No, I hadn't noticed until this thread started and i was thinking is there anything i say alot. Of course now i'm really concious about it and am trying to curb my "how funnies" :)

The Open Uni (Perhaps i should start a thread on my Ou experiences) is also causing me to say


"Ah yes, dear sweet Poesy" - I tend to say it when I notice the Poetry thread has been updated - altho' I am also on the verge of saying it when the limericks thread gets updated

have a really bad jim bowen-esk affliction, where by at work when ambulance crews/parents/colleagues are telling me what the injury/illness is with the child they're with or looking after I seem to say "ok, great" or even worse "super" - think its more that my brain's whirring and working out what needs doing and the "super" comes because I know exactly what I need to do.


In a similar vein yesterday I went "wha-hey" when the Dr said a child had got a broken arm as I'd correctly spotted the injury and ordered the x-ray before he'd seen them. As I'd told the mum initally I'd thought it was broken and why, she wasn't too upset to see me "wha-hey-ing"!

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
