Footballers do it all the time on the pitch. yuk

AbbieP are you a youngish woman with a bawling child in a buggy, a phone clamped to your ear, a shouted conversation on the go, and rushing as perpetually late and anywhere near North Cross Road, and can you tut over the decibel level? please avoid a collision with this normal paced pavement user who is not as important as your self.

Alternatively avoid NCR and CPR.

I've noticed families of these pavement hoggers. It's a handed down skill, as is being aware of what's around you and letting others by.


Usually practiced by the generally gormless, often on Saturdays. I'm often envious of those who live in a bubble, oblivious to the world around them.

Slow, lazy too kool for skool Oyster swipers. Too achingly cool to glance down to see if they are actually going to open the gate, then hold everyone up as the gates don't open. Wont stand back as instructed, and frantically rub their Oyster over the pad.


Those guys.

When I am waiting around waiting for someone and they turn up not just 5 or 10 mins late but 45 mins late, and not bothering to phone or text to say they are running late. Then they proceed to tell me a cock and bull story. It doesn't make for a good evening.
More a cause for concern than rage: unsafe Deliveroo cyclists. Tonight I even saw one go through the Calton Ave/DV junction, traffic lights on red, no front light, barely visible rear light, huge delivery box slung across his back rather than secured properly to the bike, WHILE HOLDING A VIDEO CALL ON HIS PHONE, earplugs in, repeatedly turning sideways to look at the screen. Accident waiting to happen.

Not tiny or irrational.


I was driving behind someone yesterday evening who was having a video call whilst driving. Phone was on one of those windscreen sucker mounting things and you could quite clearly see the person on the screen talking. FFS surely this is an instant ban if caught?

Not sure which of the two is worse. The guy on the bike was laughing and holding his arm outstretched to the side, presumably to give the other person a better view of him. Maybe it's time for bikes to have number plates.

If there'd been a copper there s/he could have gone after him and nicked him anyway, without a copper in situ what good would a plate do? You could take the number and report them, and I guarantee they'll do nothing at all, as I discovered when I tried to report a guy who'd caused me to skid and hit the tarmac on Tower Bridge road by driving through a red light while on his mobile - felt like I was going to be nicked for wasting police time!

Filling in some online form which requires you to select your dob. The fecking year of mine seems to be getting further away all the time. Why can't the first option be the average age so one can scroll up or down? Ageism I tell you,ageism!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
