> I get full marks for happiness by proof reading my posts for typos before I submit them. I get nul points from having to read (incidentally, badly) copied/transcribed (incidentally, copyright) articles (such as this), presumably presented as discussion fodder. OK, un point - for its not being from the Daily Mail.

What is a 'representative' result? What would it be representative of?

The bylaw has never been changed. So if you do cycle in Peckham Rye don't think it's your right, it's not!" I can't imagine many courts convicting once given evidence of the existence of an official "Please cycle responsibly" sign in a relevant place. In any case, if you look at Southwark's "Byelaws for pleasure grounds, public walks and open spaces", approved 21 November 2008 and available here, there's no sign of any prohibition of cycling in Peckham Rye Park or Common.

> both their votes have been counted, in Round 1 and Round 2. I suppose one way of answering this would be to say that, in this example, everyone has had a vote counted in both rounds one and two; and that in all cases everyone is given the opportunity of having a vote counted in every round.

Try BT Find A Person (Rayment - London) at http://www.btexchanges.com/.

Sofie Gr?b?l was on Woman's Hour this morning. The audio interview's available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0100h4q . With Flash installed you can get to it directly as Chapter 1 at the bottom of the page. And series 3 starts shooting in August.

You can get a lot of useful information from your modem-router's log, particularly the line stats and reported error rates. There's guidance available on getting and understanding these, such as this on the Kitz site.

> IF somehow you've been trapped in a cultural bell jar. ... you'll probably be hoping for a small plastic version at the bottom of your breakfast cereal packet. If only Fayed had been able to hang on to Harrods. It's sad to think of their staff and clientele being deprived of it.

It's important to compare like with like. There are two distinct broadband types: via the phone line (ADSL) and via dedicated broadband cable (which may also include broadband phone or TV in the package). Cable is inherently a lot more capable than ADSL. My understanding is that in ED Virgin (virginmedia.com) are the only available cable provider. But Virgin also provide an ADSL service (using the BT phone line), for which they sometimes use the name Virgin National. Check here for more information on availability of providers and services. My experience of Virgin National ADSL http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,595742,622835 isn't much better than the OP's current experience of BT. So I wouldn't recommend jumping as a guaranteed quick and easy solution. Though I do believe the Virgin 0845 helpline is UK-based.

Here's a report of how Cambridge Police have been tackling the problem. Possibly less easily done in London. Does anyone know if there is any inter-division co-operation on targeting bike thefts, or any central Met unit that has any interest or responsibility?

> I would like to congratulate everyone on this thread,who has actually bought shoes that are good enough to take to a cobbler. > Those horrible plastic rubber trainers,are trash,and ruined many a foot,smelly as well. How much ergonomic and physiological nous can one count on going into the making of bespoke shoes? I find myslf comfortable only in some trekking sandals and trainers, even cheap ones, and a very limited range of shoes, their common factor being that none has a noticeably raised heel. Could a bespoke cobbler be counted on to provide absolutely optimal comfort and efficiency? I'm not thinking of going to one, btw, just seeking clarity. I'm also thinking of the analytic apparatus that I gather some sports shoe shops have.

Would you be having this trouble if he were a dog? Maybe try applying the same skills? Clear firm communication that you don't like or want particular behaviours? You said: "I should feel safe walking to work, but no. I have to run past this place before these men whistle at me or shout vulgar things at me!" What specifically have they shouted?

I might be wrong, but I can't imagine the police rushing into action (if at all) without a pretty good likelihood of its being your bike, and provably so. To satisfy the first point, I hope you were able to persuade them of the 'quite a unique model' bit, and that that's the one that's being advertised.

> BUT.... please would someone teach the surgeons how to pronounce 'dissect'. It's really pissing me off. And it should be so easy: bisect, bisection, dissect, dissection. Unless you dissent. But then, remember when cervical and umbilical retained their short vowels and couldn't conceivably be rhymed with maniacal?
