If there's such obvious drug dealing going on has anyone thought of calling the Police?? Not much they can do if they're not aware it's happening!

For the attention of any black cat owners Underhill Road/local area. Having just driven down Underhill Road I noticed a dead black cat on the pavement at the top of the hill opposite the cemetery/near the new flats with the see through curtains. Certainly not a nice sight but thought I'd make any cat owners in the area aware.

In response to an earlier comment: do you honestly think that youth spending cuts make a shred of difference to young people who carry guns? Surely there's many deeper and far more complicated social and cultural factors that have attributed to this gun culture we're now seeing?? Seems so easy and pretty harsh just to point the political finger. Anyway, just to clear up a common misconception, Trident attend and investigate all shootings in London and not just those within the black community.

Slightly off topic but anyone else seen Richard Grieve on the train/getting off at Peckham Rye?? quite a bizarre feeling sitting in front of someone you used to watch on T.V as a child! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/975156/Emmerdale-controversy-Boss-criticised-For-axing-characters-Anita-Turner.html

Anyone else think it's a tad weird that the reporter uses a hotmail account to be contacted on?? Surely he would use his Southwark news account when doing business??

Sam is a brave guy - hats off! What was he suppose to do, let the thieving s*** just walk away with two new t.v's??? Wouldn't it be a sad society if we just turned a blind eye. Thieving is thieving and you need to be dealt with accordingly.

Keane - Hopes and Fears. A simply stunning record.

Does anyone know if an iPhone can still be used even when your provider has disabled it?? Surely apple/blackberry could do more to render their phones useless when disabled? This would stop this kind of thing over night!

Unfortunately Damien, London is a hugely demanding place to Police especially in an inner Borough such as here in Southwark. The police don't have an infinite number of uniformed officer to deal with calls and many calls they respond to take time to report/deal with properly. So to be honest yes I can believe that sometimes the police do take a while to respond or have no one to send. Cant we just give them our support instead of criticising what is an incredibly challenging job?? Just an idea.

Paid ?11 for a pint in Dubai last year - funnily enough I didn't get p****d that night!! Beat that!

You could go to adventure bar........ or not.

Am I the only AFC Wimbledon fan living in ED? Just wondered really! Up the Dons. Oliver

It's a long shot but how about speaking to the bar/pub owner and possibly viewing CCTV? looks like you've nothing to lose. To be completely honest I'm a little bit sceptical when people say they had their drinks spiked. I'm really not doubting what any of the above posts are saying but know from my own experiences of drinking. I often find that various factors (how tired I am, what and how much I've eaten, what mood I'm in, do I feel fatigued etc etc) can make a massive difference as to what effect a few bevvy's might have. Anyway, I hope you're friend is ok. My mate had a similar experience about 2 years ago whereby we had a modest amount of beers (certainly not a session) and he became worryingly sick: constant vomiting for 3 hours, triple vision,the feeling of being out of body. An aweful experience for him and his mates!

Stating the obvious I know but have you thought about spending a few hours going around the local jewellers, cash converters etc etc?? You never know!

Out of interest what kind of lock did you have? Thieving bas*ards.

went to the CPT the other night for a cheeky beer and paid ?4.10 for a pint Staropramen lager. Anyone else think that's a bit much? Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Apparently she shouted "how dairy" at a security guard when he grabbed her arm. I'll get me coat.

If anyone wants me to pee in/around there gardens on Friday night let me know, would about midnight be ok when I'm staggering back from LL?? I knew there had to be a use for urine one day!

The idiot drivers will still be treating Barry Rd like a racetrack so I'm of the opinion that road " improvments" will make little difference - hopefully I'll be wrong!

What a fantastic story this is and love the pic. Would never have thought we'd have owls around here, just presumed it was too busy/built up. I'll keep my eyes peeled from now on!

Hi Guys. On one of my frequent trips on the No 12 several months ago I overheard two TFL fellas discussing the end of the bendy in Feb/March this year. Apparently the oyster system just isn't cost effective 'cos so few people pay for the service/bother swiping their Oyster cards. Anyone know if this is this the case? For some bizarre reason I actually like the bendy buses but always amazes me how few appear to swipe in when climbing aboard. Also love it when revenue inspectors get on and there's a mass exodus for any available door!

Another burglary, this is worrying. Out of interest what was there method of entry?
