Oh for goodness sake she hasn't been excommunicated just banished to the lounge for a spell - something that has happened to plenty of other forumites, past and present, more than once.


If someone chooses to go whether by flounce or through sheer boredom (a disease which I suspect has killed off more than a few long standing posters) they do so because they have nothing else to say and/or no more original thoughts to express and perhaps find themselves repeating the same tired gags (ahem) or punting the same opinions or yelling the same old arguments to/at/with the same old faces.


A spell in the wilderness that is ED IRL which sees them barking at buses, chasing dog-walkers and yelling at restaurants, will see most return to the sanity of the EDF bear-pit where - even in the midst of a 54 page thread laced with vitriol and seething with contempt - there is still some humanity throbbing in the rubble.


For now though - sing it loud - I'm a blow-in and PROUD!

Give me tedious and repetitive posts from Louisa over tedious and repetitive posts from nameless others any day of the week. Can't see anything bad from yesterday either unless they've been deleted. I always enjoy seeing Louisa posts, too early to retire just yet.


Hope you return Louisa, the ros? is always chilled and I have some Waitrose organic manuka smoked olives, I mean, Iceland party sausage rolls defrosting as I type. Cheers.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
    • This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
