I don't know what effect these relentlessly marching Reds have on their enemies, but, by God, they frighten me. -
> My eldest brother joined the Camberwell "Pal's Battalion" it was in Floden Road Camberwell. Did he survive it, cs? > Very coincidental that Alan now lives a few houses from where his Gt.Grand father stayed in Crayford. Wasn't it used to live, rather than lives now? That's what the BBC summary thinks too. The thing I was left wondering was how the dual names were handled on the part of his ggf's (Henry Carter's) family. His children's births were registered as Carters. Alan Carr's mother, the daughter of Henry's son Cyril, was married as a Carter. Yet Henry in 1916 was on the electoral register as Richard Mercer [not, I think, Edward, as in the BBC summary], and his wife joined him there as a Mercer in 1928, once she had suffrage. Were his family otherwise always using the Carter surname? If so, perhaps he retained just the fictional forename, Richard, rather than the original Henry, thinking that would be enough to evade detection, if he ever came to police attention in some other context. But then the surname disparity with the electoral register would presumably have been an ongoing risk.

My all-time favourite is the Sands Films Studio in Rotherhihe.http://www.londonopenhouse.org/public/london/find/detail.asp?loh_id=1810 A pre-Victorian granary, converted to provide a picture library, studio, and large costume repository and workshop. You get shown round it all. For a flavour see their own website here or this article. As the latter says: "something that I think is truly magical, truly worthwhile and truly brilliant." They're currently looking for investors too, to help them preserve the studio in the face of galloping rent rises. Details on-site.

> Each email seems to be asking for some of the same infomation like the URL - which i have now given 5 times along with a new request each day without > the sense we are any further forward now been asked to do a sceen shot - dont know how to do it tried suggestions on google without success. As binary_star says: it may actually be that it is difficult to locate in a dynamically changing page - just as when Google returns the first page of some board or similar as a hit, but the actual article isn't on the top page. If you don't have anyone nearer to you to ask, if you feel like PM'ing me the URL and some of the target content you're talking about, and the approximate date of posting, I'd be happy to have a look to see if the location can be better specified, and could certainly do a screen shot for you if I find it - all in confidence, of course. -

Have you checked your system clock?
-
John, indeed. Assuming it's still in force, which I'd think very likely. I did notice that the matching provision in the 1982 Act you cited was more lenient. But on checking, that whole schedule is simply a template which district councils are empowered (by s.3) to adopt if they wish. Anyone want to devise a realistic scheme wherein the students became bona fide employees while still profiting from the sale of their own work?

> No form or racism or xenophobia is ever acceptable, irregardless of who is perpetuating it. Cf "No form of ignorant mangling of the language is ever acceptable, regardless of who is perpetuating it."? :) My serious point is to question the meaning, function and usefulness of this binary acceptable/unacceptable distinction. May sometimes a bland smile, a shake of the head, or an ignoring, leave the world and its future in no worse a state than would an authoritarian response? -
It was reading William James that led to it, m'lud.

Trawling through the Met Office regions, here we can currently expect 40mph gusts tomorrow. The highest I've seen predicted is 64mph, in the NW and Scotland, with 45-50mph in many diverse locations, including Canterbury and Brighton. -

Just discoverd the Stormpulse forecasts, in a Discussion section: http://www.stormpulse.com/message/201112/30/50 "72H 13/1200Z 61.0N 1.0W 50 KT 60 MPH...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP" 72 Hours from when? Well, the INIT time report shows the 47.7W data, as for the above Advisory 50 of 9pm yesterday. . They say that's the last forecast they'll issue. They don't issue any for systems east of zero degrees longitude, and recommend the Met Office. Lerwick is 60.2N. -

> here you can view the storm live on radar http://www.stormpulse.com/ I can't see any estimated times, but I make it at 47.7 degrees West at 9pm BST Saturday (Advisory 50), and moving at approximately one degree of longitude an hour. For the London area the most the Met Office is currently predicting during the next three days is winds of 19mph, gusting to 38mph. -

Is there _any_ word for which you can't find a salacious, possibly spurious, entry in Urban Dictionary? Even Loz and Lozenge. Nul points and own goal.
