Sydenham Town Forum

Please open in Sydenham.

Would love decent sushi, but second the others comments; take away if is an either or business option.

We would have it once a week. Definitely.

Baroness Oneill is the epitome of the Patrician (attitude not class) view of the world: There are the rulers and the ruled. On no account must the ruled be allowed to touch anything. They might break it.

GM explains his position re Academic Publishing from 16mins in.

You might like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZWAcxnOfKQ As much as I dislike Monbiot's 'work', he is correct in this instance. Academic publishing is an enormous rip-off. I used to work for Reed Elsevier in the 90's. The corporate owner's idea of an acceptable profit margin for their sub-bu...

Leaf "Im not defending Mark duggan" I'm afraid that is exactly what you are doing; intentionally or not. Duggan was a violent scumbag, from a violent family, carrying a gun in public place. The rest is dangerous sophistry. 'Whataboutery' of the worst kind and an attempt to morally equate u...

Sue is Sue Beamish at LA Fitness. She is wonderful. Proper deep tissue. Very knowledgeable. Teaches massage. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Just been in today. Excellent choice. Bought some lovely belly pork.

Simply cannot believe the earlier posters negative comment about Trattoria Rafael. My wife and I love it. The pizza dough is spectacular, the calves liver is divine, and the tiramisu is blissful. The service is wonderful as well. The host is the perfect combination of friendly without being overfami...

I've always found this quite useful in any dealings I have had with government, business or media organisations. To comprehend Factor One, we must picture a civil servant, called A, who finds himself overworked. Whether this overwork is real or imaginary is immaterial. For this real or imagined over...

I know. But you live in hope...

Thanks for the responses.

Binda seems a nightmare. Thanks for the heads up.

What I'm really looking for I suppose is a recommendation for a conservatory company that isn't run by conmen or imbeciles.

Thanks Stone.

Everything, and as often as possible.

I'm looking to make extra space at the back of my house. It's a Georgian three-bedroom. I don't have money for a proper ‘built’ extension, so I'd love to know what the alternatives are. The Sunday supplements are full of ritzy and glitzy bespoke buildings and architecture. But these are way out of m...

The Eagle, Just for your information. I just cancelled my BT account and they gave me my MAC code (no cancellation fees), even though I am only one month into a new contract. The reason they had to do this is because the termination department phoned a senior wholesale technical support manager. He ...

Just had the BT service desk call with their daily 'it still isn't working, Sir' call. They said the fault is now 'very complicated' and 'affecting many users in your area' Duh! Anyway, am now using my Virgin cable Bband which was installed today and, GET THIS BT, actually works! Has anyone else's B...

Eagle,

Is yours fixed now?

Mine is still useless. Improved over weekend, and then back to default rubbish yesterday.

Oh, mad impulsive fool that I am! I've just come back in, read the improvements reported by the Eagle and went to browse the Internet. Lo and behold pages came up in a reasonable amount of time. I opened terminal and did traceroute on some of the usual test websites and was amazed to see completely ...

The Eagle, It seems like I just had the same phone call. The story now goes something like this (paraphrased): "... we are aware of your original fault (March 17) and engineers have been working hard, but unsuccessfully, to fix this. We now I admit (reluctantly) that this fault is shared by man...

Jeff, thanks.

The Eagle, your traceroute looks exactly like mine. It always fails on the 4th hop. Always. Then ususally the 7th, 10th, 14th through 17th.

Nothing changed on my line yesterday either. But the BT lady's 'progress' call was the usual mixture of deliberate obfuscation and half-truths.

Jeff,

Have you got the latest Chairman's address?
