Do the majority of Catholics agree with what the pope is saying? Does anyone know any Catholics who would openly disagree with the pope's views, or who take a tolerant line?

Possibly one of the DIY shops will sell timer switches, or the electrical shop near the Plough. And Argos on Rye Lane will definitely have something along these lines.

I reckon it must help. If you were a burglar, would you try the house with lights on, or the one which was totally dark? Although I wouldn't be surprised if there were "professional" burglars around, who kept track of these things...

Brendan - read the rules, then edit your post. Ta!

I'm in work... and working over xmas too.

No, no Keef, you don't understand. Instead of stating that you live in Sydenham, you should be telling people that you live on the borders of Dulwich, and that the postcodes are wrong. You really haven't got the hang of this, have you?

AfN, I didn't actually think it *was* Konditor & Cook... I was just trying to explain that I was expceting very nice cakes, given some of the rave reviews on this forum. And the cakes I bought were pretty bog-standard. It's just my opinion, I'm glad others like it... each to their own and all that. I have not been to the delightful chemists yet, but I may check it out this weekend. If you see someone in there looking rather confused and squinting a lot (carrying a whole dolphin in an FC Soper bag), please be kind enough to direct them towards the little boxes of coloured macaroon things.

He only weighed in at something like 216 for the Barrett fight. Given that he would have always been weight drained for his cruiserweight weigh-ins, I don't think he's put on much extra muscle yet. He may well put on an extra 15 lbs or so before he fights Klitschko though.

charliecharlie - I think you're catching on. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - Elton John

Brendan, I think you've made a friend for life there...

Seriously? I bought a selection of cakes there the other week (in need of comfort food), and they all seemed fairly standard to me. I was hoping for Konditor & Cook, and I got Greggs.

Go on, get on with it. Time for all these women complaining about the lack of men to put their money where their mouth is.

kford - maybe... but even if you don't like standard the tex-mex fare you get over here, it can nevertheless vary greatly in quality.

Yep, the food wasn't great, was it? But the beer was cheap, which is always a bonus. I'm hoping the food will improve a bit, but a part of me misses the old ridiculous shop front. With "El Paso" spelled "El Passo".

What now? Is the original poster going to attempt to pull one of these single ladies?

Followed by Harry Potter and the Shower of Gold.

I used to live about 10 metres from the Castle. There has been trouble there, but it's not like it kicks off every day. I think in 5 years, I saw 2 big fights spill out onto the road. Of course, like all pubs you get people standing outside drinking, smoking, talking on the phone... but presumably you've already figured that out, and it only affects you if you're very close! Le Moulin actually do some quite nice food... although some of the dishes are distinctly unappetising - e.g. pork in pineapple sauce, the kind of thing which may have seemed adventurous at a dinner party in 1978. But not everything is like that. Definitely worth a try. The Plough is a decent enough pub (you should have seen it a couple of years ago!) with quite passable food. And of course you have the library and plenty of local shops. Dulwich park is a short walk away, and is a very nice place to while away the summer afternoons. Dulwich Village is close too. You can walk to East Dulwich station in 15 mins if you go along the full length of Melbourne Grove.

Yeah, I'm imagining a large American "station wagon" made of wood. http://www.hudsonmotorcarco.com/images/gallery/1942-Station-Wagon.jpg

Extra points for the more bizarre denominations... Jehovahs Witness, Quaker, Plymouth Brethren, etc. Extra points if they're the same gender as you. Extra points for beard (male) or unshaven legs (female).

charliecharlie.... you can't have that. Read the rules. You could have picked, for instance... Shiny Happy People - REM

I read the same thing. Not sure if he's kept himself in shape though, he looks like a big version of Stevie Wonder these days.
