PeckhamRose

Taking Mr PR there for his birthday treat early December. Anyone got a favourite? I've checked several on the web and trip advisors and can't make up my mind.

Oh really? I just looked at the map and I thought it said Peckham? Must have read it wrong.

Radio 4 in the morning, like a grown up, then after 2pm over to Planet Rock on DAB or computer.

Why did that large bit of land east of California / Nevada get called Arizona? Why did that other bit of land near Texas get called Arkansas and why is it pronounced Ark An Saw. Why is that bit of land east of Russia get called Alaska. A?

It's false security. I'm female and I occasionally walk across the park after dark or down Rye Lane alone, I feel no safer just because there are cameras in rye Lane, and feel no more in danger just because there aren't, in the park. Point being, do some self defence, and don't look like a victim (carrying keys, talking into a mobile, looking nervous) etc. You can be sure there are cameras in the shops and Post office etc, and passing busses etc. But why live in fear? I'm sure you're not and were just wondering. But that's me.

Why, what were you thinking of doing? ;)

Blackheath. Went past there a few days ago and it looked like there might be fireworks. if not, I agree with the beautifully named titch juicy!

Please see the message from SNT that I have started as a new thread so as to attract as much attention to it as possible, assuming and hoping the moderator allows it. Thank you.

I have been emailed the following and requested that it be put on the East Dulwich Forum. "Following the shooting in East Dulwich on Thursday afternoon, extra officers have been drafted into the area and surrounding boroughs to reassure the public, and make it clear to anyone even considering being involved in violence that it will not be tolerated. Our priority is to bring to justice to those responsible for this horrific shooting and to prevent any further incidents from occurring over the coming days. A significant number of witnesses have come forward and detectives from Operation Trident have been working around the clock to gather evidence and piece together exactly what occurred and identify those responsible for this outrageous act. Trident received strong community support while carrying out inquiries in the area last night, which continue today. Policing plans are in place across south London to prevent and deter violence and other crime from occurring and to provide reassurance to the public as they enjoy Bonfire Night celebrations over the weekend. Historically this is a time of the year that the Met steps up police activity, targeting crime traditionally associated with seasonal events. Thank you. PECKHAM RYE SNT 0207 161 8325"

I heard this as I left at about 11.30 and yet when I went to (do a funeral at) Lambeth Crematorium, that crematorium had police helicopters circling as well and yet there weren't any young people being cremated there today. No idea what they were doing there as well. But indeed I agree, a sad day for the families and friends involved.

I saw the back of them too much! They were / are really dangerous to try and overtake!

WE are your friends.

Ditto Peckham Rye Lido indeed. Margate Pier. OK that came down in the 1976 storms and wasn't knocked down by peeps.

I have a FABULOUS recipe for grapefruit sauce with soy sauce and honey and all sorts, in the Two Fat Ladies cook book. I can not scan that and don't have time to write it all out. So if it floats your boat, PM me and I will give you my number and you can call and I'll read it out over the phone. It is absolutely delicious and really rich.

I live in a block of flats. Nearly 3 years ago we had double glazing put in the whole block. We have had to pay ?8,500 but of course that will add the value of block should we ever leave. We have a two bedroomed flat but it is on a sort of peninsular of the block so we had windows and private balcony doors on 3 sides. Since that day we have only put our fire on twice. So even with all that snow and nastiness, only twice did we need the fire on, when - beforehand - we had it on every day in winter! Despite raises in fuel prices, our fuel bills are actually still less. As long as you have a healthy efficient boiler too, all should be good. (We had 3 years interest free to pay off the ?8,500 and had several years' notice by the way!)

Sazzle you wonderful traveller you. So happy (and envious!) you're off on another fab trip! Not that you asked specifically, but if you have time I highly recommend you nip up into Georgia and visit Savannah, you will not want to leave. It's sooooooo purrrrdy.

Agree with above, if I have to actually do some work and register then sod it. Oh self employment is wonderful!

Far too few people give blood and I used to have a constant reminder as my Signature till the signature police removed it a few years ago. I gave 25 pints before having to stop when they removed the goal posts on the drugs they'd accept in the blood! I would urge all you can, do. And thanks for starting this thread!

13. I'm off to New Zealand.

Did you tell her that, Kalamiphile?!

You could get your ISP to block that sender.

You got a bug mate. Get MalWare on to it immediately.

For the price you pay for wine in pubs I'd want a proper wine glass. His excuse is pathetic! It's not even a french pub, or why did they call it The Actress (and not "Le" and whatever the French is for Actress!)

Far left second row from the front.

It is all on the www.bt.com website, look under BT Vision. I choose not to have sports, but I do recommend BT Vision. However, you don't get Sky Arts with it or Sky Atlantic, but as far as Sports are concerned whether it comes via Broadband or direct through the aerial, I would recommend BT Vision. Never had a problem with it.
