Oh I do hope so. I'm rather in awe of Jah's technical piccy fiddling abilities too. I can't even take a photo on my phone without *rsing it up!

So they have banned it and drawn more attention to it as a result! Well, I reckon we can expect more 'news' like this before May arrives from all sides of the political spectrum.


And I am by no means a fan of Cameron, Osbourne et al..but aren't there more Etonians/public school-educated politicians in the current Cabinet/Labour party than the Conservatives(?) :-S


(Edited: to mean public school, as in privately-educated).

Yeah I know. I work with a few of you. And while the nepotism can sometimes be irksome at least military old boys networks 1) unusually contain individuals who actually see themselves as part of society and not a set apart ruling class and 2) They normally don?t have the intention or power to manipulate the work and money I invest in the country that I live in to their own personal gain.

Hmmm, the earliest online reference I can find is 2003 from a chap who had the temerity to use it to describe his own aphorisms. Pride before a fall eh?


Since this fair forum started only October 06 it seems that claim too just eludes me.


I just made up a word, 'spunt', but some other blighter's already copyrighted that too. Cockbonnet? No, that's gone too...

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
