Peckhamgatecrasher

Mr M, you sure look purdy in flounces. Of course you will be more than acceptable, it's just that Davidi (no idea where these extra vowels keep coming from) has performed the office before and knows how moronic I am.

A heron was fishing in the Peckham Rye pond for most of yesterday. Anyone know what it's stocked with? Looked like black blobs about an inch long (my pescatoral knowledge is astounding). Re black blobs, anyone noticed these flourishing on dead trunks in P Rye and Nunhead Cemetery? Looking remarkably like dog poo they are in fact King Alfred's Cakes - a fungus which when dried out and cut into slivers, has very good qualities for lighting camp fires as it creates a long glowing ember.

I can't go unless Mr Carnelli will be there to tactfully whisper everyone's names into my ear. I have a name/face barrier. (Probably just premature senility).

From the Karavan thread, by ontheedge: I would like to buy an eastern European country which ones are you selling as I intend to set up an independent anarchist state for those of a sensitive nature, there will be no banks I will just take everyone's money, it will be pram free and there will be no nick knack shops, there will be no variety of food or people so no complaints. Everyone will be between 25 -35 so let me know quick so utopia can be in sight and we can stop the moaning on here for those who don't fit into said categories Thank you

Hugenot, you have taken my insomnia to new heights. I woke in the middle of the night with "Grandad" going round my head. Cheers.

Off with his head.

Manor Place Depot off Walworth Road. Prob closed by now. Council will pick up up to 15 large items for free. Easiest to book online (when it's up again).

Brendan, everyone knows Rolls Royces never break down.

Can't imagine HM would be seen dead in a maroon car!

I'd like two of number 5. please. I'm setting up a mud bath in my garden pronto.

of course it's true

Zadok the Priest. (who says I have royalist pretensions?)

Ach Sean, you know The Road was rubbish!

I confess I'd never heard of the expression until this thread. You youngsters!

Steady on chaps. Some of us are more cynical than others. Steve could have posted in good faith, in which case, thank you for your good intentions.

Please let us know when the bat watch is on. We could have a forum posse and of course go for drinks afterwards.

No Mick Mac. All one needs is a roaring fire, a wolfhound at one's feet, a bowl of crisp cox's orange pippins, a bottle of burgundy and a Walter Scott. That's my fantasy anyhow.

There have been sparrow hawks in Peckham - could it have been that?

You're having a swing party? Are you growing pampas grass in your front garden?

Don't throw stones Brendan, I've seen your Burton keks.

The Beiderbecke Affair. Gentle comedy of yesteryear. Watched the first episode last night and forgotten how delicious it was.
