not really. but i'll take your word for it. I'll never use it without sounding like a twat, but happy to stand corrected.


And just to clarify, I never denied the existence of the word math.

I was skeptical that math as a singular of the plural maths was real, mathematics being a noncountable noun it makes no sense to have a singular. You can't say one mathematic, two mathematics, so why would the short forms change the meaning?


Are you making math = single calculation up?

The Oxford dictionary does change over the years. A bit like the borders of Peckham and East Dulwich. It seems that John will cling to the past when it suits his purposes, but is happy to take an update when it helps him to "prove" a point.


The actual word is mathematics.


"do the math" is a term used by idiots.

Thing that impresses me about DB is that he refused to give up. He was trying everything fir years before finally hitting the jackpot with Ziggy.


I tend to agree with El Pibe / Atticus though. There are some great tracks, but I've never been able to get in to him in a big way.

EP, Mozza would have put out an EP when under pressure to do so. And with Hay!

And like as not had sketches made of the two of them and their collaborators and distributed among the cognoscenti.

Early MTV if you will.


Mozart also may have glanced toward Haydn and ventured "I have a notion concerning a musical project, the concept of which is an engine of general sorts made of base metal and of..."


Joseph informed him "Enough with the metal nonsense, already Wolfgang, go with what you're doing it's not enough you should make your mother proud"?

"Act like a mensch"!

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
