When does the next lot start? (You know, the ones we're supposed to be equally enthused about, the ones we say we're looking forward to with the same relish, the ones where the word 'courage' will be used a lot by the press, the ones we really don't give a t*ss about that come after the main ones).

The paralympics are two weeks away.


In all fairness I don't think the public are expected to be as interested in the paralympics as we are in the main event. The olympics features athletes competing at the peak of human ability, which the paralympics cannot really claim. But that's not to say that it's not a huge acheivement to get there, and talk of 'courage' shouldn't be dismissed as hype.

Never underestimate the 'Bounce' eh?


"What a great party, shame it's coming to an end."


"Hey I know an all-night cafe where we can go!"


"Yeah and they serve beer if you buy a plate of chips!"


"The fun doesn't have to stop now!"


"Let's go!"

I've got some tickets for the athletics and didn't think about there being wheelchair races. I thought they would be more like blade runners, so it will be interesting to see what different types of disabilities the athletes have that compete. I don't rememeber ever watching a paralympics.

ooohhh! I've got tickets for the wheelchair basketball. They were cheaper than the value of the travelcards they sent me!

      Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

      Harvey and Wheeler in Dulwich Village? Only one I know… How can they offer to apply and never did? Surely; whether they are managing the property or not and with tech been so advanced I would have thought they would have been a couple of e mails sent as a reminder or, is it the Landlord’s responsibility to apply… Rental Law/ Bill has just come  into force  - can’t remember if it was this week or last and have been to busy to read.. However, will as assume it is not individual councils but all councils. Came up on Which on line.. Good point Jen Jen Jen - sure some knowledgable person on here can throw more light than I.

      Does this mean then that anybody who rents out their home in East Dulwich needs one of these licenses? And does everyone of these landlords have one?
