It's just a bit of fun.

Let's not start with the computer-code-knowing dickswinging thing.

If the full url wasn't shown (posted as a link) then I guess it wouldn't have been such a giveaway.


Someone did this to me and managed to make up a fake BBC news webpage, with my pic embedded in it (dynamic, like this - taking the pic also from facebook). Now that was clever, and caught me out for a while! The headline was "Person wanted for questioning".

This person has more spare time on his hands than I do.


Is he available for lunchtime drinking?


Anytime after 11am will be fine, thinking about it.

Come now, AcedOut.. I think everyone knows what little time computer tekkie types actually spend working.


A rough job breakdown would be:


15% explaining to 'civilians' how difficult it will be to accomplish the task they've been set.

5% doing the job itself.

80% on Facebook, general dickswinging and Googling ex-girlfriends.

It is definitely not downright dangerous.


We do not want to stop people linking to other websites in their messages and, as in this case, it is on another website that the script runs. We cannot be responsible for other websites and their contents as there are rather a lot of them. I would however recommend that people keep their internet browsing software up to date (FireFox 3 is especially recommended) as their increased security may help those worried by malicious scripts.


Security on the forum is reviewed frequently and any issues we discover are addressed immediately.

    • If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.
    • Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox. 
    • ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
    • If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.
