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?

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
