Big thanks to the lovely Polish guy who rescued me last night while I was carrying an item of EDF-gained furniture. He parked his car and carried the item the rest of the way home for me when he found it couldn't fit in his car! (Not so far, but far enough.) I told him all about EDF, of course.


And also to Amy, who is handing over her very nice piano to me, FOC. Again via the EDF. The excitement chez Louisiana is palpable.


I don't know where I'd be without the EDF and all our local lovely people. :))



Corrected to remove the impression that this guy had carried his own car.

Hear hear louisiana: in the space of a week, the EDF yielded me some home-delivered delicious meatballs, a fixed ipod that I thought would never work again, and a delightful lunch companion. All smiley and gratis (not that I usually pay my lunch companions, you understand).


Truly the forum cup, it runneth over.

RosieH, I believe what we are receiving is - technical term - 'care in the community' :)


SeanM, eater81 is an angry bot. *Most* of ED is about the nice stuff. Unfortunately, peeps tend to remember the nasty stuff and forget the nice stuff. Psychology, innit?

There is quite a bit of local strangeness too though, to be fair.


Twice I have been queueing in William Rose, to find someone has queued up to purchase just one "piece of bacon" and for clarity, I am talking a rasher of bacon here. What is going on?


Only in Dulwich...

Smiths? Sounds interesting. If you no longer require it, I might be up for that.


I've just got some simple stuff out of the library for now to test the depth of rust.


On the knees up front, I shall have to hone the skillz beforehand, which may take a little time... unless someone else is a skilled ivory tinkler.

Looking forward to the I can haz skillz.


Will see if I can dig it out.

Maybe he was Jewish ...


Actually, under Talmudic Law (see: The Mishnah by Pinhas Kehati, page 31), there is a limit beyond which an exception is recognised in respect of certain prohibited foods: it is usually an amount 'less than the bulk of an olive'.


I'm not sure whether that ruling applies in this case, though.


I've seen lots of people buy a single tomato, onion or piece of fruit. If that's all one needs, why buy more?


Perhaps the guy is on a strict one-rasher-a-day diet?

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
