Hurrah for some honesty. I am sure a lot of first time mums end up feeling quite isolated because it seems socially unacceptable to admit what a grind the first few months can be some of the time.


I'm the first to admit I have no interest in having children, but I will confess the children of my friends who don't try to force me to love them are quite entertaining once they get to around 3. One friend's kids are quite smart when I go round and instead of trying to distract their mum to get attention they just come and play with me or ask me to read to them and it can be very endearing. For an afternoon anyway.

I love it when the Cleaning Lady brings her adorable 3-year-old round "I'm nearly 4" to fiddle on my Computer so that it ceases to function after he has gone.


It was even more amusing when he picked up the car keys and we all got involved in an impromptu "hide and seek"

..Great Fun was had by all, and lest I forget, the occassion when he went to the box and momemts later the Central Heating Bleedin' key went bleedin' missing and Mummy said it wasn't him (probably a co-incidence to be fair-a Million-to-One "co-incidence" mind).


...and how he pulls the dogs tails when Mummy isn't looking, they LUV IT, as they huddle round me for protection......


Can't wait for his next visit...


But Mummy loves him "You are going to break all the Girls hearts in future!-Did I tellyou that hisshoes cost ?50??"....funny how she doesn't give anywhere near the same attention to the 5-year-old Girl and worryingly, another friend who comes round does exactly the same thing...i.e. plenty of tangible love for the Boy and rarely mentioning the Girl,who often stays with her Mum

Here's something you don't see every day Sonny, a shotgun shell that goes bang , flings a string out the end of your shotgun barrel, and contains a patch & CLP combination that allows you to clean a semi-skanky shotgun barrel quickly and easily.


Convenient.


Very nifty and attention-getting.


Maybe I should try that on both of them.


That should be straight enough and concentrate their minds wonderfully...>:D<

Can't do that.


When The Ladyfriend moved in she was quick to remind me that she had known me for nearly 15 years and I can't just discard her for someone who, though perfectly happy to keep the place clean, has only known me for 5/6 years, so she is first in the pecking order, as far as she is concerned, and trust me, in her eyes, that is the ONLY opinion that matters...::o


So she's here for life M8......

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
