Peckhamgatecrasher

The dairy in Oglander Rd is now a motor mechanics. The chap showed me round the stalls - v. interesting. It was owned/managed by the woman who lived in No. 1 Adys Road who had a yard behind their house. No. 1 has now been replaced by a block of flats.

Perhaps it should be an abattoir in tandem with curries. From hoof to plate should be a USP.

Ooh, you Northerner, you! We in the south prefer midden path.

THink they lived in Peckham Hill Street - or their ma did.

At the risk of agreeing with Mick Mac on something, I love her too.

I changed my battery myself. Easy peasy. My MOT guys sold me one at cost price but you could do an internet search for the cheapest option and have it delivered to you door. Lugging a battery for 3/4 mile is not fun.

No, my spelling was wrong. Should have been: Theltic.

Celtic have big breaths?

All I could think about in the wee, small hours when I was drifting off to sleep, was how annoying the Australian commentators were. It's bad enough with the inflection at the end of every phrase/sentence but I guess that is the accent. What was really peeve-inducing was the constant use of nicknames and acronyms. How hard is it to say Allan Border rather than AB? And when there is a standard acronym with some longevity behind it, namely LBW, they say "leg before"; not "leg before wicket", but "leg before". Churlish, I know, but I'm in a bad mood. And yes, bloody well-played Faulkner.

Keef, you ol' romantic, you!

I saw a cyclist the other night who had an additional rear light on his neck/shoulder. Pretty damn effective - much easier to spot. Well done that man.

People who say 'can' when they mean 'may'.

I've had lunch with her brother in Peckham. He knows how to slum it. [He's godfather to my daughter's godmother's son

Absolutely no idea who Dr Persaud is, but it must make a nice change seeing clients on the crease rather than the couch.

Yay! Brendan's back.

Oi, you lot. I recall being ticked off for hijacking this thread and being too partisan. What's sauce for the goose ...

Obviously an England fan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/25650615 (that's probably in very poor taste but ...)

Be thankful we're not in Connemara - it's Mohune Central there. Flooding has caused graves to rip open and spill contents.

Don't forget that quite a few would have been paupers' graves which would have several bodies and/ or be reused again quite quickly.

Try getting a quote for fully comp. It usually works out cheaper than TPF&T.

You've missed Sainsburys selling hot cross buns in January.

Have you tried it with full insurance quote, not third party, fire and theft. For some bizarre reason it's usually cheaper to do the former. If you can add a named driver over 25 (a friend will do) it can bring the price down. Also, go for as high an excess as you can afford (eg, 500/1000).

What a shambles. The best I can find to say is that the stumps were very pretty.

Hello Bagpuss. You've made me feel all nostalgic for a game of badminton.
