Goose Green Play Park - slippy matting
Robert Poste's Child replied to klh's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Would it be worth adding this to the Goose Green councillor thread? (If James Barber was still in office he'd have picked it up already I should think - come back James...) -
Was there another one today by any chance?
-
I woke up this morning (sounds like the start of 'powercut blues') to find the time clock on the boiler was about 20 mins late. A powercut would explain it.

Timpson's is one of this country's best companies. Long may they continue.

The Florence isn't exactly intimate (hints of scaffolding) and the prices are silly - two glasses of white, ?18.20 recently. For a more informal, cosy kind of intimate, a corner in Cafe Prov or perhaps the garden room at the Picturehouse.
-
With more bus routes being reduced, it's usually quicker to get whatever comes first and change a couple of times. Have you tried bus to FHill, overground to Canada Water, Jubilee to Green Park? Could do the same via PRye or DHill, but at rush hour buses are probably faster in the other direction.

bike thieving in the area
Robert Poste's Child replied to Nicola326's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
How annoying for you. Weirdly, the bike that my neighbour forgot to take with him when he moved six months ago is still standing behind our flats gathering cobwebs, getting in the way when we take the bins out. -
Anyone switched to Bulb recently?
Robert Poste's Child replied to Robert Poste's Child's topic in The Lounge
Thanks, jimmah. Someone else PM'd me their code already but that's very helpful. The customer service rating is very tempting, I have to admit. -
Would be grateful for user experience - did the bills reflect the initial quote and were there any problems with the monthly direct debit? If you have a referral code too, happy to use it so you get something back too.

Dulwich Village Junction

I agree, that it > might be safer to head down Carlton Ave instead of > Court Lane now. Thank you again! One of the views is out of date. Until the start of this year Calton Ave gave way to traffic from Court Lane. Now it's the other way round, with the yellow box to stop the junction getting gridlocked (like it was earlier this year before they got round to adding it). -
Including me!

That would be great. Thanks.

How unpleasant.

Your posts don't come across as jokey or humorous. It just sounds like you're putting people down most of the time.

Bike Stolen, East Dulwich Station
Robert Poste's Child replied to sherwoodcourt's topic in Lost, Found or Stolen
I think that's a fair point; it's more that having a better lock takes longer to break through and therefore might deter the opportunist type. I've had the same bike for about seven years now and often leave it at stations, but to be fair it's not pretty (I treasure the memory of the moped mugger a few weeks ago shouting about my '$hit bike'). I had one stolen from the back garden on a dark evening but no locks broken since 20 years ago when a basic but heavy chain was cut. D-locks seem to work best, especially if you get the lock end on the inside of the bike stand so it's harder to lever. -

My other favourite is to do a basic white bread, replace the butter with s slightly excessive amount of olive oil and maybe add some crushed rosemary and sprinkle sea salt on top. Bit like Foccaccia but you can slice and lightly toast it.
-
I used to have a Panasonic one which was very good and was recommended to me by a cook friend. Straightforward to use and clean. Only drawback was if you set it up on timer the night before to make bread for breakfast the noise of the paddle woke you up too early. My best recipe is granary flour, but replace one ounce with rye to give it more density, and add a tablespoon of honey.

Clip clippity clop, Sue. I love Dutch people. One of my favourite nationalities. Hup Holland!

I had a > check up, clean & polish and a filling for ?60. Seconded. I went there just over a year ago after a recommendation on the forum and it's all good (once you get past the receptionists who can be a bit chilly in my experience). Once he did a clean while the anaesthetic was taking effect.

Subsidence due to dry summer.
Robert Poste's Child replied to Albert Fegg's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Not sure if this might be related but cycling up CPR there's a bowl-shaped dip in the road shortly before Jennings Rd. As I cycled home in the dark tonight it was even more noticeable and I wondered if it might be subsidence or a potential sink hole. -

It's one of the reason why people in less stable parts of the world want to join us. Reductive comments like yours just polarise any attempt at an inclusive debate.
