Eg I saw somebody pass wind in the street. How dreadful.


Yes I agree. Isn't modern life dreadful.


I have to stop myself from making sarcky (aka witty) comments. But time for a serious debate as the great Mrs Merton Merton (RIP) would say. Has Malumbu got a point? Or should he just get back in his box.


It would be nice to have serious/thoughful comments please - I'll be the first to say that I am setting myself up here. Thanking you.

I actually just dropped in following a moment of boredom and cannot believe how things are on here now. Banal yes, but so many picky little fookers picking arguments with each other and setting up in opposition.

Are many original posters left?


Gonna stick to West Wickham Mums!!

A White van passed by my window about an hour ago.. It was sign written but did not catch what it said.

Also could not read the number plate as I did not have my glasses on because I had left

them upstairs in the bathroom.

My cat is terrified and is now hiding under the shed at the end of our garden.


Who can I report this incident too. ?

I jumped back 10 years by clicking on the 'Go To...Last' link on the Lounge thread headings page, it wasn't too far away, and a couple more clicks later I was there. Not as much fun as using the flux capacitor, but there you go.

I could hear Rihanna's "Umbrella" earworming away as I gazed at how exciting the threads were in those days. In fact it's inspired me to start this year's Wimbledon thread...

Isn't this entire forum mostly banal tripe nowadays? Most of the interesting folk were scared away, most of the intensely interesting disagreements we used to live by are now quashed by PC BS exacerbated by endless dishwater political crap. Even *Bob* left. I say no more.


Louisa.

The forum loses its effect after you've been using it a couple of years, as with most things in life (I would say by late 2009 / early 2010) but as with other things that you really enjoyed for a while you don't leave it alone until you have a really bad reaction.


Personally I'm happy with the low-level threads at the moment after all the terror and political nonsense recently. It means all's basically back to normal.


Forums are so ten years ago anyway.

That was your Laban thread you dyslexic doris - when you were going through your 'expressing-indifference-through-the-medium-of-dance' phase.

Most impressed with the quality of threads and posts since I set this thread up. Well done all. And please do see my other threads, the one asking for advice on gents shorts is a particularly impressive one.


So the council is planning to erect a new bus stop on a new route and have three options. An upper class area, a middle class area, and a working class area. They need to canvas local opinion so go door knocking. They start in the upper class area, no wait a minute, they don't have buses in upper class areas.


So they go to the working class area, knock on the door and get a bloody nose. So finally to the middle class area where the householder is very charming. And then complains afterwards to their other half and writes a letter of complaint (fast foward from when the illustrative story was first told to me, and replace letter with e-mail, tweet or community chat room).


Anyway people in glass houses etc as I have been guilty of the latter.

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
