As if we couldn't have guessed from your name ;-)

Yes, nicely summarised

Getting old and reminiscing I guess it's just part of life. The fox and I tend to stray off on tangents because it makes us happy to talk about old times and faces we miss. It's not to belittle people today making their very own memories in different places. Not in the slightest.

I know/knew quite a few people who were into things like that in the seventies/eighties, and none of them were gullible, or fools.


I don't think whatever is "wrong with the world" has anything to do with those people who are seeking peace. Far from it.


Only just seen this thread, BTW, and what a load of boring bollocks.


Things change. Get used to it. If you can't get used to it and you don't like it, move somewhere else, don't waste your life criticising the people who do like living here :)

Just to be clear. Are we talking about this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat


You're right, all sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Sue.. I seem to remember on more than one occasion yourself talking about moving somewhere else..

Why might that be if you like it here so much... ??


Many people already have moved elsewhere.

Old ? getting there .. Every day you get a little bit older and a little bit wiser.


Tired ? Never been fitter..


Why don't you post your mug shot up on here.. ??


In fact perhaps a few more should do the same..

I've got absolutely no idea who the guy in question was. Never heard of this Peace Palace in East Dulwich before.


I was talking in general terms, hence my use of the expression "things like that".


Maharishi, for example, and Transcendental Meditation, which a lot of people were into at that time, including The Beatles.


I'm not quite clear why being attracted to inner peace should be damned as being "everything that's wrong with the world".


I'm sure some of these so-called gurus were charlatans and yes I expect some of the people who followed them were gullible. It doesn't make all of them charlatans, and it doesn't make all their followers gullible. No more than Christians, for example.

Sue - quite obviously I have no problem with peace (or even meditation if that's your bag) but I do have a problem with people peddling rubbish, and the sheep-like, unquestioning nature of some people who seem to be attracted to these supposedly charistmatic people.


No point discussing the pros and cons of the whole "spiritual" thing, since you're clearly more open to the idea than I am, and we won't change each others minds on that any time soon.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
