You will get slightly mad neighbours like Moos, but apart from that ...

Can't get over the number of people on the Rye and Goose Green sheltering under trees in a lightning storm. Don't do it people!

I favour drawing room. Shame you put in 'sensible' bit - I've had to bite my tongue.

It's fine.

OK, I'll bite: what/who is Bamako?

Is it more work for you to split wanted/offered? Where would the lost cats go?

I have a bolt of navy serge if that's of any use?

Hi. Barry Rd is not my neck of the woods, I just happened to be up there the other day. I didn't move the cat because when my cat was run over, I had to rely on a description on the forum and then wait for him not to turn up before I knew it was definitely him. Although not pleasant, I think most owners would want to know what has happened to their cats and actually see/dispose of the body themselves.

I think the fatal flaw, keef, is you are assuming everyone else is as mature and reasonable as you.

Who's your 'niece' TedMax? Take care, I was caught playing hooky by a boss once - moral: don't sit behind the wicket in a test match that will be on TV.

There is research (somewhere, cue Hugenot) which suggests that children under 12 cannot judge car speeds properly, which means children crossing roads and/or cycling on roads are at a disadvantage. When my daughter began cycling on roads (after the superb free course from Southwark), I researched helmet pros and cons. I came down on the side of no helmet for various reasons, including the fact that those who wear helmets and high vis jackets seem to think that they are invincible.

It's all Annaj's fault. She's been dabbling again with dodgy posts.

I seem to remember a sage person counselling others not to hijack threads (woo or otherwise). This one is about Alpha specifically. If you want a general slag off Christianity thread, start your own. [That'll be two Hail Marys]

Guess that kind of behaviour could lead to Belle Bottom Blues. [sorry]

Just realised I missed Sue's birthday on the 2nd. Big happy birthday wishes.

Well that's really not cricket! What ever happened to a sporting chance?

Happy Birthday Rosie.

R&A, it's simply because it's not ED specific. Nothing sinister, just usual practice. Alas there was a similar thread last night which led to some altercations about moving it.

Ha ha.

My new, bestest place for the cricket is the White Horse, Peckham.

Josh, I think it's because this section is pretty much ED specific. Peckham, Camberwell, et al, get relegated to the Lounge.

There's a whole lot of lovin' - Guys 'n' Dolls

Something to do with Mona Lisa? No idea what trombone is a euphemism for.

That's bloody tragic.
