  1. I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist. Going by the Yanks in WWII, it'll be another three years before she arrives.
  2. My daughter is 17. She and her friends love Threads in Bellenden Rd. I've bought her a gift token from there before (hand written - nothing fancy). It seems secondhand/vintage is really cool.
  3. Crows are principally carrion eaters, but I have seen them take live ducklings in Peckham Rye. They have also attacked a dog I walked when he got too near the fledglings.
  4. What an exciting end. That's what makes 5 day test matches so brilliant.
  5. Last time a torch was run through the streets of Peckham, I was looking forward to a big sports name. Floella Benjamin did the honours. I'd rather have had Big Ted.
  6. We toured a few houses today. Great fun and some lovely work but it does feel a bit odd going into someone's private home.
  7. Oh tush, maxxi. You must be a Philistine if you don't see the beauty and breathless wonder a description of cranes. I suppose the answer is to fine (money or runs) if the over rate is slow, but that would be rather tacky.
  8. I'd hate to be nice to a West Ham fan, but I'll go with your mum and leave you to the lesser sport.
  9. Geeky fact of the day: Blower's pa went to Eton with Ian Fleming.
  10. I agree, it's Packer all over again. Have I mentioned I'm in love with Henry Blofeld? Love the juxtaposition between him and slow left arm.
  11. Strictly speaking, no - we are in a smokeless fuel zone. But are you really going to dob your neighbours in it? Alternatively it could be a house fire - 999?
  12. Hate to dash your dreams, but you can't build on a plague pit, and as Goose Green was formerly part of Peckham Rye, you can't build on common land.
  13. Do you not have a handbook? It will tell you in that.
  14. I have nothing against a Pimms made well (ie, with ginger ale). My fault for not checking that it was mixed with a ghastly lemonade.
  15. Hard backs are always useful in that situation.
  16. I queued ages for beer and they ran out just as I got to the bar. Had to have a disgustingly sweet Pimms.
  17. What a lovely start to the day.
  18. I've tried one. It tasted disgusting, even worse than Marlboro' Lights.
  19. "...finding the idea of having to make a shopping list and count every penny a challenge." Isn't that normal?
  20. Only because I remember it so well. I was working at the MOD at the time and usually mild-mannered civil servant boffins were spitting something rotten.
  21. Took GCHQ a while to get there.
  22. Shame on you, Quids. I think everyone should vote (unless you are currently in a hospital wing with your leg up in plaster). Even if you deliberately spoil your paper or vote with the flightiest of intentions, it's the least we can do in a democratic country.
  23. Sounds lovely. Good luck. I'll be your plongeur for a doggy bag.
