I don't mind the buses... but taxi drivers who go down the bus lane at the bottom of Dog Kennel Hill before the ED train station bridge, triggering the traffic lights to make you stop... even though they could have driven down the normal lane like a normal human being. I've been behind them at stupid o'clock in the morning and they STILL do it! Grrrr...

Of course! And therein lies the problem....

Apologies for the boldness of a Newb, but this struck quite a chord with me, I hate many many television adverts with a passion.


For starters, that car advert where people are tying balloons to their vehicles and sending them off to the heavens, don't these people now how irrsponsible and dangerous this is ?


Iggy Pop


The Aviva advert with Ringo Starr asking if he'd have been as famous if he'd still been called Richard Starkey, erm yes probably, unless it was your stage name that got the Beatles gig............big nosed scouse hating c*ck.


Compare the Meerkat.com


People dropping litter, (esp Council Workers)

On the subject of adverts that get me really cross...


- The one with people claiming to be PCs, especially the new ones with young children...no you're not, you're a human being which is far preferrable.

- Lloyd Grossman trying out his bolognese sauce in Bologna. The people are clearly all actors who smile falsely and never even offer an opinion on his sauce.


I have to leave the room when they come on to stop myself arguing with the TV.

Parents who have those two-seater buggies where one poor child sits at the back with nothing to look at.


The kids always look really miserable.


Would the parents like to be walked around staring at a blank wall all day?!


I'm sure they're easier to get in and out of shops etc, and I know from personal experience that it's a nightmare in small shops and on buses with a double buggy where the kids sit side by side, but surely that's preferable to making one of your kids have absolutely no stimulation apart from being able to see out of the sides a bit?


Actually I suppose it causes me sorrow rather than irrational rage ......

Being told in M&S London Bridge that it's "company policy" that their free bags may only hold 3 items and I must pay 5p per bag for extra bags. It's meant to be a quick stop shop for commuters. When I asked where this policy was promulgated was shown a small notice well above eye level on a pillar and 7ft off the ground

ell them it?s your policy not to be told what to do by a clothes shop put your first 3 items in the ?free? bag, the rest under your arm and put them in the bag as soon as you leave the counter.


Almost exactly what I said as I stuffed items into my jacket and asked to see the management - who could not come up with a decent rationale for the policy. My rant kept them busy for 10 minutes - and no-one in the queue was bothered as they seemed to support my position.


I can see the rationale but don't agree with it - it's a busy shop, mostly commuters on the way home. Most can't be arsed to argue / complain about an extra 5p. M&S therefore use less of the cheapo plastic bags, thus saving money, plus they get an "eco" boost by giving the money made from the 5p bag sales to charity.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
