The Dulwich Library Monday afternoon films are at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,912586,912586. They get a bigger audience than the equivalent Picturehouse matinees. The Clapham Picturehouse can be effectively no further than the Brixton one, if you go by train. 13-14 minutes ED to PR to Clapham High Street, then a brisk seven minutes walk. It's also on the 37 route.

In the meantime you can still insert the BBCode tags, which is what the Editor Tools create, yourself. There are some examples here, bbcode.org examples page, and you can check your code in Preview before posting. Sue, that's the basic message parser. If I type just http:// it treats it as ordinary text; but if I add owt, the string gets treated as if an URL and so appears as http://owt.

> Failing to report an accident, more than just naughty: points and a fine or even a ban. s170 of RTA 1988, assuming this is the current version: http://www.cyclecraft.co.uk/digest/rta170.html: DUTY OF DRIVER TO STOP, REPORT ACCIDENT AND GIVE INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS 1) This section applies in a case where, owing to the presence of a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road, an accident occurs by which - (a) personal injury is caused to a person other than the driver of that mechanically propelled vehicle, or (b) damage is caused - (i) to a vehicle other than that mechanically propelled vehicle or a trailer drawn by that mechanically propelled vehicle, or (ii) to an animal other than an animal in or on that mechanically propelled vehicle or a trailer drawn by that mechanically propelled vehicle, or (iii) to any other property constructed on, fixed to, growing in or otherwise forming part of the land on which the road in question is situated or land adjacent to such land (2) The driver of the mechanically propelled vehicle must stop and, if required to do so by any person having reasonable grounds for so requiring, give his name and address and also the name and address of the owner and the identification marks of the vehicle. (3) If for any reason the driver of the mechanically propelled vehicle does not give his name and address under subsection (2) above, he must report the accident. --- Any of the above to be proved, of course, beyond reasonable doubt.

My first thought was to suggest you tried clearing your cache, as mentioned by Wino, though I held off as your problem seemed to affect two different machines. On reflection, however, I think you ought at least to try that. Edit: I misread the typo in your message, so hadn't registered that you've solved your problem.

All I can see in the July issue of SE22 is "we've approved ... Matham Grove street orchard", on page 44. You've clearly got other information sources that you've not mentioned, so I'll leave it at that. From what I've seen so far, I don't even know whether the application is a genuine project or a practical joke or scam. Why not contact the DCC support officer (link above), or one of your councillors, with your questions and concerns, and then update us?

I see, btw, that there are already community orchards in some small Southwark parks: Bird in Bush Park, Nursery Row Park, Warwick Gardens. Is there any public garden space in Matham Grove?

> Planting a proposed 35 apple trees in the front gardens as has been suggested by the council needs discussion. But it's not a council project. They've (I presume) simply responded to a grant application from (I presume) a local group of people calling themselves a collective. Has the collective not communicated with local residents? You seem to have information from someone.

Details of the application, ref. D1209, are in Appendix 1 to Item 14 on the agenda of the Dulwich Community Council Meeting of 26 June. http://moderngov.southwarksites.com/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=176&MID=4290, when the recommendations were to be considered. The wording is as you say. The applicant is shown as "East Dulwich Orchard Collective". The full application details, considerations, and outcome, will all be public information, available on request if not published on the website. The minutes of the meeting probably won't appear until later, probably as For Approval in the agenda of the next DCC meeting. The DCC home webpage, with contact details, is at http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=176.

> "Fixing 400 errors - general" But that's about client problems, not servers. I'm a bit surprised that you're getting an Editor Tools error report for every "message ... loaded", whatever that means. But that's said in ignorance of the system architecture. But if they are there, they might be due to a simple configuration setting error, such as a wrong path name. Wasn't the last recent glitch a configuration one? I can't remember now. More of help, I think, would be a sample of the error reports; they could at least lead to the location in the open source code where the problem's showing itself, and possibly indicate relevant paths. If the problem's only been around since the latest boot, it might be worth trying a shutdown and cold restart at some quiet time. There might possibly be other quick and dirty fixes for the volume of error reports, if necessary. They boil down to ways of doing away with the error log.

Husker wrote yesterday at 18:46: > Heber school sent a text message that stated "a man tried to abduct a Yr 6 child" Husker wrote today at 20:45: > There is no inference - "attempted abduction" is the exact wording used by Heber School on their communication to parents. Could you please just copy from your phone, word for word, the full text of the message you received.

I'd add Bromley and Kilburn to the options for checking.

It has been inscribed in the Annals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_1%27s_Big_Weekend

Thirded. The event at DHFC that led to a shooting and a fatal stabbing also started out as a private 18th birthday party. Someone then advertised it, including on Facebook, and it was said to to have turned into a pay party. I don't like being a Jeremiah or alarmist, and things can presumably go without any trouble at all, but better aware than not.

I've not used anything that's not on the forum server. But i don't think I dare say any more. But while I'm here, can I at least gripe again about the way the forum software erroneously treats some ascii strings. Below is an arithmetic series. Look what it does to the bracketed 6 term. All that's needed to correct that behaviour is to change the mapping in the smileys file, or remove the entry entirely. I assume that not many people use the ascii form for input anyway, or that it's canonical for that particular smiley. (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

Any relation to this one? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,643734,page=1 I'm half wondering if this should be in the Nature Watch thread, along with the swifts.

> Also just to let you know the police have been and searched gardens i n my street . Lovely police officer > who said they were searching gardens in a 2 mile radius in case he has tried to take shelter in shed etc I'm relieved to hear that, given the possibility of confusion, of whatever degree, being the cause. I gather he didn't have his Freedom Pass with him, but is it known what sort of places he has used it to go to, even maybe just once for something like a country walk, some time ago? He could have got into the train system, maybe even been let on a bus, without it.

And don't even think of letting anyone have access to them. 18/6: edited to remove an example selection of ten icon smileys (five of them animated). Even a few seconds of them can make some feel queasy. :-( The ascii versions, as eg used above and by Sue below, are of course always usable. Ed [22/6]: But now again likely to be translated by the forum software into the graphic ones.

If you believe in education and can deal with their guessing that it was from you, you could leave copies of all or parts of http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200089/street_cleaning/417/litter_and_street_cleaning or http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200178/environmental_crime/773/fixed_penalty_noticesfines under their wipers.

There are several previous threads with similar reports of Lebanese loops eg: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,697919,697946 I note that the article DF links to suggests calling the police immediately in such cases, presumably on the assumption that there would be someone nearby waiting to retrieve your card. Appearing to give up and leave and then discreetly watching from a distance might be a useful tactic too.

Just checked the live arrivals and departures pages. The system does indeed currently show trains arriving from Sevenoaks and PRye on platform 3, but strangely doesn't seem to know which platform they'll be using for going back there. Incidentally, when I checked earlier this morning, the 02:13 trains from (?)Three Bridges to Bedford were shown using platform 5. Is that Harry Potter territory?

Actually, this is the index page for BFR, with links to everyfink, including live departure details with platform info. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/BFR/details.html At this moment all northbound trains seem to be expected to be using platform 2.
