I know, and it's not a pretty picture either, a bit of a "Hockney joiner" affair if you ask me....

Phew Glad I am not the only one who doesn't get this... Also can anyone explain why my best mate always wears a t-shirt whenever we go out together with the slogan "I'm with Stupid" on it ... I really don't get it at all...

I wonder if Jason Statham, or any other of our Celebs in ED actually post on here... I think Jason may well go under the name of Jeremy hence the last post saying how rare an acting talent he is... then again I may well be wrong.... but still curious about if the famous post in this discussion saying they have spotted themselves... ;-)

I love this thread All this really useful information, and with a bit more digging I can also find out where you all live, your mothers maiden name, your first pet and then go off on a spending spree with your cloned credit cards or stolen identity.... Can I say (as Mr Prudent), be careful about how much information you reveal about yourselves online, it doesn't take much to collate things together in order to steal your identity and as one of the questions on most credit card applications is "The name of your first school" then you are already starting to give out a lot of useful information... That said, anyone want a blank credit card and cloneing kit - Going cheap as I nicked it from djFitz before he was banged up in the State Penn for crimes that I would rather not mention here.... B)

Is that what you tell everyone these days, that you drank in the posher bars in Glasgow, come now we both know (apart from the 39 steps under the station, the Horseshoe bar and the two drum and monkies) that there wasn't any posh bars in Glasgow, they just kept the stabbings in a seperate bar area (They had the the Snug, the Lounge and the Killing field or rear garden if I remember correctly) Sadly, I don't think they sell "Heavy" this far down south, and the nearest place I know off is Newcastle but I thank you for calling me a gent, not been called that since last time I gave a tramp 5p (I think however he was being sarcastic at the time) so I doff my Cap at you for the compliment and raise my little finger to you in salute as I sip my tea.

HonaloochieB Either that or you used to drink in the same run down bars in Glasgow I did .... In which case you still owe me a pint of Heavy. Also isn't Jimmy Crankie actually a little boy who plays a grown woman playing a little boy.... something like that...

All this reminds me of a wee 5ft scottish barmaid in Glasgow (the Cotton Club) who was serving a customer and when some big fella came up and yelled "When you're ready love" she stopped serving the customer, went over to the big fella, grabbed his lapels and pulled him down to her level, looked him in the eye and gently (well as Gentle as a Glaswegian woman can) said "When I am Good and f*ckign ready to serve you, I will come over, look you in the eye and say I am good and f*ckign ready to serve you now, but until then just f*ck off out of my face" and then threw him backwards onto the floor... I have to say, from that point on I have never, ever complained about slow barstaff ever again... (I also told her rather meekly that I would wait until she told me I could get served that night) Now that is the sort of barmaids we need here, ones that don't take prisoners when it comes to larey customers... and it may well make the average night out somewhat more entertaining ...

How about best regular night out, as in a theme night in a local bar / pub / eatery For example, if somewhere does an excellent (weekly / monthly) quiz night (not that you would see me there) then that is an entry for best night out, equally if somewhere else may do a regular wine education night / curry night / Comedy / open mike / whatever night rather then just a straight forward 'best bar' type entry or maybe it could be a sub-category in the best bar class...

I like the Rye, or if you want to go out of area for the night, try their sister pub the Bridge in penge... only a 197 bus ride away ...

Sadly, the school of Hard Knocks .... I wasn't allowed in the School of Life, or Poker School as I was a disruptive pupil...

That brings me to question is 3G Triple the Pleasure ? And do we all need to go to "G-Plan" to find it or finally if you do find it does that put your partner and you in G-eosynchronous Orbit ? GEE these could go on, and maybe Panorama needs to do a documentry on it

I had to do a lot of research as I always got it, and now witht he work arounds, I don't .... it is true that sometimes there is a server issue, but for a lot of people, the above workaround solves the problem. I think it also depends on how games firendly your router and firewall is !!

EDOldie Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > How does one slaughter a giant snail for cooking? Funny you should ask that, I asked Bola Amole, the owner of BIMS a few months ago and got the following Step 1 - Squeeze Lemon or Lime Juice into the open part of the shell to draw out any impurities Step 2 - Place the snail in cold water and bring to the boil (slowly and humainly sends it to sleep) OR drop it in boiling water (not so nice for the snail) Step 3 - Crack the Shell and extract the meat Step 4 - Chop the meat and cook in various dishes (i.e. Stew) In answer to the questions 1. It is not bush meat - regardless of where it comes from, The Shops down Peckham have special import licences if they bring them into the country 2. They are legal, if not to everyone's taste 3. Funny you mention Job adverts, as BIMS had one up earlier this month as it is a kind of specalised job to keep them alive (they hate the cold) 4. Yes - they are good Scram - and if you haven't tried one before, then venture into Lolak's on Choumert Road and try them in stew (if your mind can get past what you are eating) 5. They aren't easy to grow here as they like heat rather then cold... but they are grown in the country too and many are kept as indoor pets 6. No one in Peckham stocks Puppy Dog's tails - you can however get them from Mr Rose in ED (So I have heard) Now as to the point of Garlic Butter - man would you stink after eating a whole one ... Imagine the amount of butter and garlic needed !!! (and as for the Snail Fork and Tongs... they would need to be made at an iron works ...)

Nothing, except for maybe changing the perception of the sterotype image of Polish builders do shoddy (but cheap) work and that british builders does excellent (but expensive) work It made good mindless television viewing, and is better then Strictly Come X-Factoring !!

The Joys of 86420 Some people get no problems at all and others can open a room but no one can connect or they can't connect to an open room... if you get 86420 then read on... According to some sources, it is in fact down to your wireless router and the following recommendations are to be found - Follow in order if you can and test at each stage 1. Do an update of the firmware on your router (remember to back it up first) 2. Change the channel of your wireless router to 1 or 11 (it seems that the Wii prefers these for some reason with 1 being optimal) 3. Put your Wii on a Static address at least 11 higher then your router (i.e. 192.168.1.12) (this needs to occur both on the Wii and the Router) 4. forward all available UDP ports, usually 1 to 65534, to the IP address that you have assigned your Nintendo Wii. You do this in the port forwarding section of your router. 5. Provide the Wii with some compatitable DNS servers. Go to https://www.opendns.com/start?device=nintendo-wii and follow the instructions on there. 6. If above fails to help then open up a DMZ for the wii on the router (allows it to by-pass the router firewall) or just disable the firewall on the router Hopefully if you follow these instructions in order then it should solve the problem for you (no promises like) Finally I have to say sorry for not appearing for the races last night, a Jacket Potato with Ragu sauce on it was calling my name stronger then the Wii did :-S

I went looking for my U-Switch last night, wasn't in the meter cupboard or anywhere to be seen, can anyone help me understand what this switch does... the only switch I did find was on the front of the consumer unit, which saves me a packet everytime I turn it off ... >:D< Maybe this here U-switch is a bit like the fabled G-Spot ? (couldn't find that in the meter cupboard either...)

KalamityKel I have to respond and say you think you are worried, I sometimes wake up and think what on earth was that all about last night - especially if I watch something as 'weird' as Coronation Street, which I dipped into last night to discover secret affairs, murder, Child kidnapping, Threatening Letters, Alcoholism (well they all drink too much) and worst of all bad acting (That Dev Bloke) - stroll on Virgin 1 at 11 with Sexcetra is all I can say - a decent educational program for god knows who !! Hmmm - maybe I do watch too much televison :(

Asset - By the way, I still have not had a connection with you verified... can you check that you ahve added people from the list (well me actually) so that we can all race when on line. - Thanks

How does 8pm tonight (Tuesday) work for most people Should give everyone a chance to get in from work, bath the kids or whatever happens in your household in the evening.

Thank the lord he didn't also wolf-whistle at poor old JollyBaby too...after all publicy admiring a beautiful woman is now a sin that was cast out of society many years ago..... Playing Devils Avocado here....(something I expect to be thrown back at me) It always makes me wonder if good looking women were the ones who didn't like the building site workers wolf-whistling at them ... or was it the not so good looking ones who didn't like the building site workers NOT wolf-whistling at them...

Did anyone watch this show last night (Thursday) It was the tale of two extensions, one done by a polish team of builders and one by a british team I have to say (and I don't se this word often) but there were two C*^ts shown by it last night First one was the house owner(s) that the polish team worked for, they shafted them royally and telling the foreman that he couldn't get money for materials in advance, any changes to spec where his problem (and his cost) and finally told him they were bringing their electrician on site and his costs would come out of the builders agred fee (hence a loss of ?500) despite the team doing one amazing job... the good side is that the electrician liked their work so much he hired them for his extension. These property owners are the sorts of people you just want to smack and tell to get real The Second was the British builder, who took longer then planned, got virtually all the money up front despite not delivering (every time there was a problem with the site, he downed tools and went off to another job) the work was substandard and he did such a bad job that the council (where it was filmed) are now going to investigate his work. He also constantly told the camera how he always has to go and fix the bodges that polish builders make... (let me think about that for a moment) He is the sort of builder you want to tell people not to use. It was a fascinating program and whilst it generalised the two different 'classes' of builders, it showed that you can't always tell what standard of work you would get just by where they come from, their accent or anything. It was great viewing and I am curious to see what comments other people had concerning 'bobski the builder'

I guess that would also have depened on what JollyBaby's reaction to said 'ugly old man'slapping her bottom was as well, if she was still "Chuffed to bits" then I would hope exactly the same as the reaction here... however I expect it would be a completely different initial post however if it was done by an ugly old man !!!
