It's good for cleaning Windows. I'm happy with my self made Google calendar.

Have you printed it out though?!
Watched the opening match in the Canterbury Arms with another Urbanite, had a lovely chat with Brian pre match. He is an old dog that has chased every bone but he still has a keen eye and a combative mind. I think it's fair to say he is a Brixton legend.
Excellent way to wind down after a busy day.

Just an after thought, but if any other Urbanites want to watch a match or two at the Canterbury PM me.
On the subject of bullying, raised elsewhere.
A degree of bullying occurs on this thread that is why I have always refered to it as a dirty old river.
For the first time I have had to put two people on ignore, which will distort my view of this and other threads. Moreover, I have had to limit other users access to my profile page because of the actions of others.
With regards to the Board I have no suggestions to offer about how these issues get dealt with given the nature of the bullying.
I don't mind disagreement or robust discussion, those things are healthy. I do object to being targeted by unhinged posters and their miserable minions.
I feel like I don't want to post on this thread any longer. I see it in other forums as well, more intense so I steer clear of them.

Examples would be good. I've not seen anyone bully you on here, Dexter Deadwood.

Seems a bit of a harsh reply. You were talking about a wallchart, so I asked if you'd printed the one you found.

Putting people on ignore helps me like this thread a lot more, as the ones I ignored are just snipers and never have any news, which is the reason why I come here. In my situation it doesn't distort the thread; just makes it a lot quicker to read.

Nowt wrong with putting people on ignore. I tend to ignore posters who get militant about what Brixton is/should be but have no real connection past or present with the area. It amazes me that some people are so bored / dull / frustrated that they adopt Brixton as a virtual home and see fit to lecture people who actually live here. I try to imagine what it would take to make me have strong opinions about the every day goings on in a small residential suburb of Cardiff, for instance, and lecture the people who live there and I think I would rather eat my own faecal matter. Others I ignore because they can't resist descending into basic insults, innuendo and aggressive speak - not necessarily at me - but it's bloody tedious all the same.

I thought the 'ignore' button just sent a spiteful little message to the relevant poster saying something like "Passivejoe is ignoring you. And he's doing it in front of your friends. Look... he's still doing it. What have you ever done to him, eh? Now he's purposefully avoiding eye contact."

No. The only one you get a notification for is following. You get a faintly disturbing 'name is following you' message and spend the next week looking nervously over your shoulder

Personally I am more than happy to lecture the people of suburban Cardiff on the way they should lead their lives.

The Makerspace thing in Herne Hill?
Good idea Crispy

These guys have fixed things for me before

But angle grinders are so cheap you would probably be better off buying one.
Makerspace is a good idea.If it's not a cheap DIY S.J.Carter at 10 Camberwell New Road do a good repair service probably not the cheapest but they know their job.
If it just doesn't work try and find someone with a multimeter to check it out.They should be able to tell if it's something simple like a broken cable or some such or if the motor is burnt out,in which case you may as well toss it and buy another.

This one is new! I've only used it twice…. I can't get the grinder plate off- I can't believe I'm just not strong enough….
