Irony.


You see when you respond to a tired and dull enquiry with a hackneyed cliche, everyone gets the point except you. It's supposed to be tired and dull, that's the point deadhead ;-)


It's a meta-observation that diminishes the original enquiry in a friendly way without being patronising.


Therein lies the humour.


Are you for real?

Huguenot, do you really think that your responses ?diminish the original enquiry in a friendly way without being patronising?? I don?t think so.


I don?t know why the OP asked the question, but you seem to think that whatever their motivation a sensible response is not merited. Maybe they live on Frogley Road and are concerned for their safety, or for their property, or that they need to be at an appointment in 10 minutes and the coppers have blocked their car in. Or maybe they?re just nosy. Either way, I understood that the EDF welcomed practical discussion as well as idle gossip.


Remember, if people stop posting on here in case their post is deemed ?tired and dull? by the EDF elite, you?d have no-one to belittle and confuse with your pseudo-intellectual responses. Also, I think anyone who spends a lot of time on an internet forum is not best qualified to pass judgment on what is ?tired and dull?.

...nor I but it was phrased as an idle by-the-way kinda question and not a life or death panicking 'please inform me' deal

...hmm, they might just have mentioned that.

... they definitely would have mebntioned that (and possibly noted it on the "little things blah blah irrational rage etc." thread).

Yeppers!

Let's just say Huge does use the prefix 'meta-' far too much ;-)

Once twice thrice have I loved you

Before I knew your name

Slowly silently have I burnt

Consum?d in passions flame

When have I ever been

Without your thoughts my love

An entire universe having seen

In your eyes do I rest my love

Come settle on my lids like stardust

Sparkle like jewels rare sublime

Let all other thoughts fade as rust

Only you I treasure till the end of Time

20 years after I first read it, till makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up....


Rather at once our time devour

Than languish in his slow-chapt power.

Let us roll all our strength and all

Our sweetness up into one ball,

And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Thorough the iron gates of life:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Great post, spot on.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
