  1. I heart LadyG but I'm going to marry Otta. Honeymoon at Ibrox, darling?
  2. Brady and Harman - my fave gals.
  3. East Street market generally good.
  4. 'classical 70s jazz' wot? Surely that was a slip of the finger and you meant 30s? Edit: rather a lot of grape juice consumed, think I may have desensitised attena.
  5. Word is: another estate agent next to Nero
  6. Ooo - I love this game! People who go to the shops in their pyjamas and their quoifs...
  7. There is a credit union at the top of Rye Lane. Avoid at all costs the new shop that is opening up in the old Nationwide building in Rye Lane called Oakham*. It says loans start at 400% interest. *ironic considering picking oakum was a punishment for prisoners and workhouses.
  8. From article in today's DM with usual hysterics, but relevant to the validity of the census: When community cohesion officers start calling for border controls, it is probably time for government ministers to acknowledge there is a big problem. In recent days, Boston has found itself in the national headlines for two reasons. First, the latest census figures showed its population has grown by more than 15 per cent to 65,000 in a decade, most of that increase being from Eastern Europe. That, of course, does not include the legion of migrant workers living five-to-a-room who prefer not to fill in the census forms. According to a leading (Left-leaning) academic, there are an additional 4,000-6,000 migrants in town. The council reckons the figure is more like an additional 10,000. Indeed, the census is so unreliable that the Home Office has just despatched a special population research team.
  9. Take your shoes and socks off, run with the goats and ask grandfather to prepare you toasted cheese over the open fire - you will see a nicer side to the Swiss. Beware of jealous goatherds and flying wheelchairs.
  10. A v sharp chisel should do it.
  11. I was terribly confused for a while. I thought it was some arcane football song that I didn't know (like Chelsea and celery) until I read the next thread.
  12. I heart Otta.
  13. Miffed that you don't have cassettes in the mix. Vinyl: Long Haired Lover from Liverpool (I know, I know) CD: Cat Stevens compilation Download: Never done it. The Move on You Tube - does that count?
  14. You could ask a few auction houses. Roseberry and Lot's Road are probably the nearest to ED.
  15. Here's the Bermondsey flag: http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/968/017/Millwall_display_image.jpg?1330376021
  16. Here's my "I've never seen Star Wars" moment: I've never seen a QT film. But I'm a bit of wuss with violence. However, I love "In Bruges" and have lost count of the times I've watched it. So which QT film should I start with?
  17. Shetlands aren't the best breed to start little ones riding on as they have relatively broad backs which gives less ability to control with the legs.
  18. Is it the stationers that Isla was a bit clumsy in?
  19. Put eggs in cold water, bring to boil, time from first bubbles for four minutes. Perfectly runny eggs. Now, is there a cheffy secret to peeling hard boiled eggs? Sometimes it's easy, sometimes frustrating.
  20. Is noone else concerned that h-m-b seems to have a dead body in his sitting room?
  21. Have to admit, although I adore Miranda, her Xmas offering was a bit insipid. I enjoyed "Restless" which is a William Boyd novel helped by the delicious Charlotte Rampling and sexy Rufus Sewell (when are they bringing back "Zen" with those impossibly thin and beautiful 'Italian' women?). Yesterday I died on the sofa with a box of tissues, lemsip max and a duvet and nodded off and on to a whole afternoon of NCIS which I love but can't begin to explain why.
  22. Happy Christmas. Now get to bed or Santa won't come.
  23. I have a mag light and a hangover sachet.
  24. Just blubbed my way through the last episode. I take back what I said about Mr Jacobi - he played a blinding hospital patient/semi-corpse.
  25. I like the soundtrack in "In Bruges" where Brendan staggers up the tower and is about to jump. Very poignant.
