Now that the snows been here for a couple of days and we've got over the honeymoon of how pretty it is and are now coming to realise it's a bit of a nuisance can we please get on to the more serious subject of the funniest scene of someone falling over wether you know them or not. I'm still trying to figure out if the old lady falling down the stairs at the top of Crystal palace park was funnier than the monumental drop our site manager suffered on the scaffold this morning. Over to you.

Well, bigbadwolf, I've spent the last two days at work in an Emergency Department.


Since I came on duty four hours ago we've seen three broken hips, four broken wrists, one broken ankle and a dislocated shoulder. None of them were laughing.


The thing is that old people falling over, particualrly down stairs, often leads to serious, even life limiting, injury.

And that's not really funny, is it?

Steady on chaps, I agree an elderly person falling is definitely not a laughing matter, but I always remember a teacher dropping at school, and make no apologies for still smiling to myself about it. Our very own lovely saffa Brendan has said on another thread that he laughed at a guy in a suit taking a tumble. There is not always something wrong about laughing at others' misfortune! (old ladies are am exception though).

I fell over twice on Monday whilst walking home from the pub. The first time was when I decided to get involved in one of the many pitched snowball battles that were breaking out on Lordship Lane. The second time was when I was rolling a giant snowball up the path to my house and I tripped forward and landed on my face in the snow. I?m not sure whether it was the first or second tumble that broke the eggs I was carrying but they were both pretty funny.

When I say old lady she wasn't that old and laughed it off but when I think about it Annaj you do have a point as the elderly do come off alot worse than younger folk concerning broken bones and the like. i'm afraid the enviroment I work in isn't as sensetive as a hospital so I suppose it's not surprising when my gallows/barrackroom humour hits a raw nerve with some other forumites.

Yeah, sorry about the homophobic stuff I posted last night which was a bit out of order considering it was unsolicited. I personally don't have anything against gays as if you don't find members of the opposite sex attractive then it's not exactly your fault so if you want to weigh anchor in poo harbour and have your shite shoved back a fortnight them thats fine by me........Oh shit I've done it again. I'll be on the naughty step if you want to hit me.

I managed to fall over before the snow even made an appearance - I was running round Peckham Rye and tripped over my own big feet! I'd been to spin class the day before so my excuse is that my knees were wobbly - didn't stop me looking like a complete t*sser as I went arse over tit in the middle of the street! ::o


I totally grazed my right knee and the heels of my hands and still look like I've been fighting in the playground almost 2 weeks later :-$

Respect to the Bigbadwolf - if he gets shouted down, he does net get all grovelly and beg for apologies but like a real wolf, he comes out fighting.

Seems to work on a building site though - probably not trained/brainwashed by overzealous HR departments to "say nothing interesting or you lose your job" like the rest of us get emailed in new company policy updates every year/month/week.

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
