Why do you say that after all I have said to you i.e. all the warnings. I have asked you politely so many times to not act like you are on a building site.


Take a week off.


To everyone else, sorry but bigbadwolf will not be around for a week.

I've got an Edward Hopper print here, called "Drawing Room at Night". Visible through a fourth floor window of a brownstone block in the city is a woman in a loose red dress. She is alone, with three empty chairs around the table at which she sits, a single bulb hanging overhead. The only other light comes from a computer screen glowing in the dark before her. At the top of a list of threads we see one showing: "Views 4. Posts 1."


Her hand is pictured a few inches above the keyboard. Has she just posted, or is she about to post? Or neither? Is she alone? Or are we?

That's funny Ted, I saw a painting recently called 'the chair' by Rolf Harris.


It's a pastel and charcoal sketch that depicts a man with no discernable features dressed as an Admiral who's brought his fleet back from battle but his uniform is now showing signs of deshevelment, sitting alone in a barren meadow surrounded by sheep that show no interest in his presence. In the background is a Dutch barn where it looks as though some kind of happy gathering is taking place, blissfully unaware of the mans loneliness. He sits alone and weeps.

How strange that just now a book should fall down from the bookshelf, opening at a fine plate illustrating The Monkey's Paw. It shows the exact moment the father, holding the monkey's paw, wishes for ?200; a wish that leads to the death of his son.


I'd be happy to donate a decent reproduction to be mounted in the Drawing Room.

I'm not the school/forum bad boy Mick. I'm the A.D.D kid that can't hold his tongue. I was banned for a week but admin let me out of my box for good behaviour but I was rude again so he called the chemistry teacher Mr Lush to grab me by the collar, wack me round the head with the flat side of a ruler and put me back in detention to teach me a lesson. I was let out to stretch my legs a few days ago.


What did I do for a week?


Well,


I flew my kite for a bit on Peckham Rye park whilst stoned which gets a bit boring after a while. Went round to my friends a few times as one of my best mates has just welcomed his newborn daughter to his family, a healthy girl.


I've really been getting into The Unit recently.


Looking for more work. It's really slow in the Construction/Demolition industry at present.


I got really pissed with my Dad and Uncle.


Generally messing about as well as occasionally playing with myself.


There certainly is a life outside the forum but sometimes it's hard to tell which is more fun, if you know what I mean.

Oh and check out my new toy at work!!!


It's a demolition robot called a Brokk. The video isn't mine and the guy with the blue hardhat is in control.


I've only used one a few times but the thing is an animal and operated via remote control.


Sick!!!




Don't tell me you're not just a tiny bit jealous.

Ooohhh Mick Mac, why must you mention 'that lady'. I fear that I shall be forever spurned by her highness through my own licentuous toil.


She pops in now and again though so I suppose things could be worse.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
