An email to postmaster@ their domain should in principle reach someone. If you enter a uk domain name in the Whois window at http://www.nominet.co.uk, you can get the address of the registrant (unless it's a private non-trading person who's said they don't want it revealed).

I'm still giving thanks for the absence of the prohibition on window envelopes. Having a window wallah in to remove the transparent bits was a very unwelcome expense. Please, no-one tell me it's still there. -

Aren't we going to end up with more bins (green or brown particularly) that are very lightly loaded, say quarter full or less? Has this been so in the food waste pilot scheme? If so, has there been any sharing of bins, to make the collection process a bit more efficient? -

The Southwark Consultation is here. I believe I've recently read that the deadline has been extended to 30 September. The forum's Honor Oak Rec threads are here.

former East Dulwich councillor - how can I help?
ianr replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
gg, the only reason I can see for your publicly posting even these moderately unspecific details at this stage is that you'd be happy with the issue being remedied without any official action. -
> Ian, you will find a copy of Southwark life (published by the council) on the website as a PDF and it is listed in that. TY. Copied here. [ed: extracted from the full Southwark Life autumn 2011 edition (PDF, 3 MByte) downloadable here]

> Went to Maplin and you wont belive it, i was told to put my dongle in a plastic bag so it dont get wet and put it on the roof > and run a usb cable from dongle to laptop,i know i`m Irish but... The maximum recommended length for a plain USB 2.0 cable is only 5 metres, so maybe not very sensible. But for within your shop, maybe not such a bad suggestion. You can get 5 metre repeater cables, at ?10ish a time, that you can link together up to about 25 metres, but that sounds awfully precarious to me.

Johann Hari - Hypocrite or Victim?
ianr replied to Marmora Man's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I suspect going through Wikipedia meta-records, for all their admirability on some counts, is a reserved occupation for the inhabitants of some of the outer circles of hell. But here's one telling snippet, his own words, from his Wikipedia 'User talk' page: "I'll tell you something else that's generally frowned on in wikipedia: inserting lies into entries, blatantly trying to impose your POV on entries of people you hate, imposing your own political bias, insulting real people as sockpuppets... I could go on, and you probably did know not to do it. The way you are disregarding the wiki rules and authorities is appalling." --- David r from meth productions 23:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC) There seem to me, incidentally, to have been some remarkable efforts by some of the Wikipedia editors/commentators to be fair-minded in the previous absence of absolutely compelling evidence. Even now there also seems to be split opinion as to which his more serious fault was, the plagiarism or the Wikipedia manipulations, and a willingness not to automatically downrate assessments of some of his journalism. -

> 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. -
