Certainly in Nepal dal bhat is many people's staple diet, or at least was circa 1990, but I don't think it's true of India except maybe one or two regions?

Look at the abysmal train service we now have in this country.

We went to an Indian restaurant in Tooting Broadway recently. There's loads of them there and we chose one at complete random. The food was cheap and we both thought it was head and shoulders above anything we'd ever had in East Dulwich. ETA: The service was a bit unfriendly, but we think that was because we had lassis instead of beer. We'd just been to a festival on Tooting Common and had had enough beer for the day :) ETA: And no, we weren't drunk, so that wasn't the reason for the unfriendly service :))

Why on earth not use gmail? It will import your old emails if you want, and redirect any coming in to the old address, for a few weeks. I've never had any problems with it at all.

Their shops are incredibly depressing, and in any case there is already one in Forest Hill (as you say) and I think there is still one in Peckham, though I can't understand how it's still hanging on.

If you've got a cavity, does that not mean there is decay, and that you'd at least have to have any decay drilled out before you could have the cavity filled (or try to not have it filled)? Or else the decay would spread? Not that I know anything about it, I have a mouth full of fillings from the olden times :(

All I care about is that they make bloody sure I'm dead before doing anything at all to my body ..... Especially as I'm donating all the useful parts ....

Nor me. I can only think the people who eat there more than once have never had proper Thai food.

Duh!

Thanks panic over I carried him out in a towel and he seems to be fine.

Police and RSPCA won't help. Fox rescue going to voicemail. Two frightened kids in house (my neighbour's). Food hasn't worked. Can anybody help? ,Don't want to frighten it any further. The

Mine go to either guide dogs for the deaf or the RNLI ....

A new notice in the window says it is reopening tomorrow (Saturday 6 August).

Perhaps we could all club together and hire a breakdown lorry to tow it/them away and leave it/them somewhere else :) Presumably the current owners can be traced by the registration number, but not sure whether anybody other than the police are able to do that.

I think he has been very restrained considering the aggro he has had on this thread. I don't think it is him who has been confrontational.

Try phoning them? Note on windscreen??

A healthy looking, young (ish) fox strolled past me as I was working on my allotment this afternoon :)

I once worked in a plant centre, and there was a problem with rabbits munching the plants at night. So a rabbit catcher was called in. He left with a number of rabbits in a bag. He told me he was taking them away to let them loose elsewhere. I was so naive, I believed him :( It occurred to me afterwards that live rabbits would not have been able to breathe in a zipped up bag :(

If you use humane traps, don't forget to check them. My brother once found a mummified mouse in one. I once caught a mouse in one, but when I went to let it out (some distance from the house, in a field - this wasn't in London) the poor little thing was so terrified it wouldn't come out of the trap. I do wonder how humane they actually are. A quick snap of the back might have been kinder than putting it through all that trauma :( Of course then you've got to remove the mangled body......

Hydrangeas. Not all hydrangeas. Those big boring bright pink ones. They sit around all year with boring leaves, then they have horrible boring pink flowers. They take up space that nicer plants could be in. Oh, AND I just noticed today that my hair is going very grey grrrrrrr :(
