I wonder if anyone would be up for a lunchtime meetup tomorrow (Friday 23 Nov) at a Wifi enabled place. I am at home for a few days (on holiday from work) but have a few computer related things I could do with Wifi....

I sometimes think that, but often people (inc me) want a bit of human contact. Sometimes you can strike lucky doing a search, sometimes you get a load of crap. I don't mind new treads repeating old topics - maybe there are different Yoga classes now. But I get annyoed with multiple threads at the same time.

Don't know if the following is of any interest : Zenoria in aragonese

Mark Might it be possible to make the dubious word checking a little less senstive. So rather than looking for a "rudeword" anywhere in the text it requires the word to be a complete word. In regexp speak this would be "\brudeword\b". You could then sell this to set up the S****horpe Forum :-)

It would help new users to leave a dummy thread behind when lounging. Whereas seasoned users wouldn't find it so useful - they will have cottoned on to the idea that threads suddnly migrate. I'd like to take a sideways step - an option only to view threads with new content. Then (if you selected this) you wouldnt see the dummy thread anymore.

local rail services - all stations near East Dulwich
OutOfFocus replied to Eileen's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Does anyone have a summary of the document. I downloaded it and get put off by the extreme size and turgedness of it :-( Presumably the faster trains from Denmark Hill to Victoria remain. But it is worrying if the service is reduced to 2 an hour. -
As promised the I have uploaded the photos. They are at http://www.flickr.com/gp/95486317@N00/cqGGPN Here is one picture to whet your appetite : As always, if anyone would like a photo removed please let me know.

I am sitting on a coach haivng been all day in Oxford. The photos are on my hardrive and whould be up tomorrow. Feel free to give me a gentle prod if they are not :-(

I find them extremely useful - and on a board like this when they are rendered graphically :) so they are likely to be understood. But the problem in email is I don't always know if they will be understood by the reader. So I would tend to use "!" or similar. The written word may have got by without it, but that is carefully crafted and considered- not a quickly dashed off email.

Maybe a feature to delete (or move to an archive forum) items when the item has been sold, or a wanted item has been found.

Commercial Planning Applications
OutOfFocus replied to Ultraconsultancy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Very useful link, UC. Is it possible (or necessary) for a place to have more than one category - eg if a shop is also involved in distribution would it need a B8 Storage or distribution -
I have answered on a thread reflecting the current name of the pub http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,41281

I will start a new thread to remove the historic title. Harry asked where the Ivanhoe is - There is a pub in Ivanhoe road called "Hoopers Bar". It is clean & airy sels a couple of real ales. It opened (in its current form) about 6 months ago. It used to be called the Ivanhoe and had been closed for a few years. It is at http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105751176061361069046.00000111c73717bb00253&z=13&om=1

> the Idea of a ginger left handed > evening doesnt sound so implausible Drat - I am left handed but not ginger haired. How about left handed male dyslexic knitters? (I am all of those) Seriously, when the idea of Gay Drinks was mentioned some time back I wondered why it was needed and felt it a bit exclusive. I agree with Sean's idea that it is a theme, I now feel happier with the idea of going though havent quite plucked up the nerve.

Fracas on the number 40 this morning.
OutOfFocus replied to Doodles's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The assumption always seems to be that Conductors ca only operate on Routemasters. Why cant they operate modern buses? -
Just to clarify, the GLA does now control the tube - see http://www.london.gov.uk/help/faq.jsp#tube and http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/modesoftransport/londonunderground/1576.aspx. Ken's annoyance was that the guvm'nt ensured that PPP was in place before transferring it to TFLs control. Thus there are details of the way it is managed that is done in a way that TFL and GLA don't want.
