Thanks Callie

I didn't get one of these, is there a description of the furry friend?

This is a YouTube tutorial for a step by step guide

I'm always in search of a banging coffee. As a picky customer who knows a Cotado from a flat white I'm always on the look out for the perfect brew. Old habits die hard so suggestions for places to sample the bean at its best are welcome

It was a welcome breath of fresh air and a really positive experience. Getting offline and meeting likeminded people was the highlight. Unfortunately we missed the speeches so I can't comment. Solidarity for the people of America was a driving factor for the march. But I agree a more specific agenda would have made it easier to understand.

Yes to this thread! A big shout out to my man, well the lovely old boy who works at Denmark Hill Station. He goes the extra mile with his announcements and it extremely polite. Don't make them like that any more

Hi, I'm copying and pasting from the website linked below.... hopefully there will be lots of marching boots leaving ED this Saturday: https://www.womensmarchlondon.com When SATURDAY 21 JANUARY 12PM Where THE US EMBASSY 24 GROSVENOR SQUARE LONDON W1A 2LQ Schedule 12PM MARCH ASSEMBLES IN FRONT OF THE US EMBASSY, 24 GROSVENOR SQUARE 2PM - 3.30PM RALLY IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE UPDATE: THE MARCH section of the website has now been updated. Please check it in detail for in depth information including march day tips, transport, march start point, a list of speakers and information for those bringing children or those who self identify as disabled. FAQ 1. Is The Women's March on London an anti-Trump march? Why should I march against the president of another country? The Women's March on London is not an anti-Trump march per se. Though Donald Trump's election was arguably the catalyst for a grassroots collective of women to come together and formulate the idea of the Women's March, its objective is to protect and stand up for fundamental values that have recently come under attack namely human rights, equality, dignity, safety and health. We are inviting anyone with an interest in preserving and defending those rights, to take part and show their opposition. 2. Why march on January 21st? We are marching on this date - a global day of action - in solidarity with people in the United States as well as people all over the world whose human rights are being threatened. The loss of human rights is a global issue that requires a global response. If fundamental human rights are being questioned then we believe we must take action and defend them; that's exactly what we are aiming to do with this march. 3. Why call yourselves Women's March on ...? The march was given its name by those who started this initiative in Washington DC. In solidarity, we adopted the name as the march is spearheaded BY women, but importantly is FOR everyone. 4. Is the march about women's rights? The Women's March on London is not specifically about women's rights only. However, women's rights are human rights and for that we will gladly take to the street and march. 5. It seems like you are marching for so many different issues, none of which have anything to do with women's rights at all? We disagree with the idea that racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, disability prejudice, poverty, and the environment aren't 'women's issues.' They are intertwined with women's rights because a significant proportion of women are people of colour, trans, lesbian, Muslim, disabled, economically suffering, and living on this earth. 6. Is this march only for women? No, the march is open to people of any gender. 7. Can children attend the march? Yes, children of any age are very welcome and we have been working hard to make the march as inviting and family friendly as possible. For detailed, up to date information about bringing younger marchers along, please check THE MARCH section of the website. There you'll find information about children's activities scheduled on the day as well as advice on what to consider when bringing along younger marchers. 8. Can people who self-identify as disabled attend the march? Yes, people who self-identify as disabled and those who require additional support are very welcome to march with us. Please check the THE MARCH section of the website for in depth details about disabled people's access points, disabled parking, the location of the designated area and all other crucial information. You can also find an information pack here. 9. What are you doing to ensure the march is safe? We are working closely with the police to ensure the highest level of safety. We also have highly experienced stewards assisting us on the day of the march and 20 first aiders in attendance as well. In addition there will be an experienced team of volunteer legal observers present. Please check the website under THE MARCH for all details around the matter of safety. 10. Where can I find out more information about the march? The Women's March on London was discussed on BBC's Woman's Hour, written about in The Guardian, The Telegraph, Empowering Women, TeenVogue, BBC Newsbeat, Stylist Magazine, The Evening Standard, The Evening Standard again and again here at The Evening Standard. 11. I cannot attend the Women's March on London? Are there marches anywhere else? Is there another way I can take action?

Hi kind people of East Dulwich, An update on Daniel. He had found temporary accommodation through Saint Mungos. He said it made his day having someone take the time to speak with him, listen, share a joke. He said that spare change does help but human interaction can make his day. Let's keep an eye out for each other Thanks for the advice and signposting

Hi, I am trying to help a man I met today who is living on the streets. His circumstances changed dramatically when he lost his wife and two boys in a car crash August 2016. Unfortunately he was unable to pay his rent and was thrown out of his housing association flat 4 weeks after the crash. He is desperate and I would like to know of any charities locally that may be able to help him with bereavement counselling and or somewhere to stay. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance, C

Hi, Firstly I'm ok and no physical harm occurred... This is a warning to keep your eyes peeled in the Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill area. I was walking through Ruskin Park yesterday at around 7pm and noticed a man shouting out of the corner of my eye. He appeared to be shouting at no one so I decided to exit the park and walk quickly. Glancing over my shoulder at the traffic lights by Denmark Hill station I saw he was following me and appeared to make eye contact. Partly due to the green man counting down and a sense unease I decided to run across to the other side of the road. I turned round and the man was pacing after me. I asked another man to walk me to the bus stop and kept checking over my shoulder. To cut a long story short I was chased into Denmark Hill station, hid behind a bin for a few minutes whilst the aggressive character was shouting after me and trying to find me. After a while he walked off towards East Dulwich and I reported it to the police. He continued to be aggravated and shout into the distance. So please don't make eye contact if you see this man. I'm pretty sure he would have got physical if he caught up with me. Here is a description: Around 5'10" About 35/40 years old Slim build Black Corn braids in hair Light green sweater Jeans and trainers Stay safe and keep your wits about you and call the police if you feel like you are in any danger. Hopefully the cctv in Denmark Hill station caught him and the police will catch up with him.

Boost metabolism and torch fat with these two highly effective training modalities PHA ? Peripheral Heart Action HIIT ? High Intensity Interval Training Need to know on PHA ? Developed in the 1940?s and popularised in the 1960?s by bodybuilding champions, this form of training works the extremities of the body alternately to avoid lactic acid build up. For example (10-12 repetitions at a moderate weight not compromising good technique) : Overhead Press (barbell, dumbbells, kettle bells) 30-45 seconds rest Squat (body weight, barbell, dumbbells, sandbag, kettle bells) 30-45 seconds rest Row (TRX, Cables, Dumbbells, Kettle Bells, Barbell) 30-45 seconds rest Walking Lunge (body weight, barbell, dumbbells, sandbag, kettle bells) 30-45 seconds rest Push Up (body weight, feet up on bench) 30-45 seconds rest Deadlift (barbell, cables) 1-2 minute rest and repeat 4-5 times HIIT The Week Running Need to know on HIIT ? Popularised in recent years in the fitness industry, this type of workout plays around with work to rest ratio and is perfect for those wanting to lose body fat and increase aerobic capacity in short sharp bursts whilst being ideal for ridiculously busy people. It also leaves you feeling high on life for the rest of the day! For example (using time as your work to rest ratio, getting moving before you have properly caught your breath from the previous set of ?work?. Write down what you do straight after your workout and keep track of your progress): Hill Sprint 30 seconds 15 seconds rest Plank 30 seconds Jog / Walk down the hill Repeat 5-10 times or Squat Jump / Squat (body weight) 20 seconds 10 seconds rest High Knees (body weight) 20 seconds 10 seconds rest Ice Skaters (body weight, TRX) 20 seconds 10 seconds rest Repeat this circuit 8 times with no rest in between Always warm up for 10-15 minutes using the whole body and dynamic movements to lubricate the load bearing joints with synovial fluid (the body?s natural WD40), wake up the circulatory system and help prevent injury. Always cool down and static stretch your muscles once you are able to hold a conversation and your heart rate has come down. You may want to seek advice from a medical professional before embarking on this type of training as it asks a lot from your heart and body in general. If you have no questions please reply to this thread or get in touch directly. Thanks for reading.
