You need to stay safe by being aware of your surroundings...


Not being over dramatic. There is real danger.

What a load of scaremongering rubbish. I would advise against running with your headphones with music on full blast to provide some awareness of your surroundings and obstacles you may encounter, but not wearing them in case you get attacked - come off it. Last time I checked, we dont live in a high crime area with joggers being targetted by criminals hiding in the shadows of SE22.... Ridiculous.


The fear of crime....

That is where you are most at danger... Display your Phone in public attracts thieves.

wearing headphones will also bring attention to yourself that you have some valuable kit on you worth stealing.

and you will not hear someone creeping up on you.


People have been killed wearing headphones whilst running/cycling


It is just common sense... Not scaremongering rubbish.

Worst sort of scaremongering, get a grip foxy!!


It took me years before I dare set foot on a farm lest I drowned in a slurry pit whilst being crushed by hay stacks, ploughed up by a tractor and electrocuted whilst getting my frisby (that may have been another one).


There's one thing promoting sensible caution and another to tell people THEY'll DIE IF THEY WEAR osbourne stewart HEADPHONES!!!!!!

Ok I was Scaremongering... No need to be concerned whilst out jogging by your self on a dark evening..


In that case may I suggest:-


The Sennheiser Orpheus may be a great pair of headphones for audiophiles, but what about those who prefer style over sound quality? Well, that?s what the world?s most expensive earbuds are for.


Created by Thomas Heyerdahl of Heyerdahl Jewellery, the same person behind the iDiamond iPod, these blinged out buds aren?t just a one-off for charity?they were carefully constructed in a series of 1,000. Each pair of iDiamond ear earphones is made of 18 karat gold set with 204 diamonds (1.65 carats total). Each pair is numbered, so you know that your pair is entirely unique.


Of course, getting one now may be a hassle. They were distributed to high end jewelry stores in March of 2008 and, at the time, sold for $6,400. Considering their limited availability, purchasing a pair now might require a considerably larger investment.

You should also consider a decent watch:-


Swiss watchmakers such as Patek Philippe , Vacheron Constantin , Girard-Perregaux and the like. Oh, they?re going to cost you?$200,000 per easily, and much, much more if you really want to splurge.


Do roll up your sleeves though so it is on full view..


You should have no trouble in East Dulwich.. There is no crime...

I wouldn't dream of wearing earphones on a run. Nothing to do with the fear of crime but rather the fear of ending up on a bonnet - and more especially because I love the experience of being outside and actually hearing everything around me (wildlife etc.).


And anyway, there's enough hurting as I go round so the idea of sore ears afterwards isn't what I need too.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
