As a general reflection on children at home, I left Ireland post graduation for London aged 21 with nothing other than my first months rent and a low paying civil service job to look forward to.


I think more young people should take the plunge and want to fend for themselves.


For me that independence was something o craved.


House prices were completely irrelevant to me at the time of making the decision and this was 1989 when rents etc were at an all time high. I just wanted to cope on my own.

I'd of said learn lesson,no replacement money don't grow on trees.

Save up buy own then when you drop it in.loo(dangerous choice use near water)then they feel pain of replacing the item.


Understand kind mum helping out,done twice certainly no way hoza

Like otta said:

just remember that some people think because it's the internet and not "real life" that they can just say exactly what they want without applying the tact and manners that they would if talking face to face.


Either that or they're just exceptionally rude people, OR they lack the capacity to see how their. comments will affect others.

@Otta,

If sjw writes she doesn't appreciate peoples comments and opinions she shouldn't spend her free time sitting and writing negative comments on other people walls...

She sure did't leave me with a worm positive feeling when reading her comment on my post.. My though when reading it where more like "What is her problem" I think anybody would feel that way.

I didn't ask for an opinion around the topic fur.. i was selling it. And "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" Otherwise you are just a part of the internet bulling and can't be offended when other people have a negative opinion. That is all... Over and out.

You miss the point. I understand that you were just selling something, and that you weren't really looking for comments on fur, and such comments may have annoyed you and possibly made people think twice about buying the item.


Okay I get that.


But the fact remains that sjw's comment was not directed at you as a person. Comments on here have been directly aimed at her as a person and how she chooses to parent, which frankly is no one's bloody business.


You really should be able to see the difference.


Roger that? Over and out.

@OTTA The point is if you choose to play nice or not (never mind the scale)

People in general just have to keep good manners on the internet, I'm not saying what the people are saying is right, i'm saying and i quote again that if you don't play nice how can you expect others to do the same.

My previous message speaks for it self.

It's not rocket science OTTA but comment sens and good manners to fellow people on the forum.

This worked for my daughter when she did the same thing with her iPhone (paid for herself, receipt available on request): turn it fully off immediately, not just the one button off but the hold it down till it fully turns off. This stops it making any electrical connections itself. Then immerse it in a bowl of rice and leave it somewhere warm but not hot, so an airing cupboard rather than a radiator. Leave it for as long as you can but at least 24 hours. Hers was as good as new but I think it's the turning it off quickly that is key. It's something they only do the once!

I find "immediately" is such a subjective word - would it cover the small time lapse from the OP on 20 February until now?

No, no I didn't (miss your point). Because she wrote "poor fox" on one of your threads you felt that she was being "very opinionated", not nice, and had "ruined" your thread. and so what goes around comes around.


In your opinion writing "poor fox" means she deserves to have her personal life judged.


You're right, it's not rocket science and I get it.


I personally just find the two things completely incomparable.



But clearly we're not going to agree about it.

The original Gordon Bennett has some claim on the most expensive wee ever. He was the heir to the New York Herald fortune and had become engaged to even-richer socialite Caroline May. On New Year's Day he went blind drunk to her parents' house, where he pissed into the drawing-room fireplace.


Needless to say the wedding was off. He was escorted from the premises, horsewhipped by Caroline's brother and ostracised by Manhattan society. He went into self-imposed exile in France where he started the European version of the newspaper ? which became the Herald Tribune.


So a very expensive piss turned out to be not so bad in the end.


Now back to your normal programme.

    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority. 
    • Details here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.  
    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274
