investigator "So, Mr *Bob*.. (fixes me with icy stare).. you seem to be losing an awful lot of motorcycles, mmmm?" Buying heavier or less desirable (or both) machines seems to be the best deterrent. Sad, but true.

He should resign with regards to the handling of the aftermath of the shooting, taking the case to court and for the presentation of the Met's case within court. All those things were within his direct control and he has failed miserably. As for the shooting itself.. well.. The police run over and kill people when responding to emergency calls, people die whilst under restraint in custody, there are many accidental shootings. They may not be such high profile deaths under such intense scrutiny, but they are deaths nonetheless. But you never get an audience on QT demanding the Met's head on a platter as a result. If the top brass had to resign in every such instance they'd need a revolving door on the Commissioner's office.

Ahhh... my first nice motorcycle. Every night, I wheeled it up a plank into the kitchen of my shared house and parked it in the kitchen. Then, one night, I got home very early in the morning and - not wanting to wake my already very accommodating housemates up - I left it in the back yard. And some c*** nicked it.

You're 'avin a laugh now, aren't you, Sharp?

I honesty thought it was called 'Ghandhi' - reason enough to stay away.

I heard Sharp does the PR for Osbourne Stewart

I think I can trace my interest back to Judi Trott in 'Robin of Sherwood'.

Can you secretly snap her on your moby and post a pic? Call it a test of your stalking abilities.

You've got to see the funny side. People in SE22 claim not to be pretentious but then moan about Foxtons moving in and ruining the 'village feel'.

Schoolboy error, Chocaholic. When it's Halloween, you turn all the lights off out front, retire to a rear room and hide under a lampshade.

Luke Bateman, 30, a composer, is house-hunting in SE22. With a budget of ?800,000, he wants a three- or four-bedroom house. That's all we need. Another loafer.

This is the fourth or fifth article I've seen in as many months about SE22. Not including the comedy 'Forest Hill' phone-in on BBC Radio London last week where a FH Estate agent described the delights of drinking in Forest Hill ("Yeah.. you could start in Black Cherry, move on the The Bishop..") And.. a nice bit of free publicity for Property In's weird ?1.7mil mansion (opposite the Co-Op)

Did you observe the 'pumpkin rule', Nutty?

Perhaps we should have a 'Forum Census', Mr Admin?
