Very sorry to hear this, hope you reported it and are not too shook up. Due to the virtually zero police presence in the area and the perception of ED as being gentrified/well off, street crime of this nature goes on unchallenged, sadly. I thought part of our poll tax was meant to go towards having more than one (albeit very nice) police officer covering the entire area..

Same person approached me outside the Post Office on Lordship lane when I was waitnig for the bus. He launched into an obviously rehearsed spiel about needing money for an emergency flat that SE22 People charity had organised for him and his pregnant wife. He spoke at a very rapid pace, got the impression he was using amphetamines or something. I politely told him that I was unemployed and barely getting by myself while doing my best to get back into work, but he stamped on the pavement, hit the bus shelter and said something along the lines of "there's no effing poor people in this area you lying c*nt" then walked off. He seemed like a rather disturbed individual with a violent temperament. I'm pretty sure there is one or two crack houses off Lorship Lane, as there are often obvious drug addicts coming down from the ex-Police station area and catching the bus or walking away from Goose Green for the past few years. The gentrification of ED sure has brought about a range of beggars/undesirables into the area, sadly.

I know it doesn't help, but really sorry to hear about the break in. Your salon is really nicely done up and the people inside always look friendly, I hope things are sorted out as best as possible and it doesn't affect you too badly.

This sounds so low concept, it'd be rejected from any network in the near-future of Idiocracy..

Move out of Frogley road?

Make sure you tick the Copyright licence on your Flickr photos if you use that, as otherwise they are free to monetise any of your shots without asking you - so you could have family photos used in an online advertising campaign for example. This is really sad as it also prevents people such as students who have benefited from the creative commons licences used on many photos on Flickr when stuck for an image for example. 500 pix is also pretty good, but you'd soon end up paying, whereas with Flickr you do get a juicy free terrabyte of storage. You can also post your Instagram url to share photos via the web. Happy snapping (wish my LX3 hadn't died) !

Really sad to hear about the cat. You are incredibly kind to take care of it, I'm sure its carers will be grateful.

Saw 2 near misses within seconds just after 2 today, got 1 number plate and reported it. A moron driving a silver works van was texting as he cruised through the traffic lights/junction opposite The Bishop, VERY narrowly missing an elderly lady and schoolchild - he didn't even look up from his phone until he was halfway through the bloody junction. Just after he passed, I and 2 other people were crossing the other side of the road going towards Goose Green, when a woman of Chinese appearance drving an orange Juke accelerated towards the junction, with the lights still red, cut acros the road whilst screaming in Cantonese and waving one of her hands around, she almost hit one of us as the man in front of me had a limp. Sadly I didn't get her number, was too busy trying to avoid being run over by the stupid bitch. Something needs doing about this junction, I hope the lady who was injured recovers soon and her life isn't impacted too badly.

Foxy is the only poster over the years I have tried to imagine them IRL. Saw a Bernard Cribbins lookalike outside Jaflong giving it a wistful look yesterday who is my most recent suspect. May I suggest a croudsourced membership pack, a la, the old Dennis the Menace one, with a wallet and badge?

Surely this belongs in the trade section, it's not polite to spam your business in the news/gossip, and it's not the first time you've done it either. Bad form.

Seeing as the average poster seems to view the EDF as /b/ without the images, or the camaraderie, don't get your hopes up.

Just a happy ending given to a clown, after sharing some secret sushi laced with mescaline with the pug witnessed its transmogrification into an anthropomorphic Super Famicom.

Perhaps the wine vending Lothario has finally gone one shag too far?

Morley College does them sometimes, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable course in my experience.

Unforgivable husband returning home without a Chattering Classes verified cheese on toast...! But otherwise, top form! Ever since the forum started, I think this is the only ever crime related thread where the criminals have actually been caught. Saw our lovely local bobby and a WPC visiting the local shops and were in the Co-Op late this afternoon, possibly related? We need a local Police Station again.

To be honest ED and Peckham are a treasure trove for photographers, West Norwood is easily walkable from Goose Green too. Have a look on instagram or Flickr with the hashtags #SE22 #Dulwich #EastDulwich #Peckham #narm for inspiration? If you want a trial by fire for honest critique, try posting your results on 4chan's /p/ board.

Currently revisiting the back catalogues of The Southern All Stars and My name is Kloot both fine bands, the soundtrack of the (most excellent) CBGB film is also great imho.

Glad to hear you are back home and on the mend. My wife was sadly the victim of a hit and run in London many years ago and almost died; she sustained life changing injuries which went on to cause related long term conditions. In her case there were no witnesses that came forward, and she came round from being unconscious by the kerbside with people walking past her as if she wasn't there, the Police did nothing to help. I hope something IS done about this junction and that even stricter measures are taken against motorists who drive dangerously in the area, despite the side roads around Goose Green being a 20mph zone, too many stupid drivers go much faster than that. If James Barber is reading, the corner of Crawthew Grove where it meets Spurling Road regularly has drivers turning right into Spurling Road at speed or without slowing down and I have almost been hit on many occasions there.

The area around Goose Green used to be full of Sparrows, Housemartins a good amount of Robin Redbreasts and numerous other small birds when we moved here in 1980 up until the mid 90s when I noticed a rapid decline. I guess air and noise pollution are the main culprits, though there used to be more front gardens with hedges and other vegetation so that may be related I suppose.

I always suggest people build their own deck whenever possible, helps keep out OS bloat too. I kind of think it is an OS issue; if it was the screen, your power switch LED wouldn't turn off, almost all the crap Hell produce have either onboard graphics, or a passively cooled graphics card. Agree with Foxy that it's always good form to keep your air cooling clean for efficiency and it's nice to replace CPU grease every year or so, but that's not made easy with the cheap and nasty solution that'd be in your system, and as you mentioned the sound still plays, am far from convinced it's a CPU overheating issue - though again, Foxy's advice is something I wish more people would pay attention to , along with a decent HD cooling setup...Your HD may well be a Seagate drive too, so keep it backed up as they have had some pretty horrendous product lines over the last 3 years or so.

Was there an update to your graphics driver? Have you looked under Power management if the screen is set to power down after a certain time? A lot of OEM's also have a bad habit of putting extra power saving options in the graphics driver properties that are not visible in control panel, so have a look there too..

Really? It wasn't when I looked last night, thanks.

This crossing needs a lollipop man, with the stick retrofitted with an RPG launcher as a deterrent.

Question for Admin, I posted a thread earlier today thanking someone who had helped my cat, am curious as why it was deleted? It was perfectly polite, no idea why it would be deleted, seemingly without reason?

I saw the group of emergency services vehicles yesterday, very sad. This crossing has always been dangerous, so many cars turning left into it do so without slowing down much, and for some reason, drivers turning right into it often cut across the road early due to impatience at the lights, the speed increasing as the night goes on. Since we moved here in 1980 I've seen so many accidents happen on that crossing, yet nothing has been done to address it.
