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.

*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.

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.

    • it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂
    • They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄
    • @alice I suggest you reserve judgement until you've experienced it yourself. 
    • Yes, I've never bought a  phone that was locked to a specific network. So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. Or indeed my new mobile, but there wouldn't be much point in that; I think the old one  still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity, and my new one has loads. It's just occurred to me that I need to double check all my photos etc are backed up. I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP. I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know! The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them. I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, apart from a work related one, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember,  so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers  Oh, really? I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit? Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone? How long have you had that SIM card in the phone? If I  have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam! I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣
