Another milestone reached. I've deleted the death threats - that's freed-up a bit of space. Thanks for the tip-off.

It's a disposable consumer world, Sue. I'm afraid you'll just have to replace the whole car.

Boris Island is a pipedream. The third runway will be exactly where it's always been planned - Heathrow. Gatwick is a diversionary tactic to appear 'open to ideas' I think. fl0wer Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So it seems to me that consumer choices have the > most bearing on what happens next. On this I certainly agree. That's why there will be a third runway. It's why people are still willing to climb into their cars despite it taking an hour to move five miles across London.

Perhaps the forum could benefit from a template thread for this complaint? Simply personalised the relevant pieces of information and then submit? Has anyone noticed the increase in aircraft noise recently? I've lived in (insert) for (insert) years and never used to hear a thing. Now every single aircraft coming into London flies directly over my garden, turns left at the shed and then lands at Heathrow. Does anybody else feel the same?

.. and today's news, of course http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25402007

Here's the EDF thread from 2007 - a few choice quotes below http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,44985,page=1 "Is it just me or is there suddenly a huge increase in the air traffic noise in East Dulwich? I moved over a year ago, but have only noticed this in the last couple of months. Either I have been living under a rock for 12 months or something has changed in the flight paths!? Anyone else notice the same?" "Air traffic noise has not been a problem here for the first of my eight years but since August 2007, I have noticed it as being a more or less continuous problem from about 6.00 am to 11.00 pm, which I find extremely unpleasant, so much so that I have begun to think about moving. It is my intention to complain to Heathrow and I suggest that anyone else who is concerned about this does too. This website address may assist you" "I agree with you. I work from home and it has changed noticeably in the last month or so." "I used to live on Chesterfield Grove and it was continuous, that area seems to be the junction point for planes coming in from the north, east and south and just about the point when they change their flap configuration and speed, which results in a lot more noise."

I find it hard to describe my feelings as soon as X Factor finishes. Like getting home to your wife after a liaison with a prostitute, perhaps? Something like that? I'm guessing, of course.

Jack/???? Worked a treat here. 'Net in the kitchen v reliable ever since and running at full speed. Got some very helpful words of wisdom on here about setting it up too: - Pair the powerlines first as per instructions that come with them - Turn everything off and connect everything together - Switch everything in the chain on one by one in reverse order 'from router out' (which as far as I understand, avoids IP address confusion or some such magic)

You've got electricity though - right?

Yes, we had this too 'Jack. Most evident when playing from Spotify to an AE set up wirelessly to extend the network - with the base station located a couple of brick walls away. Solved by connecting that AE to the base station using a powerline adaptor instead of wirelessly. ?15 well spent - rock solid since then.

That would be a shame if it happened. Wouldn't be the first family business to come a cropper on account of .. the family .. unfortunately. Is the estate agent thing actually real, or just a mobilising-call-to-arms rumour?

Some serious outbreaks of acne this week. Make-up department definitely had their work cut out.

BBC seem to have got their schedules mixed-up last night - and accidentally transmitted a Dimbleby 'doc' aimed at and narrated for children - in the post watershed slot. If anyone knows when the grown-up one is on, let me know?

Forget about the two million already - he stuck it to the Jerries, that's what counts.

Can we at least try and spell his name correctly - amongst all the great respect and whatknot?

On foxes.. Well I expect someone expects me to say that I think they should all be lined-up, have their faces sandpapered off one by one - and then skewered to death up their bums with a barbed pole. But I won't say that. Because I like the little critters. YES, I LIKE FOXES.

You're right AM. I will go and stand at the back on the room and weep silently in utter disgrace.

A low-key offering - John Peel.

Sue - serious and sensible discussions about foxes ONLY on this thread please.

I hear a Titanic-style celtic whistle every time I see the name now.

PHWOOOAARRR!!!
