what happened today? Helicopter & police around Forest Hill Rd (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

Have a quick gin to steady your nerves DM.


The story is true, but it was a few days ago on the 16th.

An inpatient from a secure psychiatric unit absconded from King's while being treated. Obviously, it's not good news and shouldn't have happened, but I really don't think there's any need to be alarmed. His picture has been published in the national press, if you see him use your common sense and don't approach him, but do call the police.

so thats why theres never enough cops around, the met have spent all their money on flying cars.

I get fed up with the police telling us that the public should not approach

when some maniac gets out and about amongst us. I think they should be advising us

to get stuck into the bleeder if we fancy our chances and if said maniac gets a little banged-up

then so be it.


It's nanny stateism gone mad, I tell you.

I find the "ooohs" and "aaahs" and gasps of horror and fear at this chap's escape hilarious! I mean, does anyone really believe for one moment that, had this chap not escaped, there would be no other violent rapists on the streets of South London????? This reaction reminds me a little of the society in Demolition Man where, until Wesley Snipes turned up, there was no-one in the city who would even curse in public. I don't think that the addition of one more convicted offender to the vast swarm of criminality on out city's streets provides any more reason to lock our doors than we had already.

I was referring, dear Anna, to the "OHMYGOD!" from DM and the "Oh Jesus..." from Madworld. Perhaps I interrupted a prayer meeting but I assumed their comments were in relation to the escaped convict :-)

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
