Tarot. I have two kids of my own and I regularly treat youngsters as part of my profession. There is nothing YOU can teach me about child psychology.


Did I miss something, when as an undergraduate, I read all that research into sexuality and prenatal hormonal chemistry? And what about all the research into human neurobehavioral development?


Tarot, if you can find me just one credible research paper providing a link between exposure to gay characters in soaps and development of sexual orientation, then I promise to stop treating you like a muppet.

Jeremy I just couldn't resist, I was sat on my sun lounger sulking. And I knew deep down, admin wasn't prepared to budge. So I've come back with my bottle of Pinot between my legs, so to speak.


Louisa.

What an odd thing to say blah blah. I cannot think of many child psychologists who would engage with a poster like tarot in such a way esp to the extent of asking them to provide a credible research paper (which we all know is futile).

That's right Jeremy. I'm not going to say exactly what I do for a profession in a public forum. Why would I?


Not an odd thing to say at all numbers. Tarot is being deliberately obtuse and trying to avoid taking responsibility for his/ her comments. I don't have to be polite about that, esp as all prior posts that try to reason with Tarot have been so deliberately ignored.


lol@spark67 Phil Mitchell? Really? :D

Er...really? When someone on an internet forum makes claims that cannot be verified, "that there is nothing you can teach them about ...[insert brainy subject]", that seems a little more than someone saying they know a bit about it. Compounded by the implication that the subject at hand is part of their profession.


Anyway, there's NOTHING you can teach me about thermonuclear dynamics. Not that its anything to do with my work you understand.

Point taken numbers, but I think most people would agree that someone starting a thread and then extending on their subject with comments like watershed and impact on children, better be able to back that up with hard evidence. In spite of being challenged on that point by me in several posts, Tarot has chosen to not only ignore it, but then further insults all of our intelligence by claiming to be a victim of heterophobia! He/ she further responds to me with a comment about not having children etc.


Anyone looking at the post you are now trying to pick apart (from me) and looking at the post I was replying to, in context, would be able to see why Tarot deserved the talking down he got.


If Tarot knew anything about sexuality and psychology, he/ she would never have made the comemment about watersheds in the first place.

I am the only hetro in the village. L.O.L

You have all missed the point of the original post.

I make no excuses about anything, there is not one person this thread was aimed at but a question on the content of the t.v soaps.

Its you lot that got your knickers in a twist I HAVENT threatened anyone with being buried alive or run over by a gay car all disguised threats that true trolls make. By the way stop brow beating people to your way of thinking its not always about you.

Hey Tarot


I think I first mentioned being buried alive because it's

the only story line I remember other than Nick Cotton and

dirty Den. :)


I think if you said you didn't like any sexual scenes before

the watershed (rather than just gay ones) you'd get some

support (I remember leaving the room as a teenager).

Haven't you worked out that trying to reason with someone with such views they started a thread about it is pointless?


Oh do forgive me, you're new here aren't you?

    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
    • Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.  
    • I always like Redemptions coffee though I've not visted for awhile..Romeo Jones was always my 1st choice for takeout Coffee Redemption 2nd. What IS with all these independent Yoga and Pilates Studios? Theres one on London Rd in Forest Hill (Mind) thats recently opened and then theres the Pilates place thats opened on North X Road. I looked at the prices of the one on NorthX road and was frankly shocked at how expensive it is, The FH one is slightly less.  Made me decide to stick with classes in The local authority gym
    • Dulwich Village update: The old DVillage location is (again?) under offer. The storefront next to the new grocer is going to open as a yoga and pilates studio...the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦‍♂️  Megan's is starting to push its takeaway coffee and cannibalise some of Redemption Coffee's market share. Is Megan's struggling? It's quite a big restaurant they have and rent cant be cheap. The reinventing of the Megan's branch on Lordship Lane as Ollie's seems to have stalled. And Redemption is looking a bit tired these days...
