  1. My friend lives near Southwark Park. Since the display has been changed to a ticketed display and they want to control entrance, some roads around the park are closed to traffic that evening. My friend has a letter saying that they will not be allowed to leave or enter their own close by car between four and nine pm on Sat 5th. There can be no visitors, no deliveries, no taxis ... Its her birthday that day, but she can't even have a little do or anyone popping in! if she wants to go out on that day or come back you have to leave your name, and vehicle details with the council etc PRIOR to the event.It also gives suggestions of where you can park over half a mile away, if you not leave your details. There were several arguments with stewards last year because of these problems. one lady was tried to be stopped collecting her distressed daughter from the train station, someone else had visitors that were turned away, and a wife/carer was stopped from using her husbands car on a mercy dash which wasn't on the list .... ITS DISGUSTING THAT PEOPLE ARE VIRTUALLY UNDER HOUSE ARREST, FOR A FEW LAME FIREWORKS and a bit of waste of the councils time and money, not to mention upset to the all the animals .....
  2. Being in the unfortunate position of disposing of my mothers estate and clearing the house for sale to pay for Dads care, I chose GREENWICH AUCTIONS as a reliable and reputable company, who would be able to assist, appraise and sell the items.I didn't want to be RIPPED OFF BY A HOUSE CLEARANCE COMPANY. They cleared the whole house of over 40 years of collectibles, antiques, furniture, china, coins, paintings, etc including the shed of old hand tools etc. They said they put items online (which I hoped would help, being available to collectors) and would fetch a very good price. They LOST items and secreted lost items like a valuable regency chair and a collection of rare coronation china, amongst other lots (sold for ?12!!. They sold four worcester figures for ?8!! They sold a collection of oriental china for ?18 !! The items were not online (only an advert for themselves), When I complained about lost items and not agreeing to the prices, I was sent a nasty "without predjudice" letter saying I had agreed their terms and should have discussed prices. I had tried to but the person was always "doing valuations and would call back" .... I wasn't given any estimates to discuss, only a short phone call before they shut one friday to say they were selling some items saturday morning. Then they went on holiday for 2 weeks. EVERYTHING WAS SOLD OFF FOR LESS THAN JUMBLE SALE PRICES !!! They sold approx 30 sylvac, beswick figures for FIVE POUNDS. Dealing with everything that was on my plate at the time, maybe I trusted them too much. Their costs of clearance and 25% sales charges outweighed what I got, which for a 3 bedroomed house of antique furniture, paintings, and hoarded collections was ?1200. They got ?1400. I have been left feeling that I have allowed myself to be ripped off, very anxious and let down.Very dodgy all round.
  3. My "stories/sketches" have been deleted (understand to a point as they were quite pointless) .. as well as a couple of other postings - the "worst pub, swallow tattoo" I merely explained what they represented, sailor, ex -con etc ?? But its okay for others to troll and bully ??? I will not be back.
  4. Will it have to not compete with French Bistro and sea master chip shop?
  5. The way things are going, I think EBOLA would be more pleasant. FFS !! Do this, don't do that, how very dare you !! Blah, blah, blah !! Do something useful, go back to the family room, and tell them how to potty train or wean their ten year old ....
  6. Sorry ... you are not Alan Medic are you? I didn't think I was "blocking up the forum". Just posting a few separate silly reads ... I hope I am properly attired also, how should I dress to attend this forum, like ladies day at Ascot, or perhaps when one gets commanded by the Lord Chamberlain to attend Lillybet's garden party in June, full burka ??? Don't want to upset anyone offs!!
  7. "I'm actually at Kings tomorrow about my lungs.. as I was exposed to Asbestos over a 13 year period working for The GPO / BT back in the 70's. " Is Dr Grey still in charge of the Chest Clinic I wonder. I used to go and play in Asbestos all through the school hols. There was an abandoned "Esso" depot/wharf. There were stinky bunkers/broken rusty tankers and asbestos to make camps out of. Happy days !! splutter !!
  8. I am sitting on Goosey Green now, I come here when garage is full of other new people. It is very nice considering I used to live in a 6ft shed with thirty other people. The arsonist keeps us warm sometimes. The drinkers are very funny, one sits on the green in his pants sometimes they shout loudly and swear but they have nothing else to do and they are paid to do this it is their job. Sometimes many doors slam like thunder. The young men are bored that is why they break into cars and are stealing stuff and smoking herbs and doing something with silver bottles. If they had land to run on and hunt wildebeest and many wives they would not be bored. They could go into Peckham Rye instead of hanging round the streets they could see who can run like like a cheetah who could jump like a gazelle they could see into the dark like jungle cats.They could throw sticks very far. Sometimes the local police visit to be told to go away so they go away back to the police village in their police cart. Sometimes the police stay longer but that might be for food. I think they were invited to a party the other week I was not invited. Everyone in the village should be invited. There is a lady who collects metal one sunday she cut up a sink unit all day to recycle it is very good of her to do this service for the council. There are people with dogs who do poopsies and leave it but the council man sweeps it is his job so the dog people are very kind to provide this employment for the man. I am looking for a job too. I do not want to sweep poopsies. I want to be in a Chas and Dave tribute band I have $40 million dollars that I could spend if I could get it out of my seized bank account ....... Im sooooo bored.
  9. Hello guys vote for me again. I have really nice hair. My anthems are all from yesteryear ?love of the common people? ?bad boys? ?orvilles song?. For thirty years or so i?ve listened to you locals whinging about mould in your flats, roadworks, the c**kroaches that are overcrowded etc. Just yesterday I got a letter from a c**kroach that is going to be deported I am standing up for him in Parliament. I've lived here in East Thingy in the same place for many years. Who do I have to go and whinge at no one. I stand for East Thingy and I continue to stand until I can?t stand it, I mean I can?t stand until I?m legless oh you know what I mean. Stringvest is bored !!!!
  10. I went in the posh burger I am so cheeky I asked for a noknickersbocker glory I had one before that was behind the Co-op tho no wot I mean! Little angelos is doing well he said his first words the other day they were swearwords but he is six so bless ay. He went to his friends party little Asda was cute in her outfit it was supposed to be designer but we got it from the market and it says fucci but what you do expect no wot I mean. Granny did the party shes 32 now. I saw a woman that got runover by an iceland van but was saved by a large pepperoni if she spends ?25 its delivered for nuffink perhaps she can get down there on her crutches. You can get moved house on medical grounds if you?re upstairs you could go downstairs. I saw a bloke in his pants sitting outside his council flat. I swear hes had them pants on since Christmas last year the council got told he had a squatter in dem pants but it was just some dead rats. So the council did nuffink as usual. The council are rubbish you know. The police were not invited to our party some scum trying to sleep at 3am had the front to complain about the noise the police took some sausage rolls and left I told em to go away. That was when angelos spoke his first words it was sumfink like bog off Babylon amazing i dunno where he lernt it from. I dont know who they think they are coming round here giving it the biggun. Like we got angelos a Rottweiler for his birthday and left in the garden. Then the rubbish council came and said I am supposed to clear up the mess I said I don?t fink so the poopsie man does it and its not my garden its the councils garden who do they think I am alan titmarsh or sumfink. Angelos cant play out there for all the stinging nettles and weeds and dogs do and broken furniture but the council wontdo nuffink.
  11. chief inspector remorse of the ED Plod Hi groovy lovely peeps of the area. Its a lovely place East Dulwich. I work there but I wouldn?t live there I?ve got a large house in surrey next door to bankjob bill hes a nice repentant chap he does gardening now lots of poly tunnels and hydroponics can?t think what he?s upto. I must send the wife and ask for our hedge trimmer back and our kitchen scales I don?t know what he wants them for but there was white powder on them last time he used them Mrs Remorse baked a cake and spent all night cleaning our abode with a toothbrush and talking gobbledygook! Ahhh the days I spent as a young pc down at the Den what jolly fellows the bushwackers were they gave me a little congratulatory card one day after they whacked me with a scaffold pole I was in brocklehurst St armed with a dustbin lid. West Ham were such trouble makers it was always their fault the fiends. The millwall crowd sing with such pride ?Nonone likes us we dont care? but they should care and people do like them especially when they gave out little gift cards with their beatings. I was promoted during the millwall riots it was a clerical error it was the police horse Dobbin who was supposed to go up a grade after he famously took a calling card with his hoof after he was hit with a brick of course the brick was fully intended for some hammers fans and who can argue with that. Ahhh Dobbin the only lasagne with a medal. The crime rate in the area is pretty low and its due to my hard work those figures don?t massage themselves you know! Those of you who have been to the station will know it looked tatty with peeling paint for many years because we don?t waste money on paint or police officers and thats thanks to me. The station is now closed and thats thanks to me too. You guys have a lot to thank me for like not having any officers available during the riots so you could help yourselves and the installation of our plastic policemen with no powers of arrest! There less arrests less crimes! How clever am I? You can try and phone us and get a very friendly answerphone telling you that we are not available! I will be retiring soon only a few more months in the phone box at Goose Green we now call home before I get my million pound a year pension for the next forty years. To think mummy wanted me to be a dentist or gp or a merchant banker like Daddy. A lot of people think the police are silly Billy?s but I went to university I am good at hiding ? creative accounting ? and needlework! Well one wouldn?t want to collect an MBE with a button missing. Please look after my pcs if ever you get to see one they are often hungry and if you want to bung them some cash too that would be good as phone boxes aren?t cheap. Toodle pip citizens.
  12. *Bob*'s Wig Re-homing Centre !! Do they have an open day where one could possibly meet one's new companion? Can one volunteer and perhaps help tame a feral topper so that it gets a second chance of finding a loving and warm forever head to call home? (once they are neutered and vaccinated of course). I will donate a frittata decorated with asparagus and served with a rocket salad. Thanks
  13. "swallow tattoo - he actually slowly explained" ex-sailor, fist fighter, ex-prisoner? lovely !!!
  14. No, really !! About three times now I have stopped the car appropriately circumstances permitting ... to retrieve someones poor pet cat from the road only to find its an abandoned wig or weave !! Just the other day I had to drive from Kings arms to Barry Rd to turn round and come back to inspect the poor deceased creature that had once adorned a head !!!
  15. No-one bothers to catch anyone doing stuff. They litter, leave dog poop, phone while driving .....
  16. Re: Atheist rebels The Jains now theres a troublesome lot.
  17. Hello Fox, it depends whose around as to whether it is pleasant or not. Watch out curmudgeon about !!
  18. Thanks people for your replies. I will contact the council for advice. I know I probably could get the offending half cut by tree surgeons, but probably at considerable expense, as the canopy is so large. It used to be a pretty flower filled pathway, but as neighbours have come and gone (and my relatives are too frail to do anything), its full of bins, overgrown and quite neglected. Shame.
  19. Sorry - Oh dear = Im soooo old !
  20. Most "drinking drunk Legends" are pains in the butt .... We've sadly had alcoholics in the family, they start at the pub too much, lie and thieve, can end up homeless, alienate all their friends and family because they are fed up with trouble, calling ambulances when they are unconscious in their own poop, and end up dying in hospital of liver failure. Happy days !!!
  21. Blinkylilyput wrote "Then use an example that doesn't include children and young people (many of whom have indeed received little education for various reasons)who are bravely and gallantly protesting about the loss of an organisation that provided them with the care and support they need to thrive despite poverty, trauma, neglect, deprivation, violence etc" I understand, but the children didn't get the sheets and placards and paint them all by themselves - they were helped by their appropriate adults ... who cannot spell ??? It says something. As do people in charge of health matters who cannot differentiate between sufficient and deficient. "poverty, trauma, neglect, deprivation, violence etc" been there !!! Thanks.
  22. Where was he discovered? Behind the sofa?
