I came home to find the front door kicked in and the whole house gone through, drawers opened, mattresses looked under (!) and not one thing missing :)) Clearly they weren't into books or vinyl (it was a long time ago .....) :))

EDmummy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Only thing our > foxes have eaten lately is a pigeon (feathers on > our lawn but not carcase - thankfully). xxxxxxx But if they'd devoured other things completely, you wouldn't know - you only know something's eaten a pigeon because they left bits behind. Maybe a cat (or a rat??!) ate the pigeon?

Sorry admin, I promise to go back to the rat issue now. Rats. Mmmm.

EDmummy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > the last few Summers moths > have eaten pretty much all of our clothes (and > carpets). xxxxxx Presume you've seen the moth thread/s on the forum discussing solutions? Touch wood, I haven't seen a hole or a moth for months (now I will probably get invaded again!)

Fox, that's very funny but every cloud etc, at least you didn't have to pay someone to take it away :))

Why does > the idea of it frighten you? I find your post > quite offensive. xxxxxxx So do I, and I'm not Irish. Maybe it's supposed to be funny. But isn't. Mockney, that fair episode of Father Ted was brilliant :))

And maybe do a spellcheck at the same time? ETA: Before some pedant tells me that should be spell check - I prefer it as one word :))

Ah. Ta!

But do you have to count them? :X

There is a great one which hangs over > Scutari Rd (around Mundania) and it drips with > figs. Jell...! xxxxxxx I've got a fig planted in quite a small pot which has a few figs each year, but I hate figs - I just like the leaves! You probably have to give it time and sun, also I have read that they like their roots restricted, hence the pot (although that was taking things to extremes ....)

MissNoodlesHats Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >I'm part Irish but would > agree this is not a particularly 'Irish area' in > terms of immigrant profile. xxxxxx The Irish shop in Lordship Lane has been there for many years, and surely it must be doing OK or it would have closed down? And I'm assuming that probably it's mainly people of Irish origin who shop there?

Plough_Dulwich Wrote: > > Sue - thank you for your lovely comments about our > pub, we really do look forward to seeing you soon. xxxxxx I used to come to the Plough quite a bit, but I stopped going due to less than great experiences there. If you are succeeding in turning it around, then I genuinely wish you very good luck with it and I hope you do very well, but comments made on other threads concerning relatively recent poor service haven't yet inclined me to give the Plough another chance - sorry. Hopefully there will soon be lots of glowing reports as a result of your hard work which will change my mind.

Shouldn't this be in the lounge?

m? That's a bit cryptic :))

Monica, do hardy geraniums count as suitable for a physic garden? I have a few spare you can have if so.

Great grapes!!

You are so lucky having the space to grow all that, LadyDeliah! I'm extremely jealous!

Sadly I think it probably was. If you had lost your wallet, would you not phone a friend or relative for help to get home, or maybe ask at the ticket office if they could help? Or the police? I've done the same thing - gave someone money who claimed the same as your guy, then realised too late that it's highly unlikely someone in this position would approach a total stranger in the street. Did he ask for your address so that he could return the loan? Has he contacted you? Sorry. But let's be grateful we're the nice people we are and not the con merchants, eh?

I haven't been able to use the search function at all for some time, regardless of what I put into it - long words included. All I get is "your search is running, please be patient" for hours. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Can anyone reassure me that just because I haven't seen any froglets for a week doesn't mean they may not be hiding in my garden somewhere? Or has Dave the ancient cat who sits in my garden and seems to think I am a great friend of his finally managed to catch something? No froggies either in the tub or in the surrounding plants :-S

Thanks Minkey, I'll go and pick them now!!
