Er, Mick - on this thread:


However, doesn't is spelt with only one O.


Pinhead.



You have been defeated by your spelling by a superior and magnanimous opponent.



Your last post "...that didn't take long" should've at least finished with a full stop.


Pinhead.



Your previous post to that also lacked the appropriate punctuation.


Pinhead.



However,


Your eventual downfall mirrored that of the other pinhead scoffing from afar. You ignored the basic etiquette of a full stop.


Pinhead.



You made the school girl error of starting a sentence with and.


You have no idea how good that just felt.


Pinhead.



Funny though.


Edited again to say that wasn't meant to be mean to BBW, rather to point out the bleeding obvious to MM.

Can I say that really it should have read; "As", "And" or "But".

Well what do you expect from a geezer from Peckham who not only covered house walls in graffiti but could not even spell "tiger"?!


Rupert Brooke had exquisitely-barbered short hair though...

and a better one than you..." B)

On the one and only occasion I had afternoon tea in Grantchester the honey was served in a tiny plastic pot emblazened with the word "Kraft"....so I have to agree with you, even if "and is there jam still for tea?" would be less evocative as well as metrically compromised. But I still say it's ok to begin a sentence with a conjunction.B)

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
