It's ok Rosie, it's not too late to start carb loading... That's my excuse anyway.

More quiffy than spiky these days... The hair that is. The mood is definitely spiky.

No, not exactly Asset

I feel a bit sorry for Nunhead residents. Their nice new forum is rapidly filling up with grumbling EDF flounce-off-ers complaining about how rubbish we are.

So, snorky/blah, you asked for your account to be terminated, then re-registered and went onto a new neighbouring forum to boast about being banned. That's, like, so subversive man.

Well, Mockney, it means an inferior or artificial version, so what Blah should have said is "is LL ersatz Clapham" since the world version is unnecessary. But I'm with you in spotting the irony...

Don't know if they'll be showing the sports, but The Castle seems to still be serving. It takes more than a bit of scaffolding going up around them to put the regulars off their pints.

lenk, this is going to be contraversial I know, but Gowlett +1.

Sorry, Ann, you must have gone in just after we ordered four pizzas to takeway. Try again another night though it's so worth it. Fantastic. Everything everyone else has said and more.

Hurrah! Happy Birthday Lovely. x

Our freeholder, who insists on addressing me and Mr J as "Messrs" not "Mr & Mrs" when writing to us. I am not a man.

Sorry David, my mistake. I obviously misread your "sarcasm and irony" as sour grapes that the paper published this, but not your road sign story.

What *Bob* said.

You've got a collection haven't you *Bob*? Are they in albums or displayed in a special SLP room?

David, I don't think anyone called the papers. I think a local journalist just picked up the story from the forum and ran it. There seems to be a feeling that this is the forum trying to gain publicity, which I'm sure it wasn't. As buggie already said, a forum as popular as this doesn't really need to drum up interest through the SLP. And when someone has been threatened, even if what you say is true and it is a common occurance on an internet forum, it's a bit rude to suggest it's all attention seeking isn't it?

mlteenie, high cholesterol is a lot to do with genetics and actually not as much to do with diet. I have inherited high cholesterol from my 8 stone, vegetarian mother. Whether or not you need to do anything about it depends on lots of other factors. High cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, but there are other risk factors and what's important is your cumulative risk. So, you age, gender, smoking history, blood pressure, medical history and family history are all important. If you have other risks for heart disease, such as a family history of heart disease under the age of 60, or high blood pressure, or diabetes, you should try to lower your cholesterol. if you decide you do need to lower your cholesterol there are two ways to do it. You can lower your cholestreol through diet, both by reducing high cholesterol foods and by introducing foods that help such as soya and mono- and polyunsaturated fats. If that doesn't work you can start medications called statins that lower you cholesterol. It's also important to known you ratio of LDL (bad cholesterol) to HDL (good cholesterol) as if your total is high, but ratio ok, you don't need to worry too much. Do a bit of research the NHS website is quite good, and then make an appointment with your GP to talk it through, but don't stress about it. We all have risk factors for one health problem or another and it's good to be able to assess and modify your risk, but you shouldn't let it worry you.

PeckhamRose, I don't like the idea of anyone being excluded, but no-one asked him to take such desperate action, in fact everyone who was critical was quite clear that it wasn't specifically him they were getting at, but the general tone. If Mike wants to do a mega flounce-off and get himself terminated by Admin it's his choice.

Yes, thank you BBW, after 10 years in the profession I'm well aware that anti-social hours are part of the deal, but it's still a bit rough to start a new job on weekend nights.

Requesting termination? Now that's a flounce off.

No drinks for me this time. I've just got my rota for my new job starting on Wednesday, and they've putting me straight onto weekend nights. How mean is that?

It's here twenty don't worry. Don't panic, Admin just likes to keep the place tidy.

PS, D_C he was very good as the boy who lost his arm in Master and Commander. I believe he was nominated for best supporting actor.
