This is an interesting account http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/07/11/ap-interview-us-rescuer-details-high-risk-thai-cave-mission.html It's not clear to me how the boys were transported ,it does seem they were really out of it - ketamine ? - and that for at least some of the time were on special stretchers that were attached to some kind of overhead "zip" line .

I think in common with a lot of young men in Thailand ( particularly those whose parents have died as this person's had ) the young team coach had spent several years in a Buddhist monastery . He was used to meditating and helped his young charges to survive the 9/10 days in darkness to remain still and calm . I think regarding diseases they are concerned about those carried by rat droppings and bats .

Right ,I'm off to Ilona's !

Well due to a poster's reference to 4 for ?2 I am now mainlining Magnums . Dark with raspberry is top choice .Though not 4 for ?2. Looking in your direction RPC .

Aren't architects supposed to consider such outcomes while working out the design ? Or don't architects figure in side returns ? edited to say sorry ,not v helpful with regard to the question

What an upsetting thing to witness ,horrible for you . I hope none of the shot hit the fox . I don't know what to suggest - maybe the non urgent police line 101 . Obviously they can't do anything now but I imagine they would want to log details of someone taking pot shots from a car . Hope you can get some sleep after this .

Fair enough ,thought this section was East Dulwich specific .

That's a clear and helpful post Carrie . On a pedantic point ,shouldn't this thread be in the Lounge ?

Dulwich Fox Thanks . Can only see overlap panels sold singly at B&Q ,but that's on line and might differ in store ?

Doh - Whitten timber ,of course .I think the anti histamines may have disabled my few remaining brain cells . Thanks flocker .

I see Wickes do sell single panels but ?+++ cf to Selco . I feel I'm missing something here .Or perhaps I've moved into that advanced phase of life where everything requires a sharp intake of breath and a " How much ! "

malumbu ,I got some on line in the end . Agree with your comment about Shannons ,odd attitude .

Only one and a half needed ,but most outlets seem to sell in packs . Selco looks good but to save me phoning them ,can anyone tell me if they only sell to "trade" ? Looking for close boarded . Very grateful for anyone's input .

Thank you all for tips on bark and hayfever ! I ordered bark chippings on line in the end ,delivered in large cardboard box . re hayfever ,apparently vit c is a natural anti histamine . Difflam is very good ,but expensive ,it's " a locally acting analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment for the relief of painful inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat "

Thanks beansprout . And for tea bag tip ,think I've read about using tea bags for something else - sun burn ?

My eyes are too affected by high pollen count to google much . I want small chippings - cheapest ,best ? B&Q ? Lidls ??? Will be driven .

This forum is good for queries https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11659&sid=8d421b463d27f5b7a1564e7f3cb29f85 .I don't know if they would recommend a suitable lawyer but I'm sure they'd point you in the right direction . The Property MC sound rather like bullies to me . I assume if you're a shareholder that there's a Residential Management Company .You could look them up on Company House and see what the asccounts are like ,be good to know if there's money at hand to do work .

A lot of people can't afford flashy cars, any holiday at all. So they can't choose to forgo them and spend the money on private education .

Such incisive comments .The EDF is such a joy these days .

ah ,I see what you did there Renata ......the root of the problem indeed .

Less of the balderdash ,Inbound . THe Highway Code has this to say about parking Parking (rules 239 to 247) Rule 239 Use off-street parking areas, or bays marked out with white lines on the road as parking places, wherever possible. If you have to stop on the roadside: do not park facing against the traffic flow stop as close as you can to the side do not stop too close to a vehicle displaying a Blue Badge: remember, the occupant may need more room to get in or out you MUST switch off the engine, headlights and fog lights you MUST apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle you MUST ensure you do not hit anyone when you open your door. Check for cyclists or other traffic it is safer for your passengers (especially children) to get out of the vehicle on the side next to the kerb put all valuables out of sight and make sure your vehicle is secure lock your vehicle. It used to be a practice to leave a car in reverse gear when parked on a hill in the belief that this would counteract movement if the handbrake failed .I've no idea if this would work in practice ,but might be worth a go .

I was speaking to one of the gardeners heroically battling the weeds in the Sexby Garden . He told me that they now have only 5 gardeners .Down from 30 or 40 ,I'm unable to remember which .And I don't know over what period the decline has taken place .

For my benefit as an aged person, what does "I used to peg it down this road - far too sketchy." mean ? And for the benefit of others suffering from the noise and pollution on Barry Rd I continue to put in reports to Thames Water re noisy and broken manholes that resound with every passing vehicle .
