  1. Plenty of Colloca papers around, from at least 2005. Just search for "pubmed placebo Colloca". Personally, I'd recommend -- assuming they're the ones I've heard -- three Radio 4 programmes by Geoff Watts and Ben Goldacre. Google "BBC Radio 4 placebo nocebo" for them. There are btw quite a number of papers reporting placebo effects in animals.

Not clear if it's a green paper or a > white paper or a discussion document There's already been an initial consultation. This is the resulting white paper / policy document, "Clean Air Strategy 2019". Links to both at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/air-quality-draft-clean-air-strategy-2018. Official announcement here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-launches-world-leading-plan-to-tackle-air-pollution. It covers most types of air pollution. Dr Gary Fuller of KCL Environmental Research Group, was interviewed on BBC R4 PM programme today. From which: "There's a calculation that's been done that says, if you take one of the most modern wood-burning stoves, it's equivalent to driving about six of the most modern heavy goods vehicles up and down your road."He also reckoned that there are about two million wood-burning households, half of which use open fires, and that the best stoves produce about one fifth the pollution of an open fire.

You do seem to like keeping your sources to yourself. Can I have the URL please. I've wasted nough time searching the Times for it.
  5. If the postcode's correct I'd check with all your neighbours with the same postcode.
  6. > Tracking confirmed it came from Melbourne, Australia - bit of a coincidence. If it's not a coincidence I'd suspect it was due to a PF employee absent-mindedly misentering the street name on your invoice. Is the postcode yours? Have you in any case given them the chance to check and to rectify any error? I'd also be very wary of giving any third party apparent title to the package, unless, just perhaps, absolutely convinced that is was meant for them. Far safer to leave the responsibility and risk clearly with PF.
  7. Add it to the two that went from Greendale. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1895316#msg-1895426 Is it known who removed it?

  11. There's a proposed blind randomised controlled trial of D-Mannose for prevention of RUTI, https://www.spcr.nihr.ac.uk/projects/d-mannose-to-prevent-recurrent-uti-a-double-blind-randomised-placebo-controlled-trial.

    > Her God comments are worrying. Your source please.
  13. You could ask https://southwarkfilmoffice.co.uk/.
  14. There are also frame numbers of course. But I suspect the main problem is that, as has been mentioned, a perp's assertion that they were just acting for a friend would probably on its own be enough to avoid any conviction for handling stolen goods. In choice cases though, I'd still like to see the police make an arrest where there was reasonable suspicion, and see where the subsequent investigation, searches and interview led. Bear in mind too that a conviction in the previous five years for handling can itself be admissible evidence in determining an accused's guilty knowledge. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/theft-act-offences#a25 On another tack, has anyone asked the police simply to be in attendance, to maintain the Queen's peace while you reclaimed your clearly stolen property? It would look rather bad if they consistently refused and you then got marmalised.
  15. > And how do you explain the charger cable? There are no obvious charge points in the area, unless possibly available inside the leftmost entrance to the school. The lead, whatever it is, seems to coming from the direction of what, if you magnify the first picture, looks as if it it could be the open back door of a recovery or workshop vehicle in the top LH corner. @Dyson Repairs, is there any possibility of your changing your hot link, to the photo uploaded on your website, to a plain URL? If anyone's interested, the full Daily Mail account of the Edinburgh January 2015 incident is at https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2931134/I-know-said-street-parking-ridiculous-Car-ends-nose-crashing-basement-level-building.html.

  17. Is anyone staking out the leisure centre between twelve and one today?

    GP At Hand

    Sue, I'm not quite sure of the strength of the nexus between Babylon Health's 'AI' diagnosis R&D and the day-to-day GP at Hand practice, but the link is worth being aware of. They were featured in Horizon last month: "Diagnosis on Demand? The Computer Will See You Now" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bqjq0q. It's viewable there for only one more day, but I do have a copy on disk. I don't remember atm how much it shows of actual patient consultations.
  20. I've spent an engaging twenty minutes checking all the visible banknote security features listed in the B of E's booklet (3MB PDF) https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/banknotes/take-a-closer-look.pdf. It covers the current notes. If you still have access to the fakes it would be interesting, and possibly useful, to know which of the security features actually show them up as fakes, once you know what to look for, and which don't.
  21. There is one actually scheduled as on now until 2pm. "Cuppa with a Copper An opportunity to have a Cuppa with your local Cops 1:00PM - 2:00PM, Sat 01 December 2018 Dulwich Leisure Centre, 2B Crystal Palace Road SE22 9HB" https://www.met.police.uk/a/your-area/met/southwark/goose-green/?introducingyoursaferneighbourhoodsteam=meetingandevents Other sessions currently listed for this month at DLC are: 12:00PM - 1:00PM, Sat 08 December 2018 10:00AM - 11:00AM, Fri 14 December 2018 12:00PM - 1:00PM, Fri 21 December 2018

    Be mindful

    A flat in Mary Datchelor Close, SE5, on 31 July. Here's one of the photos.
  24. What did happen to the previous thread?
  25. I would like to see the actual FOI question and full response. The first person mentioned in the article you linked to had 245 previous convictions, btw. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/serial-thief-jailed-for-stealing-steak-and-candles-from-belfast-supermarket-34378018.html. I doubt magistrates are generally keen on imprisoning people for minor offences. They also have the sentencing guidelines to adhere to.
