Didn't 'cool' stop being 'cool' by the end of the 90's?

The lane looks very quiet from my window opposite the police station but still a few buses going past - fingers crossed it stays that way. Edited for getting confused between the Palmerston and bishop - sorry I've removed that bit now!

I'm quite gullible - is that true?

I still don't know about this as I think it could scare the teens a bit or it could go the other way and they don't want to lose face infront of their friends so next time they could take a knife... Unlikely but possible.

I think (but I'm not entirely sure) it starts just before it crosses Oxford c so maybe outside oasis or possibly a bit further back. I've only got on at the second stop too - regretted it!

Incase you didn't know the 12 starts neat te library so you're guaranteed a seat but it does take ages. It's last stop is Oxford circus so you'll also get a seat on the way back but do get on first stop instead of the second as you might not get a seat.

We have a virgin phone, Internet and tv package. Have had problems with the iternet but as I like the tv catch up from virgin i don't want to switch. The call centre told me they'd upgraded something so Internet service should improve from now on - I won't hold my breath though.

I think it would be a nice change from yet another estate agent but I don't think you'd get much business here but you never know. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Yes we had something collected this week - think it was about 9days ish. It's a great service though so we didn't mind.

We had a quote for 2 options to either chop off 5ft or fell a and dispose of tree (had to be done for insurance reasons) and they were both ?100. Someone local, can't remember his name but just saying it shouldn't be too expensive. I personally am a fan of climbing trees and doing it myself very rewarding but as my neighbour pointed out the next day doing it in flip flops isn't very sensible.

I don't think anyone has been "shocked and stunned and crying for the police" or do you mean generally not for this specific thread? I suggested the possibility of leaving once the bottles were produced and letting the police know so they could go have a word. It just sounds like bored mouthy teenagers to me looking for some entertainment which someone rose to. exnorthener Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > but what i can not stand is the way that people a > shocked and stunned and crying for the police over > a minor little spat. 9/10 if you stand up for your > self nothing ever happens and people walk away > from you, its the way of the world darwin came up > with it! of course you can get shot stabbed abused > raped! but how do you want to live your life! like > a lamb waiting for bad things to happen to you ?? > or some one that is going to stand up for your > self! > > of course i can going to cop a lot of stick for > this! but so what! what would you tell your kids > to do at school?stand up for your self or go and > tell teacher that some one said they did not like > your hair? or to tell them to stick it ?

Wouldn't it have been better to leave at the bottles shown stage, rung the police with a description and let them deal with it? No point risking your life IMO for the sake of getting one up on a few teenagers.

Thanks texas. That starts in October 2011 though. Didn't know it would be happening though so thanks for the link. Will be great when it does happen. > > Have a look here > > http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_ > and_waste/2212/service_changes

I put my shredded papers and some other non shredded paper out in the blue bag yesterday and also put some glass in the box. Today found all the paper stuff tipped into the box. Te bag has gone but there was another bag under the box anyway so u don't think someone was just stealing the bag. I just don't understand why it's happened as it's shredded. I'm now going to have to fish out the soggy paper so I don't get told off for not having it in the bag! Anyone know why someone would do that? I'm stumped.

Eery now and again we lose or gain one - I usually wait to see if ours turns up or anyone take theirs back. I'm not surprised they get mixed up - they collect it all so fast. I think the refuse team do a great job.

I think it completely depends on what the subject is. If the essay is subjective then the people marking them can have very different viewpoints which can affect the marking. I don't think the amount they charge to attend has anything to do with it.

I'm glad that Greenwich have moved on! So if there will be some creep as in Herne Hill will residents within say a 15 minute walk of the station be included in any consultation? I hope so, as that would include me. Out of interest what do you personally think should be done, if anything?

Too late now but I recommended premiere plant hire in se24 last year: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,472144,472144#msg-472144

If there were permits you may find yourself having to drive/get a bus/train to queue up to get them a one day visiting permit from an office that is only open during office hours - would you prefer that? That's what I used to have to do in greenwich; of course I don't know the specifics of the scheme that would be put in place here.

James, will only the residents of those roads be asked for their opinion? I believe if it is given the thumbs up by them and the council then the problem will just shift along a few roads until most of ED is permitted.

I just don't understand why people think they can choose to live by the station then complain about parking - it's inevitable. I live on Lordship Lane, sometimes it's a bit noisy and I knew I'd have to park on a neighbouring round but I knew that when I looked round! Sorry for the mini rant I feel really passionately that permit parking is evil and will affect all ED residents.

Erm.. to me it means he was more than a bit lovely but not amazing? I didn't fancy him if that's what you mean! A nice guy. You have reminded me that when I get round to writing my latest service complaint email that I also need to say something nice about him.

We had the signal boosted from the box down the road the other day. We're on Lordship Lane opposite the police station - I have no idea if this means it's been boosted for all virgin users supplied by that box or just ours but just in-case I thought I'd post. I asked the technician (who was very lovely) if it was because there were too many users locally and he kind of dodged the question which makes me think they might have been told to not say they're over subscribed for capacity - I might be wrong though.

The problem with the don't go in a box junction unless your way is clear argument is you will sometimes never get a chance if you want to turn right and the other traffic coming from the other direction is turning left. That wouldn't be a problem if other people didn't go through Amber/red lights or fill up the lane they turn onto despite you waiting but they do. I am on the whole for making money from selfish driving / parking.

As a teacher (although secondary so I never get presents) I would welcome wine! I like the idea of homemade sweets or biscuits. I wouldn't over-think it and I don't think anyone would mind/notice if you didn't get them anything.

Yay. Well done to everyone involved. :)-D
