Next Wednesday everybody!!

Just think of the money you could make from the bear's bile and tiger's bones....

Oil my dibber.

To confuse things, I have an SE22 post code and live on ED Road. However, on receiving my postal vote papers, it would seem that I am in the Peckham constituency.

The taxidemist would win.

She may be twicely otherwise engaged.

I am selling and buying and it is definately on the up.

English mustard. Dont want it to be confused with the French or, God forbid, the American versions. I am not aware of Ireland having produced a great mustard. A failing on their part I feel. However, I once knew a Deidre. She had large shins and a way with adventurous ferrets.

I have Barriet the Bear for the ladies race. Shouldnt we award Barry and Barriet for the day and then perhaps replace them with a Certificate? That way Barry and Barriet will not get lost. The Clockhouse might be persuaded to keep hold of them for us.

Thanks All!

Oh yes - here they come ...

BBC reporting that UK Airports will re-open at 22.00 tonight with some restrictions.

I am pondering a move and was thinking about the estate to the left of Sainsburys. I know that some venerable Forumites live there. So, whats it like?

The problem is that planes and crew are stuck in airports all over Europe. So, even if the flight ban was lifted tonight, some flights over the next few days would be cancelled as the planes and crews for those flights would not be where they should be.

Oh yea Baby!

All change please!! I cannot now do the 28th. Can we slip this to Wednesday 5th instead? This will also allow us to have subsequent meals at the beginning of the month - when more people have money. Still at Pistachio. Ta.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Unemployments rising In the chigley end of town, And it's speading like pneumonia doesn't look like going down. There's trouble at the fire station someone's had the sack, And the lads are going to launch a scheme to get rid of Captain Flak. Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate, And arm themselves with CS gas - they're going to be out late. We've had cant conformism since 1966, And now subversions in the air in the shape of flying bricks. Chorus: Someone get a message through to Captain Snort That they better start assembling the boys from the fort. And keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight, 'Cos there's gonna be riot down in Trumpton Tonight. All this aristocracy has really got to stop' We could overthrow the surgery and kidnap Dr Mopp. The Chippy Minton Socialists could storm the market square, And make plans to assasinate our aristocratic mayor! Windy Millitant leads his Basque like corngrinders to war, With windmill sails and bombs with nails they smash the town hall door. But Snorty and the boys arrive with one big erstwhile crew, Whereupon they bring about a military coup.

You wont like it Louisa ...

Indeed there are hundreds of the noisy little buggers that fly between Goose Green, Dulwich Woods and Peckham Rye.

Updates from Thomson re flights Relatively informed debate on the impact of the volcano on aviation

That said, the Mods are very divergent. I have seen some of them and can confirm.

I have a second Barry the Bear!! Smaller than THE Barry and bright red, but clearly a close relative Like Barry - he is a porcelain Berlin Bear, was originally a corporate gift and has been gifted on to us. In this case it is from my friends in Berlin who, on hearing the fame of Barry the Bear, donated a chum for him. So, perhaps we can match Wimbledon and have Gents and Ladies Barry the Bear trophies? Or is that Barriet the Bear? I shall pass Barriet the Bear on to Help-Ma-Boab and Surf Bobby at an appropriate moment.

I hopped between Welcome to Lagos and The First Election Debate. I settled on Lagos. It was far more uplifting, gave greater hope and showed enormous humanity. The Chairman of the Lagos Dump Pickers should be PM, he got things done, was respected and listened to his constituents. Amazing.
