The Capitol, Forest hill. I know it's shit but you used to be able to get legless for a tenner when I was at 6th form. The Hobgoblin, again Forest hill. I still smoke but thats the only pub I'm glad they've banned lighting up in. The Punch and Judy, Covent garden.

My favourite E.D memory took place on Underhill road a few years back. Whilst drunkenly staggering back from a party I found a plastic banking bag with about ?2000 in it. Kept it!

Are you talking about linear or circular. You do know that your T.V is a particle accelerator as it smashes light. I don't really know where you're goimg with this and haven't got a clue what you're on about, do you?

Louisa are you on some kind of mind altering drug today? I hope you're being sarcastic in regard to those in a hurry or am I wrong in thinking I'd be welcome to break into your house tonight and lay a cable on your living room floor. Don't tempt me. Tony whats all this about giving him a 'finger'. I don't mean to be patronising but if you stick your finger up there you'll be in serious danger or ringing his back door bell. And making contact with an already excited mans prostate will mean you'll have a completely different mess on your hands, sorry front step.

Mexican Restaurant Can anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Mexican RestauRANT.

I admit it does sound funny but am I alone in the fact that if I caught someone taking a shit on my doorstep in broad daylight I would seriously loose my temper which would also register with me if I were about to do the same to someone else. And the fact he actually wiped his arse after being caught is unbelievable. Did he have the look that he was perhaps care in the community Ms Smalls, if he was some little burberry clad pikey I'd have given him slap.

If you like pizza you should also try the Question bar on Dartmouth road in Forest hill, well I like them anyway.

Although I doubt you'd get much if any feedback, has anybody thought of actually going to the source and asking at the shop what happened and why they were so extreme in the handling of the situation.

(hold with as much force as necessary if threatening behaviour is being exhibited, in this case who knows) Marmora man stated quite clearly the shoplifter was very passive once caught and was in no way behaving in a way that invited any form of violence.

I have been in a falling lift. In 2006 the company I was with (kELTBRAY) was carrying out the soft strip internal gut out of the former home office Queen Annes gate in Westmenster and during the early stages we were in a lift overloaded with large pipes being taken down to be cut up. On the 5th floor something failed and we fell. It's not a fluid journey because the safety grips kick in. You rapidly fall in stages i.e 5th you start falling then BANG you stop for about a second at the 4th and then so on until you get to the bottom, still very violent and scary especially as it happened in total darkness. That however is an extreme circumstance of a stupidly overloaded lift, at normal capacity if the cable were severed the safety system invented by Mr Otis will firmly lock the lift in place until such time as you can be rescued. I'm also scared of: Bank statements. Deep murky water. Impotence.

Does Somerfield franchise out it's chain as this seems the only realistic reason as to why the shop manager would want to send out such an aggresive message to those thinking about pinching his stock. To an extent I agree with Louisa that shoplifters should be made to feel unwelcome but I can only go so far as support man handling them out of the shop for all to see, not punch them in the face and throw them to the floor and then take them out the back. What astonishes me is why they made such a public issue of it especially in an area such as east Dulwich, not exactly the sort of place who's citizens would support a lynching compared to Conservatine constituencies in the home counties. I can only conclude that those carrying out the beating of the shoplifter who in this circumstance appear to be lacking security i.d, either badge or uniform must be shelf filling staff. Also, if willing to carry out such a task that is very different to the duties they are paid to carry out then they must be very simple minded as well. If you worked in that capacity and your manager asked you to beat up a shoplifter in front of the customers in broad daylight with the added risk of prosecution(not to mention they may be armed, even though restrained) through witness statements would you go through with it. Their actions speak for themselves, idiots.

Although shooting the bear may seem barbaric I can assure you it was the quickest and most humane means of ending such obvious misery and not some ruthless alternative to satisfy a blood lust, we were also hundreds of miles from the nearest town. I appreciate you may not have experience of life in the wild (not trying to sound macho but it was very remote) but what would you have done in my situation Madworld74, sat with the poor creature whilst waiting for the weekly helicopter to arrive with pain relieving medication.

'Get a grip wasn't' aimed at you. What puzzles me apart from the warning on traps is why you posted this event on this forum. You obviously knew that the death of a small creature that in story books is considered cute/crafty would invite replies of sympathy. So why did you post this event?

I fully appreciate that she has a caring nature but apart from warning us about the very obvious threat poison or mechanical traps pose to those other than their intended victims (vermin) why did she feel the need to tell us all about the whole incident other than fulfill some attention seeking praise along the lines of, 'wow you're so brave and kind hearted' and 'I feel so sorry for you, hope you're o.k'. What most of us would've done was put the whole episode behind us and get on with our lives which is exactly what I did after dispatching the unfortunate bear in Canada. I only mentioned it to serve as an example to others what to do after a distressing incident such as finding an animal close to death but it appears to have fallen on deaf ears. How is the volanteering going at the Fox project or have you not got round to it yet? If I step on an ant today do you want me to tell you how I tried to nurse it back to good health and the tears streaming down my face after I saw it stand on it's own feet and bravely walk back into the garden by itself. Get a grip.

I've been following this thread and it seems to get even more bizzare and agressive by each post. I sympathise that seeing an animal wether it be cute or ugly in severe physical pain can be very distressing, especially when you feel helpless in relieving the pain. I work as a civil engineer and last year I was working in the Yukon territory in the Canadian wilderness building an electricity substation. During the construction we'd be occasionally be visited by the local Grissly bears of the area as they found it very interesting. Usually firing a shotgun or pistol into the air would get rid of them but the younger ones were alot more persistent as they thought the large excavators were especially exciting as they could tease it without the machine reacting. One afternoon in the site cabin we got a call over the radio to come to the hole they were digging for the foundations. Once we were within about a hundred yards we knew what had happened, the bellowing was deafening. Two young cubs/adolecents had been playing un-noticed by a 16 ton excavator and were being pestered by the mother to stop, the 2 cubs were crushed and died instantly. The mother wasn't so lucky. On hearing the comotion behind him the operator turned the machine around which crushed the mothers lower body pinning her under the machine, her lower body and hind legs were literally smashed under the massive weight. How she survived the intitial impact of the machines tracks I'll never know. We contacted the local authorities who told us what to do. We removed the machine which revealed the horrific extent of her injuries, just mushed bones and flesh but she was still bellowing and screaming in pain and had to be relieved of it. I placed a sack over her and shot her twice in the head with a high powered rifle. It was a great relief knowing her pain had stopped but I didn't feel emotional about it and didn't rush off to tell everyone about it on the internet because as they say, 'it's just one of those things'.

The therapist went down well with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti and I've cloned his card so should get my money back as well as the rights to a book he was writing about someone.

I was unfortuanate enough to watch the original Elephant man as an infant which terrified me. The Japanese version of the 'The Grudge' called Ju On which freaked me out about a year ago. Battle Royale (1st one) was revolting but frightening as well which I saw about two years ago. The original Wicker Man with Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward, 'Oh God, Oh Jesus Christ'(we all know the scene)they should have incorperated that into Castaway 2000 if you ask me. When I was young (10) and when I was very stoned about 8 months ago. All of the Saw trilogy, 'I want to play a game'. Very violent and psychological. Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds'. Saw that when I was about 9 or 10. Predator 1 when I was about 8 on boxing day after my parents fell asleep from too much Brandy. Scary but I loved it. Incidentally, in my opinion if they wanted to make 'I'm a celeberaty, get me out of here' more appealling they should have had Predator on board as a celeberaty. I'd give a love spud to hear Ant n Dec's chirpy Geordie accent through Predators Infra-red vision accompanied by his demonic laugh followed by them being blasted with his Plasma cannon followed by the rest being skinned alive. I'll add more later.

Builders contracted to do maintanence/refurb work during the late 60's under the rides at Disney land Florida discovered a large complex of rooms and large warehouse's after knocking through a wall in a boiler room. On further inspection these rooms appearred to have alot of information regarding the launch stations of the USSR's 1st generation nuclear warheads aimed at the U.S.

Me and my mates spotted Craig David getting out of his Peugot behind the Odeon in Guildford in 2003 and took this golden opportunity to smear dogshit under the cars door handles. Even to this day I think it was the grown up thing to do but still regret not putting broken glass into the mix aswell.

Thanks Jah Lush you took the words right out of my mouth. A pub is for drinking beer and any other alcoholic drink, if you want value for money buy some Tropicana and sit in the garden or park drinking it.

The funniest experience I had at work was when I was younger working as a dispatch rider in the city. In our control room where alot of riders would hang out waiting for their next job we had alot of Oriental pirate dvd sellers coming in and hawking their trade. One day a young Asian couple who had started their own business came into the head office to set up an account for deliveries. While they were waiting in the reception one of the managers saw them and oblivious to their legitemate reason for being there asked them if they could sell him a copy of 'Star wars', we all wet ourselves laughing. The worst experience at work was in my present industry, the hazardous construction/demolition game. I was supervising the removal of a complex air conditiong system and getting the lads to sling the metal down the shoot after they'd cut it up. A large unit got stuck in the shoot and I rather foolishly stuck my head in to have a look and wilst I did this someone a few stories up chucked some more steel to dislodge it which it did but brought me within a second of having my head chopped clean off. I've gone into a sweat just typing this.

When you say it was cloned without the pin being compromised do you mean it was used on an internet transaction where the pin isn't required. My post was only aimed at those using an ATM. If you want safe internet transactions only use an account with a set amount in it with a no overdraft policy, thats how I do it and I've never had any dodgy attempts on my funds.
