Not sure how you would identify a special ops model in the sky? Surely they are the ones that are quieter and fitted with additional surveillance & communications kit?


Maybe the SAS / SBS / 14th Int detachment are thinking of busting a Christmas Eve party - or abseilling into a carol concert?

Its Santa having a look where there are no longer Chimney Stacks to climb down.

Looks like you will have to stand outside and catch your present from the Helicopter

as Santa has updated from his old sleigh.

It was prohibited as a health Hazard due to the droppings from overhead Reindeer.

Sweetgirl,

At 12.07 (as police noted the time) I was driving down Forest Hill Road and was almost hit full-on by a white/silver speeding car on the wrong side of the road i.e.. coming at me. He overtook a learner driver going towards Francesca Cabrini and took the front of his car off. The white/silver car was being chased by unmarked police cars. I stopped to give the driving instructor my details as a witness. The helicopter was pretty low at this point. Plain clothed police came pretty quickly. The poor learner was pretty shaken up. The driver wasn't stopping for anyone. I thank god that I didn't come round the corner a second or two later as he was driving like a maniac.

He could've caused mayhem with pedestrians, cyclists or maniac. Only when I got back in the car did I realise what a near-miss we'd all had !

There ya go! It's my old horse riding helmet so it gives added protection as well as stopping evil corporations from penetrating my brain and telling me what to buy and how to behave.....

    • Use to be a place in Clapham.. second hand
    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
