So do you think this now has some purpose, given your earlier doubt? Am only asking in the spirit of wondering, not having a pop, tbf.

What are the chances that the killer will be going?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

I think you may be missing the point by a suffolk mile, tbh.

Bloomie, you ave a link for this please?

 

[Thora]

It was orginally posted on libcom - exact same text.

Possibly. The walk sounds like a good idea.

 

[Dhimmi]

Couldn't tell me whereabouts could you?
I googled and found http://libcom.org/forums but couldn't find it...

Thanks, I'm only a member of three forums and I have trouble finding my way around those.

I'm wondering if In Bloom is going to repeat the same comments as he did on this thread:

Is anyone going to this year's Reclaim the Night?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Blimey, i'd actually missed that whole thread, my comments were aimed at an even earlier thread. I'm orf for a bit of a read now.

I wonder what the prostitutes think of this?

I don't want to get into too much discussion on here (and considering TeeJay's earlier lecturing on the subject, I'd have thought he'd keep it shut and all), but I've never said that there was no value at all to Reclaim the Night. I've certainly said that it has its limitations, and I'm happy to discuss that on another thread.

And on a sidenote, as I repeatedly said on the relevant thread, I'm actually fairly sympathetic to the London Reclaim the Night, I just made the silly mistake of thinking that people reading that particular thread would be sensible adults interested in engaging in a political discussion

Check out the relevant thread on libcom (linked to above).

Looks like the police might have caught the killer - here's hoping!
