  1. > Jimmy (Jimmeh) Clithoroe - 'Eeh 'eck I've only been an' gone an' took me Grandad's bloomin' foie gras Ee, but you sound just like him. Where is the room for Radio 7 DPs, btw. It's very topical really. Only t'other week they had a man live from Crystal Pallie saying it were burning down.
  2. Miss Lee says it sweeter.
  3. And when I was twelve years old, sopmeone showed me the interweb, and told me of all the wonderful mailing lists, and bulletin boards, each with its butterfly panoply of threads, a stream of posts in each one. And so I looked. And as I sat there watching the marvellous spectacle I had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was over, I said to myself, "Is that all there is? Is that all there is...?"
  4. Moiseiwitsch man. Where are you at?
  5. > I've finished the double decker and taken a sleeping tablet. That sounds like a mistake. Perhaps you ought to have been taking bennies.
  6. I take it you're not listening to Albert Ayler, but can you be any more specific about the jazz music whereof you speak?
  7. s.9, Contempt of Court Act 1981
  8. Paging Sydney Smith... Paging Sydney Smith...
  9. > The cynic in me might suspect someone of pasta based embezzlement fearing exposure Oh no, not another case of penne pinching?
  10. Ironically, perhaps, the 369 LL post office branch is listed as providing a Fast Drop counter service, though there is a 'latest drop off time' for these. And it does provide evidence of posting. It's the signed-for-on-delivery stuff that seems the problem. It's hard work mining and refining seams of the PO and RM websites to see if there are quick posting routes for these. From "You can use your Franking Machine to send Recorded Signed For? items." (found here) you might think that was a possibility, though I'm now much inclined to think it isn't. Conceivably too, the Fast Drop service sounds as if it might be able to accommodate it, though I suspect it doesn't. Might be worth a quick check with PO or RM customer services though. At the same time you could also ask the PO CS about the fixed last-posting time for the signed-for stuff. I've not seen any mention on the websites about that, though presumably the branch want to be sure that all those items are in time for collection that day.
  11. Could be Nice. A good choice for dunking.

  13. I've just spent an edifying ten minutes sending myself mainly blank messages. My guess is that yours started and ended with angle brackets, which fooled the parser into thinking that they were an HTML command. So, for example, (pate de foie gras cats) will appear blank in preview and on receipt, but still be sendable, if angle brackets are used instead of round ones. The system won't allow you to send a truly blank message.

    On further checking I see that EDF pages contain a 'noarchive' request and that Google honours these. This means that, even if Google do cache a page, they won't make that copy available in the search results. The fact that Google search hits on EDF pages seem not to contain a 'Cached' link goes to confirm that. (Further explanation here.) So I was wrong in the post above to say I'd seen a Google cached page. Search terms I used, though no longer in the EDF version, do still produce Google hits on the thread. But all that is available from the Google links is the current revised page 1 or, for hits that matched subsequent, now deleted, pages, EDF server's report that the message could not be found. [Added sentence follows:] What I saw in the hit report was a short excerpt (300 characters) from Google's private cache of a deleted page of the forum. MrCheeky, can you still get a Google EDF hit on your email address? I'm interested in how long they endure. If you do, I think you'll similarly find that the hit report is all you'll see. Savvy users, btw, tend to use a disposable email address (eg a gmail or yahoo one) in public places where it could be harvested or abused.

    Pace Huguenot's post, Google themselves say here, "The new cached version replaces any previous cached versions of the page." So they're going to have an old version of a changed page only until they next sample it. The Google cache of the EDF Family Discussions Kingsdale thread, for example, now matches the censored version.
  16. The BAA tracker site http://webtrak.bksv.com/lhr, which is timelagged for security reasons, is now showing the LHR arrivals and departures at 07:00 yesterday, with everything reassuringly landing from the west.
  17. And on the Eighth Day the talking continued. And there was no end to it, neither was it resolved.
  18. > can we stop this thread now? I don't object to hearing of the allegations, and at least one voice in rebuttal. I also think it's better, and in the public interest, that we should all at least have been made aware that there are apparently some serious underlying tensions and dissatisfactions at the school that probably aren't going to disappear spontaneously. But I'm also happy to leave the investigations in the hand of the investigators, and not to reach any great conclusions of my own in the meantime. I don't think the continuing ping-pong match of opinions here is going to be of much further use to us. Those opinions are going to be be irrelevant to the investigators, who'll presumably see their role as actually or akin to a quasi-judicial one, and they're unlikely to be of benefit to anyone else. So I guess enough has been said, and a period of schtumm does sound not a bad idea.
  19. > The residents of dulwich do not agree with booboo and booboo themself need to stay in peckham. > Do not try to lower our tone to your level with your nonsense it is not wanted or warranted Who needs a forum? ;-) But welcome anyway. If you're not already aware of it, you'll also find some some members already making desperate atttempts to pretend to exchange opinions on the topic at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,712491.
  20. > I think we can safely say the guy is insane. I wouldn't, on the evidence available to date. Are you using it in a colloquial sense rather than as moderately synonymous with psychotic? By the way, from the few photographs I've seen of him, a small sample and not all good quality, I've found myself thinking that his pupils seemed to be generally moderately dilated, even where light conditions seemed good. Am I misperceiving? It's a neutral, if maybe interesting, observation anyway, and not one from which I make any inference.
  21. Mrs Integrity, can I get just one point clear? The OP quotes the SLP as reporting allegations by 'anonymous persons'. I assume that the truth, and perhaps what they mean to say, is simply that the names are being withheld, and not that the complaints were made anonymously. Is that so?
  22. > Also, offering pole dancing exercise sessions for the ED Mums in the mornings would be good PR. The LL video shop had a boxload of new copies of the Spearmint Rhino Art of Exotic Dancing (in six chapters) in their closing-down sale. If you didn't get yourself a copy then, I have one available for hire.
  23. Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls.
  24. > I got a load of gobbledegook, so 0% accurate for me You need Office 2007 or later, or a very large compatibility pack for older versions of Office or Windows, or one of the programs mentioned here, in order to read it.
  25. This is from the current advice for potential UK blood donors. It doesn't look drastically prohibitive. "If you have had any body piercing including permanent and semi permanent makeup and tattooing, or acupuncture outside the NHS and not perfomed by a qualified Health Care Professional registered with a statutory body, please wait 4 months from your last piercing before donating. If your treatment was between 4 and 12 months ago, you must let us know as your donation will need an additional blood test."
