LOL.

I laughed early yesterday morning when the "expert" financial pundits said, "Oh no, the Fed won't bring in rate cuts early. That would signal a panic."


Isn't it also amusing how the so called highly paid, hugely bonused, financial experts in the worlds big banks have all screwed up big time to the tune of billions being written of as bad debt and billions being wiped of the stock markets. I reckon the average housewife would do a better job.

I read a story in one of the freebies given out at the train station this morning regarding the young woman murdered in Croydon and the trial of her alleged killer. He is claiming that he had sex with her dead body but didn't kill her. I don't know which is the more heinous crime, and why he would think that one is less despicable than the other. It makes your skin crawl.

With so much 'informed' opinion in the press coming from briefings in hotels or armchair pundits *ahem, wouldn't know about that* it's good to see good journalism can still get into the mainstream.


It's long at 11 pages but worth the effort

    • I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating. 
    • I saw a lot of discussion about it elsewhere  online somewhere this morning, but I can't now trace where. People heard it and were woken by it around  a wide area, including all parts of East Dulwich and Camberwell. Very antisocial, so late and on a school night.
    • Hello everyone  I have just noticed this post on the forum. If anyone out there has any old CD’s that they wish to part with, I would be happy to collect them from you (East Dulwich/Camberwell).  😀 Kind regards   
    • I've only just seen this thread but have experienced similar problems. My brown bin wasn't collected for 3 weeks (Bellenden Road). Every time I logged a missed bin collection it was marked as complete while the bin wasn't collected. I emailed the waste team on multiple occasions. I received two responses, one saying that i hadn't paid my subscription (so I replied with my receipt) and one suggesting that my bin may have been contaminated with non-garden waste. I replied to both of these and didn't receive a reply, in addition to other emails I sent. I finally emailed [email protected] and the next morning someone was out taking photos of my bin (i.e. inside the top showing that it was purely garden cuttings and another of the sticker on the outside). The bin was collected shortly after. Still no response to the complaint email.  Garden and food waste used to be collected together but I think they are separate now. They empty the food waste into red wheelie bins and then put them into a small lorry that doesn't look like a typical bin lorry.
