Chippy at bottom Dog Kennel Hill is rubbish for food, hygiene, and customer service. Emilys is average, and the owner is a nice chap and all, and helps others locally but I have stopped going there due to his incessent non-stop cliches and platitudes. Just give me my fish n chips! Semas has gone down hill. There are no chippies locally that are consistently good. Cant be that hard.

1. Yes, it is bad etiquette to start eating before all have been served unless the host allows this. 2. It is rude and objectionable to eat with mouth open. 3. Guests should be served first because they are guests 4. Guests should not comment on hosts etiquette

I suppose I meant soul as in deep seated unhappiness to the core which generates these 'fluctuations' or disturbances be they ghostly or otherwise.

A couple of years ago now, it was a very hot summers day and myself and a friend were walking in Nunhead Cemetery. I think I was on the same path Lou has described. As I was walking on the path all of a sudden there was a sharp drop in temperature to the point it felt cold. I stopped, looked and listened but could no longer hear the birds, and the light seemed to have faded but I did not see any figure. I walked back the way I had come and walked into warmth again, as if I was passing from one zone to another. I called to my friend and we walked along thd path together. The same drop in temperature happend again and my friend experienced it too. We quickly went back the way we came as although we were intrigued we were both spooked as something was not right, there was some kind of presence or something there that was not friendly. I have not been down that path since. I believe there are some unhappy souls in that cemetery that are not at rest.

What harm are they doing? Leave them be.

If you're a leaseholder you accept the lease conditions when you sign on the dotted line. No point complaning after. Pay up.

Well done, Maria Mac.

Its against employment law to give a bad reference. If you dont have anything good to say then give all you are required to eg he worked for you as W from X to Y, he had Z days sick, he was punctual etc. Dont interfere in his life, stick to doing that to the Fox.

I agree with Foxy, the mark up on food is massive, bad businesses go, good ones stay. If you are so not making a progit and times are so hard then get a salaried job. But no, you wouldnt make anywhere near as much. You never hear a businessman, especially a restranteur or publican ever say how great business is and how well theyre doing. Always hear the opposite though. Yeah yeah.

So let me see... the only person on here using their own name is sue. Yet, because I, and all othet posters here, joeleg et al, are using forum names I am the only kne that 'could be anyone'. Well I never.

Threatening again, Bob? As usual, on a Lou thread.

How very unkind and snide Georgia, when you happily replied to me. And you know we know eachother hence knowing your bd. I'll know better next time. georgia Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I had a PM last year from Grok wishing me happy > birthday with my (correct) age included.

No, this is nasty: Re: Professional dog walkers a menacePosted by?JoeLeg?29 October, 2015 19:39To judge from LindyLou's posting history she has mental health issues, which she previously admitted to.

The heavy weights are out sharing their one unoriginal trolling tactic between eachother lol Jeremy Wrote:?-------------------------------------------------------?> Yeah I was thinking the same... it's almost?> stalker-like. (not trying to worry you of course,? Posted by?edcam?Yesterday, 05:25PMThe Grok thing re Sueh's gigs is indeed VERY creepy. Wouldn't be surprised if he/she is making it up though, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt(as long as you're not seasoning your baguettes on the bus Sue.)

Well im sure you do stick to the numbers rule sue. But when the doors are closed thats when punters move their chairs and block gangways etc. When? Hmmm let me see, at your last ivyhouse gig, remember when you nearly fell off the stage because you had 'a bug'!
