This post by louisiana has had me in stitches for much of the time:


'uman rights

Posted by: louisiana Yesterday, 05:00PM


Today, I have been accosted by some demolition peeps undertaking unlawful work (according to Southwark council; Southwark planning enforcement due to visit, when they get a moment in their busy schedule) a few feet from my bedroom window, who said I was contravening their ooman rights by taking photos of what they were doing with a 30-foot-high caterpillar (major works, none with permission).


I feel I'm in the midst of an Partridge sketch.


What is the craziest citation of 'uman rights that you have come across?

Translate


I had to meet someone yesterday for an interview. As part of my prep I googled his/her name just in case there was any information online that might be useful to me. In the link select the 1st item and hit the translate button on the right. The translation I can only presume leaves something to be desired but the end product is an article worth reading. Sadly the Tam Chung I met was not someone I'd want to share this experience with.

A sad story, in fact, but something about it made me think of poor old Tony.BexleyGardenCentre. I'm afraid the Pot Noodles were the clincher.

Seem to remember that his (hot, Jamaican, possessive) actual ladyfriend was jealous of the potential rivalry from his (hot, possessive, Sierra Leonian) cleaner, or something.


Suffice to say, the only reasonable conclusion to draw was that there was, indeed, a cavalcade of ethnic foo-foo competing for a slice of the T.LS.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
