Hussein and his colleague recently painted several rooms of our house from nothing to finished. He also dealt with things that just came up, like a missing plasterboard and filling/smoothing of plaster. Strongly recommended without hesitation and I would use again.

Hi Admin or Mark, Is there something up with the RSS world? I subscribe to EDF via the RSS link in Google Reader, and it's been great till a couple of days ago. Now, all the posts show as they should in the reader, but when I click on the link on one, it goes to the "home topic page" i.e. Lounge, Wanted, General etc rather than the thread-specific-scrolled-to-the-relevant-message page, as it used to do. I realise this may be a google reader issue rather than EDF, but just thought I'd ask.. FYI the link I use for the RSS feed is: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/rss.php and the link a typical item in the RSS feed itself gives is: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9%2C217686%2C218577#msg-218577 which, looking at it, looks like a typical attempt to take me to the message-specific item still, but computer says no. Thanks for any help, Macker

Well I still say he's kept 3 quid not 2.

OMG, the waiter must be a thieving-stereotyped-slur-of-your-choice-of-ethnicity, he's kept ?3 but said he kept only ?2!!!

The trolls ate all the Dulwich Village base stations. Perhaps you can use all the money you save on train fares and traffic tickets to buy one of these: http://mobilerepeater.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=17&products_id=50 .

They mean institutions that are largely and solely investment banks. One year ago: 1. Goldman Sachs 2. Morgan Stanley 3. Merrill Lynch 4. Lehman Brothers 5. Bear Sterns. 4 and 5 are gone, and Bank of America has bought Merrill, thus leaving only the top two.

DPF, one message is sufficient. After all, there's no need to discuss much.

I challenge anyone to explain to me in what way one can make a generalisation about any difference in the two major trolls posted by jrussel. I think everyone knows perfectly well what I mean.

Did anyone here ever get Conlin the cactus-flap fitter to install a cactus-flap properly?

In the 12th edition (English translation) available here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2600 the answer is 17,468 unique "words", where a word is defined thus: a string of alphabetic characters separated by white space, numerals or punctuation, and case is not significant. The first words are: a aah ab aback abacus abandon abandoned abandoning abandonment and the last are: zis znaim znamenka zone zoology zu zubov zubova zubovski zum zweck Hope this helps :)

So in summary so far: bare floorboards -> you're hosed carpets -> you're hosed clothes -> you're hosed victorian housing stock -> you're hosed mothballs -> your clothes all smell, and btw you're still hosed Anyone got anything cheery to add? I never saw my moths before this year and I don't remember inviting them in on second hand clothes or laying down carpets or leaving dirty linen (literally) around. Incidentally I don't think the food eating moths (mealy moths) are the same as the clothes ones.
