*Steady Old Man, that creature isnt muzzled and could easily turn savage - see late notes on the "Dog Attack" thread - one wrong glance and the thing becomes a killer ... and the labrador could give you a nasty nuzzle as well*


*Tentatively feels DM's nose - cold and ... wet (yuk!)*


*Clearly she is out for the count, hearing champage being poured close by normally brings DM round from the deepest coma*


*Bends down and whispers into DM's shell-like - "Gary Barlow is nearby and is in need of a cup of tea and slice of cake" - stands back*

*darkness reigns*


*enters barefoot and clad in pyjamas, and waveringly holding aloft an improbable candle*


(In trembling voice) Puss, is that you making that strange scratching noise? I thought I heard you fighting with a fox earlier...and I saw a sinister figure outlined in the windowframe for a second, but decided it was probably just Mockney. Now I think I'll wander deeper into the darkness without telling anyone where I'm going...are those cellos playing?


*trips over limp body sprawled on the rug*


DM!? No!!!! Oh, the tragedy, what a fate! Has she had her last alcopop? Extraordinary, she has a smile on her face, perhaps she was welcoming her killer into the Quiet Room just as the blow fell!


*a shadowy figure on the sofa uncrosses its legs, stands up gracefully and stalks forward.*


(In relieved tone) You here? Thank goodness, I think someone may have killed Dulwichmum! What's that in your hand? But, but....


*turns to camera, and in perfectly pitched soprano honed by years of training*


SCREAAAAAM!!!

"OHMYGOD! I have one of my heads..."


*Looks up wisfully from floor, clutching head shrouded in lush glossy dark hair...*


"Whatever has happened here?"


"Oh officer! You really are frightfully manly, I love it when a chap can sweep a woman up into his large and hairy arms. Let me see your hands sweetie, you have fingers just like William Rose sausages, yum!"

*Lawks! D-M we have a mystery on our hands. Forget your swoonings over hairy sausages, for we must search for Moos*


*I was in the anti-chamber sipping on camomile tea and nibbling on a Rich Tea, waiting for your to recover from your "swoon" when I heard a piercing and rather discordant screech come from this very room. Assuming that you were seeing the giant mauve axolotle called "Turpin" again - I dashed in*


*Now we find that DM is safe, save a hang-over and insipient nymphomania, and Moos has disappeared in her jym-jams*


*Moos-minor will be distraught and Mr Moos, being German, will be a little distracted; his Prussian dueling scars will have gone pink and he will be twiddling with that odd shaving brush thing in his hat*


*This is a case for ..... The Thin Man - for it is I, nearly, if I breath in and put my corset on*

*I did wonder where you were going with this Moos - I mean you disappeared first and thus removed yourself from the potential plot*


*Now, stop messing about, you cant be dead, your chest is moving, I have observed it closely*


*Does Herr Moos have Duelling scars perchance?*


*Have a schnaps and a slice of Battenburg while you ponder the matter*

Mr. Moos is not a Prussian duellist, he's a perfectly ordinary (if remarkably handsome) 21st century Londoner who happens to have been born in a North German city, so don't you put your racist stereotypes on my man - ooh, Battenburg, LECKER.


*undermines well-meant finger-wagging lecture by scoffing inordinate amounts of cake*

  • 2 weeks later...

*careful Kel, i've been sitting here in the dark for a week now all on my own*

*enjoying the silence that is the Quiet Rooom*

*supping a beer or two (jeysus, are those really all my bottles?)*

*Just watch out for the "cultures" in the corners*

*if you listen carefully you can hear the muffled sounds of the Forum up above.....*

*still, if you must, open a blind or two*

*then come and have a drink*

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
