Add some iron and salt to your diet. Two medic in the house? Pah!

That was a throwaway line, Sean, no need to respond. What passes for my warped sense of humour.

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.]

Do you mean the same old Trostkis rephrasing the same old faeces?

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.

Worst / funniest job experiences you have ever had?
Peckhamgatecrasher replied to VeryBerryCherry's topic in The Lounge
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. -
I believe Brendan is organising a pass-the-parcel game for each hostelry - tin of baked bins as the prize.

2 reasons why mainstream "telly" will deteriorate further

Since MM has good taste in films, perhaps we should all go to his and abandon the TV altogether. -
Glad to see you drew a line under that one Brendan.

I believe all Labour's ills stem from the education system. Once they stopped teaching pupils to put capital letters at the start of sentences, it all went down hill.

You've met Sean's cousin?

Ms B, may I present Mr HonaloochieB? Ms B has an interest in millinery and anarchy. Mr HonaloochieB bemoans the loss of libertybodices.

Are you implying that Sean is deaf, dumb and blind?

He is a slightly strange chappy. Always banging on about when he had a shop in Berwick Street. But he's okay. Just.

Quite right in my opinion, there should have been an 'h' at the end of Talula.

I was prescribed metronidazole. My dentist and pharmacist told me not to drink (possible vomiting/fitting). My gp friend poo poohed it and we downed quite a lot of wine together and I had no ill effects. However, as Brendan said, you might be the one who does have a reaction. Best to test it at home with someone holding your hand just in case.

Savant just means "a learned man". The term used in regard to autism is "idiot savant" - not a particularly flattering description but does denote someone who has autism plus an outstanding talent, eg, music.

There's one at Borough market. Why not have a chat to them and see if they want to franchise' it. That would defray some of your costs.
