when does it all happen? And when will you be back to tell us? (naturally, best of luck and all that!)

Nice one DiscoBoy I'm not available to help but will certainly investigate the link - best of luck. And welcome t'forum lad

Is this one different in that we are all having a sit down meal? or is it the usual turn-up-around-8 and start milling around with several drinks? - I'm aiming for 8ish

I havent got anyone down as any age. . . Just actors that remind me, now or in the past, via some characteristic. . at least i get the sex right. . . Loz has of down as a 50 something american woman

oops - another what-i-thought-was-a-compliment goes awry

indeed it is - he's cool! Which reminds me: AnnasField - Julia Swahala

That's th eone Citizen - but that's a TERRIBLE picture I was thinking of him more around the time of Near Dark/Aliens....

some more nominations Brendan - Brendan Fraser CitizenEd - Lance Henriksen Georgia - Laura Laverne LostThe Plot - Jack Coleman - HRG from Heroes Lozzyloz - Antonio Banderas Peckhamgatecrasher - Jessica Lange Slosh - Keef

No matter how much I add my pessimism to what we are being told about the economy, reality STILL exceeds even my pessimistic view ANother night in then...

Be as cuel as you like Jah - Lozzyloz has me down as Hilary Clinton FFS!

Edward Woodwarde?? lol

oops Keef - didn't mean to offend (it was the music link wot swung it for me) This kind of excecise is always going to risk this though isn't it? I shan't say anything about Sean Hughes ;-)

Mockney Piers - David Schwimmer CWALD - Kathy Burke Keef - Jack Black Bagpuss - Helene Bonham-Carter (thinking about it, isn't the script the same thing as The Quiet Room)

When I say "if I lived near the Gowlett I would say I lived in ED" - it's not because of ignorance. I know it's "in" Peckham. It's not because of snobbery - I'd equally happily live in Peckham and be pround to say so. It's just.. well I know I'm an outsider and everything, but...Goose Green is RIGHT THERE.. I'm probably heading to Inside 72 after the Gowlett. Or Hisar. Or Chener Books. Or William Roase. My "loop" is effectively ED All that said I would probably use Rye station and the Peckham library so....

Remember this all used to be Surrey not that long ago - boundaries change all the time so I'm just less interested in boundaries than a lot of people (umm... that makes me sound like an estate agent - I'm not. Promise) I like Alan's defence of Camberwell (ooops - pat on the back there - sorry Al) - but then again he is delusional if he thinks that's how to spell it (ah back on track) Maurice - I don't hate anyone* - I'm just waiting for the more interesting Maurice to surface, not the one who likes to stir things JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT. More so than even Alan in his prime. * Although I do still hum "Tramp The Dirt Down" from time to time when I think of THAT woman

oooh now there's an idea.....

Far be it from me to agre with Alan (again!!) but whilst Camberwell has it's faults, calling it a dump is crass over-generalisation. But then again look who posted it... For a start Camberwell is just too big an area to be so over simplified - I would happily move to Camberwell if I was casting my net around for somewhere new to live. I certainly wouldn't rule it out. Would make the walk to work a lot quicker as well..

"Is that Dulwich Cabs??? Sorry, I need to cancel that booking I placed 10 minutes ago"

It's that reliance on postcodes that causes so much anger re: Schools Operations Council Tax etc People living on the same road are told that some are in Lambeth and some are in Wandsworth (for example) I understand that lines have to be drawn somewhere for administration purposes (until we evolve and stop caring about such things) but I would expect everyone on that road to say they all lived in the same place

and before CWALDs recent confessions wasn't there a FILTHY thread about terminology/euphimisms?

I think I agree with most of that Alan but the tool you are using to define where one lives (ie postcodes) is a very crude one Postcodes were implemented to automate mail sorting - and have since been adopted for other purposes. Which is fine as far as it goes but it doesn't tell the whole story. And it certainly doesn't constitue an area's actual boundary On the shame thing - there is sometimes a snob thing going on with some people - It's been discussed many times before. But if I lived near the Gowlett (SE5 postcode) I would say I lived in ED, not Peckham. If I lived near Bar Story I would say I lived in Peckham. Neither would bother me. Honestly. In Hoopers case, it is so borderline it doesn't warrant any further discussion really. I don't think it's a shame thing they call themselves ED - if they tell peopl eto arrive by train they are going to say get off at ED. If they say come by bus they are going to say get the bus to ED and when you pass Camberwell AND Denmark Hill Station and descend DKH into ED, get off there...

Oh Lordy - I had forgotten about that whole episode Keef. Emm... well... *coughs* what other kind of ranch could it be?

I'm having THAT as the title for my Christmas CD compilation - only, how do I give Alan a copy? I would have left it in "the usual place" on the 40 bus, but I'm now a 63 man....

Annasfield The TV pundits are pretty poor anyway but the media I read (and then leave on the seat, yes I know, thanks Alan Dale) is pretty positive about Liverpool and Rafa as well. Any criticism of Liverpool I read tends to be the same ones I hear from Liverpool fans anyway "Why did give up with 20 mins to go?" "Why did he choose that formation for that game?" etc etc I cheered you on last night and I'll cheer you on at the weekend!

I've been to Wanstead a couple of times - lived near Ilford for 4 years and more recently had a friend who lived there By day it's reasonably "nice" and that but - and I don't want to just characterise it as an Essex thing, that would be stereotyping - but if people find LL lairy on a Sat night then they have seen nothing. The bars in the evening are like one big stag/hen do Oh - AND the bars I've been do have loo attendants - the ones with aftershave and a pound coin tip jar. In Wanstead????!!!
