I was in a card shop today. Boy, do they have all the bases possible covered. Father's day cards...


- for fathers

- for stepfathers

- for fathers to be ("a card from the bump" - I jest not)

- for the person "who was like a father to me"

- for grandads

- for grandads who are having their first father's day as a grandad

- for an uncle (???)

- for "my fianc?" (??????)

- from the dog

- from the cat

Bless him, but...


Kids like to do stuff and it's pretty harmless


Or rid ourselves of Easter and Christmas while we're at it

Me too. But when they are young can't you say no! Just told my teenager no, but then said why not bake me a cake.


Not a fan of mothering Sunday either as this is supposed to celebrate mother church.


Perhaps we should be nice to our parents every sunday!

Even that sounds creepy


But anyway, here we go


That card is a just odd, because who stands on a road (in silhouette) surrounded by sand dunes, in the middle of no-where saying "I love you, Daddy"


It should be followed by

"WTF are we doing standing in the middle of the road, what would mummy say abou that? You know how she's very strong on using the crossing points. I wonder if it's this along with other things that Mummy talks about and why you now live at Grandma's house"


Plus they look like they've levitated a couple of inches of the Tarmac

    • Also, is he chipped/neutered? Will impact on how far he's likely to have wandered. Lost cat advice here: https://www.cats.org.uk/help-and-advice/lost-found-and-feral-cats/lost-a-cat
    • @Rockets : No one has changed the definition of 'consultation' or 'referendum', or switched the terms. They are different things and have different meanings. You can even check this in a dictionary if you're not sure about it. Regarding the most recent consultation (at least the one I assume you're referring to), it was about the design of the Square. It was not a consultation on the existence of the LTN itself, despite (again rather desperately and a little embarrassingly) some people pretending it was, and encouraging others to do the same. As for One Dulwich, I think what vexes people has been very clearly articulated, and very conspicuously ducked by those cheerleading the latest missive: Firstly, they're claiming that people are accidentally driving through the square because of bad signage / lack of clarity. This is both ridiculous and ironic. Ridiculous because no sensible person could possibly believe it to be true, and ironic because they've objected to any updates to the layout (instead trying to turn a consultation on the design is a rerun of the LTN consultation itself which closed several years ago, as noted above). Secondly, they've claimed that someone has been pressurising the emergency services, yet fail to say who, or how. You seem to have suggested it may be the involvement of the 'far left' 😄 Anyway, It's all very tedious. If you want to improve signage, engage in that conversation, instead of trying to reopen debates that have finished. If you're going to claim intimidation of the emergency services, you probably want to give details and have some evidence. And if you think someone can drive through the square by mistake, you may want to question what you consider to be safe and competent driving. 🤣
