You forgot to add MP looking like a lovely senorita.

Oh, I wish I knew the machine did that. Last spring I went to a cash point at Victoria Station. Someone had left ?200 in the slot. I hung around to see if any dippy person came back, but noone did. I gave it to a BT policeman who took my details. Some months later I 'phoned to see if it had been claimed (secretly wishing it hadn't and that I could have it) but they had no record of the incident. Motto 1: don't be honest (I don't really mean that, I think) Motto 2: always take the epaulette number of any copper you have dealings with.

I meant it in the hypothetic way, good sir *walks off muttering about eggs and grannies*

Don't rain on my romantic parade, Mr M.

Just heard Theo Paphitis (a man of consummate taste) say on the radio, that he has a sneaking suspicion that Woolies will survive in some form or other. Huzzah!

the doom continues

Me miserum. This is my favourite store - where will I go now?

Just heard that the tour has been cancelled due to the terrorist attack in Bombay. I understand why, it would be intolerable for the Indian security forces to have to up protection at this time, but it makes me mad when we give in to terrorism.

I have no problem with the sport of evading a charging bull if one is stupid enough to try it. Don't agree with the longwinded execution bit, especially since there appears to be no reason (eg, vermin, leather, meat). A spot of googling Ernest Hemmingway might not go amiss. Our Spanish exchange student thought the practice was barbaric (aged 14) if that's any help.

Is The AFN a new hostelry we need to try out? Ales for Nunhead

Resounding hear, hear (and a korma or two).

Sorry - we must have crossed. BTW, it's great to have the home page showing unread things again.

I'm geeky enough to like seeing how many people have looked since I last looked at a thread. Or if it is a 'for sale' type thread that one has originated, it is helpful to see how much interest there is.

1474 private massages? Shame on you HB - I shall set Harriet Harman on you.

Belated Happy Birthdays to all.

I wanna piece of that Hugenot geezer.

Between the police station and The Magnolia

Burn it! Where are those sharpened sticks?

I finished No Highway by Neville Shute in the wee, small hours of this morning. Very nicely written and with splashes of humour, slightly frothy in places but not in a yukky way. [i have it in mind for Mamora Man at the next book swap]

Pah!

There, there, everyone's allowed a sp. error occasionally.
