For more information on planting up tree pits See here!

I have been here 20 years and I can assure you I don't want it run out of town :) I think it adds character to the area :)
  6. Agree with much of the above, very useful service but not frequent enough so that when it does eventually turn up it is often very crowded. I do think it is bound to be slow at some of the places it passes through due to them being usually rammed with traffic.
  7. That's a bit blooming cheeky!

  9. Greene King is one of the worst ales ever :-S

  11. The cheap rubbish tea towel sellers are out again .... if someone rings your bell shortly, that's probably who it will be.
  12. Damn, completely forgot about this till on bus on way to Lambeth Country Show on Sunday :-S Oh well, anyone up for another Sunday afternoon with the dancing parrot? Not forgetting the etc of course. Can't do Sunday coming however :-S Petersen, we will join in the sea shanties! Parrot on a Raft, anyone?
  13. I also noticed this last time I was at DHFC. Really heartwarming. There's two or three areas near the carwash which have been planted up with flowers. I had forgotten all about it. I meant to ask at the club to see if they knew who was doing it, so I could say thanks for cheering me up!
  14. I have the same as Dulwich Fox, but the bin men are constantly returning the wrong bins to houses in my street, even when the house number is written on the bin, so I should think that one of your neighbours probably has your bin.
  15. Agree with everything Minkey says. If you're transplanting anything already growing in the open ground to another site in the garden (I realise you were putting them into pots), it's best to do it so the plant doesn't realise it's been moved. If you get enough soil around the roots so that there are no roots protruding at all, the plant will "think" it's still in the same place. Watering before and after also helps. And to add, usually lavender is very easy to propagate from cuttings, also taken around this time or a bit later. Start them off in small pots and don't pot them on until they are fully rooted. You shouldn't need to use a rooting compound.
  16. There is a local guy called Colin who posts on this forum who specialises in pest control. I'm sure he could help. He has been recommended by several people on here.
  17. I'm not bloody Popeye :)) Anyway, I was lying :))

And sorry to say this, but if that change had been instrumental in his getting a 2.1 rather than a 2.2, presumably he wouldn't now be appealing?

  20. Have they given any thought at all to the fact that it will be shortened to Harpie? Definition from the Urban Dictionary: Savage, monstrous winged females. Flock together to attack unwary males on internet talkboards.
  21. Yes deffo, how about this Sunday?? Shall I bring my singing dog? :)-D
  22. Seems much faster now - thanks for the hard work this morning :)
  23. Blimey, what's with all the Latin on this thread? What a well-educated lot we are :)) Amo amas amat, mensa mensa mensam etc etc.
  24. Happened to me once on a 37 from Herne Hill when I was using a rucksack, someone unzipped the outer pocket and removed my purse and mobile. And I always thought I was so extremely careful :-$ And the bus company won't look at CCTV unless requested by the police - who would hardly be going to go to all that trouble for a relatively minor theft. I haven't used the rucksack since - I keep my purse in a zipped up inner pocket in a zipped up bag. Could still be taken, but with a lot more difficulty. ETA: Sorry to state the obvious, but I hope you've cancelled all your cards. Terrible pain but worse pain if somebody is using them.
  25. Susie, there's been another rat thread on here recently, I'm sure if you do a search for rats you will find it - can't remember what it was called now.
