Yep I went to the Mag last night - very comfy

I'd never use them again. I wrote on a different thread a while back my reasons why. Also check you don't incurr any fees from whoever your cancelling. I've just got virgin broadband, phone (plus evening and weekend free calls) and a basic tv package for ?29 per month with a free installation deal. Broadband is fibre optic so is reliable and fast. That said we had the most shocking customer service which i won't go into full details because it's boring to everyone else and just makes me furious but the services work well (now that they have eventually been installed and a bonus that this time round the installation man didn't turn up over 12 hours late verbally abuse us and not install everything because he couldn't be bothered).

Oh good grief. What were the results Andy?

Oh wow I have the croc dundee running over heads background music in my head now and I really want to watch the film now too! Perhaps a race for Matthew versus Loz to see who gets to Trafalgar square fastest is in order?

never heard of such a thing

fake dog poo...

I was also very suspicious but I thought just incase it did happen to be genuine it was best to offer advice. I think the person who did it is a sad nobber who needs to re-evaluate their approach to how they live their life. Just my 2 cents worth.

I didn't think you need a travelcard for just train routes though Loz? There used to be able to get weekly train passes to london terminals which would definitely be cheaper than a travelcard but a bit more than a bus pass. I still vote train but if you live near a bus stop and not the train station then maybe bus is best for you newbestfriend.

Hello I have a similar question so i thought I might as well ask it in an existing thread. How horrible do you think it would be to travel to and from Perival Station for work? It's in zone 4 west end of the central line. There's a job that I was thinking of applying for but the journey looks horrible. To me it seems I'd have to get the train from ED to LB, jubillee to bond street then cental out to perivale which including walking either end would probably be 1.45 ish if there aren't any problems. Is there a better route? TFL is not helping me with this one!

Definitely Asset's route.

Wow andystar what a good story, in every workplace there is a weird toilet issue of some sort! My desk used to be next to the toilet and one of my excolleagues was on the lighterlife liquid diet thing and he'd spend a minimum of 2 hours a day splattering the loo and sighing very loudly and giggling at whatever reading material he had chosen. He never took any of our hints, we'd hide the loo roll, turn the radio on loud when he went in, shut the door really loudly but nothing would change his habits until he was forced to resign for never doing any work. There was a toilet one floor up with no desks anywhere near it. SeanMG I don't generally walk past where you mention but it sounds very annoying. At least you get a snapshot into the lives of the mystery bin-bag peoples lives! The term pavement oysters is making me feel a bit ming.

Yep, there are definitely far worse things. I will beware the snott goblins from now on!

Ooh i've been moved to General ED issues. Sorry I thought it was not serious enough so I put it in the lounge. Thanks for moving me.

Does anyone else walk past the sick splatter to and from work everyday? Everytime I forget it's there then I see it and get annoyed at myself for forgetting. If it was you about 3 weeks ago who threw up on the pavement about half way up Melbourne Grove please go and wash it off. It must be stuborn stuff because the rain hasn't washed it away yet.

Sorry to paste such a long bit of text but I did put the link in on the first page somewhere. I would (in theory could be different in practice) pop into the bank (if it is one rather than just a cashpoint) and enquire what would happen. If they'd look at cameras or have some way of identifying who's money it is then I'd hand it over. If they couldn't do anything useful I'd go to the police station and hope no-one claimed it so I could keep half give half to charity.

Crimestoppers. They'll have no way of knowing it was you Lewishamman. I think you'd feel a bit better after speaking to them. Chances are the police already know about the place anyway. Also I don't think you need to be scared of them, they probably don't even know you can hear and see what's going on. Not nice to have on your doorstep though. Best of luck.

I hope your wife doesn't read this thread and discover you think she's daft. Hopefully they'll leave you alone now.

ooh i'm likeing the new sections and slick tabs. thanks edf behind the scenes magic makers!

Ah yes the council do sub-contract a lot to Morrison. It's awkward to ask for ID sometimes too. I hope you won't let this incident affect you too much - there are lots more good people out there than bad.

I took it to mean he let them in then one distracted him in another room while the other one riffled around and stole the items. Don't know why I came to that assumption though.

Oh that is crap. Council workmen/workwomen all wear southwark council polo shirts I think and they should all carry photo ID.

Happy birthday Keef and Val/Mrs Bob S

I have also been worried about this but for a slightly different reason. I did have a week off about a month ago because I had some kind of flu but I was never tested so I don't know if it was the swine variety or not but given the season it seems likely. My boss has decided that i did have swine flu but now i'm worried that if it wasn't and i do get it he'll think I lied last time. But... someone said that if it mutates enough then in time it's possible you'll catch it again anyway. Confusing.
