And another thing. Whilst no-one should feel pressurised ever to do so, I think it is a good thing for some people (like Terry Pratchett for example with alzheimers) to live out their illness and ultimate dying in public. It's controversial I know and maybe for another thread, but if we see how it affects some people and they are more open about it, then this can be a good thing as we will all learn from it. But as I said, that's probably for another thread. I can't imagine what she and her kids are going through. But by seeing dramas like the Julie Waters one and another one a few years written by and starring Emma Thompson, we can all learn just that little bit more about how illnesses take their toll and how NHS can or can't deal with them. And if we don't like them we can always not watch or read about it.

Errr... ok!!!

So is all war and suffering and hardship and sickness and rape and child soldiers and hate crimes and so on. But this is about Jade Goody and her cancer.

Great fun. You can generate your own. Mine is above but someone also wrote, "There is probably no Allah, now stop blowing people up!" Here's the link http://ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/?s1=Yes+our+bus+fares+are+extortionate.&s2=Get+used+to+it&s3=Or+get+a+car

Daft suggestion this, but, try phoning your water company?

You can generate your own slogan on a website, so given the controversy about the word "probably" I thought I would do this one.

Let's hope they accept Oyster soon!

No post for me or my neighbours, and we usually get our post about 1.00pm (SE15 3xx)

Individual managers are not much use then when they can not help with problems people have which involve the bigger corporate issues, like buying tickets. I don't travel regularly on the trains so I don't need a season ticket, but if I want to buy one in advance and the ticket booth is shut, the ticket machines won't sell tickets for travel beyond that day.

I hate the Boots in Peckham, the staff are usually so miserable even to those of us who are polite and friendly! And I would not say it is big. The one in Lewisham is big. I agree that independent pharmacies would be in keeping with the Lordship Lane way of doing things, but they have to sell what people want. Like Boots hand cream, Boots bubble bath, Boots foot spa stuff, Boots Evening Primrose Oil talcum powder...

Oh we've ALL done that.

When do we see (in a photo) example of your darker-than-most sense of humour?

Trying to get any work done. Wait, I'm not waiting till Lent to do that. I'm giving that up already!

I have to please the audience. So Spacey is back, a few messages above, as requested!

Spaceycat, not at all bothered by all the snow which was quite visible outside the window!

CC? Congestion Charge? Credit Crunch? or Canny C*&ts that have worked out there are cheaper more effective ways of selling property than going through an estate agent.

Modelled on someone I know. He has a tattoo on his: it says supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Same Co-op company as the supermarket and Co-op Funeral directors. All part of the happy shiny co-operative chain of which we members get our profit dividends. I hope it does not close. But the Lloyds one round the corner in North Cross Road, that's not much better but maybe there's not room enough for the both of them.

OMG I thought I was about to read that Tony Curtis had died. I would have been inconsolable. But indeed, CBale, such a shame, love his stuff, but what an arse.

Where's that photo Horsebox. I could do with a laff.

giggirl those pix are adorable. Get me one NOW. Meanwhile, louisa I am so sorry you have problems accepting London's faults, but one thing that I loved about yesterday was that people talked with one another even if - as I witnessed in the park - some of them were "talking" to a woman who was telling her little kid not to throw a snowball. People were helping each other and meeting up and building snowmen together. It was great. I am going to Lordship Lane to take some photos for someone and hope to see more of the same.

Shrink a JPeg by selecting something like "Adapt for Web" in "File" in Adobe Photoshop. Click Image then choose about 600 for the shortest width or length. Anyway, some more photos, tho not necessarily of the things people built, just what nature made!

Thanks HeidiHi, but to be slightly pedantic, much of the above was in (coughsplutter) Peckham ;) enid that is a great photo! It was fabulous to be out on the park and common and just see people getting along and having fun with one another! My god, I even saw strangers talking with one another!

Here's half an igloo on north end of Peckham Rye. Note the air brick effect top right? Fabulous design.

My photos but not my snowman! Nice blue tinge doncha think?
