Re: Some minor observations
You did back peddle somewhat after I told you I had dyslexia. Which was also a lie, but I can't be bothered sometimes and I like the pedantry, twisted I know. Ha Ha!! That's the spirit, Mike. The admission of dishonesty really did make me laugh. You twisted ol' emotional blackmailer, you! Do keep i...

Re: Some minor observations
I joined this site a little while ago, as I have always been a keen supporter of community and community spirit with the community in which myself and family live. Last I night spent a long time reading through the threads and posts to get a feel of people around on here before I start to really co...

Re: The Bad News
there will be significant numbers of newish property owners who are stuck here, perhaps with the tastes Dot and the Wolf like to make fun of I say, Tim, that's a dash harsh! I like to think that I treat you all with equal contempt. Not just the tattooed and toothless vagrants that plague the thorou...
Re: GOOD NEWS
Revealing - a bit like someone who says 'My friend has this real psychological problem ...' and it's obvious it's him. So by pretending it's Lee who wants those further chi-chi shops on Sydenham Road, we read the real mind of the Wolf. Not so, Timworthy. Last night, the forum experienced the overwh...

Re: A little light mugging.....
Sorry to read about your little 'confrontation', Andy. Thankfully you weren't hurt; and will be a bit more vigilant when passing through that part of Sydenham in future as it is a bit rough, especially at night. So the police are actually advising us that we can't safely walk our own streets going a...

Re: New to Sydenham
Why not join a gang. There are loads to choose from around here.Now the evenings are getting longer, I was wondering if there are any sports clubs/book clubs/evening classes/social clubs running in Sydenham, or any website I could look up that advertises these things?

Re: car parking and repairs
Sounds like a working man just trying to earn a few bob in hard times? To a certain extent I understand what you're saying, Kenny. And I'm sure that there are hundreds, if not thousands, or ad hoc mechanics who are just trying to earn a few extra pounds in these choppy financial waters we find ours...

Re: car parking and repairs
No, it's a nuisance and against planning regulations. Several years ago, a man who was doing what you've described in the Derby Hill estate was successfully prosecuted and fined for repeatedly ignoring council warnings.

Re: Tomcat keeps getting in, advice please.
I know, but make sure you return the body to its owners, Mike. Otherwise they'll be sick with worry. Though how you explain the hideous injuries is down to you. Make sure you keep us all informed and the result of any course of action you choose to take. Some pictures would be nice. The more graphic...

Re: Tomcat keeps getting in, advice please.
Mike, the only language cats understand is violence. Surround the inside of the cat-flap with razor wire which will snare the trespassing cat. When you return from work, you can either put it in the microwave or bash its brains out with a spade.
The choice is yours.

Re: Tomcat keeps getting in, advice please.
Being bullied by the local neighbourhood Tom, Mike. You have my sympathies. It's not nice when you're being persecuted by a cat. It reminds me of my own experience at the paws of a malicious moggy. When I was little, I was given two rabbits who I named 'Daff' and 'Dill'. I loved those rabbits and I ...

Re: Party at Beltwood House?
From what I remember, there were some promoted events held there 6-7 years ago. The house was owned by a Christian commune who would lease the property out to organisers. Though they fell foul of some licensing act and were shut down. Before that I've heard that it held some even wilder parties duri...
