Mugged by the deaf

Afternoon all


Last Saturday night I was set upon by a gang of about 15 angry deaf people on the way out of the Bishop at closing time. They nicked my pone.


Anyone know who they were? Is there some kind of deaf society in Dulwich?


It's technically the most humiliating way to get mugged. At least there's some dignity when it's a gang of hoodies...


If anyone can shed any light I'd be ruddy grateful.


Ta!

I am totally serious! Definitely one of my most surreal Saturday nights. It was like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I tried to bargain with them outside, but communication was a little troublesome...


If anyone was out on Saturday and you can shed any light that'd be splendid!

It was late - like 2 or 3 am. Kicking out time in the Bishop basically. It was on the way out. One of them thought I was insulting them, so they all frantically sign-languaged each other and piled into me. One of them took my phone on the sly. It was a new samsung, so it'll fetch a pretty penny on ebay. MENTAL!

Actually I find it interesting that you are so surprised ebbrell79... I too have encountered large, noisy deaf groups behaving offensively - but actually, it's not so surprising, is it.... they represent a cross section of society, don't they? So you are as likely to find a bunch of t***ers amongst a deaf group, as you are hearing folk. And birds of a feather flock together - I'm sure that particular group 'bond' over many more things than simply being deaf. Why do we expect people with a disability to be well-behaved?


Anyway judging from his earlier post, my money's on Macroban...

Hi ebbrell79

I was in the Bishop with some mates on sat night although i left at around 11pm but I did see the group of deaf persons. I say group I only saw two really as we were not taking much notice of them. I'll check with my mates who I'm seeing tonight to see if they remember more clearly what they looked like and what time they left. I can remember one of them thinking 'you look far too young to be in a public house!'.

I'll check tonight and report back.

Bellenden - Um... I dont expect people with a disability to be well-behaved. That's not my point. They took my phone. I want it back. They could have been a rowdy bunch of abusive midgets for all I care. I just wondered if anyone knew where they might have come from...


They were 25 - 30ish I guess. There were a lot of them though. Probably somekind of Uni society or something...

Oh sorry ebbrell ... you really do have my sympathy and I really hope you get your phone back - I guess I was just responding to your first post: "It's technically the most humiliating way to get mugged. At least there's some dignity when it's a gang of hoodies..."


But I wasn't belittling your experience... I was just demonstrating how terribly liberal and East Dulwich I am. Sorry.

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

      The Office Party - how it used to be.

      That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
