I'm sure this has already been noted, but people reading or texting while walking along a footpath, platform, etc. No, it's OK, I'll do the looking and dodging, you enjoy your book. Or on a bad day, I'll do the looking but not the dodging.

Personally, I don't think this one is irrational. This morning I caught the 8.36 from Denmark Hill. Half the train disembarks there, and the worst bit is by the stairs. I got really annoyed with the f***wits who decided that it was more important that they get on the train before everyone who need to got off. Was particularly incensed by one idiot who decided to get into the doorway and block half of it, thereby slowing things down even more. What is wrong with these people?


I waited till the passengers had got off, then walked halfway down the carraige and got a seat, before the train had departed, so there was plenty of time.

It's comic relief season... something easy to do with little thought... simple! ;-)

Not unlike TV chess, when one player triumphantly moves a piece and declares, "Checkmate!" If the other player didn't know he was one move away from mate (and therefore would have resigned), he's a pretty poor player and barely worth beating...

:-) I said "not unlike" rather than "same as". I meant in terms of it being a completely unlifelike situation. I've just been Googling (in vain) to find out the last time there was a checkmate in a major tournament... I bet it was, er, a long time ago.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
