Are you saying these 100% and 33.3% figures are used in deriving the published statistics?

I'm not sure there would have been any hurry to replace the Southern Electric wording. It was still accurate and informative after Southern Railway became Southern Region. I think I may remember the phrase myself, from the 50s or even later. And here's a photograph of Reading Station, said to have been taken in the 60s, that still has Southern Electric. http://www.semgonline.com/location/reading_01.html

Tg: that bit's clear from para. four of the article. Let me prune things: "The ... table shows the percentage of students obtaining A*/A" means what?

"The ... table shows the percentage of students obtaining A*/A or equivalent qualifications at independent schools across the country." Does anyone know what this means?

Unlikely, according to Webtrak, http://webtrak.bksv.com/lhr, from whose interactive map I've copied the following. The items are Time, FlightId, From->To, AircraftType, Height (feet), Groundspeed (knots), Locations crossed ('+' = junction-of) If I've not said it's an arc'd path, it's a due West flight, or within ~10 degrees of it. I can't find any statement of the timezone used: I assume it's BST. Note that most of these are north of East Dulwich proper.

I've just read the label on my Co-op stir-fry mixture (bean shoots, cabbage and carrot) and it says "do not eat raw". I've already eaten 250g of it , raw.

"Do not rub the disc or move the cloth in circular motions, and avoid following the circular lines in the disc." http://www.wisegeek.com/how-do-i-clean-a-cd-or-dvd.htm I can't give a convincing justification for this advice but I've seen it often and assume it's well-founded. I'm also doubtful that all paper towels are not abrasive.

I've just been unable to upload a .doc file as an attachment. The system reported that it was not of an accepted file type, and that only .jpg and .png files could be uploaded. I'm not sure whether this is a system change or a consequence of its glitchy state. In this particular case it doesn't really matter; I simply copied and pasted the contents.

I see someone on the forum has a couple of tickets going at face value. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?28,931170,935529#msg-935529 I caught the last twenty minutes of each of the semi-finals. Disappointed that France didn't have enough finishing skills. I still prefer them to both of the finalists, even if I do admit that they merited their places.

Knowing next to nothing about plants, I tried starting from first principles, by trying to find a plant leaf key, but none of them led to a good hit. The nearest I've found, I can't remember how now, is possibly some variety of Astilbe. So can I have 50p each way on that please.

What you really want is a cross, between a triffid and something attractive and expensive, that will start to get nasty if moved.

I have somewhere a driver with an assortment of bits including torx. Can you make a firmer identification from, say the RH panel at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx?

I asume you were using two computers on a single local network. If it was wireless, I assume it's secure? The first thing I'd check would be that you'd accessed a real official website, with a domain name ending london2012.com, rather than one masquerading as it. Did you each click a link (if so, obtained how?) or enter the URL by hand? A check of your browsers' histories or caches should get you identity of the URL(s) you accessed.

I know little about football, but I enjoyed watching the French women's team a few days ago. Fast, intelligent, combinational play, from what I remember.

As you can see, in response to your post in the Offered section, I took the liberty of posting something from the official faq about its being ok to transfer tickets to friends. In my book, friends includes sympathetic neighbours and fellow posters. Admin has prohibited any resale ads, though as far as I can see the criminal sanctions are against ticket touts, who are in it for profit, and are not intended or operable against friends and their private arrangements.

Huh, I'd been half thinking of writing a script to get the same info from the official website. Suppose I've got no excuse for not going shopping now. Glad to see I match a cyclist. They might have included date and place of birth though.

It's not hard to find from the inscription alone. http://www.scot.scotshome.com/photos/collection-01-P010.htm Oddly, I can't seem to find any geograph photo of it.

It may leave a disfiguring scar. Consider amputation.

I can start a 4-hour DVD recording of BBC1 at 21:00 if no-one additional to espelli is doing it. I've had one DVD exceptionally failing to finalise this week; the only one for many months, but a reminder that no single machine can be 100% relied upon.

In British legal citations, v is currently used for versus; see for example http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/services/sas/library-services/subject-help/subjects/law/law-citations.cfm. If citing cases from other legislations, I'd stick to their own usage. For terms such as "legal capacity" and "legal responsibility" I don't think there's any alternative to using reference sources, such as may be found eg on the web, to make sure you understand their meaning in English law and that your translation is appropriate. Usenet group uk.legal.moderated (also accessible via google groups) is a good forum for questions on matters of law.

Is there anywhere we can hear a recording of any of these messages without resorting to public transport? I feel a sort of duty to share in the suffering.
