I would prefer they were rich stones, who can afford to lose 99% of their money and still be very rich indeed. I would prefer that they weren't poor stones, who can ill afford to lose any more than the Tories have already squeezed out of them.

I can second the recommendation for Daniel. He is aan excellent chiropractor.

What can I say. > > You'd think this Delivery Office Manager might > have noticed a bit of a pattern. Was the letter from the Delivery Office manager, or from some central place? If the latter, they must have loads of different people dealing with complaints. However surely somebody should be logging them and yes, should notice a pattern.

Sadly the meal we had on that occasion was very disappointing. Hopefully an off night, but it hasn't made us inclined to order from Ganapati again. It wasn't helped by the fact that one of the main courses they sent was wrong. They sent the right one very quickly and let us keep the wrong one (it had been opened, anyway) but that was a bit annoying. As it turned out, the one we hadn't ordered was the best of the three. I've always liked Ganapati's food, so it pains me to write this :( I assume they have a different chef at their takeaway restaurant, which is in a different building and different road to their eat-in restaurant, so maybe that could explain it?

Gather in Bellenden Road does both refillable food and cleaning products. Organic Village has had refillable wine for ages, I think. I haven't actually tried it though. Is it any good?

That's very heartwarming!

I don't know, but you can phone them to find out on 020 8693 1833 :)

Well I think it must be, because there was a notice up saying that the pool was closed due to the water temperature.

There are relatively few shops, restaurants and cafes there, and surely if you are going there to shop or to eat/drink you are going to spend most of your time inside the shops/restaurants/cafes? Except on market days. Unless you are sitting on the seats outside The Palmerston (which are for customers only, of which I have not been one since it changed hands) or on the seat down by the photos. Which people do anyway, though the road is not closed off. Have I missed something? Quite probably :)

I can't remember who was the courier and whether they wanted a signature. I've just had a parcel from Hermes, who did require a signature. The other side of this issue is that some people claim they have not receive items when they have. I understand that this has been a particular problem with eBay. It has put me off selling anything on eBay, as I have read that eBay always sides with the buyer. I don't know if that is true.

Helen Hayes is a brilliant MP, and if she is on the case I doubt that will happen without a very good reason. Although, this is basically a council matter, isn't it?

One where various vehicles sit with their engines on at different times? There doesn't seem to be any way to report a single vehicle?

Apparently a boiler is not working. They are hoping to get it fixed by the end of the week but can't be sure. :( :( :(

And those parks are large enough that the outdoor gym equipment doesn't spoil the appearance of the park.
