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.

    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
    • Paul's on lordship lane is a good place for garden plants.  He is based near the old harvester on the opposite side of the road he offers good advice on which plants will grow in different positions etc.  
    • I've read this thread and made notes! So many useful tips! Would anyone have a recommendation for  a place that sells good quality topsoil that would also be able to drop from a tipper? 10 cubic meters minimum. Thanks in advance and any further advice on garden centres with good selection of shrubs/climbers would be welcome, I plan to visit them all. Garden is fully dug up with drainage just put in. 
    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
