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.

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?

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.

Fab new novel set in East Dulwich/Peckham
ianr replied to smashing's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip

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.

> 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.

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?

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.

> 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.

Research study on Unusual Experiences - ?20 for 2 hours
ianr replied to raphunderwood's topic in The Lounge
"I know an officer in our police force who has told me that many times when off duty and on his way home in the evening, there comes to him such a vivid and vital realization of his oneness with this Infinite Power, and this Spirit of Infinite Peace so takes hold of and so fills him that it seems as if his feet could scarcely keep to the pavement, so buoyant and so exhilarated does he become by reason of this inflowing tide." ETA citation: from: In tune with the infinite; Author: Trine, Ralph Waldo , 1897. Quoted in a footnote in William James's Varieties of religious experience. -

The porn links aren't just PMs. There are some posted in threads (posing as newsflashes) seven hours ago that are still there. I wonder if their Admin has fled.

They're still up there. I can hear them.

Does anyone else have poor signal near the Horniman?
ianr replied to Supernanny*'s topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
ruffers> Just to be clear the EE signal box isn't a signal booster, it's a femtocell. Interesting. I hadn't been aware of such things. It looks close to having an additional VoIP service provided by your telco. Do they all provide them now? I see that Three do ( http://www.tubblog.co.uk/blog/2013/05/13/using-a-three-home-signal-femtocell-to-improve-a-mobile-phone-signal-2/ or http://support.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBISAPI.DLL/,/?New,Kb=Mobile,Ts=Mobile,T=CaseDoc,Case=obj%285440%29). I also see that EE say: "When you use the Signal Box it will use some of your of your home broadband allowance. To give you a guide: a 20 minute call will use around 9MB." http://help.ee.co.uk/system/selfservice.controller?CONFIGURATION=1016&PARTITION_ID=1&secureFlag=false&segment=consumer&TIMEZONE_OFFSET=&CMD=VIEW_ARTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=629170&CUSTOM_BRAND=Orange&SOURCE_RELATED_ARTICLE=true and also: "You can also use the 3G signal to access the internet, but we'd recommend you use WiFi because it saves on your monthly data allowance and is generally faster." So presumably you pay them for such EE network use, even voice calls, at their data rate rather than by time? -

It's an advertising feature aimed at "Peckham?s yoga bunnies". Charlie Brooker would love it.
