Ok, so I am going to try and write this without sounding like some single white(brown) female stalker.


I have been in ED for nearly 9 months now from moving down from the Midlands.


The reason for me posting is that I keep seeing a girl in ED that I am abolutely sure I went to Birmingham University with. I know it may sound a bit batty, and Mr VBC thinks I'm utterly nuts, but she's rather distinctive(pretty) looking and I just have this feeling that I am absolutly right and it IS a girl I went to uni with.


I can't give too much away, for privacies sake. But I went to Birmingham University between 2001-2004 and studied English and Philosophy. I think this girl studied English too and maybe something else too.


Is this you?

Do you know someone who did?



... erm not sure what I am actually gonna do if I find the lady in question.


I just need to get this nagging thought out of my head before I go mad.


...and prove Mr VBC wrong ;-) (yet again)


... and apologies if this IS you and you are totally freaked out by this thread!

Oh you have foiled my plan!!!


It's not money I am after...


It's my hair straighteners. The fro is a mess!

KK,


I don't think it's as exciting as it is creepy. Even I have to admit that. :-$


You know when something nags at you, like the name of a long forgotten band, and you cannot get on with anything else till you find the answer. I saw her a few weeks ago and I spent a day thinking I was imagining it, but then again, I was sure I wasn't because I am very good with remembering faces (crap with names). I forgot all about it, till this Sunday when I walked passed her again on LL.


She's quite tall and brown and gorgeous ringletty hair... oh god, I DO sound like a stalker. :-S

Oh that was YOU! I was wondering why a gorgeous young woman on her way to the gymn smiled at me. That wasnt cheery that was slightly puzzled, I have only met you once and I was very drunk - in my defence.


I was thinking of starting a thread "Thanks to the lovely young lady who smiled at me this morning", now I dont have to.


Have you done the usual stalker thing of Googling your friend's name?

All right I'm gonna do YOU a big favour.


I'll come down tonight from The 'burbs and introduce myself to her and tell her I'm speaking on behalf of a friend,and I'll attempt to discover certain facts about her.


I'll just need some "Ex's" money-thats all..


Are we on?

Would have gone for a tictac too personally...

I'm not the person you're after VBC but as you may have guessed from my tag I too am a midlander. It's nice to know I'm not the only one! Mind you if you're mission here is like mine to convert these southerners to say 'bath' properly then you'll have your work cut out. I've been here for 10 years and they still look bemused when they hear my dulcit tones.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
