OMG I thought I was the only one. I sniggered (inwardly) whenever I saw that shop and when I noticed the name change last week it was cause for sadness. I wonder if someone did finally sit them down and tell them the facts of life - boy would I have wanted to be a fly on the wall.

Oh poo that's no good Andy. You can't miss Frank. I can get you some tickets at face if you want to figure out what night you want to go and get back to me. Have you EVER seen the Pixies or do you just keep being in the wrong place at the wrong time? That's a habit you've got to address?

I couldn't agree more Andy. Sadly, there are some forumites of dubious taste who may not agree. Are you going to Brixton?

Ah bless you Mr G. I confess I haven't heard Gail Ann Dorsey sing other than as a backing singer. I think she's one hot bass player though and I'd love to hear her sing. Off to YouTube for me then. Px

I found myself having brunch yesterday with someone to whom I had to EXPLAIN who Ian Hunter was. It was most tedious Hoochie. The food was excellent though.

Dearest Xena, when may I pop round? I'm busy most nights but I can bounce someone out of my diary no problem. Let me know. Px

I was in a nightclub in Blackpool when Elvis died. I wasn't old enough to get in but I had put on very high heels and had a face full of slap and I guess the guy on the door that night had bad eyesight so in I went. It was all Donna Summer heavy breathing - the dawn of disco. I met a friend who told me the King was dead. Surely not, I thought, the King will live forever. Have another rum and black.

Austins? Wasn't that the big place on the corner in Brixton near the academy? I bought a wardrobe in there once. Turned out it had woodworm and I had to have the bedroom sprayed. Not very romantic.

Damm - I was thinking of getting one.

However did you find the time? Bet you couldn't find the time NOW though. Congrats. Nice one. Px

Whenever we phone any service provider to discuss our account, they take us through their security process so they can be sure they are talking with the account holder. If they phone us then we need to do the same thing in reverse - ask enough questions about our account until we are sure we're talking to the real McCoy. My friend does this as a matter of course as she's had a lot of identity theft and takes nothing at face value. If she's still in doubt she asks them to put it in writing.

Civil liberties just aren't sexy. Sometimes when I've had a glass of red I'll start banging on about the erosion of civil liberties and the "thin end of the wedge" and I usually find that people's eyes glaze over. Maybe it's me that's not sexy! There are so many celebs involved in this story that maybe that?ll be enough to sex it up and it will get the public outrage it deserves. God forbid they hacked Peter & Jordan, I can see the headlines in OK Magazine now! Hack into a cabinet minister?s phone and you?ll get a paragraph on page five; but Gwynnie Paltrow ? that?s front page news surely? When exactly did I get this cynical?

Is anyone seeing Lenny on Saturday?

Exactly Sophie. One less thing to worry about (isn't that what Forrest Gump said?).

I don't want any unsolicated calls from anybody. I don't want to be bothered by texts and calls from anyone who is making money out of texting or calling me. Everyone who needs to have my number has been given it. I've opted out. Whatever they say I don't trust them.

Maybe you have heard about this but early next week all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling and the general abuse that less scrupulous telesales people subject us too. To remove your number go here. (you need your mobile phone with you to do this, they text you a code) http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html

I do have two spare tickets for Eddie on Wednesday if anyone wants to go - PM me.

There are chuggers out this morning on Lordship Lane. I detest chuggers. They never ever give a straight answer as to how much money they keep back in fees. If you keep pressing the question and demand to know how much the charity receives then they just get arsey with you. Plus it really bugs me how much they flirt to try and get you to sign up. Here's my advice, if you want to give money to the NSPCC then click on the below link, then double click on the red "donate" link. The charity will receive every single penny that you give to them and they can claim the tax back. If you have signed up with the chuggers today then I would urge you to cancel your standing order immediately and donate direct. http://www.nspcc.org.uk/WhatWeDo/MediaCentre/OurCampaigns/Ourcampaigns_wda36383.html
