It was bad enough getting friend invites on Facebook :-$

There are two kinds of people in the world - those who like the gate closed and those who don't. It's a personality thing.

Twice a year? Luxury :)

My Girl - Otis Redding

Can anybody explain this to me? :-$ I keep getting people I barely recall asking me to connect with them on Plaxo. Eg just had an old work colleague. But the worrying thing is Plaxo seems to have the whole of my email address book online and asks me if I want to connect with these people via Plaxo (don't worry any Goose people, my Goose email database is on a Word document). Is there any point to Plaxo? Is it different to Facebook?

"Leveraging". Eh? And "Cover off". AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Goodbye - Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

People have been murdered because neighbours heard screaming and didn't bother to call the police, or go and find out what was happening. Not sure whether it's apathy or fear of embarrassment if it does turn out to be foxes or something. Either way it's unfortunate.

There's quite a few Gingkos around ED, some in Ulverscroft Road for example :)

Can we have two completely separate drinks, one for those who want to bring kids and one for those who don't? And the one for those who don't on a Friday? There was hardly anyone there last night (though great conversation) and people tend to have other things going on on a Saturday night.

Fairy Tale of New York - The Pogues

Hello from Sue and FlapJackDavey aka Nyge - great to meet you too Hal9000 :) Can I make a plea for a return to Friday - great idea to have a separate parents/kids meetup but can we keep it separate?? Smallest number of forumites I've ever seen at a drinks night but maybe you were all there in the afternoon??? :)-D

Back in the day Macey's would get anything in for you which they didn't have in stock - Lloyds won't. I needed a strap thing for tennis elbow which King's couldn't supply but said I could get from a pharmacist. Lloyds just told me they couldn't order it. But I still go there because it's convenient, I've found the staff OK, I don't like the Co-op and I don't like that pharmacy at the Goose Green end of LL - the only time I went in there they were just plain rude.

There is still one at the ED end of the main shopping street in Peckham (can't remember its name, Rye Lane?) on the right hand side coming from ED. At least, I think it's still there. I'm amazed how any of them stay open these days of the internet.

Bossman, despite its appalling name - for a great range of real ales, and yes, Stella at a fiver for six - the Greek deli also does it, but further for me to carry it home :)) Edited to change it's to its - OMG I'm slipping, how did that happen :))

Don't understand those who can't see the point of this thread - I thought I had food poisoning when it started, then I thought I might have something else wrong with my eyes. It was comforting to find that other people had the same symptoms and it was all part of the bug. If you don't want to read the thread - erm, then don't. Same as I don't read the threads on the forum which are of no interest to me :) I don't post on them making rude remarks about why the thread is there and the characteristics of the people posting :) The forum would be pretty clogged up if everyone did that, innit :))

Hey get well soon. I had to miss my first Goose gig ever on Friday night, but sod's law by Saturday I was fine. Seems to have hit everybody a bit differently, my daughter reckons she only had it for an hour :))
