From his moniker I guess Panda Boy is a cop - maybe even a black rat - so that is probably not an option! Think the gaps in the sleeping policemen are to allow fire appliances to sail through un-bumped - am most probably wrong though! (s I am sure someone will come steaming in to tell me....).

Hmmm......indeed. 'I have NOTHING more to say on the subject but I INSIST on having the last word'.

Always interesting to read the list of requirements by those advertising. The OP's is relatively short and standard, but you often see men being particularly exacting..... along the lines of 'slim, petite oriental with green eyes', 'voluptuous redhead at least 5' 9'' or above', 'brown eyed asian beauty, size 10 or less'. Anyhoo....... good luck OP, hope you find Mr Right :)

Periods absolutely haven't been the worst aspect of my life - they are an inconvenience, but have almost never been painful. Mind you, the Mirena Coil has all but banished my monthlies and I am certainly not complaining!

It all sounds a bit sixth form but pretty harmless. If it floats their collective boats then crack on!

Hi there, May well be worth posing the question on Virtual Norwood too, which also covers Penge: http://www.virtualnorwood.com/forum/

Not necessarily - I met my (rather fine) partner via the internet. Mind you, I am fairly sure that a 'cold call' advert on a general forum probably isn't the best way of going about things. Stranger things have happened though...

Crikey..... I am female and approaching my half century and can attest to not yet experiencing such a life changing moment, probably because I have never identified myself as a vessel for procreation! Hey ho. I do recall always finding older boys far more interesting than my peer group in my early teens, though to be honest that preference for the older man has stayed with me throughout my life. Who knows.... I may suddenly have a life changing moment and crave a toyboy in my 70s.

woodrot Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I dont think I have ever been to Penge - its > somewhere I see on road signs - is this Penge a SE > London Shangri La ? Far from it! It is down at heel and largely provides Poundland and Wilkinson type shopping experiences - with some notable exceptions - and typically old school South London pubs. It does have plenty of lovely old houses though and is great for transport links, and up until recently boasted the oldest Nick in London. Funnily enough it reminds me now a little bit of LL/ED when I lived there in the early 80s (ED was the cheapest place we could find to rent!)..... hopefully it won't travel in the same direction ;) It evidently had its glory days in past decades, and it is fondly remembered in the 'Penge Papers: Confessions of an Unwaged Metropolitan Husband' by Brian Wright.

The Pengians I know seem quite happy with it - makes a change from the Poundland etc. stores. The Penge Food Centre is rather fine too.

Salsaboy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So the next target is the gentrification of Penge. Already happening Sir. Penge has long had the wonderful Penge Food Centre and more recently has acquired a gastropub,a cupcake shop and a pretty little nursery selling cream teas as the gradual gentrification of Crystal Palace slides down the hill.

the-e-dealer Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I take your point. It is usually dog owners that > are agressive not parents. I think both can be aggressive and intolerant of others TBH, as the OP demonstrates (but maybe not in the way she intended). Re the latter - I was walking briskly towards my train the other day when a kid ran out in front of me suddenly causing me to trip and fall over in an attempt to avoid landing on the little boy. As I tumbled I instinctively yelped 'Watch out'. Cue a torrent of abuse towards me from the boy's mother as I clambered painfully to my feet for daring to say 'Watch out' to her kid - I was staggered (literally). Back to dogs running up to kids etc., if the owner can't control the dog it isn't the poor dog's fault but the owners's. I still think Etta's post is the most sensible on this thread.

She sounds like someone who was concerned about her child to me - not an aggressive cow. The kid was hardly putting itself at risk sitting in a pram.... Etta 166 had the best advice above - that way nobody is unduly worried/frightened. Simple.

Sounds like a reasonable way forward.

If anyone has a dog that has a tendency to go bowling up to toddlers/kids, and can't be controlled to stop them doing this by voice commands, then I tend to think they should be kept on leads - at least until they can be trained to stop doing this. The parent concerned won't know the dog concerned and has no idea how the dog will react to their child, no matter how much the dog owner thinks that their dog is the sweetest, gentlest mammal to walk the earth.

Well if it's survived over 2 years maybe there is a 'thirst' for ice-cream in ED's dreary months :)
