A friend of mine once successfully used the excuse that he had to go the funeral of his cousin who, while on holiday in Norway, had been run over by a carnival float.



This is the same bloke who once got an essay deadline extension by telling his tutor he was taking his pregnant girlfriend to the abortion clinic. Would you believe, the tutor actually told him he admired his responsible stance on the matter, and to take as long as he needed.



Wish I'd thought of that.



Edited to say that there was no girlfriend, pregnant or otherwise, and my friend now lives with his long-term boyfriend, so has little to no chance of ever using this excuse again.

PeckhamRose, I don't like the idea of anyone being excluded, but no-one asked him to take such desperate action, in fact everyone who was critical was quite clear that it wasn't specifically him they were getting at, but the general tone.

If Mike wants to do a mega flounce-off and get himself terminated by Admin it's his choice.

IMHO I don't condone messages that can be read as offensive, whether on the open forum or via PM. However, personally I am very sorry to read that mikecg has left. I met him last week for a great night out in ED after he was the only person to take up my open invitation on the forum for a night out. I hope he does come back because in person he is a really nice guy.

I suppose there's some as would cry coincidence. I think it's a rum do. And no mistake.

As far as I'm aware Mikecg was a long-term member of this forum not a newcomer, is that not right?


I AM a newcomer, and all this crap is immensely offputting to me. If I wanted to listen to people I don't know screaming at each other, I'd log off and watch Eastenders.


This is my last comment on the subject, because I really don't want to get dragged into what are clearly pre-existing battles, but if this carries on I won't make a fuss, I shall just leave, and I'm sure I won't be the only one. I don't expect anyone to care, and I'm not certainly expecting anyone to say "Oh, no, please don't leave!", I just think it's a shame, that's all. I've enjoyed discovering the Forum this last couple of months, but this has me losing the will to live.


Right, I'm off to post on the "What's Your favourite colour?" thread.

Cheers Brum, although my name is nothing to do with the colour pink, which I can take or leave frankly. It's borrowed from the main character in my favourite novel*. Unfortunately some people have since suggested it sounds a bit filthy, but it's too late to change it now, I've been using it for nearly ten years. And it's not my fault if some people have dirty minds, is it?

      Bloody Sydenham Hill

      a - you said you were done interacting with me, remember b - " police, judge, jury, prosecution and executioner"  - the not very bright person's response on any public forum when someone point out the idiocy of anything. I haven't prosecuted anyone, executed anyone, or taken part in any trial or jury.    I have judged tho but then so do you and so did the OP - so what?

      And when did you become the police, judge, jury, prosecution and executioner all in one, I don't think so. And get back to Lewes

      Plans to open a new Londis on Melbourne Grove until 1am every day of the week

      By first mate · Posted

      Yes, it is just that the local demographic is soon to have a large shift and more late night shopping catering for student needs is likely to be very popular. Presumably the massive student lodgings development plans for Melbourne Grove will have catalysed the Londis application. Wasn't there also an application for a late night bar or club at some point round there? Still, all this will help turn Melbourne Grove North into a real 'vibrant, urban destination' and 'town centre' and, for sure, we can expect lots and lots of e- bikes and scooters to be 'parked' around the place. What makes me laugh is that not so long ago the smaller housing development in the same place was being marketed as wonderful select family homes in quiet, leafy MG, with a 'villagey' feel.  As a taster for where all this might lead, has anyone noticed the crumbling brick facing on the railway development, built not so long ago? You throw 'em up and they soon start falling down. The developers make loadsa money and Councillors get to tick their boxes.

      First public meeting of new left wing party at Ruskin House in Croydon

      By malumbu · Posted

      Stereotypes are based on actual real behaviours.  They can be inappropriately applied to a whole group and can overstep the mark, potentially being offensive.  But comments made on Corbyn and some of his followers are often accurate.  That's not saying he didn't have some good policies, often picked up by the large parties, and is not principled.  I saw him many years ago at an event celebrating Tony Benn where he was excellent.  Perfect for a back bencher. The damage caused by his Brexit stance is difficult to reverse, even ignoring the vote and the outcome, there could have been cross party working and agreement of taking it forward.  And being an apologist for Russia is just ridiculous.
