Would anyone who took a photo of the guy felling a tree by the roundabout today, please would you PM me. Thanks

Have a nice day on the march but the way to do it is on points of law

Thank you all for your advice and kind offers of help. se22cat I'll work through your suggestion, thank you. right-clicking Thank you very much, I'll certainly look at this. DulwichFox Thank you for your good advice and kind offer of further assistance. Yes, I have seen a You Tube tutorial on (my previous machine which was an Asus laptop), The person giving the tutorial claimed they cleaned the cooling system and cured the 'horizontal green bands' issue, which dealers can charge a lot of money to remedy . I will take your advice and have a look inside. Many thanks KalamityKel Well, I have yet to determine whether this is a screen issue or a screen manifestation of the an issue in the body of the computer. I have checked the cables and leads,they are all firmly fixed. I tend to agree with you, I feel this is a screen issue but the cause may be internal. I bought this system because I can get a new screen for not very much on ebay, screen function providing . Many thanks. Seasons greetings

My dell desktop PC, Windows 7 screen has begun to come and go. When it decides to go, it could be whist watching a You Tube video or checking my email or my online bank account for example, it could literally be any usage. When it 'goes', the screen will black out and the power 'on' button will turn from green to orange. If there is a sound track to a film, this will continue as normal. The screen may return to the 'on', green light within seconds or may take thirty minutes or more to return to normal viewing. Often though, the screen will have minimalized and will require maximising when it does return Curiously, this tends to happen at certain times of day and so there tends to be a pattern I would be glad of users thoughts, could this be a screen hard wear issue or a graphics chip issue? Many thanks

I know, from a conversation with him, that Andrew Brock who runs a garage on Shawberry Road, I think, is fond of Jaguars, he might be interested in a project like this. No harm in asking anyway.

Hello James Yes, it has gone. Thank you for attending to it and for taking up the suggestion. There needs to be, and I am surprised not to have seen this, a sticker or notice applied to the cycle, from the council/police, to the cycle owner, notifying them that the machine will be removed within 28 days. The issue needs to be raised in the first place of course. > > > pipsky2008 Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > James Barber Wrote: > > > -------------------------------------------------- > > > ----- > > > Hi pipsky2008, > > > Isn't that immediately outside the entrance > to > > 12 > > > studio flats above the Coop/ > > > Are you absolutely sure it hasn't moved in > any > > > way? > > > When I lock my bike up I always do it in > > exactly > > > the same way with the same locks through the > > same > > > points. > > > I'd hate for a resident to get entangled with > > > Southwark Council about as bicycle being > > removed > > > that they had legitemately parked. > > > > Hello James > > > > You are correct about the location of the > bicycle. > > I spoke to a road sweeper this morning who says > he > > hasn't seen it being moved, either arriving or > > departing, in a long time, since the end last > > summer, he says.

Hello James You are correct about the location of the bicycle. I spoke to a road sweeper this morning who says he hasn't seen it being moved, either arriving or departing, in a long time, since the end last summer, he says. I would agree with that timescale. Have a look at it's condition and road worthiness when you past it next and see what you think.

Hello James. There has been a bicycle locked to the cycle stand nearest to the entrance to the Co-op supermarket on LL for many months now. I use this stand most days and it hasn't been moved in all that time. Could it now be removed and donated to a cycle rebuild charity to free up this space. Thank you

Any Chess players free during the afternoons 4-6 ish ?

I've been playing lately after a long break. Unfortunately, my chess partner has gone back to Spain. Would anyone care for a few games? My level is fair, I would say.

Oliver Stutter is the Arboricultural Officer for the London Borough of Southwark. He will certainly be the person to advise you in this regard. His email address is oliver.stutter@southwark.gov.uk

Could you provide a link, Dr. Hamvas, to the list that says the Holm Oak has invasive roots. Thank you

It does seem reasonable to conjecture that the landlord has some sensitivity to maintaining a profitable ambiance to North Cross Road when the market isn't present

intexasatthe moment Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Mmm - so damage by removal of tree and heave could > be more significant than any existing damage > currently attributed to the tree ? There are a number of variables with each tree in each situation. Heave is more of an issue with water retentive soils that swell and contract seasonally eg clays. Free draining soils are far more constant and stable seasonally. The Arboricultural Association recommend that a mature tree in close proximity to a property be part felled to ground level over a period of perhaps 3 years to minimise any such disruption

The tree hasn't been saved, it's felling has been postponed for further consultation as Cllr Dr.Hamvas has indicated in her post. I know the tree in question, it is close to the brow of the hill on a narrow pavement which has become difficult to pass with a pram, buggy or some such. The tree is a heavily pollarded London Plane. The water table at the brow of the hill is going to be a good distance down, it stands to reason. It is likely therefore that both the structural root and feeding systems of the tree are going to stretch in a downward rather than laterally to source water and nutrients. The tree will, of course, have made a good anchoring system for itself as each tree responds to it's circumstances according to it's needs. , soil conditions, nutritional sources, soil stability, etc The concern with subsidence is occasionally, if not frequently, mistaken for the phenomenon of heave. This phenomenon occurs in any situation but becomes significant in urban areas when a tree is in proximity to a wall or property and the tree is suddenly removed, felled or dies suddenly. Heave occurs when the water that would normally be taken up by a tree is suddenly not. The surrounding soil swells greatly especially on rainfall. As a consequence, considerable vertical forces can be exerted which can and do cause damage to structures, vertical force toward the surface being the natural course of release.

And they sell Rabbit

I used to go the Peckham Pulse steam room a few years ago when I first saw them being used, so got one myself but it may have been an improvisation in the first place. I never actually asked a retailer what they are for. They are a bit fierce on the skin, if you've got a pimply back, but do the job probably alongside carrying your yams home or a hundred and one other uses
