No, none of the above


I was in Sydenham Woods at the time of the incident


So I adopted the "in the field" technique of first aid. Mainly, I swore a bit and squeezed it, then I sucked it until the blood stopped & I got bored


It's changed my typing style (ha-style)


I'm now drinking coffee

I have this weird mental picture of someone performing CPR on your arse. I have to say, it's quite rude...

I blame the underwear Ms.B. It's the underwear. Proper underwear would have protected you from this type of thing I'm sure.

It was twelve thirty-sixish pm on Sunday. I was returning home after an unexceptional visit to Halfords.


I parked the car on the paved-over font garden that we in the suburbs refer to as ?the drive? and made my way to the front door.


Midway through the second step of the three it takes to do this my nostrils were assaulted by that instantly recognisable smell best described as, ?drains?.


Further investigation, which involved the shifting of a manhole cover and the ejaculating of a few swear words, revealed a particularly unpleasant subterranean problem in the sewer.


?I?ll call the plumber about it tomorrow.? Said my wife, and long-suffering protagonist in my Saga Conditio Humana.

I'm pretty sure it's not as I don't go purple in the face coughing when I have hayfever, and anyway no normal pollen could make it through the torrents of snot. Plus several people I know had something similar that lasted a month or so. Only another few days to go then.


Alan Medic, I've been coughing so hard I suspect it's only the sensible underwear preventing a prolapse and total incontinence.

    • 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! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
