Being out with a mate who's the son of a mate of mine and being asked by his mates if I am his Mum. Not being bothered to get out and go to the pub (that's truly shocking). Having a headache in the morning after only TWO pints. Thinking that today's fashions (that really should be going out of fashion soon please) of wearing beltless jeans around your arse to show off your pants and - apparently - to identify with the American bruds in jail (who have their belts removed for safety) is absolutely bloody ridiculous.

The Penitentiary. That's what we call it anyway. But in actual fact it is called Dalston Heights on OverhillRoad and the views from there at any time of year are fabulous. On New Year's there's quite a good atmosphere and you can see everyone's fireworks going off all over. Unless it is foggy. Oh, and bring alcohol...

Fair point tho Gav.

Nope, my mobile goes in a pocket deep down in my waterproof trousers and I set it to vibrate. What with that and the nice little vibrate under the seat, who needs men or any of their appendages including their mobiles?

Oh it's not bad - it's dead funny. I see that. I haven't got a handbag because I can't find one big enough to put my motorcycle helmet in it.

I was being facetious. Sorry. The opening statement "For over a decade now men and women have been judged by the size of their mobile phone" got me because you don't state your sources, and it seems like it's just your opinion. Then you go and talk gender. And the stereotyping thing never works. Foe starters this woman doesn't have a handbag. Blackberries are bigger than most regular mobiles but I would say in my non scientific experience more women have them than men. It's a bit "so what" as a discussion in my humble opinion.

It still depends what you want to do with it.

Send this to John Beasley, editor of The Peckham Society's newsletter and get it published. To those of you who care (CharlieCharlie?) and live in Peckham, I do recommend this group.

I am really enjoying this thread. Just thought I'd say. There some smart folk here.

How does the above recommendation help? An idea I have is to take up a tray of cakes or something nice. Put them on the back foot sort of thing.

So? What happened? Tie him up did you? Buy the Adult Naughty Chair for him for Xmas?

In THOSE heels?

Generally speaking men have better spacial awareness than women so that would make them better at parking. Thankfully motorcycles park easy in little spaces... Oh - and to the woman talking on her mobile whilst badly driving her 4x4 past PetsSmart at noon today, who then screamed and yelled at me when I had the audacity to shout at her for nearly driving into me as I was waiting to pull out, and THEN she nearly hit a bus - HHAHAHHAAAHAHHHAHAAHHAHAHAHA. Her kids in the back seat not strapped in were looking a bit anxious too.

I agree!

I am a woman and I have ALWAYS thought she is wonderful.

Thanks for this, Sue. I have no idea what a vine weevil looks like but since I have never grown this plant successfully I am never going to try again. Me Winter berries look fab though, and one year I planted one in my upturned hanging helmet and it grew and berried every winter for 8 years. And in the summer the geranium I planted next to itin the same helmet grew and flowered also every summer for eight years. That worked, then.

What does "before 7" mean? You crazy people ;)

So a small Wetherspoons it could be, then.

Were either of you new / 2nd time Dads in Mon petit cafe today about Noon? A tall woman was with you and you carried tiny lickle baby in a carry thing like a back to front rucksack (can you tell I am not a parent?) I was too shy to ask you to identify yourself!

Ha! Let us know when we can read it!

Bread Machine. ?20. Bought off lilly123 and used regularly ever since and is fabulous.

Ahem. "Widows"? MrPR would have an issue with that!

Fair point Vicki but when anyone comes on here from a political party and says "we", forgive us for gritting our teeth (a bit more than are the roads...). Whereas - anyone who knows Eileen knows when SHE says "we" she includes anyone who feels included.

How do you know he was from Peckham? Is it coz he was black / wore a hood / or wot tho?
