So you are back Hipe with your abuse. You cant post enough of your rubbish can you. I bet you wont be here long. Thirteen posts in one hour. Nothing else to do?

There is also the Liraries sale of disgarded books. http://www.icaew.com/en/library/guide-to-services/collection/books/discarded-books

Amazon do not charge for delivery unless you want it quicker, there is also a choice of obtaining it from the non Amazon dealers on each of the pages, but although cheaper the postage might be more than getting it from Amazon direct. A problem with The Book People is you can only get ?25 worth of books free of postage, never mind the points that you accumulate they will vanish after a year. Amazon is my choice for any book of reference.

I wonder how many people have been present the same time as Prince William at any venue. I have been at many, he just is one of those there expecting no special attention. He has been from birth groomed to be King, had to serve in the forces, so has a good idea of what goes on. Having experiance of those Elected to high office of non qualified persons, ( Boris comes to mind ) who would be the better choice? The new child will again have its future set out for it from now on, very little choice of what it wants. Would you like to have your entire future programmed for your life. I hope that the new baby will have a long and healthy life and become loved by those who will be under its protection.

I have been wondering should a new house be built in Cyrena Road, what would its Post Code be.

Where did off side come from? The expressions " Near Side" and "Off Side," so commonly made use of by omnibus drivers and others, have no reference to the street pavements, as is generally supposed. The country waggoner, who walks by the side of his horse instead of riding on the shafts, invariably takes the left-hand side of the animal, so as to have the whip hand always ready. The "near side" of the horse is consequently close to his right hand, and the "off side" the farthest away from him. Opportunity may be taken here to state that the exclamation "Wo!" so well understood by horses, is a corruption of "Ho!" which was the signal for the cessation of the conflict at the tournaments of the Middle Ages.

Not a lot o people know that! Buckingham Palace is well known, it still has a postcode: SW1A 1AA. It is the only building to have this postcode, although the House of Commons has a similar one - SW1A 0AA.

The issue of this process is irrelavant, as in any emergency the post would be directed to Mount Pleasant. No mater where it was collected. SE22 is the area that has its mail processed by Silvester Road. SE15 is the area that has its mail processed by Highshore Road.

To end this dispute and proove who is correct, use your feet and read the SE22 on those Road Signs. Most people have taken the trouble to find out where they live. Perhaps those saying that a certain place is at a certain point take a picture of the Road Sign in situe and post it here.

Gingerbeer. It is not that small that several Edulwich members are there and have been for years. Even a shorty can grow into a Tallman. Is it time to join? http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/index.php

Reading the messages posted show that none have lived a very long time in East Dulwich that can remember the good old days of very little crime. Years ago it would only be a tap on the shoulder and a " Good evening all ", no putting the public in danger with persuing speeding Police vehicles, ( actually breaking the Law themselves ) and sometimes using the Police vehicle to ram the villians car. Who pays for that Police vehicle repair. You do. To police the public the Police must be far more devious to catch them. I sometimes wonder where they got that expertise. Bring back the Stocks to Goose Green.

I renewed with morethan again with morethan just increased by only ?16.00. http://beta.morethan.com/home-insurance-quote?rw.cm=Google,PPC&gclid=CJzascGk27MCFanItAodljUAyw

Go compare. The commercial - which launched the insurance comparison site's new 'Saving the Nation' campaign on Monday (July 2) - features the BBC's Wimbledon anchor Barker firing a large rocket launcher at opera singer Gio Compario (Wynne Evans) in an attempt to kill off the face of the brand.

Sorry I forgot. A man in Denmark has made headlines around the world after he moved a Shetland pony into his second-floor flat. Palle Brinch is thought to have brought the animal to live with him and his nine-year-old daughter in an attempt to recreate a Danish children's film Gummi Tarzan, which features a pony living in an apartment. Palle and his nine-year-old daughter showered the pony in their bathroom and kept it in the kitchen overnight. Concerned neighbours alerted the local authorities about a "rumbling ceiling and a manure-like stench". The pony has been relocated to a more suitable home in the countryside with Palle's relatives. Danish police say that no charges have been filed. "A house is not a natural environment for a horse to live in," commented a spokeswoman for the RSPCA. "Such a situation would cause many hazards for both horses and humans. It is quite extraordinary what some people will do." If I were an Elephant I might have remembered.

McGonagall, Performing at a Circus. Tel-el-Kebir?. Up to this point he had miraculously escaped the fierce fusilade that greeted his entrance; but his face, that had been liberally rouged in the dressing-room , now began to be streaked with white, and his tartan robes were bespattered with the yolks of eggs, and here and there pieces of shell clung to them. The first few lines of the ?poems? were listened to, but when the ?poet? raised his voice to a hoarse shout the gravity of his hearers gave way, and derisive cheers broke forth from all quarters, accompanied by another shower of flour, eggs and bread. Ignoring this byplay, the ?poet? held bravely on, but a red herring for a second or two broke the continuity of his recitation. Wiping his face ruefully, he proceeded to relate how :- ?Arabi?s army were about 70,000 in all, And virtually speaking, it was not very small.? This information invoked uproarious laughter, and brought forth another dozen or so eggs. One hit the ?poet? on the shoulder, and the result he for a moment gingerly surveyed with puckered brows. The climax having now been reached, the McGonagal unsheathed his sword, an furiously slashed the air for a short time. The recitation ultimately being concluded, the ?poet? waved his sword triumphantly, and strode with a majestic mein from the ring., accompanied by a parting volley of eggs. A storm of applause followed and after a rather lengthy ?wait? the ?poet? reappeared, and, bowing, rapidly retreated. The unusually quick movements of the ?poet? rather took the spectators aback, and he had almost reached the exit of the arena before he was caught in a shower of missiles. An encore was enthusiastically demanded, but the ?poet? declined to comply, and the other items on the programme were proceeded with.

?Poetic Gems? by William McGonagall, some times can make no sense at all. But then we are only asked for trivia, this is the best at short time I can deliver. It don't matter if it does not rhyme, just to show how you spent the time. Been to bed to sleep that night before off, woke up now with a dreadful cough.

Pre Decimal coinage. The Haberdashers Shop. That sold buttons, cotton?s, needles bow?s ribbons and all fancy bits to add to clothing, most also sold School Uniforms. There was such a shop in Crystal Palace Road facing the Castle Pub. I remember that mum sent me there to buy some cotton and other bits mum had written on a piece of paper, I watched as the assistant filled the paper bag, I had been given a two shilling coin to pay for the purchases she said that it cost ? eleven pence three farthings? she handed me a shilling coin and put a packet of pins in the bag. I said mum did not ask for pins, she said I have not got a Farthing you will have to take the pins in the place of the Farthing. Of coarse I ran home to tell mum I had been fiddled, mum said that it was alright as they often did that, anyway she was always dropping pins and could not see in the gas light to find them so they would soon come in handy. I still have a few Farthings I liked the impression of a Robin on the back. I found this about farthing change. The Draper's Farthing Change was originated by a small Linen draper in the Borough, who divined that an article ticketed "one and eleven pence three farthings" would be a more tempting bait for custom than another at two shillings, obviously because the farthing was knocked off. But his customers were not aware that he was by no means a loser by the transaction. At first he remitted the farthing per article or per yard only upon such goods as represented a large margin of profit, and the increased business was a clear gain to him. By-and-by, when the system became firmly established, he not only succeeded in having this supposed rebatement more than allowed for by the wholesale houses, but he had no compunction about actually marking up many a cheaper article to the popular "eleven three." Possibly the same thing is done now. The substitution of a packet of pins for the farthing change is the latter-day development of an exceedingly smart stroke of business. Now the coinage has even dispensed with the Half New Penny. The nearest discount now is 1p from a Pound, Cost 99p. I wonder what they could give in place of a Penny? You could always use their toilet instead of spending a penny.

katie1997 TMI shorty, really. So what's all this crap then?

I like Bread Pudding but not fish flavoured. From my memories book. People are kind. I was putting on a new door one day , the lady of the house was cooking . She gave me a cup of tea, and asked if I liked bread pudding, I said I did and she gave me a large piece of newly cooked pudding. I took a bite out of it, it tasted a bit fishy so I did not eat it, and when she was not looking I threw it out onto the grass area in front of the house. The dog chased after it and brought it back, and dropped it at my feet just as the lady returned, I had to say that I had dropped it in the dirt. I was to fit a new back door for her the next day, so I asked her if I could look at the old one to make sure that I brought the right type with me in the morning. As I passed through the kitchen, on the table were the remains of kippers and half eaten crusts from the bread. Perhaps this was the fishy taste to my bread pudding? The next day as I worked, at ten o?clock, there was a cup of tea, and Yes, a black piece of bread pudding with shiny glass currants! How could I get out of eating this? If I threw it the dog might bring it back, if I buried it, he might dig it up. When I left the house I wondered whether the birds would have eaten it, or would it become exposed in the Autumn as the leaves fell revealing that piece of bread pudding nailed to the tree in the garden!

My solution was how to recycle them myself, so I went to Amazon and bought a home Recycle paper machine it works great, only thing is I now have a Mountain of New Toilet Rolls. They are on sale on the other page. I can recommend them, just one or two problems they are Rainbow coloured, and carry a health warning. ( Beware of hidden staples ). I am sure I will make money! See att.

Rabbits are outdoor pets, if you have seen them in the wild you will have noticed the droppings ( currents ) their urine will not be seen, but should you keep them inside your enclosed home that smell will soon overcome your enthusiasm to live along side them, left uncleaned by just one day will make you want to get them a new home, are you prepared to try it?

The noise above. I have had a quiet life so far, no noisy neighbours to interrupt my thought, things have changed now, I've come a little bit anxious if not distraught. The flat above me has got a new tenant , who I did not see moving in, the noises that I hear through the floor the covering must be very thin. Its evening, someone has just gone in the flat above, to join whoever?s there, the sounds come through my ceiling as if there is insulation, I wonder where. I can hear a conversation, but I am not listening to this through choice, a woman is speaking to some one else, and answered by a mans voice. The woman says I have brought you something, shall we go and try it out? its quieter now, I cant understand why, it does not take long before a shout. Come into the bedroom, it took a while to get it right, I?m ready for you now, even through the ceiling I hear an intake of breath, as he exclaimed WOW. I have never been a musician, but got used to the army drum marching beat. the sound I hear is different, this one changes speed, it is not of marching feet. I cant hear the music playing, or even the muffled words that they are saying, the rhythm's even makes the ceiling lamplight shade accompany by swaying. I wonder should I go upstairs and tell them that all the sounds can be overheard. or would they think that I am being a little bit over the top, or just plain observed? Its quiet now should I go up now, they have had their tea or was it their supper? I will go now, but it will take some time for me to climb the stairs to the upper. Good evening, I said to the woman who opened the door, I?m Shorty from the flat below, I thought that I would welcome you to your new home and be neighbourly you know. George she called toward the closed door, it opened it to show the man who was there, disclosing ?George? Its Shorty from the flat below, show him your new Rocking Chair.

That lets me out i'm too bloody old!

If you had the Genie's Lamp what would you wish for? I wish that the cats will use the Cat flap.

My cats have always used a cat flap to train them prop open the flap, put cat in front of the flap so that it can see out leave it for a while, then if not gone through put some food outside so it can see and smell it, and try again once it has done it you can close the flap just propped open a bit, it will soon use it.
