Loughborough Junction chitter-chatter

Tom Rumble was at the previous workshops I think. If I remember correctly Gramsci previously commented that he was one of the better Lambeth officers to deal with.

I wonder if they decided that holding the final workshop in the midst of the roads controversy would have been unwise. If so, that was the right decision. It would have been taken over by the road nutter mob and it woud have been impossible to have any useful discussion about the masterplan.

"road nutter mob"

 

[teuchter]

"road nutter mob"

Yes.

I see you have been taking your conspiraloonery to other parts of the u75 forums, by the way.

 

[bimble]

Can we agree that there was quite a lot of nuttiness all round? For instance the various kinds of road blocks/ barricades, both official and cuddly-sheep related..

 

[critical1]

Yet you use it to prove your point! about Respiratory diseases???

I would have thought
The Office for National Statistics is reputable,
The lancet is reputable,
Research project data from the UK Biobank: a large-scale national health resource is reputable,​

But heyho they are only claims on the internet and obviously not up to your proffessional standard. Where did you get your info from Borris's office?

I note your continued use of the words evidence throughout your campaign, which are of course totally unsubstantiated claims to have the roads closed, also your lack of compensation packages to local businesses in lou of closure or financial ruin, also to add you have not stated where your subjective and scientific anecdotal evidence is based upon...

It appears your so called scientific evidence is based of fabricated assumptions and anecdotal evidence, that is what makes your statements carry much more spin than anyone else.

Again you are the master of Spin, you and Lib Peck would lead a merry dance, maybe you should email her and do a partnership.

Yes.

teutcher will you please stop stalking me.

You have already been discredited by your questioning and dismissive statements of reputable sources as you clearly value your own statements and actually say that it is scientific and factually based anecdotal evidence! as for your "road nutter evangelist mob" they lost so now your just spouting more road nutter evangelist pap.

If you consider John Pilger and the US government as "conspiraloonery" I know what kind of world you live in.

I really don't know what you are on about, or what the relevance of the seemingly random links you were posting was supposed to be, because you didn't explain what point you were trying to make or what you were responding to. I gave up trying to make sense of what your incomprehensible posts were supposed to be about. I think most other readers will have done the same.

Now that I see from the other thread that you get your news from nutball websites like this one I think my decision not to waste my time was the correct one.

But maybe the air pollution in LJ is actually down to chemtrails and not motor traffic? What do I know.

The pollutants spread by planes are a major issue. They make a significant contribution to global warming, yet they are excluded from international negotiations, such as the conference taking place in Paris. As a result, aviation’s expansion is unchecked by concerns about climate change.

You seem to be very knowledgeable about chemtails etc... What is that? (No don't answer)
Do you really want to revisit what you said and a full quote from yourself and your SPIN on nearly every comment as you state the comments were for you not for everyone as you clearly know, but your spin seemed directed to the general public. I will not bother to waste precious electrons anyone can read your previous posts and my response to such arbitrary and meaningless twiddle twaddle by yourself the self appointed expert, I would recommend anyone who engages with the "anecdotal evidence man" to clearly question where he gets his "evidence" as he clearly makes it up on the trot and then instigates mindless wattle (calculated attacks) to defere and detract from his previous statements. As his previous attempt proves.

Teuchter I had a look at the link you posted and have decided you need a hug.

No I don’t know him.

As for the Masterplan. Its hard to know what the Council are up to sometimes. bimble posted that from talking to Fluid the timescale had "slipped".

The Masterplan, according to what officers said, was supposed to work whether the road closures were permanent or not.

 

[Gramsci]

Can we agree that there was quite a lot of nuttiness all round? For instance the various kinds of road blocks/ barricades, both official and cuddly-sheep related..

I cannot.

There have been a lot of strongly held opinions on both sides. And a lot of robust argument ( bad tempered yes nutty no).

Went to see Camberwell Arts open studios. Here are some photos of the Whirled art studios. They are in the arches next to the cinema in Hardess street.

Wow!! That is beautiful.

I was picking my daughter up from school when that double rainbow was out yesterday. The kids were very excitable looking at it.

Power cut!

 

[CH1]

Power cut!

I got caught by that - in a bad way.

Sorry to delay. Not been at all well.

Knowing your analytical prowess let me run something by you.

This power cut - albeit only 20 minutes or so on Friday just after 1 pm has left my Toshiba DVD/VHS/HDD recorder bought from Argos in June 2012 an inoperable display of twinkling LEDs and cycling motor sounds.

I was Googling to see about complaining/claiming from UK Power Networks - but the general impression seems that customers are expected to employ their own anti-surge protection (which some computer users possibly do).

Apparently household insurers are also loath to take on these sorts of issues.

Naturally I will, when I am better, contact Toshiba to see if a they can repair - but I wondered if you had come across cases or resolving minor electrical surge damage amicably?

In my own case there is quantity of material on the machine such as very important operas I couldn't be bothered to watch at the time. Shame to lose those. And the £279 the machine cost me.

Still perhaps the way things are going I should be concentrating on getting through the eye of the needle rather than all these vanities!

 

[teuchter]

I'm afraid that this is outwith my areas of expertise. Nothing in my flat seems to have suffered injury as a resut of the power outage though.

But, an hour or two before the power cut I managed to trip the RCDs on my fuseboard by getting some bread stuck in the toaster. So it is possible that the power cut which apparently shut down a large swathe of South London was all my fault.

I think you should focus on getting better before starting any legal action against me, though.

In other words get well soon.

 

[bimble]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell CH1 and that the power cut has done such bad things to your opera collection, probably just when you need them most to aid recovery. The power cut has left my oven doing a festive display of blinking numbers but that's much more livable with. I think there's an electrical repair shop somewhere in the arcade in Brixton but not sure anymore.

 

[teuchter]

By the way one of the chaps in Nisa told me the other day they might be extending. At the back somewhere.

Ditto, my boiler timer clock seems to be buggered, heating still works luckily but since the power cut, the clock is losing a couple of hours per day, god knows why a power cut would cause it to do that, could be worse I guess

I think there is a surge when they reconnect - can damage some semiconductor equipment.

Even if you can't fix the machine you might be able to get the HDD out and transfer the data. Mind you, I've no idea if these machines have odd shaped/designed HDDs or if the file formats are hard to read by different devices.

Er..
Does anybody here know a friendly local emergency glazier ?
One of my sash windows just fell off, and smashed, and now I really need a window.

 

[teuchter]

Try the Tradesmen Recommendations thread in the Brixton forum. Yes it has a sexist title, I once suggested that it was changed to "tradespersons" but the mods refused because they'd rather have a sexist thread title than admit I'm right about something


Brixton tradesmen recommendations: plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, van drivers etc

 

[brixtonblade]

These guys did some new ones for me - were very reasonable and they look lovely. Don't know about emergency repair though - I think they have to make them from scratch.

Sash Window South London

Thank you.
Just called them & he's coming on Monday, he was really friendly & didn't even make that sucky teeth noise.
(It's boarded up for now so the emergency bit is over).

 

[goldengraham]

For glass repairs, there's Walshs glazers on Half Moon Lane, and Glazecare on Milkwood Road

If you need a sash wIndow frame totally remaking I'm afraid it's a very expensive job. F&E joiners on Croxted Road are very good (we had a window remade there). I'm told the place in Loughborough Junction opposite Tesco is good too.

If It needs totally replacing I'd also measure it up carefully and try getting quotes from firms outside London, they can be much better value

Went to our office Christmas party and spilled Martini and Galaxy Minstrels all over me.

I need to clean a dinner suit and dinner shirt.

Has anyone used this?

Once - when introductory 20% offer made it cheaper than local options for a duvet
Pretty good - collected from and returned to home, on time, no hassle at all

Hobby Dry Cleaners at Camberwell end of CHL or Love Walk cleaners on Denmark Hill are decent
