Review on Amazon for their Fire Stick:


I bought this as an electronic babysitter, for my husband, who is five. Oh, wait, not five, 48. I was pig-sick of him watching Netflix on his mobile phone, with his netbook pinging up Facebook messages, with the TV on full blast, and the sound from his Netflix leaking out of his earphones, because he had that on full volume as well, to counter-balance whatever was happening on the TV he wasn't watching. It has worked a treat, as he now watches endless hours of crap on the big TV, while his netbook and phone ping Facebook messages at him, and he lies on the couch, re-arranging his crotch, and grunting.


The installation was easy, despite the fact that I only have full use of one hand, I didn't need any screwdrivers, and I'm not allowed hammers anyway. I did stand on an apple that the dog had taken behind the TV, for dog-reasons, and it squidged between my toes a bit, but I don't suppose that's a universal installation issue, not everyone having a dog that hides fruit behind the TV.


The plug-and-play nature of the device meant that I was able to install without asking for help from a man, and I didn't even break any fingernails. I'm relatively certain I've deleted any links to my social media from Amazon, so the husband won't be able to ferret about, at two in the morning, while he's watching something with boobs in, or yet another concert from the time period when I was being potty-trained, and see all of the nasty things I say about him.


For me, it has been ?35 well-spent, although the glut of adverts offering it for ?25 have been a bit of a kick in the crotch, I could have spent the extra ?10 on gin, but it would have been cheap gin, so there would have been no real gain.

I know I shouldn't laugh but ....


I was just going through my Christmas cards, and came upon one with just three kisses and no name, so I have no idea who it's from.


When I looked on the back, it was a charity card in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.


Had they forgotten their name? I know the feeling ....

I was idly glancing through someone else's flyer and at the bottom of the page was this:



*This layout is terrible - it uses all the wrong fonts - can we get the correct ones for the next leaflet? Ed.



:)) :)) :))



Hope they didn't pay too much to get it printed :))

You started out in 1993 !

I remember when East Dulwich had perfectly good local Will storage specialists who would store Wills in superior and more down to earth snuff boxes (forgive the pun) and not these fancy blow in Will storage experts who store them in ponsey biscuit tins.

Three doctors are involved in a fatal car crash and find themselves standing at the pearly gates of heaven.


The gates swing open and St. Peter steps out to meet them


To the first doctor he asks "what's your name and what did you do on earth? "


To which the first doctor replies "I'm doctor Kevin Brown and I'm a gynaecologist"


St. Peter sucks his teeth, looks at a list and then proclaims "I am so sorry Doctor Brown, heaven is rather full and we don't have a need for another gynaecologist, it's off to hell for you" and the doctor vanishes in a puff of smoke.


St. Peter then asks the same question to the second doctor, who replies

"I'm Doctor John Green and I'm a heart surgeon "


St. Peter looks at his list and says "oh gosh Doctor Green, a very noble profession but everyone here has a perfect and pure heart, I am so sorry it is hell for you" and doctor green vanishes in a puff of smoke


The third doctor not believing his eyes says to St. Peter "I guess it's hell for me too?" And St. Peter says "not until you tell me your name and profession"


The third doctor says "I'm John Smith and I am a doctor too"


"Okay" says St. Peter "what sort of doctor are you?"


Dejectedly Doctor Smith says "I am sure you don't want me, I am a psychologist"


"Ahh brilliant" cries St. Peter "come on in , you are just the man we need, God thinks he is Jeremy Corybn!"

It looks like it was knocked up overnight by a 2nd year Graphic Design student on a summer placement^

Perhaps there's a hidden message...her signature reads more like Aarrgghh! than Angela :)


*Of course I'm referring to the logo not Ms Eagle...

      Also do not forget when you ask the Council for what Major works are in the pipeline and you get the answer none are planned. This could all change tomorrow or next week, next month.  Correct at the time of asking.   Beware. Many of these estates need a lot of work.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      I’m very happy to recommend James. He helped me over the phone on the bank holiday weekend & then came round & fixed my electrical issue after, which wasn’t straight forward. He’s very professional, diligent, helpful & quick - very happy to recommend him to all.

      Be very careful about what the estate agent tells you and make sure you independently verify it... They have no obligation to be honest with you..., usually the reverse in fact, they'll often just tell you what you want to hear to get the deal done.

      Advice welcomed - potential dog kennel hill estate flat purchase

      That's a bit of a scare story and applies to a housing association, not a local authority.  In my brief look through the article it wasn't clear if this was new build or taking over an old development. It refers to increased insurance costs, and in some sectors eg motoring for some this has doubled in the last year  Do your homework, ask the estate agent, maybe knock on the neighbour's door and hopefully others here will have first hand experience. Elsewhere 40 years on from right to buy 40 years on, there are dilapidated estates built in the 50s, modern dangerous cladding etc. There again there are some high quality older Peabody and LCC estates out there. The bigger picture is affordable housing in the capital.  Elsewhere on this site a discussion on what 2 million buys you. My first purchase was ex council concrete terrace and there had been a warning about the the steel reinforcements corroding.  Still standing I understand
