  1. So sorry to hear this but yes all of the above. Also worth investing in a webcam device, and a movement sensitive light?
  2. I probably got mine from someone who insisted on being in the waiting room at the surgery rather than taking their advice AND STAYING AT HOME! And those martyrs who insist on going to work when they are clearly infectious and insist on sharing it with everyone on crowded busses and tubes, oh well done! Whinge over.
  3. Done. As Marilyn Monroe said, "I love finding new places to wear diamonds". I don't want mine on me undies thanks!
  4. I agree with MM, it's common in Ireland. Mr PR went in to one such establishment one time and it was in a tiny village miles from everywhere and the Post Office Man said, "Oim so sorry Sor, We're roight out of stsmps - let me buy you a drink to make up for it." Perfectly civilised if you ask me. We can't keep blaming other things/people for the fact people get drunk. The Card Shop and Thorntons Chocolates share a shop in various places which I think highly odd, since who wants chocolate sticky fingermarks all over their cards?! So a post office in a pub, which maybe also sells milk and maybe with a petrol pump outside would be bliss.
  5. It's bizarre. When Extras was on it was a Huge Deal that De Niro appeared, but now it's no surprise when someone comes on. I thought Helena Bonham Carter was fabulous (in anything she does), but when Ricky Gervais writes jokes against himself that a lot of people are thinking but then they come out of the beautifully shaped mouth of Johnny Depp, you still think, genius. Life's Too Short for me is getting boring because Warwick Davis is just playing a short Gervais. The lines are the same, the reactions, the cut-ins and interruptions etc.
  6. No no no. Teabag in mug before the water, and with sugar as necessary - and I find it necessary to put in 2 teaspoons of Demerara in it. Boiling water in mug. Stir the lot. Add semi-skimmed. Biscuit also a necessary extra.
  7. I was at home, Officer, but I don't have an alibi.
  8. Similar to Dryxster I also had a parking ticket from Westminster and the guy had made the Y of my vehicle to look like an X. They must have found my address by using the correct reg no but still accused me of parking a vehicle with X in the reg no. I wrote back and said I would be happy to go to court and affirm that I do not own a vehicle with that reg no (with the X in). Result. Letter arrived saying due to a technical error your case is closed.
  9. Contant the two hairdressers and tell them, and then contact the environment department of the Council 020 7525 2000 and tell them of your concerns.
  10. What an absolutely brilliant idea. You could cover loads of subjects and have a sort of timetable you could publish here in the What's On Section. You might care to link up with the people who organise the Members' Events; being the Members of the Foundation Trust of Kings College Hospital. They do lunchtime seminars on all sorts of subjects. I would love to hear about are geriatric depression (My elderly Mum suffers this), about NLP(!), and generally would like to come along to such meetings.
  11. And during Funerals when I always have a minute's silence so those with faith can say a silent prayer in their own time, I am often completely overwhelemed when - at the end - there is sometimes and completely unpredictably an applause for the joy given by the life of the person who has died. The length of applause usually relates to how many people are there and the age of the deceased.
  12. Oh that is brilliant! Not for the kid, obviously.
  13. Look up British Journal of Photography website. MrPR has been keeping up to date on this and got himself on the front page of the Telegraph a year ago when there was a flash mob (yes, see what I did?!) in Trafalgar Square with everyone wearing badges saying "Photographer Not Terrorist". There is a lot of publicity about the laws so don't panic!
  14. WTF? Anyway, MrPR had his new biked nicked - though they left front wheel - from his work in Bermondsye last Friday. KONA grey and red Dr Good model. Police report made on line and looks like it's covered on our contents insurance. He's gutted.
  15. I saw it and felt so sorry for the suckers who went along. There's something immoral about it but then we're all free to make the choices! The Nursery Nurse was the saddest case, she was going through all these - well, mantras I suppose - and dances and I wonder how she thought becoming a millionaire would happen. And yet, there is something in the positivity programming as Derren Brown et al shows in his programmes. You are subliminally programmed to be open to possibilities if you train yourself to be so. A friend of my aunt's in Los Angeles spends thousands of dollars every year going to big seminars every year which talk of how taxation is supposedly illegal and is nothing more than government theft, and teaches how to get out of paying it.
  16. Depends what they advertise. Personally I don't think you can have enough advertising for Kindles or BT Infinity which no-one round here can get even if they wanted it.
  17. No no no no NO! Sean Connery was Bond when I was a kid and I STILL say Daniel Craig is the best ever Bond!
  18. It was on the telly. She's been arrested. So that's her dealt with. Now the the thousands of others! In a way it is a good thing the story happened because the fact we all saw it meant she could be identified. Many is the time I have to go work in areas like Thamesmead or Bow or Kennington or Staines or somewhere and the racism is blatant and unapologetic.
  19. Do they not have a Patient Forum you could all join to try and change things? I highly recommend Nunhead Surgery Nunhead Grove for those of you in East Dulwich who ARE in theit catchment area. The patient forums meet at different times so as many folk can come as possible. The Doctors there are really clued up though and for example refuse to entertain the idea of 0870 numbers, and you can see a doctor the same day as well as up to a week or two ahead. The receptionists are nice, too!!
  20. !!! Were they hot tin bricks?
  21. It's alright, we got a taxi.
  22. Me and SpaceyCat need a lift home from the Lorship Lane vets to PeckhamRye east side at 5.00 ish today. Motorbike brerk.
  23. Lots of little flowers been planted to make it look like Spring!
  24. I would like to add that I have nothing to do with EastDulwichRose. Nice name, though!
  25. Hi Consequential. Are you "in"?* * Apologies but it's 11.48 Sunday morning and I'm still vegging in bed.
