I've always thought I might use "Wild Is The Wind"

ha - know the feeling. I've moved into a small room with my boss so opportunites to browse/post are snatched and I often end up confusing people. Punctuation and spelling go right out the window

hello stranger -excellent "first song" story

I'm not expecting anything specific to be able to monitor the situation - some fairly important documents turned up yesterday, 2 days after posting and various tickets etc have all turned up. I am at top end of Friern Rd. But as with any flat situation it may not be the post service - or do you have post delivered direct into locked boxes?

to be sure - but it just never occured to use it!

Joe - apologies I thought I had replied to this earlier today - oops What I tend to do is to eat the premium stuff (porterhouse steaks, juicy birds) within the next few days and to freeze the hardy-perennials (mince beef/lamb, rump steak for stews) for use later in the week when I will be using lots of chilis, wine etc and the underlying flavour (if it even is affected) of the meat isn't as important

These shops always remind me of Tamsin Greig's character in Black Books. She runs a similar shop and can't figure out what one of the objects actually is... in a solitary moment she holds it aloft, examines it and proclaims "I really do sell some WANK, don't I"?

Pictures? Doh. Thats what happens when the usual paps dont show up karter

Mockney: "Rorschach" we have a winner

this pig is soooo going to be running around a lounge very soon

different type of class warrior these days Michael ;-)

How times change eh? Oh wait....

A fox hunt - splendid idea! (I'm wearing my neo-con umbrella people!) But rather than a horse can I ride a PCJ-600 bike?

That's pretty much my opinion too Monica but I think I'm in a minority - I understand why people do want the shops open later but if I work an 8am to 5pm day I can't expect the shopowners to work 7am til 9pm. Like I say I can work around it (and still not resort to - well, you know where ;-) )

"you can't show those bikini shots to Mike Popodopolus !!"

* blushes as he remembers making that gag * (seems like aaaages ago )

I think this idea has been mooted before with opinion divided - there is no doubt several shops would benefit financially - it's just a question of do they want to do the hours or does their lease prevent it? The good stuff that I can't get anywhere else (William Rose etc) I have learned to buy at the weekend in advance and freeze as necessary. Off Topic now.... am I the only person who can't read Marmora Man's sig without singing Neil Young's Transformer Man?

Ooooooh look who's back - aw'roi my lovely?

That was genuinely lovely, MP... Change of pace however as I still find this amusing The Irony Of It All

pfffft - I hear more common sense on hear than I do in many other places (along with the excretia and appendages you mention Louisa ;-) )

Can't say I saw the pig - and to my knowledge there were no fairs/fete's happening nearby where one might possibly expect a pig to escape from. William Rose is a bit far away (and doesn't handle livestock AFAIK) so I can't help - but I am intrigued

I may not qualify - but as this is the first week-day pleasant evening in a while I was half tempted to drop into the Rye on the way home anyway... That garden just says "summer" in a way that nowhere on the Strip does

that cup-lifting didn't make me as happy as RVP's goal! Buggie - I thought the same about you. If I was a gambling man I would have said "The Bishop"? Shame more people didn't make it - but on the plus side I now have enough jerk chicken to last me all week

but as a previous lurker you will be aware of how quickly things can get silly on here !

oooh - good shout Jeremy. But you're probably right as well :(
