Girl - The Beatles

When I was a student many moons ago I worked in the caff at a frozen food factory over the summer, and was instructed to defrost the chickens in a sink of hot water. Mind you we also used to fry the chips with ciggies hanging out of our mouths over the chip pan .... Great job, back shift, got to read lots of books and a taxi home paid for at the end of the shift :))

I got a packet today, I only ordered it last Wednesday so it was probably posted towards the end of last week.

Well here's a new take on things .... Just got back from work. I have a very small letterbox. Found on the mat an empty jiffy bag (posted First Class, definitely Royal Mail) and six separate ink cartridges strewn about. Evidently the postie couldn't get the parcel through the letter box in one go, so used his/her initiative. Not sure whether to be glad or annoyed ....

ooer crossed post, spooky :-S OK going back to flapjackdavy's: The Common People - Pulp

Play With Fire - Stones

Back in the USSR - The Beatles

We Gotta Get Out of This Place - The Animals

We were there on Saturday afternoon, and we were very impressed with the changes, it's a much nicer place to wander round now. Sadly I can't afford ?120 for a top, though :-$

Eh?

Well it was Jah Lush, innit. Who knows. Deep as something, er, very very deep.

As Tears Go By - Marianne Faithfull Sorry if I'm not allowed two consecutive posts, just had to get that one in :)

Is that the place that used to be a French (?) restaurant? Always looked empty? If it's become an African restaurant I'd be interested in trying it out!

Tears - Ken Dodd :))

For a few days there seems to be music coming from somewhere around Crystal Palace Road, around the North Cross Road area, it's not excessively loud (not from my house anyway) but it's beginning to be annoying as it's constantly in the background. Can anybody shed any light?

Word got out, and prospective M&S customers were raiding the bins instead of filling the tills

That's funny, it says "yesterday 05,05pm" at the top of your post ......

Yes it's disgraceful. But many supermarkets don't just bin it, they actually make it inedible so that people don't come and raid the bins for cheap food. According to an article I read once.

Oh Oh Antonio - Florrie Forde :)) Apologies Jeremy :-$

Is this the one Norma Waterson won a few years back? Say no more .... what on earth are their criteria?

Had to laugh re the advice on avoiding the backstreets, as don't most people live in them?! I've lived here on and off for twenty years, and in the off times I have lived in small places like Ditchling, Oundle and a farm near Leominster, and I can honestly say that I feel just as safe walking around at night here as I did there. You have to be careful anywhere - as people have said above, hide your purse and mobile, walk confidently, know where you are going and be aware of who is around you and be ready to deviate from your planned course if that feels safer. I never get round to it, but I do keep meaning to carry a spare purse with a fiver and a few old cards from closed accounts in, to hand over should push come to shove. Oh yeh and make a note of all the numbers on my mobile ...... The only time I have ever felt unsafe round here was a month or so ago in broad daylight, just as I had left my house, when a guy passed me and then kept turning to look back at me (not in a good way). I felt really spooked, and I actually turned round and went home, and waited twenty minutes and made sure he had gone before going out again. Basically, better safe than sorry is what I say, which doesn't mean staying in all the time, just being careful and going by your gut instinct.
