Lunchtime, if it is not a costume drama, turn up at the catering trolley for lunch. Great food can be had on location!

Getting around to joining Southwark Circle as a Member (I'm a Helper and go round other people's houses to help do what THEY have been putting off!). (Over fifties only!) So I can get someone else round and do my things for a lot cheaper. Like cleaning my motorcycle....

My biggest regret is not getting in early enough to buy new good things that come up for sale. But I did once get a fabulous breadmaker for a tenner or so years ago and have never bought bread since. Oh - okay, more humbly then, I regret being unable to write well enough not to be taken as seriously when I don't intend it, and to be taken more seriously when I do. I certainly don't get as wound up about idiots who write such offensive stuff to me in PMs, as I used to.

It's the third free ebay weekend this year and it's 9.07 on a Sunday night and I've still not got round to putting stuff on. I need to treat my new waterproof boots before I go out on the bike in them and it rains... (always best to add stuff on) I need to sand down and then paint the pipe running along the top of the hall, all else of which was decorated over a year ago...

But I do prefer the new title that you gave it John!

Roast is stonkingly expensive but I treated me and MrPR to breakfast there on his birthday. We then ate again the following week. It is one fab restaurant if you are rich...

It's not open 24 hours though and the above number does not take you directly to East Dulwich Police Station. This might, tho i have not tried it. So you could try it and report back to this thread. 020 8284 7364

Yeah, it's true! Hey Supernanny, I was not being unkind at all, I love your name and was just wondering how and why you chose to have Supernanny* instead of just Supernanny sans Asterisk! Back to the thread, I personally am dog free but I can tell you a lot of dogwalkers can be seen on Peckham Rye Park at most time of days, and are a very friendly lot. So just approach and ask them. If you're friendly, they'll be friendly!

Someone's selling the tickets for 02 as we speak. Take binoculars. You'll be fine. No, I wouldn't.

The council website won't tell you. The police website might, which is why I requested my earlier thread to be 'stickied'. But there is certainly information on the Local Info tab.

I still get dividends. Are you a member of the Co-op?

An asterisk***. The little star thing to the right of your name. It usually refers the reader to a note*, not necessary in the main body of a book or article but that can be seen at the end**. * like that. ** or this. *** Also the name of a French animation character.

What's with the asterisk? Or is that the name of your dog?!

I saw a photoshopped one (obviously, at least I hope 'obviously'!) of one crossing the San Francisco Gate Bridge. Can't find it now. Sorry.

I'm coming back as It'sSpeltPHOENIX or PedantRose

He's allergic to dogs?

Oh I ain't knocking it. I'd go if I could afford a ticket! I saw the Penny Wilton / Michael Gambon version in the 80s. Can still remember that!

The Stage truly did not like it, and highly rated ad preferred the version also currently on at the Globe. Apparently they went for easy laughs! Well, I kinda thought they might have.

PM sent.

Sort of like the Telephone Preference Service you mean? Wot, and miss out on the opportunity to have fun testing theories and making them sound like idiots, on days you're feeling bored and mischievous?! I like spouting from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or - more radically, the very wonderful Pat Condell, who some people - even Atheists and Humanists - can not stand!, just to watch their little religious eyes glaze over.

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/sexual-violence-against-women-predates-porn-20110603-1fkcw.html Nahhh Here's another article.

Here's another very good article reminding us that rape was around before porn.

The wonderful Attila the Stockbroker wrote a rantpoem about this years ago in the 1980s. It was about the time a rapist was let off because the woman he was accused of raping was wearing a short skirt. The Judge cited the reason for letting him off as being 'contributory negligence' on the part of the raped woman. So one evening (Attilas said as part of the poem) he follows the judge home and attacks and robs him. Why? Contributory negligence! He was a High Court Judge, he was begging to be attacked! I do see your point, dita, I really do. But the real point is that some men are weak and can't control themselves. But not all men. Should we all dress in burkhas with the full veil because of the few? Is it our fault they're like this? No. The fact that many men are NOT like that points to two reasons; education and self control.

It's not all that bad.

Well, before I found a man to teach me how to sit appropriately on my motorcycle, this was me.
