Agree 100% about the service in the EDD. Such a shame. RW have always been fine with me.
  2. In my day we used to fish around in bins for cast-off girlie magazines. Now kids have it all just a click away.
  3. brilliant. I remember seeing the photo of the refinery tower being towed on a piece by British Transport Films.
  4. Was the note written or printed? Many printers employ tracking dots which write a signature onto each page. Search for printer steganography. This would associate the author with the printer owner.
  5. People can and should be allowed to vote with their wallets. Some people disapprove of factory farming and avoid fast-food outlets which are known to use them. If you disagree with a company's policies, you have a choice. Also, "don't feed the trolls" -- they'll get bored eventually.
  6. 3/4 bedroom house wanted in SE22 / SE21 -- PM me
  7. chaveau they sound like targets used by surveyors and theodolites -- see this pic http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/aX8AAOxyUgtTO5Lz/$_12.JPG
  8. Some of these nests can be quite large. Do the pest control people recommended above actually remove the nest or state when it should be ok to remove?
  9. Which machine? The one on the corner or the one on the street?
  10. Hi, Did anyone see a man running away from Bellenden Road, just near the junction with Choumert Road about 0945, today 14th May? I saw some pretty cowardly behaviour when a skateboarder _on the road_ had an upset and caused a lady on a scooter some pretty nasty damage. Had there been another vehicle around, it could have been much worse. The guy in question was skateboarding fast down Bellenden, when he sort of "flipped" the skateboard which went flying under the wheels of the lady's scooter who was unlucky enough to be behind him. Fortunately she (the motorcyclist) wasn?t very seriously hurt, but was cut, bruised, and pretty shaken. Unfortunately, the bike however had been damaged, and when she suggested he was liable he said he would provide his name but he wouldn?t pay for the damage. When the motorcyclist got on the phone to the police he ran off. He was in his early 20s, white, reasonably well spoken, about 5?10, with a maroon sweatshirt, and a skateboard with fluorescent yellow top. Having seen this, I chatted to the lady and heard all of the above, and it turns out that she probably can't claim because she's only got third party insurance. Pretty bad that someone should wind up hurt and out of pocket because of some ones reckless arrogant stupidity, and cowardly behaviour to run off, and not just man up and offer to pay what he could. Anyway, be careful out there. :-/

  12. DulwichFox, I am in complete agreement with you. It is a telling measure of a society that can't cater to this fundamental thing. (It is also equally telling in how such facilities get vandalised, sadly.) I remember visiting Nyhavn in Copenhagen a few years ago and being flabbergasted with the fine ornamental porcelain, the like of which I don't think I've ever seen in public conveniences in this country. Copenhagen really is a fine city though. I was with some friends, just walking around and we saw a row of prams outside a building, and we wondered what it was. Turns out that if you're a mother in Denmark, you can leave your pram outside the restaurant while you are having sunday brunch without fear of it getting nicked.

  14. Sue, why do all your posts begin with a row of x's?

  16. glen, reuse is better than recycling!

  18. it could have been dumped by the slumlord, not the departing occupants
