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.

      Fines for parking in loading bay for 2 minutes - appeal?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.

      Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!

      Derelict Grove Tavern

      By jazzer · Posted

      Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
