I know excatly what you mean :)-D



stupid abbreviations annoy me ..... Mayo instead of Mayonaise ,and the use of ( sorry Cassius ) Air Con instead of Air Conditioning



and the use of the word Customers instead of Passengers



Also use of the word "Customer" in situations when you're not actually buying anything , I think the dole office have started using it , feckin idiots.


oh there was something else too .... can't remember it might come back to me in a minute .

The use of emoticons.

There are people I have repect for who use them, but are they not really just the devil's puntuation?

And not even the good devil implied in Rosemary's Baby, more like the shit one in To The Devil A Daughter.

If something is written and it's amusing, then we'll get it. If it's tongue in cheek, we might not. If it's obscure/esoteric/in-jokey then many may not get it.

Aaaand. Next post!

Why have something more irritating than canned laughter on a comedy, littering up perfectly good, or for that matter imperfect or lousy posts.

Let them stand or fall by their own merits. I know the pro arguement, that they can soften what might appear in the naked written word as sarcastic, rude offensive etc, that in a face to face interaction would be leavened by body language and greater explanation.

So this is a written medium, but through the written word we can to some extent form opinions about people, I've done so on other MBs, gone on to meet them and became friends with them.

Even some who use bastard emiticons.

I'm not sure I constantly take the piss, out of whom?

But why does anyone need to include cartoons in their sensibleish comment, personal insults and light hearted irony?


Eeerm, you twat.

You take the p1ss not out of individuals in a general and lighthearted sense...


I started using emocions after I litterally posted something like


"It's ridiculous to think that poeple have characteristics based on their nationality...apart from the French who are all ****"....and people thought I wasn't being serious ;-)

And worse, people who include PhD in their email address field, as part of their name.

Americans are the worst culprits.

But aren't they always :-S

A thing that gets on my tits are people who think they are not littering as they have put their rubbish on top of a post box or cabinet in the street. Where do you think its going to go?


Actually while we're at it, another pet hate is people who put water into an empty bottle of washing liquid or soap to make it last longer. FFS

    • 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...
