  1. Three score and ten and a little bit. You should make it there and back by candlelight.
  2. Home on the Range - Roy Rogers
  3. Strawbs, this is not a local council issue, but a Highway Codes (Nat Gov) one. You need to approach your MP. fyi: Highway Code No 195 Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see Rule 20). So though a driver should stop, he is not legally required to do so until you have put a foot on the crossing!
  4. Have a chat to your father, Hugenot.
  5. Nice? Nice? Please hand me two completed sides of A4 by the end of the day: "Why I should not use the word 'nice' incorrectly."
  6. With ginger ale I trust - none of yer sweet lemonade!
  7. Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cheners
  8. Do you wanna dance? - Saint Cliff
  9. Well if we're on to hitman movies, my fave is The Day of the Jackal, which is pretty true to the book too.
  10. Gives Electric Avenue a whole new meaning.
  11. Yes Macroban, but this is the first time he's come on here a la Barry the Station Manager. I think it's a good thing - no need to be rude to the chap.
  12. Those bloody kamikaze pilots always spoil everything.
  13. I'm with you pepsi. Welcome aboard James, and well done for opening yourself to the cynics of E Dulwich. I hope your constitution in all senses of the word can handle this!
  14. Diagonally opposite Primark (next to Morrisons' car park).
  15. No, Brendan, you are confusing it with Benny & the Jets - Watford's finest diva!
  16. Other recipe for glut of tomatoes: Tomato Wine* 8 lbs. ripe tomatoes 1 gallon water 1 tblsp. salt 3 1/2 lbs. sugar 1 oz. whole ginger 1 oz. yeast; 1 slice toast 1. Boil sugar and ginger which has been well bruised, with the water for 20 minutes. 2. Then turn it boiling on to the tomatoes and salt. When lukewarm add the yeast spread on both sides of the toast, float in the liquid and leave to ferment 21 days, squeezing tomatoes daily. 3. Then strain and stand 3 weeks before bottling. *This is a grand pick-me-up [so says 1920s doyenne, Peggy Hutchinson]. According to her, 3 lbs. of sugar costs 7d., 1 oz. of yeast costs 1d., whole ginger costs 3d. per oz!
  17. You seem to have acquired Tourette's Syndrome, Brendan. Go to a doctor, there's a good chap.
  18. Brilliant - I shall see if I can join.
  19. Thank you. I'm not sure I'm brave enough - I reckon I've about another two weeks to go before I need to make my mind up. Cheers indeed.
  20. Thanks. It is a red grape: Tafeltraube blau - Regent 4 years' old. It was brought back from Germany as a thank you for helping with a friend's wedding. Alas, the grape has outlasted the marriage!
  21. I have a pudding basin waiting for you.
  22. Pap-worthy seems a little unkind given those photos!
  23. LWL - did you have any success finding a co-op? I seem to have a good crop this year but don't know what to do with them.
