You talk in riddles, sir, but you appear to be encountering some sort of assault upon your household.

Should you require my services to take arms against your sea of troubles, then consider me all tooled up and prepared to involve myself in a melee.

I remain of course your humble etc etc.

We had a powercut on Ivydale Road at about... 7.30pm, it lasted about 20 minutes. I dashed straight for my box of emergency candles and lit as couple, was very romantic.


Looked out the window to see if it was just us or the whole street, it was the whole street. I went outside in bare feet but either nobody else had noticed or they were all asleep, because no one came out for about 10 minutes until my neighbour made an appearance and we discussed the situation in the dark. The only light was from the passing cars... and the pub funnily enough (we decided they must have a generator, can't stop those beer pumps pumping).

They may not have had a generator. I am on Limesford Road and we got a dip and surge. Very strange - I was standing talking to my family after getting in from work and the lights dimmed for a few seconds. At the same time that they brightened the subwoofer connected to my PC made a very strange subwoofer sound. Then every thing was nornal again

Just to clarify....


Surge protector = cheap, good against spikes - deck very prone to crashing (unless it's a laptop)


uninterrupted power supply = bit expensive (?50-?300 or so) depending on how much your deck sucks at peak performance + monitor - gives you enough time to shut down if the power stays off (and can be done automatically)


clean wall power supply = expensive (?300-?800) - the reassurance of your home circuits not adversely affecting your

hardware, a good option for those doing audio/video work at home.


Sold State drives = expensive - the advantage being power outages or surges far less likely to result in CRC errors, page file interruptions, file allocation table corruption etc.

was gonna say.use the other heh. worth knowing about though, how you reset the on/off. if say it was in sleep mode it may not know if its on off sleeping or whatever when the power comes on. so you think its broken. seeing as, seems to be more power cuts recently. weve had a few drops in power here.

Thanks for you post. To surge protector, the more that I know about is how to use 6 outlet surge protector with 3 usb charging port to protector game PC from charging damage. From using this tool, you don't need to worry about charging will destroy your device.Or you can search bestekmall on Google to learn more details about it. Wish this point is helpful to you. Best wishes.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
