I have been searching all my life for the perfect nude lipstick (y-es, lipstick, yes) ... Mr Tom Ford, I think I like you too (and keeping on topic) etc.

Any advice/tips on time management gratefully appreciated* How do other people manage to be on time all the time? Is there a 'secret' to punctuality? * y-es, buying a watch might be an idea

Hi James - don't know anyone who has this and tbh, I am not (yet) convinced that they will be successful in reducing energy bills/CO2. I am sceptical because I don't understand the methods used for evaluating any 'real' savings. (although I admire those who will give new/alternative technology a try) :) sorry this doesn't answer your question, hopefully others may know.

* SHOCK HORROR * Sunday Torygraph sells out in leafy south east london suburb ... btw, the only place to find one after a certain time on Sunday is the newsagents across from the Bishop, the problem page in the magazine is good anyway there are always stacks of Grauniads left however many shops you try ... all are good for papier mache :) 'Happy hols' russ PS. If HonaB's name isn't mentioned, I'd like my ?1.90 back. Ta.

Atticus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Mitte is a nice area, a very relaxed, nice crowd > populate the cool bars and restaurants. I second that. Berlin is one of my favourite European cities, I'm sure you'll have a fab time. The scooters sound fun although we hired bicycles, was very easy to get around that way too. If you have enough time, its worth taking a short trip on the S-bahn down to Potsdam, park Sans Soucci (sp?) has beautiful gardens and Potsdam itself has fab places to eat and drink. Have fun :)

Namaste MP - where's the next venue then ? Anywhere else local thats possibly as spectacular at airborne manouevres with Hot Rice? ;) Was ganapati mentioned or did I just make that up ... ?

Food and company f-a-b, thanks everyone (tu) the Rice Incident now almost forgotten, I seem to remember something about chillies tho ... ? No food poisoning to report here either ;-) and not even (slightly) jealous about LM's butterscotch ice-cream from G&B !

I have a not-so secret 'crush' on Simon Amstell. I love the fact that he is superior and rude on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. So I am gonna watch this programme on i-player. Sounds f-a-b. Cheers.

Keef - totally agree with you, no idea why people are bringing this 'issue' up here. Yeah, so whether its about how much money you have or what 'background' you have - so fucking what? Yeah, there are some Wetherspoons that aren't that bad, some people on here like to argue the toss about anything.

James84 - there is a massive thread about the new pub, The Actress (previously the Uplands), I think they are the same company as the Bishop, and there was also one about the new Victoria in Peckham. There was a lot of interest and comments on those threads too, similarly full of the poverty/class card issues on this one. On a more general note, I sometimes wonder whether a lot of people actually like living in ED and the surrounding areas judging by the biting comments on class that are posted on the local forum. I'm working class in that I have worked all my life. I love the good quality places, and variety, on offer here. A lot of these independent places really deserve our custom, the ones that don't won't last - running a business is non-stop hard work. Doesn't mean that because I like to eat or drink somewhere 'upmarket' occasionally that I look down on someone who prefers eg. Wetherspoons or a cheap chain.

Good question TonyQuinn - I think its a fake first time recommendation or something. I mean, has anyone actually heard of this HonaloochieB character before? Anyhow, people will insist on posting on this thread, won't they? Perhaps that's why its already 11 pages long* ;-) * and may it continue ...

I took it to read along the lines that the pub concept was being designed entirely somewhere else ie. nothing to do with the locality of East Dulwich, rather than a specific dig at Northampton.

and for some us, considerably more than once a month.

lovely day isn't it? * whistles *

Totally agree with this, especially the last bit. I too have worked with a lot of Germans whilst living overseas, everyone with impeccable English. (better than mine - LOL) Although I am in agreement with Mick Mac - French wines are the best (tu)

Jah Lush Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Well, there is one in the Village Mac. Not that > far to travel. Wetherspoons is still fecking shite > though and I most certainly won't be using it. Same here. But I don't object to one opening in place of the Vale, there will always be some people who welcome the arrival of a JD Wetherspoons and there will equally be those who don't. Horses for courses. Agree with others, there's no need to make it into a 'class' issue either.

Absolutely correct - I know plenty of people born into nothing who have pulled themselves up by nothing other than hard work (online pontificating doesn't constitute hard work in my book) and good luck to them. They own lots of land, a large house and a nice car - all thoroughly deserved. Oh yes, come on people, stop blaming everything around you and take some personal responsibility for your own actions. > It doesn't surprise me that underachievers would > hide behind this mantle. If you give them an idea > that someone else is to blame, they'll seize it > and sit on thier hands. > > Come on guys! Exactly - its always everyone else to blame, never them. Yawn. Stop bleating and get on with it. If enough people in Britain got off their backsides and worked for a living instead of being dependent on state hand-outs, houses and so on, it would be a better place. Oh, and I am referring to those that are well and able to work. Inverse snobbery, 'them' and 'us', blah, blah, blah. Yawn. We take education for granted in this country along with a lot of other things like access to clean water, food. JHC* - the drawing room has become a bit of a drag these days, it would be nice to hear views of more than one person. Yawn. Double Yawn. (*lol)

I would also like to recommend the gardening services mentioned on this thread, I have no connection with the business.
