  1. Reckon they were all playing boules.
  2. A "short, squarish third man" should have Harry Lime turning in his grave!
  3. That'll be the highlight of the test, then.
  4. Actually, I think the tie alone deserves that rant.
  5. Happy Birthday young whippersnapper.
  6. That's one customer for the blow fish then?
  7. D_C masquerading as Cyrano de Bergerac?
  8. All Over Now - The Rolling Stones
  9. Georgy Girl - The Seekers
  10. Killing me softly - Roberta Flack
  11. Unfortunately it manifests itself by being useless at cricket.
  12. Missed it. Happy Birthday for yesterday Keef. And Moos, HP to you too, the noo.
  13. At last, Sean's contribution reveals the meaning of that photo' from the forum drinks.
  14. Manze's is alive a wriggling just by the library. I think the one that closed was nearer to the Old Kent Road.
  15. When the water thingy by Nunhead Cemetery failed, we were without water for several days and had to use emergency street supplies. Thames Water wrote to us and informed us that we would be compensated and duly were. They were very good about it so no reason to think they won't be in this case.
  16. Just received late invitation to cricket/camping/hog roast. A turncoat I know. Have fun.
  17. Add some iron and salt to your diet. Two medic in the house? Pah!
  18. That was a throwaway line, Sean, no need to respond. What passes for my warped sense of humour.
  19. But, cock as in 'cock and bull' isn't rude. And cock has for a long time been used as in 'cockney sparra' which is no ruder than 'me old china'. And cock is generally used as the male equivalent of hen and also is not rude. It's quite rare in everyday language to use cock perjoratively as in penis. Whereas Le Coq Sportif is rude cos it's French and everything they do is wrong. [And my old English teacher would be turning in her grave.]
  20. Do you mean the same old Trostkis rephrasing the same old faeces?
  21. Material shop is in Blenheim Grove, nr Peckham Rye Station, just opposite All Saints Church. Slightly garish fabrics, but lovely lady runs it and has lots of bits n bobs. Good material from Deptford Market on Weds and Sats.
  22. My worst experience was in a smoked salmon factory in Scotland. We had to dip our hands in neat detergent, which brought me out in a terrible rash, then slice the frozen salmon (made it easier to slice finely). Horrid work and my colleagues were extremely dour. I was sacked after a week for being too cheerful. The plus side was the trimmings - dark meat is perceived by the punter as bad - in fact it made the best pate.
  23. I believe Brendan is organising a pass-the-parcel game for each hostelry - tin of baked bins as the prize.
