It's just a bit of fun.

Let's not start with the computer-code-knowing dickswinging thing.

If the full url wasn't shown (posted as a link) then I guess it wouldn't have been such a giveaway.


Someone did this to me and managed to make up a fake BBC news webpage, with my pic embedded in it (dynamic, like this - taking the pic also from facebook). Now that was clever, and caught me out for a while! The headline was "Person wanted for questioning".

This person has more spare time on his hands than I do.


Is he available for lunchtime drinking?


Anytime after 11am will be fine, thinking about it.

Come now, AcedOut.. I think everyone knows what little time computer tekkie types actually spend working.


A rough job breakdown would be:


15% explaining to 'civilians' how difficult it will be to accomplish the task they've been set.

5% doing the job itself.

80% on Facebook, general dickswinging and Googling ex-girlfriends.

It is definitely not downright dangerous.


We do not want to stop people linking to other websites in their messages and, as in this case, it is on another website that the script runs. We cannot be responsible for other websites and their contents as there are rather a lot of them. I would however recommend that people keep their internet browsing software up to date (FireFox 3 is especially recommended) as their increased security may help those worried by malicious scripts.


Security on the forum is reviewed frequently and any issues we discover are addressed immediately.

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
