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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
