Me too - not so bad I can warrant a day off work, but very bunged up/low energy. Sore throat. Has been 8 days now :-(

Anyone know of any displays tomorrow? (Sunday) Seems to be lots of people about tonight & loads of traffic so I guess they are still happening! Haven't had a chance to see any this year yet :(

Hi all, I have just noticed this thread is dedicated to the wonderful Wood Vale (I am also a resident - Woodlands Court, 91 Wood Vale) and just wanted to let it be known that I am a Nanny (CRB checked, First Aid trained with full clean driving licence and car)and babysitter! I currently look after a 4 year old boy in East Dulwich, however I have some availability this week and wondered if my help may be needed with a child aged 2.5 years or up? I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9.30am-4.30pm. I charge ?10 per hour and a minimum of 4 hours is required. With the wonderful Hornimans Park on our doorstep, a nice day out could be had! If this sounds of interest to anyone, please do send me a private message on here, or call or text me on 07981 854 435. Many thanks, Becky ----Edited to add: My evening babysitting rate is ?7 per hour :-)

I get the 12 everyday to and from work, so in both rush-hours (and literally from start of route to end!)Takes around 1hr 15mins minutes(sometimes less depending on traffic at Whitehall/Trafalgar Square) but I just read my book so suits me. As I get on at the starting point of each journey, I now always get a seat upstairs, and am generally sitting alone (on my 2 seats) until Camberwell (fills up quicker coming back). Getting on at Oxford Circus is no longer a crush to get on a grab a seat either. I much prefer it, and have noticed they come alot more frequently. (tu) from me!

Haha ryedalema! I bet you looked dashing! ;-)

Agree 100% with Mr Poole. Excuses Excuses. These youths choose crime because they think they can get away with it, pure & simple. They wanted TV's & trainers and saw the perfect opportunity. I hope every last one of them gets caught and are dealth with appropriately.

ED update anyone??

Any more updates? Is ED now quiet?

Why don't they just bring in the military?? I'm actually quite scared now, it's too close.

Thanks everyone! Will have a look at them all :)

Hi all, Looking for a nice B&B in Brighton to get away for 1st wedding anniversary. Been to a few over the years, but have always been searching for something better... Have you been anywhere particularly nice? Do you come from there, and know someone who runs a lovely little establishment? Thanks for any help! (tu)

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I read this when I went to France for a week a couple of years ago, I absolutely fell in love with it. Absolutely fantastic, couldn't put it down. I have his next book ready and waiting for France again in September!

Hi GGPTA, I have some (not loads!) of these too - can you give me an address to send them too please? Thanks, Becky

These boots are made for walking - Nancy Sinatra

I usually get the 12 every day too, so I hope this gets sorted soon.

Haha cheers TillieTrotter...

I have lots of friends (men & women) who drink in the Castle (along with myself) and we are respectable, hard working people. No doubt you have never even drank in the Castle, but are posting insults to those of us that do just because you can! How ridiculous (6)

One thing I would never touch is a ouija board - the thought of it just terrifies me. My mum always made me promise to never do one - I got the impression she'd done one and not had a good experience, but she never told us anything about it. Probably didn't want to scare us! Great thread by the way, keep 'em coming people (tu)

My dad grew up in Africa, and one day went to a derelict church with some school friends (they were only about 9) to do a ouja board. They sat down and began asking if anybody was there etc. Two friends of his (girls) were sitting opposite him. Suddenly, one turned to the other and began screaming at her in a deep, male voice. The other girl was crying, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry". The male voice was shouting that it was all her fault, that there were too many children to look after. Dad said it was clearly a husband and wife arguing. They absolutely freaked out and never spoke about it again. I think the girls were left rather traumatised by it... My mum grew up on a large, old farm in Essex, and would often wake up in the middle of the night, and see an old lady sitting in the rocking chair in her room. She had a big old bedroom, and would hear it creaking as she ducked under the covers in terror. When she built up the courage to mention it to her dad (she was only about 5) he just said "Don't worry, she wont hurt you - that's just the ghost of Canterbury's, (the name of the farm) she was here long before us". After that it was almost normal for her to see this old woman around the old house.

About 8 years ago (when i was a teen) a friend and I were alone in my house. We were in my bedroom, playing music really loudly and singing along. We were recording ourselves singing on her mobile phone, and listening back to it after every song (we though it was hilarious) Anyhoo, after about an hour of this, we played back our latest tune and it was completely silent....you could hear a slight crackling where it had obviously recorded, but no music what so ever. We were slighly baffled that it hadn't worked like it had a million times before. When it got right to the end of the recording, we heard a male voice shout "shut up". It was a scary voice, clearly annoyed at the noise we had been making. The house was detached, on a very quiet road, so it wouldn't have been anyone outside or anything like that. My friend burst into tears and refused to stay any longer, and left as soon as my mum got home. It was terrifying - it was a really scary, male voice (bearing in my mind dad didn't live with us/no brothers or anything)so no-one playing tricks. I had other experiences in that house too, waking up in the night and hearing someone walking across my carpet, but not seeing anything. Often felt someone kiss my cheek to. Never since - only ever in that house!

15 years old?? WTF? Utterly tragic. RIP.
