  1. I too would like the Capital to become a cinema again. However, I wish to see some evidence that this is happening.
  2. I've had a look at the Forest Hill Forum and there's nothing recent about the cinema there (as far as I can see). Surely at the very least the Forest Hill rumour brigade should have swung into action, when the "news" has reached the EDF.
  3. Has there been official confirmation of the opening of the Forest Hill cinema anyway?
  4. I don't like Ms Felz either - but not because she's traditionally built. And there are a lot of fat blokes on TV who aren't criticised because of their size.
  5. I wasn't actually talking about you Otta - but to my mind, if not yours, there have been some unkind posts on this thread.
  6. Use of the expression "bored of" instead of the perfectly satisfactory "bored with".
  7. Having had a look at wavyline girl's comment re the skateboard incident, it seems to me that she was justified in being annoyed. I don't know why certain people are being unkind to her on this thread
  8. I don't remember Halloween being a big thing in the UK 40 years ago - Guy Fawkes was the main event then. And there was certainly then no protection racket ... sorry, Trick or Treat.
  9. And all this Halloween celebration? Another unwelcome import from the USA.
  10. I'd never heard of a beat combo called The Beatles until a member of the younger generation recently mentioned them to me. Who are they?
  11. E-dealer, I'm a self-confessed grumpy old OAP, but I've heard of Ms Moran.
  12. M'lord, Caitlin Moran (born Catherine Elizabeth Moran on 5 April 1975) is an English broadcaster, TV critic and columnist at The Times and author of the best selling book "How To Be a Woman".
  13. Some of us geezers ain't got no smartphones, so we have to use text messaging.
  14. What about a cinema in Dulwich Village as well? We don't want the poor denizens of DV to feel left out in the cold.
  15. You can text TfL on the number shown on the bus stop for this information.
  16. The point that I was trying to make was that "scope" has become yet another bullshit word - and IMHO that's the case, regardless of what the origin or the correct use of the word is.
  17. The use of the word "scoping" when what the person really means is "investigating". "Scoping" is really a computer science word, like so many words that have entered the world of bullshit language in recent decades.
  18. People who talk about "growing" a business rather than helping their business to grow. You grow vegetables, not businesses.
  19. IMHO Lucy Mangan's TV reviews are very funny. In them she is very witty (indeed a worthy successor to Nancy Banks-Smith) and not at all "up herself" - unlike many Grauniad journalists such as Sam Woolaston whose columns are full of "I think", "I did", "I", "I" etc rather than actual reviews of the programmes or subjects that they are supposed to be writing about.
  20. No, The Archers is a BBC serial that has been running since as recently as 1951. I'm quite certain that I'm named after an Archers character since I chose the name myself. Please see the reference to the late Mr Tring in item 21 of the following link. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/7778242/60-things-you-never-knew-about-the-Archers.html
  21. Sorry to get technical SC, but how do you manage to walk when your legs stick out of your arse, as you have revealed yours do? Do you lie in a horizontal position while you put one foot in front of the other? If so, that's rather clever. BTW I'm called after an old rustic Archers character called Zebedee Tring who died in 1973 (fictionally of course).
  22. We have Freesat as well. We can get BBC London, BBC South, BBC Wales, BBC Scotland etc etc etc.
  23. So your legs stick out of your arse, SC. How do you manage to walk? Seriously though folks, Sydenham (or at least the part nearest to the station) look promising and potentially worth moving to, before property prices go up much further.
  24. My wife's parents used to live next to the A3 in the days when it passed through Esher (before the bypass was opened). On one occasion they heard a number of cars hooting and went outside to see that their bloody minded Bassett hound was lying in the middle of one of the main trunk roads to the south west!
  25. That's very sad. Unfortunately, if one allows cats their freedom, there's always a risk that they will run into trouble, and Mackerel certainly seemed to be a very adventurous cat.
