Just finished "The Farm" by Richard Benson. Fortunately I didn't notice the Richard & Judy sticker on it - it always makes me put a book back! It charts the life of his dad as a farmer in Yorkshire. Absolutely wonderful read, especially as I'd recently read "Lark Rise to Candleford". Both books highlight the changes in farming and community about a 100 years apart. "The Farm" is a very poignant look at how ignorance and greed and things like CAP have changed the way we farm in Britain. Highly recommended, Richard & Judy notwithstanding.

Oh well done, Dulwich Mum. Let's break open the beluga too.

Ring up the Southwark Noise team. They are quite effective. When I lived in Bermondsey I reported the unacceptable noise during the night from the Hansard printing press and they took measures to have them supress the noise. ed. for poor spelling

It's a bit hard to stop male dogs pissing where they want as it's hardwired into their nature to mark their territory. However, if you train them from puppyhood, you can get them to piss only on command.

I am really sorry but I cannot come tonight. No lift I'm afraid Emily. I hope you find some replacements cos I am v. conscious that we booked 3 courts for tonight. If you don't cover costs, let me know and I'll chip in as this is such a late pull out. I'm up for it next week as usual. Have a good night tonight.

Oh the superiority of age. My dad's collection has The Platters, Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry, etc. Not bad to grow up to! Alas there were a few Tommy Steele's the 50s equivalent to Abba?

Well done that Moos.

Great idea Brightside. Now why am I humming Art Garfunkel?

As it happens, the tanning factory in Walworth was slipped into a book, but for the life of me I can't remember which one.

The PO at Goose Green closed down against the wishes of the owner. Sorely missed.

Dig It - The Beatles (golly, I'm getting bored of The Beatles)

Mockney, I find setting up a plastic sheet and waiting for the condesation far more rewarding. I actually had my drinking water randomly tested by Thames Water a few months ago and asked the chap if he buys bottled water - he was completely scathing about it and resoundingly came down for tap water.

Bob, darling, embrace reality and go for plastic surgery. We women often lie about little things.

Dear Doodles, I am imperfect but ok with that. Will you marry me? Mockney - I now have an image of you leaning back with your mouth open while a flock of manky seagulls fly overhead!

Keef, I think you underestimate the strength of feeling for felines. They probably need their own area where they can be safe from Michael P.

Thanks chaps - just thought you ought to know you do a grand job. This forum keeps me amused for hours.

Now don't distract the nice councillor, his attention is needed on the Livesey Museum thread.

Try the garden centre near ED station. Alternatively, buy an air rifle and have some fun. I've sat twice recently for half an hour at the lake and had no luck spotting the kingfisher.

Since I was with my partner and heavily pregnant at the time, no. *tosses head in indignation* Besides, who would touch Jamie Moralee after youknowwho?
