Hello all,


I'm on a journalism course at the moment and one of the assignments is to interview someone who has had a life changing experience or an interesting life - which could include having an unusual career or career change, an unusual event happen to them, or something out of the ordinary.


If you have an interesting story to tell, I would love to have a chat with you about it as the basis for my article. Please get in touch if you would like to participate or would like to nominate someone you know or if you would like to find out more. It is not for publication (just for the purposes of my assignment) but who knows, if the article is good and you want it published we can always look into it?


I look forward to hearing from you

You know the ten o?clock watershed? The one where a person cannot be held responsible for anything they say in a pub after 10 o?clock? Well it?s a bit like that but backwards and with less beer. Also it doesn?t necessarily have to involve a pub.

I once got very drunk in my twenties and was unable to board a tube train so I just sat on a seat until I could focus. Eventually, when yet another train pulled in, I mouthed the word 'help' to a female who saw me. She got off the train and took me all the way home to my front door. Lovely girl from Rome. Never met her again.


Given that constituted just a few hours of time I suppose I can't claim to have had an interesting life and for all I know Italian girls may make a habit of doing this sort of thing so it may not even be unusual.


I also met Phil Lynott.

He was an all-rounder back then... either that or all this was before Huge got prescription lenses. Unknowingly indeed.

Okay, and this is going to sound weird, but it's a true story.


Back when this forum was invented (before the telephone) El Pibe and StraferJack made me pay them ?32.71 a day to not reveal to Quids where I lived. It wasn't about the Euro, they provided cast iron truth that Quids was Aled Jones, and he was going to kill me.


Now it all seems silly, but honest truth, you go back and read some of his comments, and he really sounded like the Anglesey crooner. With a knife.


You go ahead, believe what you want. Those guys are not what they make themselves out to be.

Surely not Gloucestershire ?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
