Moos

Goddammmmmmmmmmit, iPad stutter

I never changed my name! Only my address, and gained a few wrinkles and a prediction for gins and tonic.

Never mind folks, Mr Moos got fed up with my shilly-shallying and has booked us in to a short let very close to home for the week before Christmas, so now it's official and I'm very excited. Lock up your babysitters, we're back for one week only! When's forum drinks? 1) Watching out 2) no crying 3) no pouting 4) etc etc ...Are Comiiiiiiing To Toooooown. P.S. dear El Pibe, please stay just a bit longer.

Ok. Were you the woman I saw picking flowers in the park yesterday?

Just gone and read the thread, panting with anticipation. Eastenders it weren't. Come on folks, we need a good old-fashioned barney!

*scrapes toe on ground* So, er, you know - anyone fancy giving me their house for a week in December? Anyone? Just askin'* *with apologies to StraferJack.

Aw, I'm all homesick!

Hoochie and Numbers! Aw, thanks guys. Nette, this year I have been relegated to my proper role of veggie chopper and bread sauce maker. The Year Of The Aberration, when Moos served The Wrong Meat, is not spoken of among the family: if anyone wishes to discuss the matter a simple thinning of the lips accompanied by a sideways glance suffices.

There's one in Singapore. Fecking expensive.

Hey everyone Clan Moos is back in town for one week only in mid December. Hopefully there will be some forum-relaed jollity we can gate-crashed, armed with sprigs of holly and lashings of goodwill. Also, does anyone know anyone local who might be away and would like a family to housesit? We are clean, like pets and house plants, are generally good eggs and can provide references from local folk, since we're Peckham Ryers (quondam et futurus).

You stole those from me! Admin!!

Why have you posted this twice?

Depends what the question is. OP was after bar, fishmonger, baker etc. etc. Gentrification would appear to be the answer if that is what you would like near your house. If the question is will my kids be able to afford to buy here, it probably is not.

Dear God, turn your back for a second and your tropics are being discussed. I thought better of you, EP. Ted, just finished a bottle of Gruener Veltliner and opened the next. There'll be trouble when I'm found out but it's worth it, the dry flavoursome little Austrian minx. The Amaretti are a goner.

Laughter! We were tempted by a gorgeous house on Wolfington Road, but plumped for Peckham in the end. Good decision. But I think the question the OP was asking was not what am I missing about how shit SNorward is, but why hasn't it gentrified, and why do we think it can't? Apart from the minor handicap of Quids on a bender, that is..

Mmm, love cold dry sherry. InspirEd by this thread, I have just searched the remotest corners of the shit snack food cupboard. Hallelujah - a box of Ameretti. *settles down in front of TV, Himself is out, box won't see another dawn*

We bought online, very easy to fix on.

Nothing at all wrong with being frugal, there is a particular slightly miserable pleasure in re-using ribbon and adding water to the last of the washing-up liquid. It's the blimmin obvious being offered as wonderful advice that makes me snigger.

Two fantastic tips offered on the radio recently:- - Soap wears away 50% faster in the wet, don't leave your cake of soap in a wet dish. - If you buy a coffee or drink every morning this costs money, try NOT having it Brilliant. Thus are recession woes avoided.

I'm reading a book by the fabled Victoria Glendinning. Is it me, or is her writing a bit turgid and sometimes incomprehensible?

You can report it and ask for it to be removed, or you can edit it and save the changes to leave it blank.
