I have a Nikon scanner of which 2 chips on the motherboard needs to be desoldered, taken out and replaced. I am wondering if anyone local may have experience with doing that kind of task before who can help me out ? Please pm me, I am happy to pay for the time. Thanks !

Gerry fixed our hot water boiler which started to make a very loud noise early this morning. He is quick to arrive, and, according to my mum who was in the house, an honest and nice man. My mum mistook $10 Hong Kong dollar for 10 pound and insisted Gerry to take the $10 coin despite Gerry politely declined but without success. So Gerry was 10 pound short when he left our house with my mum feeling very happy for his work. (Gerry.... rest assured that arrangement will be made to remedy the situation.) I highly recommend Gerry for your next plumbing job !

She hasn't even been charged and trialled in the UK court. If UK takes away her citizenship based on media reporting and popular sentiment and UK is really not different from dodgy states like China and Russia.

I live nearby ... I recall hearing some ladies shouting quite loudly every now and then.

It may be fair to the insurer to charge more premium for those who park their car in a riskier stretch, fairer in that they can discourage customers in this area from buying insurance from them and they can pay less claim. But it is not fair for the car owner whose lives on that stretch of the road and therefore park their car there and as a consequence have to suffer a bit more no-fault accident through no fault of his/her own. What would be fairer is to share this kind of risk amongst all policyholders. Penguin68 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- The logic even is sound.

Agree with what you say DulwichLonder. The pricing structure for general insurance products are very complicated because of the huge number of variables that are fed into the pricing model for each individual car. While it is generally true that the premium reflects the riskiness of the policyholder, this is at best an aspiration. The level of riskiness of one car versus another can only be an estimated based on a variety of sources that include the insurer's own data, industry data as well as subjective judgement and profit target. It is quite probable for the algorithm to spit out non-sensible results from a consumer perspective, as Dulwichlondoner suggests. I also agree that it is not fair for the non-faulty driver to cope with a premium increase because of a non-fault accident. These costs should be shared by all policyholders as bad luck is as likely to strike one car as another. And I also agree that the government has a role to play here since private vehicle insurance is compulsory. You may be lucky to get a cheaper premium from another insurer but you can't count on luck all the time.

The asbestos has gone now.

While walking my dog last Friday I noticed that a piece of asbestos was just standing against a wall near the intersection of Fellbrigg and Northcross Road. From the photo you can see that someone put on a sign that read "Dangers. Asbestos. Please do not touch." I have contacted the Southwark council a few days ago but I haven't heard anything from them. Does anyone know whether it has been removed ? I am quite surprised that asbestos material can be dumped just like that and exposed to the element. It is a highly dangerous material and there is no safety threshold for breathing in asbestos fibres that may be floating in the air.

I don't know a dog that won't chase cat.

Why not blame the post office for not letting dogs in the first place ? Don't start there. When dogs are on lead with owners they behave absolutely brilliantly. Extremely rarely the dogs will do a poo or piss while inside the premise, not anymore than staffs getting abused by "customers". > > How many threads have there been on dog escapes > tether outside shop, running scared, plesse help? > How many poor tethered dogs are attacked outside a > shop by nasty vicious pitbull/terrier type dogs on > or off lead with moronic owner in toe, proper pet > dog tied as if a sacrifice?

Again, Zelig, 1. If off-lead stray dogs attack a dog leashed outside the cafe, it is the fault of the OWNER of the off-lead dogs. 2. Dogs don't shit in food shops. 3. When dogs yelp it doesn't always mean that they are stressed. Most often they want attention, like kids. 4. You just have to teach kids to go on with their daily lives when they walk pass a dog leashed outside a cafe.

Some travellers with their caravans seem to have moved to the Harris Girls' end of the Peckham Common now. A large pile of rubbish is also there this morning.

Have you ever wished to capture the moment when your child runs towards you with the most beautiful smile in their face, or when you watch them playing in the park with siblings and friends ? Or perhaps just a few candid photos of your family members in the park ? I have a young daughter myself, and I am also a professional photographer who records faithfully these treasured memories of family outings, pre-wedding shoots and school events. Photographs that tell touching stories are often taken in the most familiar surrounding. We are lucky to have many beautiful parks and landscapes in our areas. And don't forget your home too ! If you are interested in my service, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. My price is reasonable, and there will be no fee if you are not happy with the end product for any reason. I look forward to hearing from you !

Hi there, I am looking for a badminton coach training for intermediate to advance level. Please drop me a line if this is something you can offer. Thanks !

La Gaditana on north cross road (the Spanish Tapas cafe) makes really good coffee and I think their food is good too !

Neither can I ..

Yes when I say soup I am thinking more of the thick wholesome type, less of the liquish type.

How about fish soup ?

35 pound a bowl does not correctly reflect the character of soup. The price should be accessible for most people who don't want to cook lunch and simply want a healthy and filling meal against the cold wind and rain.

Guys thanks for the humorously negative comments. On a more positive note the sign is not totally dark. The response rate for this thread is high relative to the average in the Lounge. Controversy may be thought of as the prelude to great thing. Let me explain a bit. I gather that the word soup is not very fashionable. And perhaps it alludes to the historical phenonmenon of soup kitchen. However, soup is not a bad thing either. A hot broth with chopped vegetable and diced meat flowig down the stomach, accompanied by good quality bread at lunch time can be nutritious, tasty, convrnient and cost effective for sustenance until dinner time. There are many varieties to suit people of different tastes, lifestyle and energy requirement. Soup can also be seasonal. The Spanish has been making cold tomato soup for centuries. But, interest in hearing your views !

Hiya, what do everyone think about having a cafe that specialise in soup for winter and salad for summer ?

" I think all dogs in cities should be DNA-recorded and the we'd soon see a massive decline in dog fouling as samples from streets are matched against the deliquent dogs. Big fines. Big difference." It is always easier to target the others. Why not the police start collecting human fingerprints and then run the database against those found on the rubbish that are left on streets ?

The Maths seems to suggest this was the case, as 25% of the total excluding kids meal is 4.35 pound. But this does not explain why 25% discount did not apply. The Picturehouse member benefit clearly states "25% off your total bill at Gourmet Burger Kitchen (up to four people, excludes Bluewater)" without any mentioning of condition. Neither does the GBK menu contains any suggestion that the Kids meal has already been discounted. The price of 6.95 pound is in fact a regular price. I did email the query with the invoice to Picturehouse, but they have no explanation for it other than noting that 25% discount off the total food bill should apply. https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/East_Dulwich_Picturehouse/buy-membership http://www.gbk.co.uk/menu

Recently I went to the GBK Burger with my wife and my daughter. We expect to get 25% discount off the total food bill from our East Dulwich Picturehouse membership based on what was advertised as member benefit. However, we were only given a discount of 18% and the manager said to us that it was the right discount as it was what came out from the discount button on his till. I enquired with the Picturehouse and they confirmed to me that the 25% discount should stand, and had no explanation of why this did not happen with GBK East Dulwich. I have emailed GBK since last week but have not received a reply yet. Just wondering if anyone has any similar experience recently ?
