How about some longer lasting and bigger plants?

The cloudiness is usually millions of tiny bubbles depending on the pressure of the water coming out the tap. The PeckhamRoseHousehold has never had bottled water except when our block had a water outage. So now we keep one spare for emergencies only, along with champagne for the same reason. And that's bubbly too. ;) I am always amazed at seeing people down Rye Lane who don't look like they earn a lot of money doing the most ridiculous money-wasting things with what little they clearly do have: things like carrying 4 liter bottles of water, whilst smoking and eating their fast food. But then that's democracy.. I'm thirsty now. Where's the bolly.

If a statue is to be put on the roundabout would the council pay for it? If the answer is YES, I vote we all vote against it and force the council to use the money set aside for the statue to go to saving Livesey Museum instead. If the answer is no, can Anthony Gormley not be asked to contribute an idea? Give someone else a chance. On the other hand, a statue may divert driver's attentions away from their texting, so best not have one....

I find the Pyrotechnists positively unfriendly and weird and in a time warp. Old Nun's Head is lovely but a bit... bare. Have yet to try the food there though. Man of Kent - remember your cloth cap. Page Two new version Village Inn, comfy but yet to get its atmosphere. Agree with AllForNun re Golden Anchor. I did not stop for a drink. And all of them and all pubs are much better since the government forced them to ban smoking. The only law the government's passed in recent years I agreed with.

Oh wow. OMG I love Muse. And poo I shall be away in April. I would have been willing to find my sleeping bag and queue overnight at RAH for tickets. But they don't do that anymore do they. You probably have to buy online with a credit card and pay over the odds to the credit card companies even for charity events. I hope that is not the case this time. I hope it is a wonderful time for everyone and that they make a lot of money for the charity. I wish I could be there. OMG I love Muse. Oh wow.

As I type I am listening to Radio 4 You and Yours discussing government and how there are too many laws and the history of democracy and so on. I believe that if the post office is on a hit list, then it is a done deal. Councillors, thank you for alerting us to the issue here, and I ask that do what you can, but why is it you only usually contribute something to this forum when it suits you?

Cherry Orchard opens Tuesday 26th at Lion & Unicorn 44 Gaisford Street NW5 2ED. I know some of the actors in it and the director's Russian so he's got his angle. If you fancy catching up on a classic for a tenner you could do worse! A mate of mine saw Mamma Mia recently and she was delightfully surprised. I still ain't going, tho.

Agree. They are slow because they go out find the cow kill it and cut it and then cook it. Well maybe not but they do cook it and not just heating it in a microwave, either. Haven't been for a while, thanks for reminding me. Would hate to see this gem close down through lack of trade though there's hopefully enough money in Nunhead to keep it going.

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.

mugged and beaten up!! (on the train)
PeckhamRose replied to Liz84's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
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.

What is normal? (for East Dulwich)
PeckhamRose replied to Marmora Man's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
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...
