A recommendation for Steve who came and helped tidy up my garden, clear out weeds, dig in new plants, and generally leave it looking like it should!Really helpful and pleasant to have around. Would have him back next year for sure.

Have called you. Took it to the vets at 509 lordship lane and they will look after it. They have called you on your landline. Lovely cat! Very affectionate and friendly. Enjoyed its visit and we fed it etc.

It's not this one, is it? It's now lost in my garden if it is...

No collar. Seems lost and distressed. In our garden in Goodrich.

[Here's a pic.

A ginger cat without a collar is in our garden and behaving like its lost and distressed. Seems quite young. Has a white patch down his front. If yours, and not back home by the morning, PM me. He might still be around.

A card for you has been delivered to my address.

Actually, I think the PH chain is larger than people may know, and in fact is part of Cineworld, which owns several multiplexes. Quite different from what it was when it started off...

Good morning and thank you Otta. I am sure that I will sing the praises of ED PH, loudly and eloquently, after I visit. Along with many others, I too have been waiting for a local cinema, and when it was announced that it was a PH, even more so. I am a PH fan!

Of course you can attend as a non-member and pay non-member ticket prices. I had thought that being a very long standing member of PH, and them having tickets available, that they would relax their "Rule"!

Hi Jah Lush

The Picturehouse is a chain. And yes, I can waltz into another - the same benefits regardless of which PH you attend. But obviously not the members' events for founding members of the ED PH!

Looking forward to visiting the new cinema. On Friday afternoon, I called to see if I could get a ticket - there were a good number available. But no, I was refused on the basis that I was not a FOUNDING member. No matter that I have been resident in the area for 30 years or so (so hopefully qualify on that front)and perhaps more relevant, that I have been a Picturehouse member since they started their membership scheme. The conversation took some bizarre turns:

PH: But when you joined Picturehouse, you must have selected your "home" cinema to visit.

ME: Yes, I did and it was the Ritzy.

PH: So you selected the ritzy...

ME: Well yes, it was 20 years ago and the ED picturehouse was nowhere in the picture.

PH: But since you did not join the ED PH, we can't let you attend today.

ME: And my having been a member for 20 years counts for nothing? And that you actually have tickets available and it's late Friday afternoon already.

PH: No, you should have selected ED as your home cinema...

and so on. Oh well! Off to the ritzy now...

Any recommendations for someone who could help me with my garden - general clean up and some planting. Thanks,

And what about longstanding Picturehouse members? I've been a member since Year Dot, but bet I don't qualify to attend the opening. It's a bit like those offers from mortgage lenders who have great rates for newcomers...

Hello EDF

(that is ED Forum and not anything else!)

Are there any groups that get together to play chess, scrabble or bridge? Can play the first two, would love to learn bridge. Thanks.

Can't see why the cinema won't last...I am someone who goes to the Ritzy at least fortnightly. Well, I'll stop that and go to ED instead once it opens. This is most probably what many existing members will do - shift location.

As a preventative measure - useful to mark things like laptops etc with the invisible ink marker that the police can give you and to take photographs of possessions, especially jewellery.

Apparently Mediterranean diets are good for us! Want an Italian caf?? There's one near where I work - Farringdon / Clerkenwell - old style and today full of Italians! Must be good! I only buy their products from the deli but it was full!

Why not call women's Aid and they might help you? Refuge addresses are kept confidential.

Wonderful! Am never moving out of ED...

Thanks everyone!

Hi all

Want to watch the England game tonight in a pub in ED. We are four women (of a certain age) and may even want to sit down! Any recommendations? PS: Not watched a game in the pub previously so excited at the prospect! Thanks.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good carpet fitter please? We have the carpet i.e. not looking to buy plus fit. Thanks.

Oh no...that's pretty awful...

Hello,

Can anyone help recommend a reliable person / firm to replace a gutter which came down in strong winds earlier this year? It is at "seond" floor level. Also, i need a glazier to replace a cracked double glazed window (the gutter hit it at an angle as it crashed).

Thanks a lot!
