I too thoroughly enjoyed it Jah. Spent the next hour playing various Faces. Don't you think Keef has something of the Ronnie Lane about him?

Burn Down the Mission - Elton John

I've just watched it to see what I missed the first time round. My only concern (regarding waxed pudenda) was picked up on the show by a psychologist which I thought gave it balance. I still think it's very good, have no qualms about my daughter having seen it and in fact think it would be instructive for everyone who has/wants an active sex life to watch it.

My 14 year old daughter watched this - I caught the last 10 minutes or so and watched it with her when I got home that night. From what I saw, I thought it was brilliant. Teenagers are bombarded with unrealistic role models; to see what 'normal' penises and breasts looked like was very reassuring. Also, she was shocked by the statistics of unprotected sex. I didn't see that bit, but it seems to reinforce the importance of using condoms that I have tried to instil in her. [Obviously she will remain a maiden until her wedding night, (can't have too many chastity belts) but just in case!]

Weather bulletins that say it won't rain until lunchtime. I hung my washing out early this morning thinking I'd get a few hours drying in. Grr.

October is always Black History Month in all schools.

Oh dear, I feel got at now. I did sit with a totally strange baby on my lap from Brixton to Peckham. The point being that the mother seemed particularly inept and it didn't occur to her to fold up the pushchair when there was no baby in it to alleviate the congestion problem.

"Have you ever tried standing on a packed bus holding a baby and hanging onto a folded buggy?" Yes. It wasn't that long ago that unfolded prams weren't allowed on buses and was completely impossible on a Routemaster anyway. It's tricky, yes, but perfectly doable. I was on a bus last week and there were two mothers with pushchairs who had to give way to a wheelchair. Absolute chaos ensued. Wouldn't it be wise for one pram per bus to be the limit? My absolute bugbear on buses is children sitting while adults stand. If they are too young to stand, sit them on your lap - if we don't inculcate good manners at a young age, what hope is there? Right, I'll get me weasel and go to the Old Fogies Thread.

I miss one pound notes. Could we have thre'penny bits too?

Angel - Jimi Hendrix

I want it in my street now. Some moron has taken off my wing mirror.

Being in a very long queue at the till and having to wait while the people in front are surprised that they have to pay for their goods and at that point start looking for their purse/wallet.

Edited to temper my post. The writer didn't sway me.

Oh shame on you, DM. If you can confuse a fetching eyepatch with the garments that a 'lady' would wear on her nether regions, you must be drinking too much.

Memory of an elephant, me.

Blimey Sean, now who's spoiling for a fight? I don't think timid is an epithet that could be applied to me - CCTV really doesn't impinge on my life one way or another. I think PeckhamRose's question is valid - it would be interesting to see why a salubrious street has 'protection' - do we know where our councillors live?. I rather think the whole thing may be a wind-up or more in the vein of erecting speed cameras with no film in them.

Agreed, that's why I phrased it as I did.

Too little, too late Tony. You forced me to go to Daily Mail Online - that will take a lot to forgive you.

I just don't think CCTV in the street is a big deal. Two days ago my neighbour had extremely offensive graffiti sprayed on his van; two weeks ago he had three tyres of his car slashed. I think they were random acts, not connected, and since he is an extremely affable bloke assume it is bad luck and not a concerted attack on him. CCTV would have gone a long way to preventing this. I'm more concerned by things like wiping out hundreds of years of our constitution by felling the House of Lords with nary a peep from anyone.

I think you're all overreacting and comparing CCTV to the Holocaust is bordering on offensive. I'm with Steve on this, just ignore it and go about your business - if it's not criminal then you shouldn't be affected. Besides, it's more fun to break rules than get upset about it.

Which colour to wear with my Allegra Hicks? Jolly sore when one is hit by a speeding cork. http://retailconnectiononline.com/_borders/EyePatchColor.jpg

There is no clarity in your post. What are you on about?
