John L has the right idea... (1) go to police station; (2) fill out form 966; and (3) get on with your life. The more people who do this (i.e. the more separate individual witnesses), the more chance of a calming visit to our local hooligan by the cops...

yes... there is no need to be pouring paint stripper anywhere... Perhaps a word with the local planners (who are they? are there local meetings with the council like we had in merton?)about pouring a green stripe of paint on the contraflows is required? In summary, if you see hooligan-ism (or hoonigan-ism if you are Australian) write it on a "966 form" and hand it to your local policeman... + if you do, copy the blank form and send me a PDF... they are a bugger to get hold of!! And ratty, stop running all the cyclists over!!

After nearly being knocked off my bike by a local hooligan who thinks it's funny to swerve at cyclists I was a bit annoyed.... If said hooligan is reading this - cyclists are allowed to go up that road... there is a tiny tiny sign that says "one way - except cyclists". I duly attended Peckham nick and put car details and reg number on the appropriate form... I've since seen the same person wheelspinning at a zebra crossing (I imagine to scare pedestrians out of the way) and was wondering how best to deal with this. I know that London is an infuriating place to drive and can give the most civilised person road rage, but this kind of behavior is a bit much. Anyway, grumble over... What are the thoughts of the collective ED mind. - Would it be helpful if I post details of the car which is tearing up the place, and where it seems to live (locally) so people can keep a lookout? or - Should I stop complaining and get on with my life?

Hi there, I do know there is a offered / wanted items thread on this forum, but was wondering that freecycle groups people here use to acquire / get rid of stuff? Searching for them I've only come up with a general "Southwark" group... are there any others? Cheers, Steve

Hi guys, I'm trying to head up to Scotland for the days between xmas and new year. Cairngorm mountain is open and has good snow. I can get the nights of 27 to 30 in a hostel (?20pp pn) but need at least one other to share the fuel costs (diesel car, so quite cheap)... Anyone interested? Steve

Lol- did think there wasn't going to be a punk rock pub here or anything... The rock bit is more for information than for a venue requirement...

Hi guys, I have just moved to ED and my housemate is away, so I am looking for some charitable like minded people to show me what goes on in ED on a saturday night. By way of introducation I'm a late 20s trainee lawyer, I ride bmx and mtb and am a fairly typical arty/rock-kid type guy. I have worked in London for years so know the central stuff, but would like an introduction to the local ED spots. I have been told there are lots of good pubs around here, so yes, let me know if you fancy adopting me for the night in the name of local fun-times. Steve
