The only question could be are we (the forum) holding some groups to a higher standard though - or maybe we should. (Did we have a thread discussing 'the whistlers' antics before he was banned from Southwark - maybe we did and I've forgotten :) )

It's obviously inappropriate, no-ones happy about losing their temper but it happens. The insults were horrible but obviously not really meant IMHO - I'd call it trash talk. My advice would be apologise profusely and say you're under a lot of stress NOT double down.

Maybe the building could share one :) Like many blocks the building management have bait stations in shared areas and garage (which could mean the mice dying in the walls I guess)

Is it this ? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parks-and-open-spaces/public-space-protection-orders-pspos-regulations ?100 on the spot fine.

I'll get rid of the mouse infestation in our building one day - Two caught last night and I've only got 2 traps set at the moment. Tempted to tie them up by their tails as a sort of serial mouse killer trophy rather than double bag and dispose.

The new commander of Southwark/Lambeth police says violent crime has been reduced by 30% since January. https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/violent-crime-reduced-30-since-january-says-commander-of-newly-merged-southwark-and-lambeth-police/

Surely Bees not Wasps - Bees don't usually sting unless provoked. https://news.sky.com/video/man-drives-with-swarm-of-bees-in-car-11360451 This guy didn't get stung once :)

These are just men who are maybe acting suspiciously (or maybe totally innocent). The guys who murdered that man for his Rolex in Greenwich are types I'm scared of (and I'm not scared of much - not that I'm brave)

Maybe Owen Jones got in first on the Guardians PMQs feed :) "PMQs - Snap verdict: Even supporters of the Conservative government would be hard pressed to argue that Theresa May is making a success of Brexit, and today Jeremy Corbyn hammered home the argument that she is mucking things up with admirable efficiency. May seemed particularly uncomfortable and discombobulated by the experience, and her replies were more evasive than usual. She got in an irrelevant but telling jibe about Corbyn?s stance on TTIP, and a neat and half-fair soundbite about his stance on the customs union, but overall she was very much on the defensive and shorn of authority. For Corbyn, it was a clear win - and probably his best on the topic of Brexit (which is not always an easy one for him.) Two factors seemed to help. Corbyn often starts with a good, pithy questions, but then gets bogged down in prolixity. Today all his questions were relatively short and precise (or, at least, they seemed so), and they were more effective as a result. And Corbyn also toned down some of the emotive, partisan rhetoric he tends to favour. Whether this was intentional or whether it was because the EU simply doesn?t stir his emotions much wasn?t clear. But the almost understated tone made his questions all the more compelling. When the facts on their own are so damning, stirring adjectives become superfluous."

Well Done DH

Says it all really - I'm mainly Labour but ward changes can take away all your good work in one fell sweep :( But when life deals you Lemons ... Anyway Good Luck James.

Oh - and she can't use the Parliament Act until the start of the next parliament, which would usually be a year but the government made this a 2 year parliament to bypass another Queens speech - so that's rebounded on them. Each Lords amendment will have to be voted on in the Commons (or accepted) and then it'll go back to the lords again - Tick Tock.

weren't they supposed to be giving him priority housing and some other support - hope at least that was done. Other than that people do get drunk and you can't do much about that

Well my original plan was cause chaos, get rid of May and avert catastrophe by the skin of our teeth as public opinion changed. There's a vote on the single market in the Lords today - with the Labour front bench abstaining. Might still pass - but I don't want us to be in the single market and customs union - I want us to be back in and leading the EU.

I used Maple Syrup the other day for one that I couldn't catch with peanut butter - I saw the mouse licking it's whiskers after licking it up before getting caught when it came back for more later.

Think of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas - get involved.... more like run a mile. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/dylan-was-my-mothers-ruin-1188627.html

Anyway go high when they go low as the Michelle Obama said :)

Not this one (the nightwatcher surely) - he sounds really scary https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-probe-link-between-night-watcher-burglar-and-prolific-thief-the-wimbledon-prowler-a3753881.html

Ironically the person most likely to leave IMHO is Farage.

I absolutely detested the way my last vote for Labour was used by Theresa May as an endorsement of Brexit - disgusting.

Many will report anonymously which is what I'd do to be honest.
