That was a long time before he started harassing me. So you are saying that anyone who flirts is asking to be harassed and stalked are you? Nice! Keep up sweetie, drifting to sleep with your milky drink are you?

Maybe they have been worked really hard by these schools, but they will be expected to work really hard by the universities too, the children have not chosen their parents or their schools. There is no way that the government should encourage bias against top performing independent schools in favour of kids from The Oratory for example, as those children have parents and a school that have worked them just as hard. In fact, their parents have given up their weekends up to ensure they are singing in church each Sunday and doing "good works" for the church to pay for their school places. Just because a child has had supportive or pushy parents, it is not the child's choice. State funding of religious schools should stop. These schools are independent in the same way as fee paying schools. This is far too serious for me, I am off to find the cork screw...

I must admit that I have been very impressed by Gordon and his big cardi and plaid bedroom slippers for rather a time. I did not like smarmy Blair and can't abide Cameron, but I will not vote labour again. The thought of their scheming, social engineering with the universities just turns my stomach. It is all very well saying "of course a child going to a top performing independent school gets all a *s, but those kids have worked hard to be selected by those schools and work very hard for the grades they achieve. They should not be disadvantaged when it comes to university places. An equal playing field is an equal playing field. Taking away childcare vouchers from working families, struggling to pay the mortgage and to hold on to their jobs is insane. This government needs to take a long break. Where is Charles Kennedy when we need him? David Cameron is a big "I am" with a slight wheeze and a note for matron to excuse him from games. What can he offer anyone in this country? He has no credibility at all. He is "photo opportunity man" sitting on the tube, surrounded by photographers, cycling on his bike and followed by a gang of minders in a 4x4.

You clearly have no comprehension of the types of things BBW was saying or doing on this forum. Yes he was funny on occasion and could be charming, but he did not learn from his mistakes and he could be incredibly threatening and graphic with it. I did not take kindly at all to being told when I had been in Dulwich Park with my children, because he recognised them from some photos off my blog, or being told by him that he had worked out who my husband was or had a photo of me he had tracked down on flickr from my husbands photo stream (it wasn't us thank God). BBW had no boundaries and had no idea of socially acceptable behaviour. I have been warned several times by admin, and I believe that I have subsequently tried to behave myself appropriately. BBW was an immature boy who behaved in a chaotic and threatening, stalkerish manner. He spoiled the culture on this forum, and I am relieved that he is gone.

I adore self gifting, but feel incredibly guilty if I splash out on myself in the current climate (sniff). Therefor, I shall purchase my man some fabulous lingerie for Christmas. I shall look stunning and he will enjoy his gift!

OHMYGOD! She feels trapped and envies your independence! And her man fancies you... You met him first, didn't you? She is deliberately trying to hurt you.

OH.MY.GOD! I find an unreserved apology, so incredibly manly... Prrr

Rosie darling, this girl is sooo not your friend (stomps foot)! The advice given on here is incredibly reassuring. Aren't we such a balanced bunch! God I adore Keef... I am dying to know what her issue is with you! Are you far more attractive than she? Do you earn more than she? Your man has a far better job than her advertisement on Match.com. She is punishing you for something... SHAME ON HER! Email her, tell her that you are sure there has been some mis-understanding, you really value her friendship (AD NAUSEUM) etc., tell her about the enquiry you made, then trample her rantionale for her last email into the dust. Lets do lunch at Petrus darling. She is sooo not worth it! God I adore taking charge of the situation when a bully is trying to get the upper hand!

I completely agree with Piers (bats eyelashes).

HOW VERY DARE YOU! I see myself as more of an upmarked version of Sophie Ellis-Bexter, with the looks of a young Kristen Scott Thomas. Britney is not for everyone...

Oh Woof dear heart, I think you have over-shared...

Well I have been wafting about the village looking stunning - clearly! But I have been feeling rather glum without all of my special little eco-trendy, Croc wearing, Guardian reading chums from ED.

*Collapses through the door* WELCOME BACKS SWEETIES!

Oh ????! Thank God you are here *air-kisses ???? on each cheek*! How I have missed you all.

Vincent darling, You spend far too much time in Peckham and Nunhead dear heart. My darling man has NEVER had a mortgage. We are simply loaded (sigh)!

Oh RosieH dear, *Bob* is pre-menstrual. Clearly!

OHMYGOD! Daizie dear heart, you don't live in SE21 do you (typed with one hand, fast dialing Banhams with the other)? I think we have a pair of antique Purdey's in the attick. It is high time that we campaigned to make Dulwich a gated community. Really now, and lets rid ourselves of the Iceland on Lordship Lane and in the name of God, lets get ourselves a Waitrose? Keef, we can build a ten foot wall around your home as you are Dulwich at heart. I hear that the water level is set to rise soon, and all of Lambeth and Peckham will be submerged...

I for one, adore shiny tat. Although matt tat appears to be the current surface of choice on Alleyn Road. I had my marble kitchen surfaces ripped out and replaced with poured concrete years ago (sigh)! Detail is everything darling, but perhaps when I am ready to throw away my current rug I shall send you a PM (bats eyelashes)?

Oh *Bob* dear, how disappointing you are! You sound dreadfully middle aged, and not edgy or "down with the kids" at all! Why just Saturday last I bought myself a funky Union Jack printed "Scottie Dog" type door stop from MooToo, and I feel so incredibly uplifted and trendy each time I stumble over it and almost poke my eye out on my Philippe Stark juicer! As I glance around my capacious, luxurious home, I see all manner of funky fabulousness from Maggie's super shop, Marimekko expresso cups, Alessi Nespresso machine, Designers Guild soft furnishings and general super trendyness - all serving to reaffirm my fashion forward, design led superiority! You should go and buy your rug from a discount emporium in Peckham sweetie, clearly you are simply purchasing a rug in an effort to obscure the view of your floor (OHMYGOD!).

Once in ten years for a kettle is not bad.

You should go and talk to Maggie in MooToo. She knows everything about everything. A rug is such a huge decision and should never be chosen without contemplation and the advice of a super interior designer.

I am going to PM admin. Why can't any of you stay on topic (stomps foot)? David Cameron's wife should have perfect teeth, you know that they cost her daddy a fortune... Veneers that obvious just look cheap in my opinion. As for the rave reviews about her wardrobe, where are the journalists coming from with such lies? You could purchase Samantha Cameron's entire wardrobe for less than ?100 in a tiny branch of M&S that sold mostly food - like Brixton. She dresses like Wendy Craig in Butterflies - very middle class 1980's and not in a trendy way. Yes she has the whole glossy, rich girl hair thing (don't we all - smirk!), but it looks lank and could do with a good cut. I should imagine that she wears enormous pants and bras with huge straps too, and Opium perfume. If we must have a complete arse for our next prime minister, he could at least provide us with a style icon for a wife, although I should say that we must be grateful that we will not be forced to endure a complete throllop, like some of our neigbours...(frowns through plantation shutters towards France)

Go into MooToo on Lordship Lane and ask for Maggie. She will give you the contact details of their repairs people. I bought my Dualit kettle from Maggie when she owned MadCow on Park Hall Road about ten years ago, and she subsequently organised for it to be fixed when it broke. Maggie is the oracle when it comes to this type of thing.

OHMYGOD Jeremy! You are so right...
