C'mon Declan - I'm enjoying your discomfort.

Weren't VW something to do with V2 production factory?

I saw him at Highbury - he's a brilliant actor. Went down clutching the back of his head claiming a coin had been thrown. After heroic recovery he got up massaging front of head. Paul Daniels must have been in the crowd: amazingly the referee could find no coin.

That's simply crass. Hands off DM, we love her.

I'll have you know there's nowt wrong with a Robin Reliant. My first 'car' was a Supervan Mark III and I bought it for the princely sum of ?15. Oh I wish I'd hung on to it now - for ?44,000 I could dine at the Chandelier twice.

Hope you find your kitten. You can train her to come to a whistle if you don't want to yell out Mogmog. Everytime you put her food down, give a shrill whistle. It won't take long for her to associate it with food and each time you whistle she will come flying in if she's within earshot. I discovered this the hard way when I had cats called Ringo and George. I was yelling for George one evening when my very elderly neighbour (also called George) was using his outdoor privy and yelled back. Exceedingly embarrassing! good luck

Surely not beyond your own detecting skills Miss M?

Actually - we've aleady reminisced - see the 'Dog Crap' thread.

Mark - I've posted a recommendation about a plumber whom I found through searching on here. I was a bit confused about where to put it coz there are so many plumbing threads and I couldn't remember where I'd found it. Plumped for one anyway but I hope I haven't confused issue by opening old thread. Feel free to move it if appropriate. thanks PGC

Also one up Nunhead Lane near the station. I've been a few times for weddings/baptisms and they seem most friendly.

Wouldn't Speakers Corner be more fun - all ED could come and heckle and then have a picnic.

Guys - I'm no prude but could you please give a content warning. Just played Derek & Clive while 13 year old in the room - and I'm not naive enough to think she hasn't heard all those words before - but really, we've just had our tea!

Beware of Geeks bearing gifts!

Just watched Simpsons. Quote from the blessed Homer: "Why do they keep having new bands. Everybody knows that 1974 was the year rock reached perfection!

Got some loaves and fish if you fancy?

Hi Bawdy-Nan I can offer our church as an alternative but you would have to walk a bit further. It's All Saints Church on Blenheim Grove by Peckham Rye Station. Our services start at 10.30 am, and everyone starts off in the church - we have a kids slot near the beginning (normally a silly song with manic actions) after which the children go the hall and are put in appropriate age groups where they have interactive learning with games, crafts and singing. Heaps of fun is had by all and all of our leaders and helpers are CRB checked. Also on a Tuesday during term-time there is an afterschool club at 3.45 for a 4pm start until 5.15 pm in the hall (behind the church) for 5-11 year olds where there is cooking, crafts and story-telling, games, etc - so the children learn about God in a fun way. Plenty of other activities happen during the year: we are having a holiday club this half term October 22 & 23 with a circus theme, 10.30 - 12.30 just turn up on the day to register your child or 'phone the office (7639 3052) to book a place. There will be a children's carol service on 9 December - we featured a donkey last year, not sure what wild and woolly animal is lined up for this year. All activities at the church are free and do not feel obliged to put anything in the collection plate (Poindexter pls note!) We are more than happy to have primary classes visit the church - we show them around and teach them all that's needed to cover the Southwark RE syllabus. Hope this helps. PGC Edited spelling

reminds me of my fave joke which I know should be on another thread but I can't be bothered: Why was Ian Paisley walking down the Falls Road carrying a bicycle? He was holding a raleigh!

Never mind - I'll buy you a red lemonade if we should ever meet.

Treinta quince - how does that translate?

Well, if we're going off-thread then I have to mention Aldeburgh, Suffolk - they still use lard: unbeatable chips.

What does it say when the architect of the Heygate threw herself off one of the buildings? The elephant has been promised regeneration for over 40 years - I will be pleasantly surprised if they finally pull it off.

muy divertido

Sorry folks - pure rumour and vile gossip. My daughter's just come in and told me in fact it was to do with a boy's stolen mobile phone and bike. He recognised the thief and called his dad who turned up and headbutted said thief (a child himself). This then escalated into a full scale fight, police called, liberal use of pepper spray and handcuffing. Apologies for misleading thread title. I'm off to see a man about a dog now ...

Just saw three police minibuses and two police cars gathered round corner of East Dulwich Road and Oakhurst Drive. Apparently someone had been bitten by a dog. Is this true? Seems a trifle overkill in terms of manpower - I was hoping for a riot at the least.

good luck
