Came home about 5:15pm on Sunday to find police all over the place following what I think was a stabbing on Sydenham High Street. If rumours are correct, the victim ran to the station to call for help on the emergancy line, so out road which leads to the station was a crime scene, and we wern't allowed in to our house, and were told we might not get back in that night.


Luckily after several hours in the pub, the police were gone, and we were able to go and pass out!


Then came in to work on Tuesday to a team meeting in which my manager announced he will be leaving. We asked where he was going only for him to look at my a bit weirdly before announcing that he would be going to the job that I was "pipped to" just before Christmas!!! Wouldn't mind, but he kept it totally quiet, and it sounds like it was a done deal before the interviews ever happened. He could have told me and saved me the bloody wasted day off for the interview!!!


That one wasn't so weird, but thought I'd get it off my chest.

Is that all the cat owners who are so careless with their moggies that they keep going missing? At least some pics of feline road-kill might enable some of these distraught owners to identify their wayward pussies and get closure on the whole thing? Bit more user friendly than going down to the kitty-morgue, having an assistant browse through all the refrigerated drawers before he pulls back a sheet from the body in order for the distraught owner to nod and sob hysterically:


"Yes, that's Snuggles!"

By the way, just in case you think I am heartless, the bluebottle in the photo, whose grisly fate has been plastered on this forum in fully techni-color detail was my pet, little Buzzy. He was great, he was! We used to sit on plates of meat together, vomiting and voiding. Aaah, the memories!

A friend of mine lost her glove on a a bus, she called up the bus people who said they'd call her back, and they did saying they had found it. She went to the depot that evening and found that


a) it was where they said it was

b) it was open and staffed

c) they had her glove.


most unlike public services if you ask me.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
