  1. If you're not going to use homeopathy this medic's advice looks quite sensible. http://www.drgreene.com/kat-bit-her-tongue. And don't forget the sukebind.

Which court and time, and what action is to be heard then?
  3. I've seen this implemented in a couple of station waiting rooms, which we don't have. Do the phone box exchanges survive functionally in the wild?
  4. One related charity does say it has "self-employed lottery canvassers". Whether yours was one, who knows? Do you see them here: http://londonsairambulance.co.uk/support-us/lottery/lottery-canvassers?
  5. > Could we do this? "A rescued telephone box in Brockley has re-opened its door as a community book exchange."
  6. It's also listed Grade II in the summary of 13/AP/1934 of July 2013, but not I think in any of the other seven applications, some earlier, some later. It's a strange type of clerical error to make, let alone twice.
  7. Things do seem to have moved on from the Music and Movement days. http://www.perform.org.uk/classes/weekly-classes/perform-48s/themes/under-the-sea/tea-under-the-sea.html
  8. The planning application summary does say "Listed building: Grade II". OTOH, it doesn't show up as a listed building on the interactive map at http://maps.southwark.gov.uk/connect/southwark.jsp (category is 18th from end of side menu) , or in http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/search?pc=SE22. Somewhere there should be an authoritative list.
  9. Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath (a 37 bus will get you directly to the latter). In the other direction, Falconwood station is next to Shepherdleas and then Oxleas Woods. All about 40 min journey time with the wind in the right direction. The Woodland Trust seems to have its own proprietary set, and a search engine.
  10. It looks to me as if the rules for visitor children may be more restrictive than those for resident ones, as at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/students-and-children/5-10-zip-oyster-photocard?intcmp=11058.

    Pet assassin

The quotation took a little longer than the promised 24 hours. I don't know if that was intentional, but it did give me just enough time to reflect and think better of it. I'm going to give Ferdy another chance.

    It's not a wind-up: it has no expectation of anyone taking it seriously.

    I was going to just leave my pet rock in someone's garden. Do you think termination would be kinder?
  14. The simplest way is to just copy and paste the URL, from your browser's address bar if you're viewing the page, or from a quoted link on a page. By doing this the initial http colon stroke stroke bit will be included. If it's not there add it manually. When you preview or post, the Phorum software sees a 'word' starting with http... etc and automatically converts it into a clickable link. I usually check that it appears as such in the Preview pane, and that the link actually works, before posting.
  15. "tools for moisturising your community, bringing out its best side, bringing out the best in what you already have". Now at http://www.transitionnetwork.org/news/2014-04-01/transition-network-launches-new-fragrance-range.
  16. Wiltshire came to my mind, but Radstock seems now to be part of Bath & NE Somerset. One recourse would be the Bath Record Office. http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/libraries-and-archives/archives There may be contemporary Kelly's (though I can't remember whether it lists by street) or other street directories (I've not checked th catalogue) or an archivist might have some ideas or suggestions. Any local forum, such as https://bathmums.co.uk/listings/view/radstock-library, might well be a source of good information. We've seen people come to EDF and get good local historical information. Or the local Library/Information Centre whose details are in the linked page. Re libraries, see also http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/libraries-and-archives/local-studies for local studies.

    Stomach bug

    > I'm pretty sure the A&E doctor wouldn't have given me them [ABs] had she not suspected a bacterial infection. Even if she did, and was correct, there was no certainty that whatever she prescribed would cure it. There's also no certainty, beyond your own feeling, that any improvement was due to the AB. Did she know that your GP was waiting for test results? > I now don't know whether to return to A&E and tell them all this I'd save A&E for emergencies. I'm wondering what took you to them initially.

[902409] Mr John Spellar (Warley) (Lab): Will the Prime Minister make clear whether he will still, quite wrongly, try to end the ban on fox hunting?

  19. There's a quite nice basic six minute explanatory presentation about one such proposed scheme, PittMesh, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvAT7DTspaM. I'm all for shared playing around with systems, and anything that might help demystify and socialise the use of technology; though I suspect that such projects will do so only for the usual subset of enthusiasts. I'm also rather sceptical that they will do much to actually achieve the claimed purported benefits of Freedom, Privacy and Creativity. But then I'm the sort of person who's not bothered about having their digital utterances stored or mapped, or who wouldn't mind, say, all tax returns being public. And if I do want to communicate in secure privacy, I already have the means to do so. Meanwhile, anyone who wants to help the needy now could always offer to share their BB connection with their neighbours. PS Might the greatest value of such projects be as an experiment in building local resilience, against the day the Internet falls over?
  20. DF: quotation delimiters and attributions always please, at least as a courtesy to readers and sources.

    Car Alarm

    If it continues a long time, the drain on his battery is in itself going to have a salutary effect. Leaving a copy of the Southwark web page on his windscreen with a note of the times should also help.
  22. There's also http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,336529,459608#msg-459608 (James Barber) and http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,441638,441653.
  23. > Their website seems to be based in the Bahamas. Curious. I think that's probably just a consequence of Scrumptious Creams having got their website from Vistaprint, who seem to retain ownership of the domain, with the resulting unfortunate anonymity and untraceability. Some incidental good news found en route: every single one of the "Other catering premises" businesses registered with Southwark has a full '5' rating. Btw, I know of the importance of cakes to the ED economy, but even so, six pictures, all in one thread in the General section, is making me feel very queasy indeed. Can someone please remove them to a more appropriate section.
  24. Are you any of Scrumptious Cupcakes, Thanet; Truly Scrumptious, Lambeth; Betty Scrumptious, Bromley; Truly Scrumptious Cakes, Tonbridge; Scrumptious Cakes by Fairy, Redbridge? http://ratings.food.gov.uk/enhanced-search/en-GB/.
