Power back on here on Lordship Lane...huzzah!

Part of the road just down from where I am has been cordoned off, so god knows what's happening...

Not sure if it's all of LL-I'm up the top so you might be lucky.

Yep, no power here on Lordship Lane either...pain in the chuff if you ask me.

Same happened to me - Barclays, in their infinite wisdom, decided to write to me instead of calling, and to be honest I dismissed the letter as a bank statement and it's currently sitting in a pile of unopened mail at home (I know, my bad...) Of course, they're bloody quick to ring up to try and sell me loans / other products I don't need, but not when two transactions at Somerfield are punctuated by cash been drawn out of my account in Canada. Yeah, I often pop over there for the day and draw money out...idiots.

Just called Barclays myself after trying and failing to order gig tickets online, and apparently someone's been merrily drawing my cash out in Canada. Like, great. I've recently used my card in Somerfield, HSBC ATM, Sainsbury's ATM and Barclays ATM.

Thanks Lofty...

Hi Alan, Great idea - however, bit concerned that my girlfriend might find out, and then proceed to sever my testicles off with a rusty knife (she's threatened it, believe me...) ?150 sounds great, but then again, so does sitting on the couch eating chocolate cake and breaking wind. Hmmm, decisions, decisions... Cheers...! Dan

Hi Nicky, Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I only noticed it was there last week while popping into Sainsbury's and wondered how much it was...I'm only looking to use the treadmill / rowing machine and free weights, so it sounds ideal (do they have free weights there?) I'll pop in after work tonight and have a look. Cheers, Dan

Hi folks, I moved to East Dulwich around 3 months ago, and have to say how much I like the area. Lots of good pubs / restaurants, and seems a thoroughly decent place to live (especially compared to East Bristol where I used to reside...not good...!) Anyway, I'm looking to join a gym in ED, and one that doesn't require me to sell a kidney to keep up with the monthly payments. I've scoured through the forums and read about people's experiences at various gyms, and ESPH sounds great...if out of my price range. Is anyone a member of the Hamlets Health Club, and if so, what's it like? How much does it cost to join / per month? Any other gyms worth looking into (preferably around ?40 - ?50 a month...looking to go after work / weekends). Also, any musicians / photographers on here? Been writing / recording music for years (not professionally, unfortunately...) and recently got into photography. Would be good to hear from other like minded people. Thanks a lot, Dan
