And Chav, never overtake the MFH - terrible crime.

I think they're called Australians, Polly.

Oh Chav. Your passion does you proud but really. In the interest of keeping chickens safe, join the Conservative Party - bring back fox hunting.

Don't know if this helps but I was in P. Express this afternoon (following strenuous iceskating so anything would taste fab). The pizza base chef (?) was making them in front of our table. Dough balls (about tennis ball size) were squashed flat with hands, minimally rolled with pin, exuberant amounts of flour applied and then stacked (about six). More squashing took place, then more flour applied and each disc was whirled round by finger tips until it stretched and went v. skinny. Quite impressive to watch. Looked enormous fun and I'm sure would add to authentic taste. Don't think you can really avoid yeast if you want reasonable base. (BTW - scone base is not that bad, esp if squashed thin!)

Go into nearest pub, ask to read label on obscure whisky bottle. Have 10 large ones - all will be revealed.

paradise by the dashboard light - meatloaf

You can make a basic scone dough (w/o sugar) and use that as a base, or good old stale french bread cut in half longways.

Brendan, you are more than an amoeba to me.

I've experienced the same with St Christopher's quite a few times. I always take my stuff to the shop by Goose Green roundabout. They always accept and with charm, and the chaps in there are always lovely. Whether they bin/moan afterwards, who knows? Re leaflets, always check out the charity number (google - there is a charity website) to make sure the company is kosher -quite a lot are scams. Also, keep an eye on who actually collects: I've had an incident with some dodgy guys taking another charity's bags.

I think Rolf Harris may have borrowed it. Someone seems to have nicked his.

Annaj, I think you are extremely pretty and more importantly a caring and passionate person who does a damn difficult job. You have my thanks and praise. I too think that the NHS at critical level provides a brilliant service (although there are aspects I am sure we can all have a pop at).

Oh, I go away for five minutes... Thank you BellendenBelle for your kind defence. However, if LegalBeagle thinks a cut and paste definition from a quick Google search displays excessive erudition and then I guess he's easily overawed and nothing you say will sway him. I suggest if he craves true pedantry then he visits Dulwich Baths which at least used to provide facilities for public washing and bathing, unlike Green & Blue which to my knowledge does not have bathrooms.

chain (chn) n. 1. a. A connected, flexible series of links, ... 4. A series of closely linked or connected things... 5. A number of establishments, such as stores, theaters, or hotels, under common ownership or management. Two links = chain!

DM - that will do nothing for your waistline! Changing facilities are a modern-day invention. Nothing wrong with a lap.

One = special (but not perfect... Sean, hate to disagree with you but I thought they had an establishment in Clapham too. Sounds like a mini chain to me. Mockney, ditto (re disagreemnt), but if manageress regretted her outburst on her blog, why drag it up again in a public notice? I've had one good experience in there and two pretty poor, but no particular axe to grind BTW.

Agreed. I think onions should be equivalent to the Bible on DID. Man cannot live by brussel sprouts alone.

Wassail on the fifth, remove tree on sixth - helps with readjusting head trying not to get bitten by the damn thing.

Something mellow for all those hangovers: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aFSU7dinG0M&feature=related

Suspect the Silver Buckle would be child-free - perhaps Alan a Dale could confirm?

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Mockney said: "Miwwaw's always a swearword Lizzy " Pistols at dawn, ol chap? (hangovers notwithstanding)

Now Brendan, what exactly do you mean by that?

Let that be a lesson to you, young man. *wags finger*

Chav - let us know how it goes. I may well follow suit.

Shame on you Asset.
