Again I hope the man is getting better.

Brave Guy??? What an idiot risking his life for what? Two cheap TV?s?? What dent would that have made to Sainsbury?s profits? Different if he had been attacked by burglars in his home. Saying that I hope he is ok but takes his health more seriously in future, it?s not worth it.

And there is moi in ED. You can come round this weekend and help while I do an inspection, its almost beebedtime but it's still interesting. I have a spare bee suit.

Maybe I am confused but I thought you were in your forties with six children.

Well Mars certainly came through for me. They sent a letter confirming that my earwigs were, err, earwigs. Also went on about quality control. They sent me vouchers for ?6.00 for which I have to find a ?willing retailer? who will accept them for ?Mars products?. Good eh? I think I will send them back and say the minimum I will accept is a book token for ?10.00. Sound reasonable? At least then I?ll get a good book and enjoy it.

Why dont you ring Stuart Turner?

Brilliant! I didn't think of it as a fashion statement. I have never been fashionable, maybe there is still hope.

Yes of course. You'll find it under "Wednesday night bookclub" in the "Whats on in East Dulwich" Do come along and have a good weekend.

I am trying!

Tarot, some people on this forum would like you to go away. I think that is misguided. Your amusement value far outways your ridiculous post?s. Roll on.

Hi and welcome to ED. I am meeting some people from a bookclub I go to on Friday in the Clockhouse at about7.30~8.00. Outside the age range but you are both welcome to come and introduce yourselves. Chick

Thats nothing, I got earwigs in my Maltesers. Bloody EU.

Trampoline now gone

I'll settle for a Mars bar.

Tonight I purchased a packet of Maltesers from a vending machine. It contained extra free protein in the form of six earwigs. They had burrowed through the chocolate and eaten the honeycombe contents. It was all a bit yucky. I dont think I will be able to eat Maltesers again. I wonder what Mars will offer as recompense.

I am off to watch One Flew over the Cuckoos? Nest.

Again not my words: I am impressed that tackling the rioters is happening via the lawcourts. No need to bring in evictions/benefit removals/illegal measures. After all MPs Jim Sheridan, Lembit Opik, David Crausby, Shahid Malik, Ruth Kelly among those who looted plasma TVs on their expenses - and they're on ?64k salaries. None of them went to jail. Our existing laws should be applied to all, fairly. It doesn't happen but that's the essence of the democratic vision.

These aren't my words. Dear Mr & Mrs Cameron, Why did you never take the time to teach your child basic morality? As a young man, he was in a gang that regularly smashed up private property. We know that you were absent parents who left your child to be brought up by a school rather than taking responsibility for his behaviour yourselves. The fact that he became a delinquent with no sense of respect for the property of others can only reflect that fact that you are terrible, lazy human beings who failed even in teaching your children the difference between right and wrong. I can only assume that his contempt for the small business owners of Oxford is indicative of his wider values. Even worse, your neglect led him to fall in with a bad crowd. He became best friends with a young man who set fire to buildings for fun. And others: There?s Michael Gove, whose wet-lipped rage was palpable on Newsnight last night. This is the Michael Gove who confused one of his houses with another of his houses in order to avail himself of ?7,000 of the taxpayers? money to which he was not entitled (or ?13,000, depending on which house you think was which). Or Hazel Blears, who was interviewed in full bristling peahen mode for almost all of last night. She once forgot which house she lived in, and benefited to the tune of ?18,000. At the time she said it would take her reputation years to recover. Unfortunately not. But, of course, this is different. This is just understandable confusion over the rules of how many houses you are meant to have as an MP. This doesn?t show the naked greed of people stealing plasma tellies. Unless you?re Gerald Kaufman, who broke parliamentary rules to get ?8,000 worth of 40-inch, flat screen, Bang and Olufsen TV out of the taxpayer. Or Ed Vaizey, who got ?2,000 in antique furniture ?delivered to the wrong address?. Which is fortunate, because had that been the address they were intended for, that would have been fraud. Or Jeremy Hunt, who broke the rules to the tune of almost ?20,000 on one property and ?2,000 on another. But it?s all right, because he agreed to pay half of the money back. Not the full amount, it would be absurd to expect him to pay back the entire sum that he took and to which he was not entitled. No, we?ll settle for half. And, as in any other field, what might have been considered embezzlement of ?22,000 is overlooked. We know, after all, that David Cameron likes to give people second chances. Fortunately, we have the Met Police to look after us. We?ll ignore the fact that two of its senior officers have had to resign in the last six weeks amid suspicions of widespread corruption within the force. We?ll ignore Andy Hayman, who went for champagne dinners with those he was meant to be investigating, and then joined the company on leaving the Met. Of course, Mr and Mrs Cameron, your son is right. There are parts of society that are not just broken, they are sick. Riddled with disease from top to bottom. Just let me be clear about this (It?s a good phrase, Mr and Mrs Cameron, and one I looted from every sentence your son utters, just as he looted it from Tony Blair), I am not justifying or minimising in any way what has been done by the looters over the last few nights. What I am doing, however, is expressing shock and dismay that your son and his friends feel themselves in any way to be guardians of morality in this country. Can they really, as 650 people who have shown themselves to be venal pygmies, moral dwarves at every opportunity over the last 20 years, bleat at others about ?criminality?. Those who decided that when they broke the rules (the rules they themselves set) they, on the whole wouldn?t face the consequences of their actions? Are they really surprised that this country?s culture is swamped in greed, in the acquisition of material things, in a lust for consumer goods of the most base kind? Really? Let?s have a think back: cash-for-questions; Bernie Ecclestone; cash-for-access; Mandelson?s mortgage; the Hinduja passports; Blunkett?s alleged insider trading (and, by the way, when someone has had to resign in disgrace twice can we stop having them on television as a commentator, please?); the meetings on the yachts of oligarchs; the drafting of the Digital Economy Act with Lucian Grange; Byers?, Hewitt?s & Hoon?s desperation to prostitute themselves and their positions; the fact that Andrew Lansley (in charge of NHS reforms) has a wife who gives lobbying advice to the very companies hoping to benefit from the NHS reforms. And that list didn?t even take me very long to think of. Our politicians are for sale and they do not care who knows it. Oh yes, and then there?s the expenses thing. Widescale abuse of the very systems they designed, almost all of them grasping what they could while they remained MPs, to build their nest egg for the future at the public?s expense. They even now whine on Twitter about having their expenses claims for getting back to Parliament while much of the country is on fire subject to any examination. True public servants. The last few days have revealed some truths, and some heartening truths. The fact that the #riotcleanup crews had organised themselves before David Cameron even made time for a public statement is heartening. The fact that local communities came together to keep their neighbourhoods safe when the police failed is heartening. The fact that there were peace vigils being organised (even as the police tried to dissuade people) is heartening. There is hope for this country. But we must stop looking upwards for it. The politicians are the ones leading the charge into the gutter. David Cameron was entirely right when he said: ?It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to think that the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities, and that their actions do not have consequences.? He was more right than he knew. And I blame the parents. Nathaniel Tapley.
