Re: Sorry peeps a little rant about committees.

I don't think it's a rant at all, Summerbreeze. No, I regard it as an entirely legitimate concern. A concern that I share and stated as much in the thread in which it was mentioned that a local committee member wished her identity to remain a secret. I mean, only an idiot would be blind to te fact t...

Well, it can be justified, actually. Just not this far down the food chain.

Re: SAYING YES TO THE MOSAIC ON THE NABORHOOD CENTRE?

I was introduced to a group as the Sydenham Mosaic Committee, and started to make a note of their names. One immediately insisted very strongly that I should not publish her name on this Forum - or put it in the public domain in any other way, I assume. I have subsequently been told that should I d...

Re: Miriam Lodge 185 Dartmouth Road

You've misquoted ALIB, Dorian. It was Eagle that (predictably) disparagingly opined on where police officers were accomodated in the past, and what alternatives (or lack thereof) are available to them now.

Re: Intellectual Property

All joking aside, Mary, and I'm being serious on this, but it sounds like you're in possession of what could turn-out to be a valuable idea. By all means shoot me down in flames, but judging by your tone on this thread, perhaps it might be a good idea to seek the advice of a solicitor before circula...

Re: Billings Fishmonger and NOW BUTCHER!

Well, if you've never been in you wouldn't know why people are saying it's such a good addition to our high street, therefore you have no reason to complain about people saying they like it. If you had been in and thought it was rubbish or even average then you would have every right. Hi, G-Man. In...

Re: 255-269 Sydenham Road - Planning Application

Following Tim's tacit - not to mention pre-emptive - accusation of cowardice on the recent Billings thread, I've been directed to answer a question that I've been accused of avoiding. My only excuse is that I forgot about it. Tim & Dorian, I'm also afraid to inform you that I have no online evid...

Tim, I fully understand that you enjoy using the textlink function, but in this instance your enthusiasm has got the better of you.

Besides the pedantic, what's wrong with promoting a good local business? Pedanty aside, nothing at all. Isn't it good to be positive about something local BBW? Yes, within reason. Do you dislike Billings? I hold no animosity towards Billings or its proprietors. I'm even willing to admit that I've n...

Actually you are wrong. They are also a butcher.
Butcher, baker or candlestick maker, they are also just a shop - however rare a service they provide. I just don't buy into the all the recurring enthusiasm.

Re: Billings Fishmonger and NOW BUTCHER!

Am I the only member of this forum who hasn't been gripped by Billings 'fever'? Seriously, it's just a fishmonger for God's sake. What's with all the (occasionally dubious) hysteria? Do the proprietors offer concessions in return for endorsement, or what? Don't hesitate to contact me privately if yo...

Torchwood fan, eh, Kirkdale Boy? I never really got into it myself, but welcome aboard, all the same. It's nice to see a new arrival that's not afraid to dip their toes in as early as you. It'd be nice to see more of your outgoing ilk arriving on this board in the near future too.
