Hey, Alasdair Roberts at the Goose on Friday will be f-ing brilliant. Almost sold out though, hurrah :) :)-D

Baby Love - The Supremes Why do I always get this sense of deja vu every time I post on this thread? :))

Can you have corned beef fritters, like spam fritters? Yum :))

And those who have had experiences with the Maudsley are perhaps not likely to broadcast them all over the ED Forum, whether they were positive or negative. Just a thought :)

Write to the Chief Executive instead of whoever it was you wrote to.

NO NO NO from me too :) I agree it is getting slightly harder to park, but I can almost always find a place in my road, even if I have to walk a bit sometimes. I definitely don't want residents' parking with all that entails.

I like Hisar too :)

My ex used to take pleasure in inviting religious cold callers in for a chat and a cup of tea. After a few searching questions from him which they couldn't answer, they were only too keen to leave :))

Musicals - Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music - still know all the words .... Kenneth McKellar (my dad was Scottish) Harry Belafonte Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley - can't remember who did it, but it had a purple label :)) Sparky and his Magic Piano (on 78s :)) )

Where did you hear that joey2? And do you know when it will be? Sooner the better as far as I am concerned!

So does that mean it will definitely be coming a Co-op then? Hurrah! :)-D

It's a very very small one, isn't it?

But what was the actual meal like? If they'd run out of burgers, at least that implies they didn't have a freezer full of them :)

Co-op is brilliant. At least, there's a great one in Oxford. Ethical, good value, good choice, fair trade wines, etc.. Though I've never been quite sure what that Co-op pharmacy in LL is all about .... strange place.

I would be happy if it became a Co-op :) Can't see it being a Lidl, there is one in Peckham, anyway.

This is from AOL news - anyone know what is happening to the Lordship Lane branch? The Co-op has been given the green light for its takeover of rival Somerfield after reaching an agreement with competition authorities to sell off more than 130 stores. The move comes after the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said it would not refer the takeover to the Competition Commission. Stores in areas across the country are to be sold as part of the acquisition, which is now set to go ahead at the beginning of March. Co-op said it had found buyers for a total of 90 stores, including 24 outlets that were sold to upfront buyers including Lidl, Spar and Morrisons, as part of the OFT agreement. It said it had entered into purchase agreements with major retailers for the other stores and has so far sold 13 to Waitrose, seven to Tesco, six to Spar and six to Musgraves. As previously announced, a further 34 stores are to be sold to Morrisons. A spokesman for the group said: "There is considerable interest in the stores that the OFT has required us to sell." But he added that more stores could go in the merger. "Inevitably there would be some stores we needed to sell because the OFT required us to and others we would need to sell because they did not fit our model," he said. Co-op and the OFT had indicated 133 areas where competition concerns could arise, including Aberystwyth in Wales, Whitby in North Yorkshire and Bath Road in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The OFT said there would be no time limit on the sale of the remaining stores.

Sounds like a great idea to me, go for it, the Goose will be there :)-D Beer, music and the Sunday papers, yay!

Thought about that one, but decided it didn't quite convey the sense of extreme nausea I felt when thinking of a parsnip topping on a pizza :))
