Reporting the exact appearnce and wording of any apparent error or warning message, and precisely when it appears, helps enormously. Even googling on it can sometimes bring up some useful indicators. The wording itself might be enough to probably identify it as one of those hoax warnings meant to lure you somewhere. If it's parasitically associated with a browser which is reloading previously used tabs on restart, you could also try shutting down the browser - does it appear if you restart without opening your browser? - then restarting it and quickly killing off each tab as soon as it shows signs of loading. That might in itself be enough to get rid of it. Or simply try using a different browser. Or use a command window to open your current browser (?IE) in a 'new' state, or without add-ons: the mantras will be out there somewhere for anyone interested to find.

There was some talk about sash window locks in this thread of September 2010, http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,537002, though some of the attachments may no longer be there. I don't know, but it might be that having a pair of the "sash stop" type, one on each of the side panels (stiles) of the window, might be more resistant to leverage from a jemmy or spade under the lower window. See eg http://thecrimepreventionwebsite.com/security-for-existing-windows/581/locking-sliding-sash-windows/. But I'm sure you can get good advice from the local police crime prevention officer or Callow Locksmiths, whose shop is now in Melbourne Grove.

I'd just try again. You should (I've just experimented) be sent a further verification email with a second confirmation code, which I expect would work.

Best known as a doyen of cryptic crossword compilers, he does actually have an ED connection. After war service and then Cambridge he was ordained into the C of E, and St Johns, ED, was his first parish. His falling in love with a young woman of the parish was not approved of -- "we were supposed to be celibates ... it was a rule of that particular parish" -- and he was accordingly bundled off to serve in Durham instead. They did eventually get married, after she spent a year in a TB sanatorium.

How long was it before the police arrived? I assume, with a crime definitely in progress and perps there for the taking, they'd give it high priority. I'm wondering about the strategy of keeping shtumm for as long as possible after calling them, to increase their chance of making some arrests.

Josephine, which was the road the car turned into?

But you were encouraging embedding, as did Admin in the "How to upload and embed a photo:Guide" sticky thread, and its use has been building up since then. Properly it's perhaps in that thread that I should really be querying the practice. I've nothing against the use of an external image repository to lighten the forum server load; probably a good idea, if Flickr or whoever can tolerate it and it can be managed if necessary. > Given the recent spat on the CGF thread, I reckon it's sensible. Is that one of the picture threads? I tend to avoid them if I remember them. > Plus moderators can always edit the worst offenders Do they really want the work and worry? > This forum really does sap one's will to live sometimes, with it's wellspring of negativity. I do sometimes find avoiding reading the forum at all quite therapeutic, for a number of reasons, but I'll keep quiet rather than risk being accused of negativity, and stick to the current straw. I just don't see why, in most cases, the polite and helpful provision of a link, such as Dispproving baby photo, isn't preferable to having my screen gratuitously filled with whatever someone thinks I should be viewing, and having my reading of a thread made correpondingly less easy.

:-) > click on the share button of the photo and copy the code in the Grab the > HTML/BBCode box (you can set the size and everything) [post-smiley ed:] and then a moderator has to waste five minutes to come along and change it to something more reasonable. Do you really want to encourage the embedding of photographs within threads? It's a pain to consume, and an encouragement to nuisance hot-linking. [Afterthought 8/11] Isn't this, in proposed form, a non-starter anyway? The Flickr account seems inaccessible to me, presumably because the Flickr username is associated with a single (El Pibe's) Yahoo account. Would Flickr even countenance the creation of an account meant to be accessible by anyone? Even if they did, wouldn't it then be liable to attacks by trollers, spammers, pirates, vandals, porn merchants, the bored, ..., for all of which the nominal account holder would be liable to be held responsible.

Here's a 2007 Usenet uk.transport.london post that includes a letter from TfL about Volvo B7TL buses - which I think includes the 176: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/uk.transport.london/YrEmfvSNzCA

Re cyclehoops: I emailed the council in September 2010, after seeing the mentions in this thread, to ask how I could distinguish them on the interactive map. After a reminder, I got a reply in November 2010, from which: We do indeed have some trial sites for this particular type of cycle parking. A couple of sites that I am aware of are Union Street by the Palestra building and Cathedral Street by Borough Market. I believe that the interactive map has been removed from the website pending an up to date audit of cycle parking across the borough. I'm also aware that these stands have not proved to be very popular with our engineers and our Streetscape Design Manager and so will most probably not be used within the Borough in the future. Please contact me should you require any further details.

Thanks very much for (1) your asking the council clearly (2) their quick response (3) relaying it here. Now we're all better informed. That's the way to do it. I see btw that the Lambeth Bikehangars are a different animal from the cycle hoops, of which ISTR Southwark trialled a few several years ago.

What are the actual current perceived hazards? What are the "Cycling to School Partnership" and the "Schools Partnership", both mentioned in the above copy and in http://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/article/1449/285_000_of_funding_awarded_to_support_cycling_in_dulwich_and_herne_hill?

If you are in position to usefully guess, make good use of surveys of PIN choices. In particular, try using the holder's birthdate or other significant date information that's available to you. http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2012/02/20/how-hard-are-pins-to-guess/

It will affect four currently licensed venues and proposes midnight as the terminal serving hour for alcohol seven days a week.

I know that quotation is from a police web site, but the actual Act is a more reliable source. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/52/section/170

> also word woarnign the text number on bus stops is charged at multimedia rate by orange/ee cpst ?1.50 a text. The SMS text charge is said to be "12 pence per text over your standard network rate" according to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/termsandconditions/20914.aspx. It is just a text message, isn't it? The only other thing I can think of is the free web service, which costs whatever you have to pay for data downloads.

Anyone else had anything like this What were the exact words on the PCN of the alleged contravention? Would you like to append a copy of the photograph to a post here? It could be edited to paint over number plates or faces?

There's a French media channel, Equidia, that provides live coverage of races via several routes, including Equidia Live Direct web TV. Unfortunately they don't seem to be willing to provide their web stream to UK subscribers. http://www.equidia.fr/L-Univers-Equidia/Equidia-Live-Equidia-Life/Comment-recevoir-Equidia-Live-et-Equidia-Life They do also have a large multiply-indexed archive of videos of races that looks accessible and cheap. Here's Silver Treasure's last appearance, for example: http://www.equidiavideo.fr/Courses/GRAND-VIVIER.
