ED Picturehouse. Elitist*. (Louisa's lounged response)


Recommended Posts

Well in the 50's many people did not have a Television. We didn't .


So we went to the Cinema to see the Moving Pictures (Flicks) and Talkies..

Some were even in colour.


and after we had Fish & Chips in newspaper.(not because it was trendy) walking along the road.

No Burgers back then. No Pizza, Chinese, Curry, Takeaways.


Some Cinemas sold Hot-Dogs..


Foxy..

The world's first wireless telephone conversation occurred in 1880, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter invented and patented the photophone, a telephone that conducted audio conversations wirelessly over modulated light beams (which are narrow projections of electromagnetic waves). In that distant era, when utilities did not yet exist to provide electricity and lasers had not even been imagined in science fiction, there were no practical applications for their invention, which was highly limited by the availability of both sunlight and good weather. Similar to free-space optical communication, the photophone also required a clear line of sight between its transmitter and its receiver. It would be several decades before the photophone's principles found their first practical applications in military communications and later in fiber-optic communications.

Most of the time I use Google links to convey knowledge of the things I already know something about.


Usually where people have asked for info I go to the trouble of investigating and pointing them in the

right direction and also learning myself.


It's in my nature to help people. Not insult them.


Where I have used Google to find info for other people I provide a link to the source of that info

to comply with rules of etiquette concerning the author of that info.


Your last post was meaningless in the context of this thread..

Just as foxy provides links to sources online pointing people in the right direction to back up his ideas and also help people learn about things (note he doesn't have to do this, it's called being kind and generous?), I feel I provide a service to people by talking the realities of certain situations they may otherwise not be aware of. Like cinema prices for example.


Louisa.

*Bob* I believe you and I have patronised this forum for almost the exact same time as registered members. I am happy to provide my opinions about all sorts of things, if only people would ask I could tell them about many things. I'm always happy to help.


Louisa.

There's all sorts of fad diets that might help with that.

Me too. Snorting like a stuffed pig, startling passengers on the number 12!

Heheheheheeeehaw.


*Bob*'s contribution to this thread has proper cheered me.

Just a little reminder for *Bob*. You might be 2-0 at the end of half time, but believe me, foxy and I have a star striker on the bench who's coming on in the second half and your goalkeeper better have a decent pair of gloves.


Louisa.

So why has nobody been to Peckham cinema? I rarely go, but remember taking my daughter there years ago for an occasional treat. And if I did feel like seeing a film, that's the first place I'd choose to visit.


Just to add,


ridiculing, taking the p*ss, talking bollox just to get a laugh isn't cool and isn't clever.


It's actually quite sad.

    • An update, and at the bottom of the article ways to get involved and have a voice. National 'conversation' responses close 14th Jan.  https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denials-fake-conversations-not-inspire-parental-confidence-send/ Closer to home, Councillor Ali has conducted a review of parent and child experiences of exclusions in Southwark and reports back to those who contributed at a dated TBC in January. If it is a date which I can attend then I'll share feedback. If not, is anyone else going who could let me know what is said?
    • I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too
    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.
