I did think the helicopter might be linked to the Kingswood Estate stabbing last night? https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/crime/update-twelve-people-arrested-over-kingswood-estate-stabbing/

I've got a bag of useful things I'm trying to give away on the classified page, but gaining no traction. Would be a shame for it to go to waste! Please let me know if interested x /viewtopic.php?t=2236089

"The court heard Mrs Ranford had sought to avoid the ?enormous costs? of a trial and offered her neighbours ?13,000 to settle the case earlier, but it had been refused." Well, there you go. Sounds like an expensive lesson was learnt. Having also been taken to court by a neighbour for completely spurious reasons, I can understand a little how Mrs Ranford feels. However, she still needs to pay 20% of her legal fees which could well end up being more than the amount she offered to settle. What a waste of time and money.

Oh how sad. We regularly see/saw that cat when walking back from nursery. What a dangerous and heartless motorist. -

kids opting for covid vaccine without parents permission
tarafitness replied to bodsier's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I think it is morally bankrupt and sets a dangerous precedent. It should be up to parents what is injected into their children, particularly when it comes to experimental therapies that have no long term data, and whose risk profile is greater than that of the disease they purport to protect against. https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/07/13/covid-19-vaccines-for-children-hypothetical-benefits-to-adults-do-not-outweigh-risks-to-children/ -
New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham
tarafitness replied to LondonMix's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
That was rather rude, and completely inaccurate. Average life expectancy was lower in previous centuries because of the high rates of infant mortality, deaths during childbirth and from acute diseases and infections (this is by no means an exhaustive list). Those surviving to early adulthood greatly increased their likelihood of living a longer life. Don't confuse life expectancy - which is largely influenced by environment - with lifespan, which has changed a lot less than you'd expect. Interesting article by the BBC here. Age alone cannot account for the diseases that were basically unheard of 150 years ago. Fun fact: Type 2 Diabetes mellitis was previously called 'adult onset diabetes', until children started developing it. Fatty liver disease was something that only affected alcoholics, and cancer and heart disease - which are presenting in younger and younger people were extremely rare. I'll repeat my message "just eat real food" and leave it at that (happy to talk over PM though). If anyone's interested in learning how it all went so terribly wrong, here's an exquisitely well researched and written book by the author Nina Teicholz :) Peckhampam Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > What Alice said.

New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham
tarafitness replied to LondonMix's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
There's nothing wrong with fat from natural sources, like animals and dairy. Humans have been consuming them for thousands of years. We only became unhealthy when we started adding in industrial seed oils, ultra refined grains and sugar. The BHF are quoting outdated and inaccurate diet dogma. The dietary fat guidelines that influenced our own were not based on any real scientific evidence, and precipitated the explosion of obesity and chronic disease. Eat like your great great grandparents did, or better still, their grandparents. Eat real food, in as close to its natural state as possible. Think about it logically, meat and cheese are not new things, chronic disease is.

Dietary cholesterol has zero effect on serum (blood) cholesterol.

Fox outside looking in a sorry state
tarafitness replied to tarafitness's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Apologies for not replying sooner. When I went back the fox had gone - as had the ham my toddler chucked at it, so perhaps that's a good sign. I'm hoping its mum/family came and found it. Thanks for your responses, Tara. -

Not hungry or keen to move/hide -
There's a young fox outside 22 upland Road (between the family store newsagents and the caf?. It's just outside the door hunched over looking very unhappy and not moving. Is there anyone/organisation that could help? With toddler so have had to leave, but it's still there after quite a while...

Saw a black cap the other day, for the first time ever. Was walking around my favourite part of the park - the lovely path near the skate park with the full tree canopy overhead that makes it dark and welcoming to birds. I heard a beautiful song, and then a little brown bird with a black head flew past me and alighted on the branch of a bush. Really lovely. Haven't heard the swifts yet, looking forward to that.

Our nursery is asking for 20%, and kindly accepting more if people are able to pay.

Was in PR Park after lunchtime. Lots of people, but all maintaining a decent distance. Was quite impressed. It was all so considerate and civilised.

She has availability from > April on Lordship lane > www.circlepsychologypartners.co.uk Ooh yes, good point, challenges are a great way to assess how your body responds when you eliminate something for a set period. Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind (which is such an excellent read/listen), runs a free 30 day challenge called?The Alcohol Experiment.? You get a daily email with tips and videos, as well as access to the challenge site where you can find more info/support, journal your experiences throughout the 30 days, and connect with others (if you wish). I've read that 30 days might not be long enough to see health changes in full.? I'm 69 days in and feel a lot better than I did at 30.? A popular challenge is the 100 Day Sober Challenge.? Clare Pooley set herself that number of days, and then blogged about it.? Her blog led to a book called The Sober Diaries, which is very funny and at times incredibly touching.? It's also so relatable if you're a mum! Other books-wise: yes, The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober is a fantastic read!? I also enjoyed Quit Like a Woman, Blackout, Sober Curious, Alcohol Lied to Me and We are the Luckiest (all listened to as audiobooks read by the authors themselves).? I'd love to discuss some of these with anyone else who has read them.? A few of these books also have associated facebook support groups, and there are online community sites such as Soberistas and Club Soda, the latter being a great source of information regarding low/no alcohol drink options/companies, venues that stock them, and forthcoming events.? Oh yeah, and they've recently started up a Club Soda podcast, which seems quite fun, with interviews and helpful info :)? I've also been listening to back episodes of the Home Podcast, which was one run by Holly Whitaker and Laura McKowen (two of the authors from the list above) for a few years.
