Huggers

I'm going to give up the internet. I think.

peckham rye has got hilly bits in the middle. Lots of sledgers on it this morn.

Just now, Ive just passed some shouty parents telling their toddler not to touch or pick up the snow, and then when he fell into it (probably on purpose)they were all cross. Seems there's more than one killjoy about.

thankyou all! and Clazza you're a darling with a pm on its way to you.

We are all but phantasmal manifestations electrically impulsing through my sleeping dog's quivering dream. Accept that and you will all be happy.

Oh Sean I havent got series 2 yet, and yes those last episodes were sweat drippingly emotional. We've got to finish watching 3 lovefilms dvds before we can join the queue for series 2. See, I can' even string a sentence together anymore. Happy to lend someone series 1, can anyone lend us series 2? Don't think we can hold...out ....much...longer. pleeeease. We're going through terrible cold nut roast.

I had flickering last week and thought maybe we needed rewiring. Even the fairy lights flickered.

DKH Sainsbury's is introducing 16 automated tills very soon so protest if you feel it will mean job losses and a big pain in the a**e.

Microbite, have you tried the Quakers? Porridge and Peace.

I was watching Antonioni's 1966 film 'Blow Up' on telly the other night. The early scene where David Hemmings is coming out of the doss house -where he has been taking trendy photos of the poor and desperate for a coffee table book -is our very own 'Spike' in Consort Road, under the Peckham railway arches, which was originally a workhouse I believe. What other films, unlikely or likely, have forumites discovered bits of East Dulwich and it's borders in?

Ive now forensically examined my own puppet of Sooty and he is fact yellow with black ears. Maybe Prince Charles was calling his friend this name after the puppet. Maybe because he can't function without a man's hand up his bottom. Which would make him homophobic. Edited to try and make grammatical sense.

There's a new facebook group dedicated to turning Woolworths stores into theatres.

I got series One of The Wire from Father Christmas and have just started watching it at the rate of two episodes a night. Four to go. I am loving the way my perception of character is constantly changing. Would love to take someone up on their offer of a loan of series two in the next week or two.......

The Gowlett was very good on Christmas noon, plenty of staff, great atmosphere, marvelous landlord...plus 'sleigh bells' festive ale creaming from the taps.

He's got a great myspace page too.

well the dulwich ukulele club are doing their crimbo thing there too that night so it probably is.

Huggers- the continental pronunciation of my welsh surname.

Ive said this before on this thread re dog poo in Goose Green-the dogs in the people only area are usually the scary dogs/akitos/staffies with the scary owners and the muzzles-but who is going to tackle them? the 'twilight barking' brigade who have regularly exercised dogs at around 5.30 in the evening on Goose Green have begun to decamp to Peckham Rye to get away from them.

Somebody opened a storecard in my name and spent a thousand pounds on underwear in about five minutes. They had merely looked up my name on the electoral roll to match it up with something they had stolen from someone else in the same surname and assigned my address etc in their application form. The first I knew about it was when threatening bills and letters arrived at a subsequent address I had moved to. First, I established with the store (army and navy)that my date of birth and that given by the card user were different to build up a clear picture that it wasnt me. Then I got them to put it in writing that it wasnt me and to write a letter that i could put on file in case of any credit rating problems in the future. I think this probably was all done by the firm they used to handle their storecards and debts. I think that going straight onto the offensive, making the store take the blame for giving credit so quickly, demanding more action on their part and threatening them with legal action really helped. but...this was a few years ago and i know the picture of fraud has changed a lot. They were simpler times and in all communication I managed to talk to a human not an automized machine.

my mistake! . Good work jaytyger, keeping the pressure up.

Gurkhas now have the right to settle in the UK after the high courts verdict last week. I believe.

didn't pick up their dog poo?

junction of Adys/Crystal palace roads with East Dulwich Road. This gives you about thirty seconds to cross the road on the green man. The young and fit have to jog, God knows what the elderly and hesitant have to do. And this is a crossing close to a school used by schoolchildren. Years of complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Another Instance of gobsmacking lethal driving, this week in my residential street, unlocking my car on road side, I flattened against car to let another car pass, car drove more or less at me and I had to hop round the bonnet to get out of the way. I was just thinking 'that must have been in my imagination' when the car, having passed me, screeched to a halt, opened window and passenger laughed maniacally. Death Race 2000 was on the telly last week, any connection?

you mean pawly.

oh thanks, I will.
