Ok, maybe we can noisily spill out onto the hallowed streets of DV about 3-4am and wake all the non-slummy Gentry up when we are finished!

I remember as a kid brussel sprouts tasted bitter and disgusting, but somehow they have become sweet enough for my kids to fight over them. How did this happen? Mine would be onion broccoli sugar snaps corn on the cob sweet potato

OO great, so we can annoy the posh people?

Where is the Crown & Greyhound? Map please!!

I've got to add my tuppence worth. I've had four kids and have a 1 year old granddaughter so am used to having kids around me, but I really think that slapping horrible little kids in pubs should be compulsory for parents who have brattish kids. I tend not to slap other people's kids, as their parents aren't usually very happy about this, but if some croc wearing little child does somthing very irritating or naughty and their parents are lamely smiling as though it's normal, I shout "OI, STOP IT!" in a very loud voice, and they tend to scurry back to their parents and stop annoying me. Seems to work for me!

I want LL Cool J, cos I want to die with a smile on my face!

Damn, what an angry frustrated lot you are! Not much p!sses me off, except people being mean to kids, animals and other vulnerable groups etc and theiving lying politicians and company directors. Oh yeh, and men who talk a good fu$% but can't deliver, of course!

The hat version of the hoodie?

Haha is he a French fox?

There is no way my dogs would be able to catch a fox, they might be able to scare them off but are definately not fast or agile enough to catch them, so I doubt I'd really have to deal with fox guts strewn all over my garden Keef.

Scary stuff

This is where I bow out gracefully!

Oh, ok.

Yeh, but eventually I'm hoping to get a farm and then I'd have to put up with posh tw@ts charging round on horses across my land after the foxes. Also I doubt the Blues would appreciate my colourful life experience, especially as some of their sort helped colour it!

MFH? Mother Fu*kin Horse?

Blinder thanks for link, very useful. I'd hate to commit a faux pas

Glad you cleared that up for me, thanks MikeP

Seeing as I am membership secretary for Southwark Green Party, I really ought to try to recruit a few supporters. If anyone doesn't fancy joining but would like to come to a few of our monthly meetings or go on our supporters e-list let me know and I'll sort it out. But if you do want to join, you can do it here.

I can't wait! I just joined streetcar (thanks hundredandone for the info) so will be able to drive out next week and collect some chuckies. Something has been bothering me though; if I did manage to teach my dogs to guard the chickens and had a dog flap, what would happen if they killed a fox? Would I have to report it to someone, or something? Or would I be fine to dump it in a bush or bin? Can't seem to find the answer to that one anywhere.

My son has one of those and he looks quite sane.

Coop was free courtesy of hundredandone, chickens are from ?5 - ?10 each for hybrid point of lay chickens which lay on average 320 eggs per year, of which I want 4 and feed is about ?10 a bag that lasts months. Maths is not my strong point, but it seems to be cheaper to me, plus they will be fresher, plus I will know what they are fed and as a bonus I will have taught my kids a bit about the value of caring for chickens and where food comes from. Charlie - nice ideas re engaging neighbours, thanks.

I thought this thread was just about being bored at home or something like that. Sounds really horrible. Are you in the UK or Singapore? Are you feeling any better yet? Hope so x x

Maximay - it's not about patting myself on the back, maybe that's your motivation for doing things but I don't go in for all that crap. I want organic eggs and don't want to pay ?1.50 for 6. I asked my neighbours if they minded ages ago and they are fine with it. I am worried about the way we have lost touch with how food is produced in the West and the people with control of our food production have let us down so often. As someone who has spent most of my life in the city dependant on others for the production of what I eat, I now feel the need to take back some of the power over what I put in my (and my children's) gob/s and keeping chickens is a small step towards that (as was growing my own food on my allotment and planting fruit and nut trees and bushes in my front and back gardens). I am not going to criticise people for tarmac-ing and decking their gardens, despite the fact it increases the likelihood of flooding, decreases bio-diversity and fuels the keep-up-with-me consumerist mentality that is destroying our planet, but I expect it to be difficult, for people who can't think outside of the box, not to criticise me for not being like them.

I know Galzer Delmar are very good in immigration and asylum law and I have heard they are very professional and good in other areas of law too, so you might want to try them. They are based at the top of Rye Lane. Here is their website http://www.glazerdelmar.com/

Charlie - a friend of mine is a Quaker and I really like their take on things especially the lack of rules and personal responsibility.
