Luckily not everyone shares your opinion, otherwise I'd suggest, we could all be in a spot of bother.... The fact that you don't consider that a distinct possibility suggests you are, maybe, just a touch stupid...

Not so straight forward for those caught up in the heat of battle and faced with the horrific realities of war on a daily basis for protracted periods of time...

Good for you.. I'm guessing you've never been to war? If not, give it a go. I'm pretty sure the experience would change your opinion.

You can't have it all; chivalry was killed by equality and feminism!

Guessing it's this lot...

Yep, "lets wish for a new financial crash".... genius!

I had some good food in the Cinema the other day...

Nope, it turns out that the guy who managed Koz actually owned the lease hold and can make more money from renting it out to another business and moving to Beckenham. So not a local business forced out by greedy landlords after all!! Ron70

There's already a thread on this: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1495017 I'm also gutted that Koz has gone but maybe the new "Italian Restaurant" will be a good addition? Ron70

They have different "no return" timings when the footballs on. We argued (successfully) that we didn't know the football was on. Worth pursuing if you have a reasonable argument. Ron70

I was there but left as Madonna came on (not a fan). Looks like I missed the highlight, typical! Ron70

Dropbox is simple and free, unless you keep images on there after sharing. Ron70

I'm on virgin in the area of the Great Exhibition. I'm on 50mbs and get exactly that even via wireless? I'm not sure if it makes a difference but was on the 100mbs service until recently when it was explained to me (by virgin) that I didn't download enough to justify the added cost of the 100mbs service which is mainly aimed at people who download lots of "stuff". Hence the switch which doesn't affect the speed you browse the Internet on or watching Virgin media / Netflix etc. I'm not a technical wizard but maybe worth considering? Ron70
