Unable to come. (Homemade hummous in Bar Story is rather yummy should you be up for a starter!) Have fun everyone.

I would love to try the Castle cos I'm nosy and want to see what all the fuss is about - also, despite a deep streak of conformity I occasionally like to burst out and be controversial. However, I value my acquaintance with Annaj far above that and am happy to go with the flow. As Mike pointed out earlier, we could always have a sub-group to breach the Castle one day. While I understand your sentiments Sean, it's just not worth upsetting the applecart. (Oh how I love interjecting silly metaphors!)

Yes please, i'm too old for this walking lark. Where the place? Upon the heath? There to meet with Asset!

Just spoke to builders emerging from The Green. Definitely going to be Italian restaurant, ready in about 10 weeks. (There is another thread about this somewhere.)

My car battery has died so no lifts tonight - sorry. A warm-up walk should do us good (gasp).

I'm sorry - I won't know until tomorrow. Prob not, but there's a slim chance...

1) The Castle (fancy a bit of rough) 2) Montpellier (how is that remote - it's nearer than Peckham Rye station which I bet loads of you SE22ers use)

St Lawrence ground is lovely Brendan - shame about the tree.

Michael said: "I think an ED Home Guard is called for" Torn between responding with "Don't panic, don't panic!" or "We're all doomed!". Think I'll go for both.

The thing is, when it actually happens to you, every good intention goes out of the window. I've replayed how I should have done it so many times. Bit like thinking of a stinging retort several days later!

My friend wot's just had a baby was advised by some weird pregnancy guru to eat a tablespoon of ghee twice a day in the last month. It looked and tasted absolutely foul - not dissimilar to Swarfega. After a few days of rinsing the spoon in the sink it became blocked. I've only just got over my curry phobia and this is making me feel sick again.

Hurrah - you're back from honeymoon - I'll have someone to moan about the cricket with tomorrow. What do I get for 300 green shield stamps?

DM - is the rumour true that Michael's codpiece is fashioned from kevlar?

Interesting questions BigDad - hope you get some answers. Regarding shifting kids between the schools, surely they will just walk across the park? My school had the playing fields a mile up a busy, main road and we had to walk there (unless one of the teachers was in a good mood and gave us a lift). No big deal.

Just had the lovely lady whose mother has died on my own doorstep. I must hang my head in shame though, I think I've scared her off and she will be inventing another pitch. Her: "I need to ask you for help. My mother has died and my brother and sister and me" Me: "need to get to North London and it will cost ?38.70?" Her: "Yes. How did you know?" Looks very bemused. Me: "You've played this scam too often round here." Shuts door. Only later did I think that I should have called the police, thrown buckets of cold water, etc. It did not warrant a 999 call and though the neighbourhood thingammy number has been posted several times on here, I just didn't think quickly enough. Moral of this is copy the number down and leave it somewhere handy.

made the mistake of opening a bottle of wine and watching an episode of 'House'. Couldn't be bothered to go out into the cold after that. Hope you had a good time.

Naughty Michael, but very funny.
