I received a private message last week from a bloke in the US who'd been searching in vain for a way to contact an old university pal he'd had many years ago. He'd put me into Google and found a posting on this site with both her and my name in it, sent me a PM and I then sent it onto my friend, who's now in contact with him. She'll be meeting him in NYC when she goes there to see her family later this month. Awwww. Nero

I'm always up for dipping my toes into the open waters of online stuff, but at the same time I'm also aware that it does allow for snooping on a most intimate scale, if one so desired.

Forums like this one, MySpace, Friends Reunited, Facebook.. the list will no doubt continue to expand.. and the more stuff you're 'on', the more personal info you put into the public domain.

I haven't been to any of the forum meet-ups, but I already know what a dozen or so of the regulars look like. It's a strange feeling walking past someone you've never actually met - yet you've seen their wedding photos. It's downright pervy.

I think things like facebook are kinda like a village where everyone knows each others business. Except with online comunities nobody actually interacts face to face.


In a place like London where everyone is so afraid of social interaction one hopes that shit like this can do some good and maybe bring people together.

    • As I understand it, Poundland itself  has been saved (and is reassessing what it sells and its pricing strategy) but nevertheless is getting rid of a quite a few stores, including the ED one. There was a thread on here about it before it opened, and Lordship Lane always seemed to be a very odd choice of location for what used to be called a "pound shop".
    • But without knowing why they were removed, I don't see how we can comment. Does anybody know the reason?  I thought Malumbu's post was useful information, given the subject matter of this thread  I didn't think it was patronising.
    • Milo came home briefly last night but was unsettled and incredibly wary of us. We know he's be staying at other people's homes on and off over the summer, and this is very unsettling to him. If he's coming to yours for food or inviting himself in for the night, please turn him away or put him back out. He has a home, he is loved, and he is well looked after when he is here. He probably goes elsewhere as he not a huge fan of his medications or diet, but he has those for a reason. If he's not here, we can't make sure he stays well or be sure he's safe.
    • I would 100% recommend Silvano for anyone looking to learn to drive for the first time or refresh their skills. I took lessons with him after not driving for over a decade and Silvano got me back to driving confidently much more quickly than I thought possible. He’s super friendly and a great & patient teacher. Couldn’t recommend him more!
