Good question. I too have a 9 yr old who would want this game. It's fairly violent I think, but rated at age 12 - so you would assume, less so than Tour of Duty, GTA etc - probably more along the lines PG12 rated films such as some of the Star Wars films which I have let my boy watch. The issue for me is more that it's multi-player with randoms on-line. I think it's anonymised but for me that's still a step too far into the badlands of the web for a 9year old.

Sounds like you did all the right things. The reason I asked the question is, would the police not automatically contact the school? dulwichbloke Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, of course I did.

A brutal fight in the street should be reported immediately to the police - 999. Did you do that?

Lee - football season is over for a while now, you may be relieved to hear. And you may have noticed there was an election recently. You had your chance to vote for someone else, or to stand as an independent if you didn't like any of the available options. It strikes me that the electorate made its view on the current council (against other options) very clear. For example, the Labour candidates for Peckham Rye ward polled three times more votes than their nearest rival (Green).

Louisa - I am going to this and I sadly don't meet any of the criteria you outlined. I don't know about the other attendees yet, you might somehow have greater insight or knowledge of this?? And the early bird residents tickets were #15 so hardly out-pricing locals.

Great stuff!! Why was this shot in LL Londis?? Kid Cudi is American and the original version of this song has a video shot in the US. This video is just for the Crookers remix, but Crookers is Italian - also I don't think the guy in this version is even Kid Cudi is he??

Louisa, I don't think it's a class thing, it's a profitability thing. If you have a business that appeals to customers who don't sit within the middle-class/gentrification/newcomer set, but remains profitable, they stay open. This isn't meant as a snide value-judgement, but I don't see the bookies or chicken shops on LL closing down... and if I glance through the windows of those outlets, I don't notice them full of yummy mummy types blocking off access to the FOBs with their over-sized buggies.

yeah maybe....

Maybe, There are similar, larger events at Clapham Common which is unfenced and Victoria Park, fenced so it can't make too much difference...

Lee, I wouldn't be surprised that the workmen were surly if you addressed them in the same supercilious tone you wrote this post in.

Interesting post and had a similar(ish) experience a couple of years ago. I had been toying with the idea of buying one and to my discredit, hadn't given much consideration to the fur-lined hood. I was in Liberty and asked an assistant if they stocked that brand, to be told that Liberty did not stock fur products for ethical reasons. I did some quick research including PETA and the CG website, and bought something similar with fake fur. With regards to the question of is it okay to buy and wear non-fur CG items, that's a moot point if you consider that there are other major fashion brands who also use fur; Fendi produce a lot fur products and are owned by LVMH, so if you're against fur, would you also restrict yourself from any LVMH product - that's quite a long list. Burberry also have quite a range of fur products.

I support this and do currently own a car that would be liable for the charge. The reality is that in our area this change will not function as a tax on the poor, or anyone else, but as a de facto ban on the more polluting diesel vehicles. To use your car twice a week would cost ?1,300 pa so surely most people will accept they need to switch their car over rather than to pay the tax. The argument that this will disproportionately affect the poor is weak at best. It is true that this will be be a big change and much of the cost will be borne by those who currently own these cars, having bought them in good faith. Some of those will be less well off, but let's say you're on a modest income and you bought a car last week blithely unaware that diesels are now seen as unacceptably polluting - how much would this person have spent on this car? If it was ?20K I would suggest they might not be that poor after all. So maybe ?5k - that's still a fair amount of money though... depreciation means that the car would halve in value typically over three years, and let's assume that it halves again because of the ULEV - that's a loss of ?1,250 with three years to plan around it... are those figures about right? I'm not making light of a loss of around ?1,250 for someone on a low income, but that seems like it would be towards the far end of worst-case-scenario. And I would argue that there would be a scaling where typically, as the value of the car and therefore the loss increases, so would the income/wealth status of the individual affected. I've cobbled this together on the hoof and and it's not supported by source date, but I hope the general point makes sense. So the current situation can't continue. There's a price to pay for that. I think the price is worth paying.

HMD played at their event in Brockwell Park earlier this year. I don't they, or anyone else is confirmed for 2018. They have also previously had Norman jay and Nicky Siano.

I agree that the most important issue is the shocking assault on the OP's mum and like Rendel I don't think any malice or racism was intended. But as the choice of words has come under the spotlight, I think it has to be said that it's not the best choice of phrasing. Skin colour can be used perfectly reasonably as an identifier in all sorts of situations, but the use of it in a negative headline which doesn't appear to be in the context of identifying the perpetrator isn't great. I hope they catch the one that did this and wish the OP's mum a speedy recovery.

Banning seems a bit extreme but I share your disgust at the amount of dogs' mess on the pavements

I can echo the positive comments on Bessemer. We have two there and are very happy. In my opinion, distance is not THE most important thing, not by a long stretch. But if you live in Heber Road, that's a fair old trek there and back twice a day. And with a school with a good reputation on your doorstep... Also would you get Bessemer from Heber Road? The catchment radius has retraced steadily over recent years I think.

Slow day is it Bob?

No excuse for that kind > of behaviour. When you say 'them' in that sort of context, it creates an impression that you see cyclists as one big indistinguishable group, all sharing the same negative characteristics that you experienced earlier today. It's not a great road to go down...

I used to live near LL and now live close by to PR. Commute for me (City) is easier from where I live now. I mainly cycle but am talking about the days when I commute by public transport. Overground to Shoreditch and British Rail to Elephant, Blackfriars or Victoria means plenty of options. BTW, unless you are north of East Dulwich Road, Peckham Rye is more than ten mins walk away. But, the buses are very frequent so can be at the station in around that time. I miss living near all the shops etc, but I think I'd miss the proximity to the park if we switched back. I think it's probably a bit quieter near the park, but guess that changes road by road.

Oh dear - that is truly awful and worthy of a thread in it's own right!! I am flabbergasted. "My mum was born and bred in Gants Hill, and I?ve lived in Hackney for the last 10 years" is she for real??
