I live on Adys Road and there has been increased activity recently. It's usually minxy little vixens screaming their wares. They live in the churchyard at St John's. I'm up for the Peckham Foxhunter Stakes if anyone cares to join me.

Shouldn't you be on honeymoon?

It's an anagram of Air Zone!

If you are pining for pie and mash go to Manze's on the corner of Peckham Park Road and Peckham High Street. Been in the biz for umpteen years. [personally I think it's disgusting, but horses for course]

I'm Spartacus

Driving a dog cart and being Miss Marple a la Rutherford

Never heard of - give me details pleaseeeeeeeee.

I love old literature and it saddens me that "gay" is not used in it's original sense - it's such an evocative word. And my daughter was born on a Sunday so I love quoting: "the child that is born on the Sabbath day, is bonny and blithe and good and gay" - that really doesn't go down too well with today's teens!

I remember being mortified when my child minder reported that my 2 year old had fallen over and muttered "Oh bugger".

Enters and points out to Keef that 'loking' should be verboten now that he is about to be spliced.

Picked up a set of Penguin classic crimes in a charity shop recently. They are all 1940s stuff and are ripping reads. Authors I've never heard of but am enjoying immensely: "The Franchise Affair" by Josephine Tey is a good mystery with romantic undertones and a wonderful denouement. "The Moving Toyshop" by Edmund Crispin I am quarter of the way through and am laughing out loud at. I've nicked Annaj's reaction to "Paula" by Isabel Allende which she got at the ED book swap to entice you waverers to the next one at the George Canning on Monday night: "Quite unlike anything I have ever read. A mother's letter to her daughter while she lies in a coma, which evolves into her autobiography. All true, completely stunning and unexpectedly political. If I can bring myself to let it go I'll bring to pass on."

I've watched that film so many times and still don't get it. I much prefer Pete Postlethwaite (great name) in Brassed Off which also makes me cry.

I wish hats for gentlemen and ladies would have a revival - something so Celia Johnson about it.

Does Ophelia know Hamlet's playing away?

Scor46 - I am limited and very conformist and a sucker for a french accent. PCG

I think Nicholas (?) is great. I frequently march in and ask for a robust red under a fiver and the charming French chap always obliges. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean supermarket. G&B were slightly more snooty at the same request so I tend to avoid it (this was before they branched into next door so maybe they've changed).

My rule of thumb is under ?5 and have a large dimple underneath. Flat-bottomed ones are invariably awful.

...had to really fight not to kick through the leaves at the edge of Goose Green that the road sweeper had put into neat little piles.

Many congrats on your forthcoming nuptials. May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children's children. May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward

Oddly enough I don't particularly find swearing the usual stuff offensive, and 'bollocks' is my all-time favourite and is usually apposite. What does make me cringe is blasphemy and it's used so commonly I don't think most people have any idea how repugnant it can be to some folk.

I had a nose today - they are advertising for full and part-time staff if anyone is interested. Apparently one drops a cv to the chap inside.

When James Cagney gets the chair in "Angels with Dirty Faces"

Oh I love that film too and always cry at the organ playing. Glue man is very creepy though.
