  1. On a differnt type of bee subject, I was gardening today and emptied out an old little plant pot of soil which had no plants in it, in order to put a new liner in it. I disturbed three very big colourful bees. They looked quite shaken, ie they were shaking and I moved well away. I brought some water close to them, and then went back inside and shut the door. Later I went out and saw one of the bees burying himself back into the plant tub. And re. my other post, my bee friendly plants are attracting loads of smaller bees, and I had seeds left so planted them in 'dead' areas of land near where I live. Chick, hope your new hives are successful !
  2. Plus a dot, it's here http://www.stephenwrightartist.co.uk/ Thanks for the post though.
  3. Nunheadites sounds like a nasty cranial disease. As there are a few Southwark council care homes in Nunhead and as men on average die sooner than men, does this have anything to do with it?
  4. Indeed, if you search under Peckham Rye in ebay you'll usually see old postcards of sheep and donkeys on the Rye, and other such items including countless rail ticket stubs and issues of the rather fun Ballad of Peckham Rye.
  5. Boots. Ex Timothy Whites! But to say this, "Easy, Southwark Council with their modernisation programme of the time. No doubt, they will have the latest idiots causing more damage than what the Luftwaffe did during the second world war." is a bit mean. If anyone cares enough about Peckham they'll find through peckham Vision, The Peckham Society and the like just what plans are afoot to improve the centre. Incidentally, I got a 1910 photo of Peckham Rye Park the other day, and I'll scan that on here.
  6. I am happy with BT and their customer service but recently found out that our block was the only block on our est not wird to BT Infinity! No room left in the box, or something. I would wait tho, it will be worth it...
  7. Bread machine. Bought my first bread machine on this very site for about ?10 6 yrs ago and never looked back. Someone's always got one for sale somewhere, gumtree or ebay or somewhere.
  8. I got tickets for Dame Judi as I love Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland and LOVED that 1980s film with Coral Brown when she played her, which name I can never remember. And I went to see her in the IMHO dreadful Madame de Sade but she had sprained her ankle (She could have sat throughout, nobody did anything except Frances Barber who thrashed a whip against her big frock now and again) and an understudy took her place. I got tenner tickets in second circle from the top which don't have restricted viewing. I shall bring binoculars!
  9. Was it stuffed with feathers?
  10. Done. Fab! Thanks giggirl!
  11. An underground road tunnel to get us to City and West End. Olympic free of course.
  12. Local housing officers are co-ordinating info on any-one they may suspect who has previously taken elderly people for their pensions. I know it is unlikely in this case but I thought I'd cover all angles.
  13. Just wanted to say as per my opening post, the problem had nothing to do with the content of, or software that created, the website itself, and has been sorted with the help of a kind person from here. Character assasinations from others in a PM were not welcome and they missed the point of the problem. Thanks to (otherwise) good folk of EDF!
  14. Someone on the show last night defined middle class as being aspirational; I would disagree - working classes are even more so. They aspire probably more than anyone else. But I loved the programme and I love what he does.
  15. No, that's not the problem. 123-reg have no problem hosting my little trellix built webpage, but they do have a problem explaining to me how to update my debit card so I can actually pay for a new year. I apologise for not making that clear in the first posting. But thanks for the information there Huguenot. I think the bar is set too high for me!
  16. And 4 years ago Seers / now the Willis in Chicago was $12.50.
  17. Oh Chick you poor thing. I too am allergic to beesting but why the antibiotics? I was immediately put on steroids to deal with the poison. I do hope the floods won't reduce their number, but this year I sowed a lot of bee friendly plants on the balconies and on some spare bits of open land and there have been a few bees visit!
  18. Thanks for your help folks. I use Trellix to make my website. It is an ancient thing, although we still use it to update our websites, we need to find a new host. I am not at all technically able to use codes; Trellix did it all for us. It is a bit like Word in that way, just plopping facts and figures and photos around. So I want still to be able to use Trellix, just find a new host to place the website in. I shall check out your suggestions, and thank you so much for them!
  19. It's been thrilling hasn't it MM. And watching 20 fenchurch Street going up is interesting too. But nothing beats the Shard. Well, 'cept the one in Moscow that's just inched/centimeter'd itself slightly higher!
  20. It's not much different to "Were you born in a barn?"
  21. No they haven't - I saw it and the one at Beulah Hill right next to it, and my flat! Thanks for sharing this. I can't WAIT to get up there!
  22. I agree fazer, and if the female of the partnership is assertive strong and knows what she wants, he makes snide comments to male partner and often to camera about how this could be a problem, yet the last shot is of the house done and beautiful and seemingly so 'despite' her. At a Grand Designs show at Excel last year there was a discussion about modern kitchens with the guys from Poggenpohl and other companies and him on the panel. Now who spends most time in the kitchens? Mostly women. Not one woman on that panel. Hurts me to think he's sexist but I fear it is so. Yet I love the programme because I love watching imagination and passion and architecture at work.
  23. Yeah I'm getting an extension and a garage installed. I'm in a third floor flat so they're wondering how the hell I'm going to do it. So am I.
  24. Seriously gutted for you, mate!
  25. 484 turns right / south at the east side. Both junctions need reviewing.
