How very dare you! I am prepared to slap legs you know.

Shame on you both (stomps foot). I shall have you know that I have the pert physique of an 18 year old (she is bouncing on the trampoline avec my progeny as I type).

How about a car? An Aston Martin DB9 should hit the spot!

But I am not wearing clingfilm and margarine... yet!

I love singing in Latin: Remember this little ditty? "Veni Creator Spiritus, mentes tuorum visita, imple superna gratia quae tu creasti pectora" (sang while flouncing around the kitchen island in the light of a Diptyque candle, glass of Chablis in hand...)

Was that spam?

Muley dear heart, count yourself lucky, my darling son and heir is playing Cinderella (stomps foot). Have you any idea how much we pay for this damn privelidge? That school will be the ruination of my family. Just last Saturday he insisted on watching "Strictly", because "all the other boys watch it" OHMYGOD!

Couldn't you purchase a super swishy tie from your club to impress the judge? He may even be hoping to become a member himself. Although clearly this will only work if you can ensure he will not be blackballed at The Garrick, Spearmint Rhino doesn't have the same kudos!

Or how about the new shampoo to repel headlice from our little munchkins? The only problem being that it relies on "active ingredients" Tea tree oil and lemon eucalyptus to deter the pests, and neither of these ingredients are shown to be of any use at all. I carried out a full search of the current journals and literature, and as a matter of fact, neither ingredient is a proven deterrant, and one study from Australia claims that tea tree oil, used for this purpose, is toxic to children. Mayonaise and wet combing is more effective. Do they think we are idiots? Just because tea tree oil is a trendy mild anti-bacterial preparation, it does not follow that it can repel head lice. No doubt their research, which claims "8 out of ten children" were protected when using it is based on asking questions such as "did your child catch head lice when using this shampoo?" How incredibly scientific! There is another brand I shall avoid at all costs from now on.

We bought it for my mother, she lives in Beckenham.

?57 for a 6 ft tree at Alleyn Park Garden Centre - how very dare they! We bought our's there, clearly...

The paper boy doesn't come on Sunday and I wanted The Times. Well you didn't really see me buying food in there did you?

Ha!

They looked like two university students who should know better. What can ever be termed harmless about what has gone on in Iraq? I don't need Tony Blair to protect me from the truth, do you? I am still suprised at how restrained I was.

I have just been standing in Tesco, on Croxted Road, in front a two young men who sounded like a pair of complete arses. One of them clearly wanted everyone in the queue to hear what he was talking about: "When I was talking to Tony Blair yesterday, I was struck by the statesman that he is. He did not lie about Iraq I am sure, he was trying to be paternal, to protect us from the truth with a little harmless spin". OHMYGOD (I almost inhaled my teeth). I would like to say that I think this young man was joking, I do not. Huguenot would have known what to say...

Apparently you rinse rice properly four times, then for every cup of rice, boil it in a cup and a half of water. When the rice comes to the boil, the water should be level with the rice and you remove it from the heat and leave the lid on, until the rice is soft and the water is all evaporated. I learned this from a lovely Indian friend when I was living in halls as a student. I havent cooked myself for years (clearly), so I don't know if it still works...;-)

Indeed you could! Apparently some of the Queen Mother's own injured race horses horses eventually ended up on French tables! I remember it on the news destinctly, but I can only find this article online. I am considering becoming a vegetarian for the good of the planet.

You would never be accepted over here Mick Mack, you are NOCD! Some last thoughts before I head off to Westfield: I have no enormous problem with any priest or monk who (for example) pops his leg in a wood chipper or hacks off a finger, and claims that he has acquired a saintly and miraculous injury in order to increase the popularity of the church. I once met a lovely woman who falsely claimed that there was research based evidence that proved teenagers who were breastfed did not develop acne ? when I challenged her on it, she said that it did not matter that it was a lie, if it meant more women breastfed, then it was a good lie! At the time, she gave me a big headache, but I didn?t think it was worth a row. I have no problem with a monk who has a legion of lovers, a school full of children and hits the pillow every night with the bishop and a couple of assorted deacons and clergy members. Good luck to him! I have a problem with people who because of their elevated social position, consider themselves above the law as it applies to everyone else (including MPs), people who use their power to abuse vulnerable people (including paedophiles), and people who blindly elevate these charismatic characters despite the evidence in front of their faces (the German army facilitated Hitler). And no, I will never back down on this, because it is fear of upsetting the status quo that permits terrible horrors to perpetuate.

Get your facts right Mick Mack. I live on Alleyn Road, Alleyn Park is far too close to Kingsdale for my tastes and the houses are half the price as a result (stomps foot).

Mic Mac, How dare you refer to Monica's husband as "a right tosser." You have gone too far this time, I am reporting you to admin.

Am I not permitted to titter at all?

Am I the only one who remembers Jason Connery in tights? I was always so jealous of Michael Praeds long layered hair.

OHMYGOD! I just spat my coffee out on another passenger on the number 3 bus! Nevermind, it has clearly been a benefit for him to encounter warm water. Now, where did I put that soap?
