Peckhamgatecrasher

One more sleep! Happy Christmas everyone - may God bless you and all your families this Christmas and for the coming new year.

Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me (oh sorry, wrong thread)

It is is ineffably sublime

Happy Christmas. (Deleted grumpy post!)

Lidl in Peckham currently have on sale angora long johns and vests, also skiing gloves, hats and socks (in different parts of the store). This would be a cheap option for you but they change stock quite quickly.

A chance to say one of my favourite things following a pratfall: "Arsenal over Tottenham!"

Parker (thanks m'lady)

Me too. Two bottles of wine for a fiver - my kind of joint.

Tis the season to be sledging.

Civil War. Bugger the roundheads. King over the water and all that.

Brendan - you should submit that to that online paper Mockney keeps posting. Can't remember the name. I think you were made for each other!

25 for 5! What's that all about? My one-legged granny could do better.

Have you been drinking that bottle of Aramis?

Professor Plum, Mrs Black - is there a theme here?

However, the CPT was far too myrrhky so she stumbled on towards Goose Green...

Maybe that part should be called Lubyanka Lane.

One further thing about the current fence - little dogs can go through it and big dogs easily clear it - doh!

The outdoor skating rinks are fun. I've been to Greenwich and the one in the Aldwych (M House??) - both are fun and very festive. I think there is also one at the Tower of London.

I don't bother separating tins and plastics since my recycle chap told me not to bother - they do all go in together.

Peckhamboy - if it's v. runny poo then it's probably foxes. I think it makes more sense to keep the fence (or a prettier version) but make the current dog free area for dogs and leave the path and the rest for everyone else. If dogs are on the path side, then they should be kept on a lead. This means that 1) stupid dogs don't run into the road because the gates have been left open and 2) people who are scared of dogs don't have loose ones running up to them and 3) hopefully poo won't then be a problem on the path (not infallible I realise). I would also suggest that all the gates have a self-closing mechanism since people seem too lazy to shut them (obviously with soundproofing so nearby residents aren't bothered) which will help with dogs/toddlers which I know in an ideal world would be kept under control, but accidents/distractions happen.

Not sure but: Paul had his Damascene experience where his eyes were literally opened. Paul was Timothy's mentor. What that makes Bob is beyond me, but I'm convinced he's someone's uncle!

Trouble with the Dog, it's a long stagger home!

I thought they were more Peters & Lee!

Less of the pops sonny boy

I hate to be at odds with you Sean and I guess I'm not in Dr Boo's target market (doesn't stop me liking lovely things though) but ?30 for a jar of bathsalts that would have cost one and six in Timothy Whites is a bit over the top for me.
