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.

Just finished watching "Cool Runnings" - I blub everytime they carry the sled over the line. Also most war films, esp "Went the Day Well" and "Carve Her Name with Pride"

Does Oscar Wilde live?

As long as it wasn't me.

Little Red Rooster - Stones - only when I'm inebriated and on my own.

Had a blood test also last year by lovely man who gently coaxed me because I am such a coward and used a baby needle and I never felt a thing.

Billy Whizz of the Beano never lived in East Dulwich.

Snorky could invest in a snorkel?

I can do a posh accent!

Still don't know who Eva May Davies is ...

Albino squirrels are common in Ruskin Park. No idea if they're posh.
