Having read Ted Max's* brilliant little vignettes AND seeing the responses to same, I would like to inaugurate the


FOTM - Forumite of The Month


award...


and nominate Ted


(of course, if it follows football's Manager of teh Month award he will have a shocker of a November


For future awards maybe we could have some rules ? Nominees to be forwarded in the last week of a calendar month and the winner announced early the following month?


* maybe it's already been discussed but only by typing his name have I realised where he lives - doh!

I think the above nominees are indeed worthy, but have to say that Ted's narrative on the CPT thread has me hooked and he should be the inaurgural Forumite Of The Month.


I've also just fallen in about Ted's whereabouts after seeing Sean M's post again.

I'd always thought of TM as a very big fan of rock 'n' roll, in fact I shall continue to do so.

"yawn" as in the very concept?

"yawn" as in Ted Max's pieces are boring?

"yawn" as in you have gone to the trouble of not making any clear point on a thread that doesn't interest you?


Disagree by all means but try and make it clear what excatly it is yuo are disagreeing with and why. Just so we can bore you less next time if nothing else



yeah I did think of that as well - but then I figured I have no idea who you are from Adam so how could it be so...? I'm going entirely on your posts.


If some people want to think it's an exclusive club I have long lost the will to go around correcting them - some people believe what they want to believe


Maybe the idea is destined for the bin...but for now...

In which case, purely in the interests of inclusiveness, I'll move my vote to Scorpion who after 20 odd posts in the wanted section/song game, not so much dips her toes in the water but jumps in shouting GERONIMOOOOOO, in the new cooking thread.


Hats off, and a thoroughly readable post it was too.

I say the award stands and is granted on the seventh of each month.

As for the possible accusations of cronyism, lets not give a fig about it.

Do you think the the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences frets abouit people wondering if they're a bit too matey for their own good?

Does the Booker Prize committee worry whether the great unwashed make slighting remarks about the their long lists and short lists?

Do you think George Clooney lies awake worrying when it's hinted that some of his films might just be a bit of a jolly-up for him and his 'buddies'?

The answer to all of the above is, do they buggery.

If someone even hints there might be some some sort of elitist shennanigans going on, on the EDF, tell him quietly and firmly to go shit in his hat.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
