I don't believe him tho. Wait, I don't care! But The Last Enemy on BBC1 is boring me and I can't be arsed to turn it off.

Marilyn Manson doing Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams.

Is SImply Sausages still going? They used to have a shop in Berwick Street. (West One...)

I am terribly sorry to hear about this and my heart goes out to you. I am sure you will be there for him and encourage him to talk when he needs to. I used to live at Gipsy Hill years ago and I loved it.

... when you go down the stairs into that little antique shop beneath some cafe on Lordship Lane, the shop that has ancient greetings cards and tins and old Oxo tins and placemats and godknows what like biscuit tins and old cruet sets and tea sets and you suddenly see something that you have had no reason to see or think about since you last saw it thirty odd years ago or more.... and it's in front of you and you realise you are old enough to have had parents who bought that tea-set / plastic place mat / glass ware design / when you were little.

Naff things that I like? Watching first series of Mission Impossible on FiveUS some afternoons when I am supposed to be working at home. Wait, it wasn't naff. Horlicks of a cold evening, tucked up and cuddled up in bed. Ooohh I love Nivea! And E45 cream. And Oil of Ulay (do you mind, ULAY!) bath cream!

LOVE Lucozade which Godley and Creme* referred to as Hospital Champagne. Drink plenty of that. Goes well with Gin too. Or vodka. Or both... and I recommend a capsule called CONTACT which dries runny dozes*** like a dweem. * ex 10cc ** ** British musical beat combo from 1970s **** *** noses **** they also wrote a fabulous song called "You've Got A Cold". I'll get my coat.

Tooo funny. Really enjoyed reading that lot. What about the out-of-working class section? I am determined to try and be normal, it sounds so much fun. spc, read this link again. It's hysterical.

But then you'd never be able to enjoy the beauty of pure sensuous skin. I wish I could get free prescriptions (without the necessity of moving to Wales!)

I do rather like the idea of some librarians or library staff being referred to as search tools.

Nooo they're precious those paper licences! Stick it together with Vistafoil and keep using it. Hold on to paper licences!

But the utility company raise their prices so much that you can't afford to run a freezer to make ice for your Pimms and exotic fruit accompaniments. I wish I could drink more than two pints of beer in an evening, before suffering incredible headaches the following morning.

Or indeed his sister Senda

But you DID scratch them all before the ex left, suspecting this might be the case. I wish there was a tiny iPod capable of holding ALL my albums and CDs and ALL my photos and movies and copies of ALL movies I ever loved and all my contacts and phone numbers and that I had five such iPod thingies so if I lost one I had others.

Stand up, deep breath, and say - "DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!! [THEN PAUSE....] No, that was not aimed at the groom, but that was the advice given to me when I was asked to do this speech...." Then give the best best man speech of your life. I would also advocate practicing it in front of a mirror and a good friend before hand and record it so you can see yourself and HEAR yourself - where you speak too quickly and so on...

Ahhahahahaahahahaahahahaha No, nothing like that. More, "Let me check on the computer. Chekov, that's Anton, right?" "Yes." "Southwark got rid of a load of books several years ago that had had no readers, and just kept those that were popular, and maybe they were amongst those sold, because we hold no books by Chekov in Southwark Library." (A bit like, "Computer says noooo") "WOuld you like me to renew your library card for you whilst you're here?" "What would be the point?" "We got the new Westlife CD you could borrow" * * That last line was a lie.

But then the finger was the only thing jamming the leak so more floods cometh. I wish for a sighting of the kingfisher in the park this afternoon.

Yup.

OK damn I missed all the posts before they got edited. Is Davina a plumber bloke called Eric testing out his female side on us? I agree about the onion seller posting being more interesting. Why was Shu shurruped for saying that? Onwards.

Well done AndrewDBlack! Interestingly the librarian in Nunhead Library could not find them and gave the information about there being none in the whole system. So I wonder what happened! Oh well, Cherner Books saved me in the end....

Ahem. Mattham, let me correct you: "Driving into the cyclists' box at the lights (obviously ? motorbikes too ? look at the picture on the road, is there an engine? No." YES THERE IS IN TOWER HAMLETS!!! And that's the problem there is no London-wide rule. In Richmond motorcylists can ride in bus lanes. And in Westminster also many of the bus lanes are biker friendly. And in Tower Hamlets Motorcycles are encouraged to share the space at the front of the lights with cyclists. My biggest problem with cyclists is those who undertake at speed behind and to the left of lorries or vans ie they are hidden, so that as the lorry driver flahes his lights to let me turn right in front of him I have to be doubly careful in case some cycling twat is undertaking that lorry. I hit one doing just that once and I was the one whose insurance company had to pay fifteen grand odd to the cyclist. Do they (and scooter riders) seriously believe that when they get hit they won't hurt? In the above accident my armoured motorcycle jacket, heavy protected boots and gloves prevented me from getting hurt when my motorcycle landed on me. Idiot cyclist was in lycra and there was blood all over the place because he landed on his chin. Cycle helmets don't protect chins. And small print on most cycle helmets say anyway that they are not guaranteed for effectiveness OVER FIFTEEN MILES AN HOUR!!! But many cyclists are fine upstanding caring members of the community and ride safely because they DO KNOW they will hurt if they ride like twats.

Noooooooooo don't be meeeeeeeean. He can do what he wants but he was looking for a new hairdressers so I recommended Vicky! Honest!!!!!!!!

But you'd miss the beauty of watching a cat lick herself clean (mine takes HOURS even when she IS clean), or watch a kingfisher in the park seemingly doing nothing, or watching a flower close its leaves at the end of a day, all to be witnessed here on earth. I wish snobbery was banned!
