Not going to happen again for many moons, is it, because the month can't go beyond 12. So not again till 3000?? Is that right?? We'll all be dead! (Well I will be). Otta, I'm not sure "tomorrow night" counts as a celebration, really :)

Just a weekend break to get a bit of sun, then, Foxy :) Glad he's back! Or - could it be - what if he - is a girl? Hey I've gone all Carousel :))

What are the plans to redevelop the site? Is somebody buying it, or is it the present owners who want to redevelop it? Into what?? I'm assuming Pretty's must lease the shop, then? Would it just be Pretty's which would be affected? Could they relocate elsewhere in ED? You say "irreversible". Is there actually a chance of saving Pretty's, or not? Are you able to link to a site giving further information? I agree it would be a sad loss if they were to close, but I'd like to know more. ETA: Maybe you could edit the subject line to "greengrocers" rather than "grocers"? I was very bemused till I opened the thread, as there hasn't been a grocers in the road (well, it was more of a deli) for nearly twenty years, I think - shortly after Sainsbury's opened in Dog Kennel Hill, anyway.

The tfl app definitely needs a smartphone. It locates the phone, then lists bus stops near it (or shows them on a map). When you click on the appropriate bus stop, it lists bus numbers and the time they are due at that stop. I haven't found it totally reliable. Yesterday a 484 arrived five to ten minutes before tfl had said, so luckily we were early at the bus stop. Is there something else which works by texts?

Hurrah! http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/12/06/family-guy-brian-set-to-return-very-soon

I was so gutted to miss this, especially Chris Shaw and The Rye Ranters Rip-roaring Barn Dance Band. I heard his melodeon drifting down North Cross Road as I walked to the station on my way to - ironically - a melodeon class :(

Cars can scarcely get through. Why do they need more than one bog? Have all the builders got dodgy bladders or something?

Also, all very well knowing, but in a potentially very stressful and life-threatening situation, you might forget .....

Anything to distract me from that > tick tick tick xxxxxx SJ, I fully sympathise, BUT If it went "tick tick tick" for a bit, then stopped for random but quite short intervals, then started again, wouldn't that drive you madder? I have that from the boiler (not ticking, firing up. Not mine, btw. Had it been mine, it would have been in landfill by now :)) ) ETA: Sometimes it's not random. Sometimes it's regular short intervals. I lie and wait for the next one ... and the next one ... and the next one .... much like planes, then ....

Kuki. If a hairdresser counts as a shop. Shingo has some great stuff via Spotify. Never thought I'd hear Davy/Davey Graham whilst having my hair cut. He has to let the other stylists have their music on sometimes though :))

Yeh. Don't you miss seeing Concorde going over though? I do :(

DulwichFox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- the bloody birds.. why don't they have a lie > in. > xxxxxxxx It's the bloody foxes that keep me awake. At least birds don't dig extremely large holes beneath the roots of shrubs :( I too am sick of the planes, drilling, banging (as in hammers), shouting, shrieking and noisy boilers which all pierce me to the very core, and am considering emigrating to Mars :))

Your only option apart from burning or choking to death. I know what I'd do .....

RIP.
