While working in this website all that you see is the written word, or att. Pictures.

How often are you engrossed in sending a message or answering one, with the Television going in the background.

A certain advert is blasted out by a well known booming person, that distracts you from your computer.

How many others would love a button that when pushed would show that person the mid air after the explosion under his seat?

Am I the only person to think this.

CS, good to see you posting.

TV/radio/stereo can be a distraction at times, but it's up to YOU to turn the darned thing off !!

However, I'd like such a button for cold-callers at my front door, perhaps a trap door to a snake pit or an ejector paving slab which will catapault them a couple of blocks away !

I was thinking more of a toilet plunger over his mouth to silence him.

Good idea the Bell shocker,and the coal hole trap flap.

Sweeny Tod type shute to bake house, can't recomend the pies though.

Tazer O.K. but he is still there.

Unusual I enjoyed his " Who do you think you are? "

Computed - did you know a lady, Evelyn, at 199 Crystal Palace Rd ?

It was a clock makers (her Father) at time of, and after, WWII. I believe she has a brother, she's around 82 now.

She told me a story about the bomb that landed behind the pub nearby and all the ceilings in her house came down.

When she was telling me this I wondered if you'd known her when you lived in ED.

    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
