    emoticons

    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.
  3. 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.

I believe that was George Gilbert Scott, grandfarther of Giles GS so your scepticism is well placed And no - I am not a Gilbert Scott expert :-)

  6. 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
  7. I have answered on a thread reflecting the current name of the pub http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,41281
  8. 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

  10. > 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.
  11. Show off - we still have 3 to go (including the "C word") > anyone else addicted to > the saturday guardian cryptic? Particularly liked the one that that BULLET PROOF VEST in it a few weeks ago. We scratched our heads for ages over that one. > gotta love that Auracaria He used to be a Curate at St Johns ED, just to bring some local info in.
  12. The assumption always seems to be that Conductors ca only operate on Routemasters. Why cant they operate modern buses?
  13. 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.
  14. A few more at I particularly wonder what was being said Maybe a caption competition?
  15. Not to mention DVR and EDF
  16. Agree with Sean's points. I think there is a slight tension between the following items. I would suggest putting these two points next to each other and saying
  17. This thread looks like a candidate for delounging ;-)
  18. It is fairly clear that discussion can wander away from the original topic, and often the new topic is worthy of discussion. Sometimes it would be useful to quote the existing text and start a new topic (maybe in a different section - voluntary lounging). Something like XXXX said in thread "YYYY YYYY YYYY" > zzz zzz zzz zzzz zzzzz New content........ Of course this might be a lot of work and I guess it could be achieved manually.
  19. How would this work. Would there be a way of manually writing the name of the owner? (or by a suitable printer). I have been thinking about something similar in a different context. I have thought of printing somthing out on a colour printer then laminating it. Easy on day one when you have a list of all members but more fiddly for one by one joiners.
  20. In a valiant attempt to avoid lounging, I will return the the theme of the CH. In the previous incarnation it was tenanted - the Landord ran the pub and paid Young's for the privilege. It is now managed - ie run by Young's who pay the manager to manage it.
  21. Ok - I have overcome my lethargy and have posted the picutres at http://www.flickr.com/gp/95486317@N00/LH8Ns9
  22. Under what circumstances are bounces are requirment (if I am understanding you correctly).
  23. The trouble si that the operator lounge is idempotent.
