They regularly used to go down to The Oval in Cliftonville, opposite the old Butlins on a Tuesday evenings. My Mum and her Mum used to go see them all every other Tuesday night, and came home about 9pm absolutley hoarse!

Check the direct.gov website. Might find your answers there.

I might, if he could pay for the car hire and petrol, depending on the time and day, of course.

Also becoming a member of the Southwark Leaseholders Organisation (volunteer run by very caring other Southewark Leaseholders who do a lot of useful work), which is called LAS2000. Then in the future they may also be able to advise. Google LAS2000 for the address.

Wow! Well for a Southwark Circle member I just tried to retune her little television and even after retuning, with her internal little aerial attached to the 8 yr old digibox, we couldn't locate ITV3 C4 or C5! Fortunately she has Virgin in the other rooms so she'll survive. Elsewhere on this forum Chick posted up some absolutely wonderful photos from the top of the towers!

Agree with Loz. It's my money and I'm not paying anyone for it. But I saw the news item and it's good their spending their commission on artists and designers!

Thanks Boosboss! I can understand the limited opening time, everyone is rightly very concerned and worried it may be trashed. It is an absolute gem and we should all take ownership of it and all protect it with pride!

Oh that's weird,the time of your post is before mine, yet I posted first!

The Opening today Was Excellent, and the flower and plant ribbon was cut and the place opened by the oldest and the two very youngest members of the Friends of Peckham Rye Park. There were so many different types of lovely people and their fabulous dogs at the opening this afternoon. We all hope all you wonderful dog owners will remember to keep your gorgeous dogs on leads in this most exquisite jewel in Peckham Rye Park. We all owe a huge debt to all the hard working volunteers of the Friends of Peckham Rye Park and the committee members that have worked so hard - each bringing talents to different sections (woodwork, iron work, etc etc) and brought this incredibly beautiful garden for us all to enjoy. Thanks from us all.

And can the cliques be included?(!)

Crematoriums have ipods and CD players. At least, every one I have worked in. Some also have their own libraries of stuff as well. Looks like DJKillaQueen has sorted this, so thanks to her. The lady who is the Crem Assistant at Honor Oak did the iPod music for me last week, and happens to be a neighbour and I think a member of this forum now. And like everyone else has said, I am sorry for your loss.

Cam123 I do not want to be associated with those rude types (two of them above) who are just plain cliquey and were the bully types you avoided at school, or the prefects who suddenly for the first time in their lives had a tiny little bit of power and let everyone know it. This forum can be useful, but sadly I too have been burned by really mean and nasty bitchy comments from a very few folk who made otherwise a pleasant thread turn rather nasty. I won't blame you at all if you pull out. Mistakes are not allowed here though. Best of luck mate.

Ours is Ten Pounds less than last year. Should I complain?

No, buggie, just for Lambeth residents.

I have been wearing hard lenses for 30 years now, all day most days. And when I hit forty three I started to have to wear reading glasses +1.25 on top of them. My prescription is a whopping +10.75 so when not wearing lenses the glasses are very thick! I would love to be able to afford the surgery but in my case they need to put the lens inside my eyes and so I'd still need to wear reading glasses. I should also think about going to Moorfields, had not thought of that. And yet, and yet, indeed my eyes are tested every two years and there is none, absolutely no damage to the cornea. I take a great deal of care and clean the lenses regularly and have only just got new ones, the last ones lasted about eight years! The only thing I can't do anymore is go camping, because it is mighty difficult to fiddle around with lenses and be that clean and hygienic when dealing with everything, in a tent! So I suppose I would add to your confusion. Lenses work. But if you can afford it, well I'd have the surgery too!

Starlings completely ravished the entire contents of my squirrel proof bird seed feeder. Bastards! Still, mustn't discriminate! It's meant for littler birds than them!

It's not bad at Christmas, either!

I would LOVE to see Long Days Journey Into Night with Laurie Metcalfe who I absolutely adore (Mike Figgis' Internal Affairs, Leaving Las Vegas, and Roseanne's sister in Roseanne) as well as David Suchet. But I can't afford it!

I knit. Very very slowly. Been at a nicely designed scarf for my dear mate who's birthday is in October. I was hoping to have it ready for her two Octobers ago... I also Get creative in the kitchen now and again and knit in there too. Haaaaaahahaha

I agree about the pheromone sticky traps. It's fun to see the little buggers stuck on them. I get mine from ebay. And we put them everywhere. About four in the living room floor level, and a few stuck to the ceiling of the wardrobes. One thing I learned from the aforementioned useful website above posted by someone was that the moths like moisture, so they'd like human sweat, so therefore they like worn clothes and shoes where there is human sweat. So clean and thoroughly dry clothes before you put them away, and keep worn clothes somewhere separately and enclosed. Quick!!! There's one!

I have a feeling that was a Tommy Cooper joke, possibly written for him by Peter Vincent.

I came home the other day, someone had broken in, stolen everything. Then they had put it back exactly as they found it, and fixed the lock so that when I came home everything was normal. Bastards.

Sunny Friday. Off to husband's ex-girlfriend's 60th birthday party. Positive post, we're all friends!

Cleanliness definitely has a part to play. We have very clean woollen carpets. They love them so much...

Happy Wedding tomorrow LouLoub!
