robbin

Portable air conditioner with pipe out of window. Unzipping my top a bit and freewheeling down Dog Kennel Hill (although going up adds to the heat).

A couple of observations - (i) being disabled neither makes him a nice person, now excuses bad/criminal behaviour from him. His disability did not seem to stop him assaulting you, so I don't think he needs to be given any latitude for that reason. (ii) it would be wrong now to be scared of helping any disabled person because of this awful man - that would be suggesting all disabled people are the same and that makes no sense (I suspect you didn't mean to suggest that when you said "but next time I don't know if I will help a disabled guy...this made me scared!"). The bottom line is that you were doing a good thing and were repaid by this individual behaving very badly and assaulting you. IMO he should be warned again (by the police) that he cannot assault people like that(and not in a 'friendly' way - because clearly he has already been told before to no avail) .

What's the punch-line?!

Damn, I just spilt my coffee while trying to stifle a yawn...

You need to ask a lawyer for advice. Much usually turns on the scope of the PMC's retainer (i.e. their contract with you).

Strictly speaking that may be correct DF, but if such drivel is plastered all over a thread you are otherwise reading, it's pretty difficult to avoid reading the drivel. Refusing to open a pm is obviously much easier.

I've never received any such pm from anyone else on the EDF. To be fair to L though, when I messaged her to say that I wasn't going to open any other pm from her, but would consider simply forwarding them to Admin, she didn't send any more.

No, not only in East Dulwich. Sainsburys are a nationwide chain and online they sell their organic free range chicken for about the same - roughly ?15 for a 2kg chicken.

And there you go again, Louisa. For a few months there you tried to re-invent yourself as normal, after you got yourself banned by your constant rudeness to people and by your achingly repetitive theme of running down other residents/users of the EDF as being 'posh' or 'out of towners' or people who just like to be 'seen' in new restaurants etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. But the mask has already slipped hasn't it? Looking at how you are being gratuitously rude to all sorts of other people (seemingly deliberately winding them up, as before) on other threads on here, it's clear you do not reserve such conduct for me - it's clear you just 'get off' on it. Sorry civilservant - I confess to not understanding your question - it's seems a bit out of left field. It's not a matter of drawing a line about anything - I was merely saying I found having several rats fighting and running around by my ankles unpleasant. I wouldn't have thought that was a surprising reaction. It was pretty vile when the major rat infestation was at it's height in Lincoln's Inn Fields. I guess you had to be there. I'm struggling to see what meerkats, Gnus or hipsters have to do with finding a rat infestation unpleasant?!

Very tiresome robbin.

I see you ignored that inconvenient fact, rather than admit your post was nonsense - which suggests you were deliberately trolling, rather than it being an honest mistake. Instead, you post some sort of painfully imbecilic response, more redolent of a playground spat between 7 year olds. Please give it a rest. OP - if you are worried about the number of rats, it's worth drawing their presence to the attention of the Council, because if they are dealt with sooner rather than later they won't disappear, but it might avoid them moving in en masse like they did in Lincoln's Inn Fields. When they reach that point they are pretty vile to encounter and more difficult to eradicate. Seeing 5 or 6 rats scuttling about scavenging for food/fighting each other right in front of you on the pavement, was a very unpleasant experience!

Nice try (again) with the fake comments, Louisa - the Trump administration would be proud of you. You replied to my posting timed at 12.12 today and as you can see - that post has not been edited! Embarrassing?

Or maybe the Councillor could go round to Louisa's flat, with a view to removing the chewing gum that someone has apparently stuck on the bottom of her shoe?

Sorry - I can't help. I had posted a suggestion that you buy it online, but although that is possible. However, on looking, it seemed expensive so I deleted my post (or at least tried to, but it won't let you do that - the best I could do was delete all but the full stop!)

RH - Watch out for sheep on the way back down the hill... they like to share the road!

It's the one that's down the road from Box Hill. Box Hill is a fair bit easier, I have found. Leith Hill is not by any means the hardest climb in the SE, but it is reasonably challenging for those like me who are not exactly what you would call hill climbers! I know what you mean about the masochism involved with cycling and hills though! It does tend to kick in after a while.

In my experience, half way down Leith Hill is preferable to being half way up!

Thanks Lynne, but with respect that is also a little disingenuous, given that you have just agreed that what you were asserting earlier on were "just facts" are in reality your opinions. In any event, professionally I grapple with differentiating fact from opinion on a weekly, if not daily basis, so I think I'm ok on that score. Anyway, time to get back on topic?

Yes, more work, less browsing.

Quite - and let's not forget that a huge number of people were taken in (quite reasonably/honestly) by what turned out to be misleading intelligence, including a good number of the (majority) of MPs that voted. That doesn't mean they were responsible for any wrongdoing, or anything deserving of censure. I don't recall Tessa ever being accused of sexing up a dossier or bullying anyone in relation to the Iraq vote. To me she seemed like a good person and a decent MP, the likes of which I wish we had more of.

In (slightly) poor taste, in light of the timing. Also, almost all of what you listed, I think were good things (e.g. extended drinking hours, Olympics) - so in reality those are just your opinions - not "just a few facts".

I'm afraid I can't muster an ounce of interest in what that UN 'expert' has to say on the issue.
