Oh come on, fess up, this is all a load of b******s, isn't it, a bit like the Eastern European brothel we were treated to a while back :)) Edited to say: The "HONESTLY" is a bit of a give away :)) Edited again to say: If it all turns out to be true I will slink away and hide in a hole for a few hours ......

I used to live on an organic farm, and the farmers used it. They also used a mainstream vet when necessary. It must have worked or they wouldn't have continued to use it. Bit like magnotherapy - people slag it off, generally because they haven't tried it, but it works on dogs, horses etc - was even used on an elephant at the zoo if I remember right. "All in the mind"? Yeh, sure, the dogs are going "Oooh, I've got a magnet on my collar - ooh, my arthriticy (spelling) legs are better - oooh, must be due to the magnet." :))

Nah, best on its own. The sloe gin, that is.

Yeh, not as good as it was before. A few good lines though. But Jamesie isn't credible really any more, got too old. Shame. Still a lot better than most of what's on tellie though, not that I'd know as I hardly ever watch it :))

Anyway enough of this, Rab C Nesbitt about to start on BBC2!

Takes one to know one, PGC :))

But that's just stupid, the whole point of homoeopathy is that it's minute doses. You can't possibly overdose, it doesn't work like mainstream medicine. Is that supposed to be the point?

Perhaps we should all turn up on their consulation day and give our views. I intend to. And not only because the Palmerston has a nice draught cider. Though not as nice as Franklins :))

Life's too short, lol. Just grit your teeth and wear the spex :)) Now, if you were short-sighted like me you could have super duper varifocal contact lenses, best invention since - oh, the last best invention. No need for reading glasses at all! Hurrah! Well, except in very dim light :-$ Edited to say: I believe if you have lasered eyes for short sight you will still need reading glasses as you get older, though I may be completely wrong.

thexwinglessxbird Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > This is tacky. > > xxxxxxxxxx Yes I think that's a large part of the problem. I went past the wall today, and was looking back along the street. Basically, this proposed "design" just doesn't fit in with the feel of the rest of North Cross Road. It's the sort of thing you'd have in a shopping centre (well I wouldn't, but it would be more appropriate there). Has anybody asked the shopkeepers in North Cross Road what they think about this?

SimonM Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > North-facing wall = climbing hydrangea > > But I suppose it would get nicked... xxxxxxx Nah, not suitable, not evergreen I think, though very lovely :)

Lucky I have a DVD of Pulp Fiction :))

Yeh, East Dulwich could be nurturing the next Jean-Michel Basquiat.

I don't think they voted for a palm tree, as I recall they had a few options including sculpture - thank God we didn't get that - and most people (including me) voted for a tree. Someone at the council then decided a palm tree would fit in with East Dulwich's Victorian past. I didn't like it until I found out why they'd planted it but once I understood the background I did :) However I don't think anyone could persuade me to like vinyl flowers .....

Sorry for three posts running. I've never graffitied anything in my life, but I'd be tempted to go over these vinyl "flowers" with a spraycan or two :)) Improve the environment? Wreck the environment for anyone with any kind of aesthetic sensibility, more like. Edited to say: Reminds me of when I lived near Bromyard (Herefordshire), and the local council put up some truly hideous "sculptures", one lot metal, one lot wood, none of which had any kind of artistic merit and which made me cringe and curse every time I passed them, particularly as presumably my council tax had contributed to their probably enormous cost. So, who is the Arts Adviser at Southwark Council? I think we should be told. If it's the person who advised on the brilliant wolf etc near Denmark Hill Station, can't they advise on this as well (because it's pretty certain they haven't :)) )

The dryness at the bottom and the height of the wall could be a problem though. Maybe we could have a mural of plants!

JBARBER Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Woah. > Every year the council spends money removing > graffiti from this wall. xxxxxxxx Really? I pass it virtually every day as I live just off North Cross Road. Don't mean to disbelieve you but I don't recall ever having seen any graffiti on it?
