I live near East Dulwich station and have subsidence. Claim, monitoring and site inspections going on now. When I bought my flat a few years back the surveyor picked up on some cracks but didn't say specifically it was subsidence so the mortgage went through. My current surveyor said it is due to the rather large trees in front of and at the back of my place which I am sure we are going to have fun and games getting the council to remove. The cracks close in winter and open up in summer by up to 4mm (not that bad apparently but looks horrible and causes doors to jam and locks to become tough). My surveyor said there has been an increase in the number of subsidence claims he's been dealing with in East Dulwich, but they have been caused by large trees which have not been properly maintained by the council. Perhaps your buyer's bank has access to subsidence claim info hence they are being difficult (wish mine had been more difficult so I wouldn't have had to deal with this!!)

I called Southern to moan about the lack of carriages and they sent me a letter with a bit of good news. At the moment we have services at 7:29, 7:51 and 8:05 with 8, 6 and 6 carriages respectively. From May 2010 there will be trains at 7:29, 7:34, 7:46, 7:57 and 8:04 with 6, 4, 6, 6, and 6 carriages. So in total 8 more carriages in this half hour busy period and two extra services :-)

Hi Barry I was on the 8:05 from ED yesterday - now cut to 6 carriages. It was packed. Today I got the 7:51, same as last week - 6 carriages and completely packed - people at Peckham Rue could not squeeze on. Why is it during off-peak there are 8+ carriage trains going to and from ED from LB, yet during peak times they get slashed to 6 carriages? I'd be really grateful if you could ask your powers that be what is going on please! Thanks very much

Hi Barry Just wondering, what's going on with the 7:51 frm ED to LB in the mornings please; there's only ever six carriages these days and it's sardine central. Could we have some more carriages please? It's a rush hour train and it's a scrum to get on. Thanks!

hot men

Yes, and on a SATURDAY NIGHT too. Premium night - you're in there bbkings ;-)

Yay!!! Is date 2 lined up yet?

Or she may knee him in the groin, poke his eyes out and set the dog on him...oooh gosh, you've got me going now! Can't say I've ever done that to a man who's tried to chat me up, even though a few of them had been beaten with he ugly stick.

and what if she happens to be a lesbian in a long-term relationship? She will be flattered by the attention nonetheless and go home and brag to her GF that some guy chatted her up in the park. Her GF may become terrified that she may lose her, and to a man, and promptly propose. :))

your point being?

ooooh how exciting, i'm off to buy a hat!

Hmmmmmm. Take a closer look next time, ask what type of dog she's got and act exceedingly interested asking more questions where appropriate whilst copping a load of her left hand. If she's not wearing any rings then it's game on for you, doesn't matter if she says she's got a BF; no rings, no strings :-) Good luck.

have you looked to see if she's wearing a wedding ring?

Welcome! Don't know if you're full-time employed but how about doing a shift once a week in one of the bars around here? Get paid to socialise... If that's a no-go I'd suggest joining one of the running clubs (do a search on here) or the tennis club up the road.

The number 40 bus - the recording of that woman with nasal voice announcing at each and every flipping bus stop, "BUS STOPPING AT NEXT BUS STOP, PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF DOORS". I can't decide if it's 1) her nasal whine, 2) her stating of the utter obvious, or 3) the fact she has omitted a "THE" before "doors" that upsets me the most. I have not ventured on that bus for over a year now because I used to twitch for hours after hearing her dulcid tones...
