  1. Oxfam Bromley South. A knackered bible ?150 Pair of boots ?49.99 Beatles album ?99.99 :-S
  2. I love those calls. Mind, I don't think they enjoy them quite as much as I do. Specially when I ask to pay by oyster card. Or when I say "Oh its crashed again, hold on whilst I reboot" Or "I'm just going to eat my dinner whilst i speak to you" then stuff a handful of Doritoz in my gob. "OK-AY leps gep to ip" as I spit spicy crumbs everywhere. NETTE(tu)

Can you smoke that ? Anyway pauper *Bob* scared him off. He offered to cook him kippers in the trouser-press that he keeps next to the kettle in his "sit" But to no avail. Sensei blanked him ever since, preferring to "smoke his own" in the exhaust pipe of his Custom Buell. :-S
  4. Where's "there" then?
  5. I'm still a confirmed MeatHead However, I didn't eat meat for about 3 years and still love this place. We go once a month or so for a Veg out & my kids love it too. Admittedly it is a fast food cafe, so not much in the way of a Dinning experience. But for a saturday people watching session, it's perfect. NETTE:)
  6. Has the smell of charity shops changed. Less mothball, more CK1/pot pourri/clothes steamer ?
  7. At 46:33 Man on sitting Bog says: "Bluudy'ell" and starts to pull up trousers (doesn't wipe bottom) Nice! :-S
  8. And a seemingly endless supply of T.M Lewin shirts. Which I do like. :)
  9. Now you've just got to love this: One of the few "Mexican & Italian" restaurants in Sheffield to be awarded "5 STARS" by Sheffield City Council on the "food hygiene ratings" website :-S
  10. Or this ......
  11. Are you taking a camera ?
  12. Was there always a brothel on Bawdale Road? NETTE:-S
  13. OMG David 'the dickhead' Haye and that other muppet "chip on y'shoulder Chisora" have managed to take the *ahem* sport of boxing to new subterranean depths. If the relevant boxing boards don't take hard measures with a total ban on the two, then boxing is finished in this country. Jezus H I'm mortally embarrassed quite frankly. And there was me thinking; is there a bigger c-nut than John Terry in sport. Obviously y-es (and there's two of them) NETTE:-S
  14. What fun, it's almost as fun as "google wacking" I like the items also viewed. Fot instance, the 'Paul Ross canvas' item was along side a Nazi Party Flag & a pig mask. Which was nice. NETTE:-S
  15. Oh maxxi Where did you find that, it's 'brill' Did you know a what Sheppey is ? A measure of distance equal to about 7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque. The Sheppey is the creation of Douglas Adams and John Lloyd, included in The Meaning of Liff, their dictionary of putative meanings for words that are actually just place names.[6] It is named after the Isle of Sheppey in the UK.
  16. Sheeeze.... ( & am I glad i'm self employed ) Anyway, how old are you ( ish ) Nette:-S
  17. Squirrel Nutkin plans his escape from East Dulwich. http://houseoffraser.scene7.com/is/image/HOF/I_145397142_50_20101012?fmt=jpg&layer=0&size=288,384&wid=288&hei=384&layer=1&src=I_145397142_50_20101012&size=288,384&qlt=65&wid=288&hei=384&op_usm=1,1,0,0http://www.farmtoysonline.co.uk/images/products/standard/1158.jpg"Once I get past 'Franklins' I should be fine"
  18. It's sitting there laughing at you David, with a silly HP grin all over its plasticy ergonomic face. http://meanstock.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/office-space-employees-smashing-printer.jpg So go teach it a lesson. :-S

NETTE:-$
  20. Yeah We love "Nige" Lentils are lovely with sausage, but a bit gassy. I mean imagine some time after supper & you're in your favourite 'hot-yoga' position "Pffft-ttt-tttahhhh" :-$ No very romantic, eh Mr Ben. Give the poor gal a chance.

  22. Sadly it suffers from a classic design flaw. Not as a house but as a venue, so it feels more like it's suited to functions than for drinking or dining. The bar & restaurant spaces are carved up by a central stair space (if my memory serves me right) So it feels bereft of intimacy. Don't get me wrong; it's impressive but that "Oooo" factor soon wore off and I felt slightly trapped by it's isolation when I was last there. ( I do imagine myself doing a 'Laura Ashley' down that stair case ) Also the pitch doesn't feel quite right, Stevo cites the "bland Euro food" but I think they miss widely on the other fronts, like the local demography. Sure Issolah's Kennsington Gloster Road restaurant does well, but who's it serving, not locals I think. It's Hotel Bland-o-rama up there and tourists galore. Dulwich central it ain't. Actually thinking about it more; it feels like a Euro-Hotel but without the rooms. And it's got a menu to match. There is not one local or seasonal ingredient on there. Nothing, nitto and we're on the border of "The Garden of England". Kent alone is bursting with amazing food producers. Saltmarsh lamb from the Isle of Sheepy. Goats cheese from near Leeds castle. Apples from Brogdale, and the most superb fish & Oysters from Whitstable. We've also got some top notch bakers in this area, but nothing, not a bun to be seen that menu. In short, it's frikkin laudable. Lastly, the website is duuuuull as dishwater & I glazed over in seconds.(even the events look slightly 'pampas grassy' odd) Still, it looks pretty on the outside and that counts for something. NETTE:-S
  23. Nice And soon to be seen strutting around Bellenden Road/village ? http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0118/1012/products/losttype_front.png?5223 :-$
