Over boiled and not crispy enough. xxxxxx Yeh it's a shame, I should have said something really as that was the second time I've had an excellent roast in the mag spoiled by soggy potatoes, and the rest of my lunch was wonderful.

Stamp collecting, bridge, golf, taking photographs of buses and cataloguing them. Not. Probably if you were going to do any of those you would be doing them already though. Edited to say: An ex of mine spent hours doing three of those, and an ex work colleague from Basingstoke did the other. Buses. Had a whole room of his house devoted to the photos. I shared an office with him for over a year. He also smoked a pipe. In the days when smoking in offices was allowed. It was a very small office. Hey, you could take up pipe smoking as a hobby. Clan is a good pipe tobacco, mmmmmmmmm.

People crunching apples. People sniffing. People who say "to be honest" when they're clearly not.

Hope you made your flight Michael P!

Hey that's really good news Ratpack! :)-D

Much of their stuff is just rubbish, and their perfume smells of chemicals even if it isn't made of them. And this is the company which had their "soothing" range packaged in red, and their "stimulating" range packaged in blue. Shomething wrong there Shurely??? I bought three tubes of handcream from their internet sales thingy earlier this year, basically because it was half price and post free, so clearly the company is not exactly thriving, though didn't some massive cosmetics firm buy it out? Anyway, the handcream (which could probably have fitted into a smallish jiffy bag) arrived with each tube in a thick cardboard box, then those three cardboard boxes in another bigger cardboard box, and that bigger box was (if I remember rightly, it's upstairs and I can't be arsed to go and look) in a bag. I have (sad I know) saved all the packaging but haven't actually got round to taking a picture of it to send to their head office to COMPLAIN!!!! This is the company which trumpets about ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF!!!!!

nutty Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Where will I buy all my jossticks from now! :-S xxxxx If you are serious, and if you burn Nag Champa, by far the cheapest place I know is the Indian grocer in Drummond Street, behind Euston Station. Works out at not much more than 60p a box if you get a big box containing ?twelve? boxes. Karavan used to charge well over a quid for a box and wouldn't discount for quantity. I didn't think they still sold stuff like that though since they changed from ethnic to eco. You can go to the Ravi Shankar in Drummond Street at the same time and get the best kulfi in London. And go to the Cellar Upstairs folk club if it's a Saturday, hurrah! :) If you like folk music of course. Which I do. Obviously. :)-D

Was on Evening Standard billboards tonight - something like "house prices rise at last." Got a way to go though before my house hits the dizzy heights it reached at one point, shame I needed somewhere to live really or else I would have sold it then :)

Do you mean the tip? Which has recycling bins etc as well? I use the one off Rosendale Road, I don't think it's Southwark but they never ask for proof of what borough you live in!

I think we probably did that after the church sitting thing :) :)-D

OMG I made the mistake of reading this thread, I hate moths due obviously to some deep-seated childhood trauma, possibly connected with silk moths which I was once forced to rear in the cardboard lid of a Tidy Box, and now I have visions of very horrible things. The jar thing was particularly horrible. Thanks. :))

I love the Mag, and I love their food, but I do wish they'd learn to make proper crispy roast potatoes :)

One swallow doth not a Summer make. Or something. Been on the Stella? No not me :))

One of my work colleagues was phoned yesterday by her partner, who informed her that Brockwell Park was full of cows and that the police could not trace where they had come from. She was amazed/excited and proceeded to tell everybody within earshot about it until at some point she realised what the date was ..... As for me, I believed it too, I thought it was something to do with the Lambeth Country Show ..... Sorry admin I know it's off-topic but it's quite funny, well I thought so anyway :)

Is that the church on the corner of the South Circular, near the entrance to the woods? I thought it was still in use by an evangelical group. I sat at the back of one of their services (not sure if they call them that) with some friends after a walk in the woods one day. Much to their probable bemusement.

Why on earth is this thread still here when the original post has gone? It doesn't make any sense at all to anyone who didn't read the OP. And it makes no sense to me either as I read the OP (and posted a response) but didn't read the subsequent comments before they were removed.

Doesn't mean the sellers got the price they wanted, does it?

It's not 1 April yet :))

Sorry to hear of your experience. Have you thought of writing to HSBC's Head Office? If you address it to the Chairman (probably a man) by name they will be bound to investigate and reply. I think. Just closing your account may make you feel a bit better but won't change anything in the branch.

Blimey, about time that old shop was put to good use!
