  1. Presumably there is a Clarkes coach somewhere with a scrape with some of your car paint on it. Where on the coach would it be likely to be, and what colour?
  2. Whereabouts do you two live?
  3. Another sitrep request on Private Eye deliveries in SE22 please. Mine, due yesterday, again hasn't yet arrived. Thankfully the crossword is online, so I can at least be getting on with that.
  4. Bon voyage. Soave sia il vento.
  5. Previously on EDF ... /forum/read.php?5,1728148
  6. ie www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2001/mar/18/6 No idea what it's about.
  7. > Have you tried the Dulwich Constitutional club, > I believe their drinks are reasonable. I've been in there for the occasional public meeting but they still remain a bit of a mystery to me. They say they're a private members' club, and offer little sign of publicising or inviting membership. http://www.dcclublondon.co.uk/ Their premises licence permits supply of drinks to members (of 'a club'). http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=842978 A local forum provided a little more information: /forum/read.php?5,52432,52900, /forum/read.php?30,876431.
  8. I've just looked at the Amazon parcel pickup locations for SE22 and environ. There are quite a few. I've used the Peckham Argos for Ebay click & collect. I don't know if this available in the Sainsburys Argos counter as well?
  9. > Broke the lock on Sat sometime between 11/2. Day or night time?

  11. Is this a continuation of your previous thread, /forum/read.php?5,2012752?

Also, you can > also play with Bit Torrent (BTT) The link says "X offers a relatively low House Edge of 1%. This makes it a bit easier for players to make money." Which means that in the long run on average you will lose 1% of each stake. Probably less than on a fixed-odds machine in a bookies, but still enough to enable the machine provider to be the one who profits in the long run. Then add in the currency risk. Cryptocurrencies aren't the most stable. Currency converters presumably take a cut too. Tell us about yourself, harryjosh. Are you one of the potential suicides, once they've lost everything and have a large card bill as well? Or maybe a gaming provider or one of their stooges? I think perhaps the latter.
  13. It seems to run from 99 to 141 CPR. https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode https://www.192.com/places/se/se22-9/se22-9es/ https://www.doogal.co.uk/ShowMap.php?postcode=SE22%209ES
  14. > Crikey, how has someone found this thread from two years ago? They seek out a suitable context in which to place a post in which they can refer favourably to a business. Note the use of the clickable link, to make things easy for us.
  15. Are there any instructions on where on the bin to put the sticker? > Not sure what the objection to uncooked food waste added to garden waste would be. The answer seems to be in the DEFRA document cited at /forum/read.php?5,2016023,2034657#msg-2034657. Food waste goes to anaerobic digestion, which is apparently cheaper than garden waste composting, and is able to produce biofuel. Whether that makes putting a banana skin in the garden waste only a minor misdemeanour, I'm not sure.
  16. Thanks P68. I assume you're in SE15 or SE22. Nothing today either, so I'll get my claim in. They're not the only things that have gone missing this year. A slghtly larger than A3 flat medium parcel didn't arrive in ?March. I was perhaps lucky to get the replacement three weeks ago. I found it mid-afternoon left on the doorstep, definitely no bell ring. And a 'signed-for' letter was delivered here on Friday, with no attempt to get a signature. I think I can feel a bulk call to RM complaints coming on.
  17. My Private Eye (expected Wed.12/6) hasn't arrived yet. That's the second instance this year. When I mentioned it to my postie he said that he'd not seen any PEs at all recently. So, before I contact PE subs again: Has any other subscriber received theirs, or not?

    Beware of Scammers

    > This will be a scam, True. > whichever option you take (1 or 2) will almost certainly connect > you to a premium rate line and very quickly cost you a lot of money. Untrue. "Phone Fraud ? Warning from the Police 11.5.05 "We have been advised of a telephone fraud currently in operation -this applies to home and work telephones, landlines and mobiles. If you receive one of these calls, upon answering the telephone you will hear a recorded message congratulating you on winning an all expenses trip to an exotic location. You will then be asked to press 9 to hear further details. If you press 9 you will be connected to a premium rate line that costs approximately ?20 per minute."That's from https://www.hoax-slayer.net/premium-rate-phone-fraud-hoax/. See the Detailed Analysis further on for a debunking. The key press will tell the system that a prospect has bitten on the bait. The system than redirects the call to some active connery, most likely a human con artist. Much as in this recent thread: /forum/read.php?20,2037879. But your remedy, hanging up, is fine. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=71074524 has some useful advice on how to avoid being beguiled into making a premium call.
  19. Or, if it is indeed nothing more than an underdetermined set of linear simultaneous equations, an infinite number of solutions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermined_system#Underdetermined_systems_with_other_constraints_and_in_optimization_problems. As implied by ed_pete's spreadsheet. The fact that there were more unknowns than equations was obvious from the start. That in itself might lead the more open-minded of us to wonder, for a while, if it was in fact the kind of brainteaser where the implied fact that it had a single solution was a piece of information that was needed in order to solve it. But then the later 'hints' and 'clues' sought to add arbitrary constraints on the solution space that weren't included in the original presentation. The most obvious conclusion now is that we've probably been given a copy-and-paste of the illustration but not of the accompanying written part of the problem -- which seems otherwise to have been a very simple one. At primary school we were once asked to provide a question for a class quiz. I burrowed in an encyclopedia and landed on a piece about Sir Edwin Landseer, who was said to have been able to draw when he was seven. I was apparently struck by that, probably because I wasn't much older myself and couldn't draw a toffee. So I turned up at school the next day with "What artist could draw when he was seven?" in my grubby hand. Mrs Price nicely put me right.

  21. See the (Prescribed Routes) (Various Streets) (No. 4) Traffic Order 2011, that's downloadable from the Southwark favourite TMOs page https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/roadworks-and-highway-improvements/traffic-management-orders?chapter=4, for the authoritative specification. East Dulwich Road & Peckham Rye (western arm): 8.1 Every person causing any vehicle to proceed in a southbound direction in that length of Peckham Rye (the western arm) which lies north of its junction with East Dulwich Road shall, upon reaching its junction with East Dulwich Road, cause that vehicle to proceed ahead into that length of Peckham Rye (the western arm) which lies south of its junction with East Dulwich Road. 8.2 No person causing any vehicle to proceed in a northbound direction in Peckham Rye (the western arm) shall, upon reaching its junction with East Dulwich Road, cause that vehicle to turn right into East Dulwich Road. 8.3 No person causing any vehicle to proceed in a westbound direction in East Dulwich Road shall, upon reaching its junction with Peckham Rye (the western arm), cause that vehicle to turn right into Peckham Rye (the western arm). 8.4 Nothing in Article 8.3 preceding shall apply to a bus or a pedal cycle. That doesn't preclude there being an additional one, though I'd expect any that there was to have also been included in the same page.

I've not been able to find record of any that matches your description.
