It's the bleeding pathetic fallacies that rattle me. :(

Lady M, I think this login Message of The Day fortune cookie is just for you. Treasure it. "Your lucky number is 3552664958674928. Watch for it everywhere."

It was happening outside the station.

> Oh, and the domain name "sunonsunday" was registered two days ago. Ahem. That's the .co.uk one, registered to 'mediaspring', who claims to be a non-trading individual. The .com one was actually assigned some years ago. I'm pretty sure Nominet's rules allow for the challenge of any registered .co.uk domain name which clearly appertains to a going concern rather than to the registrant. So any price offered for it probably boils down to a question of how time-critical it is.

I've just passed by. Three officers were holding a dog pinned down on the pavement.

Nowhere. See also http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,642366,642366 re latest collection times.

M$ software licences are I believe, in EU law, transferrable between machines. How practicable that is probably depends on your ability to access and use the source and installation files. The availability of these would be, for me at least, an absolutely necessary condition before I bought any packaged system with pre-installed software. (I've so far survived without ever doing so.)

AlexK> If PUBLISH THEIR SALARIES is a plank in your platform when you DO stand for election as a hospital / trust governor I shall surely vote for you. Be ready to face litigation (DPA or FoI) if you take that route as a governor. If you want to challenge policy or practice, the safer route, short of rewriting the acts, would imo be to make FoI requests for such information and appeal against any refusals. And I've not checked, but I'd be surprised if there weren't already a fair number of substantive decisions on the topic already, at least at ICO or tribunal level: "Example: The Commissioner found that the exact salaries of specialist registrars employed by University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust should not be disclosed. He found that as ?employees who interact with the public? they ?should expect some personal data about them to be released? but that they should expect less scrutiny than senior executives who are ?responsible for policy decisions affecting the public and the expenditure of public funds?. (ICO decision notice FS50092819, February 2007)" [from http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/freedom_of_information/practical_application/salaries_v1.pdf]

> Anyhow, so the question is for this thread is, who has what. Why did you choose that? For Office I use Office 97, mainly for Excel with scripting, and occasional use of Word for letters. I think it was passed on to me by a relative when they replaced it with whatever was the next version.

> Microsoft Office but willing to learn others long as all my current documents in Word and Excel can be opened read and worked on still. Are you not able to transfer your version and licence from your present machine to any new one, or are you set on buying a new version or upgrade?

A question ... What do you mean by 'dying'?

chick> Anyone remember the Peanut sandwich board man in Oxford St?? Protein leads to passion?? "Less protein for less passion," I think, if it's the same one. I sometimes used to ride past him on his bike, heading west on the A40 toward the Shepherds Bush roundabout, some evenings in 1976 or 77. He still had his board on display, I think perhaps still on his back. What's the peanut connection, btw? I thought they were packed with protein.

Having looked at a similar thread from earlier this year ( http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,612201,657073 ) and checked dates where available, I'm not sure that day of the week is a good predictor.

In his Penguin Indian Cookery (1970), Dharamjit Singh does include red and green chilli peppers, fresh and dried, in his roundup of spices. And they do occur, pretty selectively, in individual recipes.

Here's one from my window.

Just noticed this separate entry for Sunday on the Southern site: "Engineering work starting on 03/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon. Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 03/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between Peckham Rye and Streatham via Tulse Hill between Streatham and Peckham Rye via Tulse Hill"

... according to Southern Rail's http://www.journeycheck.com/southern: "Engineering work starting on 02/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction. Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 02/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between Peckham Rye and Streatham Common via Tulse Hill between Streatham Common and Peckham Rye via Tulse Hill Train services will run as shuttles between London Bridge and Peckham Rye -in both directions- and between Crystal Palace and Beckenham Junction -in both directions-. Further Information is available from National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50." This seems to be planned for both Saturday and Sunday, judging from the National Rail journey planner. [Edited 14/8/11, following Jeremy's post, to remove the 2/3 July date from the title, and to note that the current JourneyCheck doesn't seem to have any mention of today's closure. Could that be because the work and closure started yesterday and the notification of the start has now fallen off the listing!?]

Another alternative to using wireless or ring mains for your LAN would be to use ethernet cables throughout. The traditional solution.
