I thought the story sounded a bit dodgy on first recount, and all the dodgier in the second post - sounds like some people who'd been asked to drink up at closing time taking offence at being hurried along.

you don't actually live here though do you lenk?

*visions of THAT sketch from the Fast Show*

Anna, I completely agree with most of what you say. But Quids' point was to ask why someone who hates children would come on an SE22 forum and complain about children. They cannot be a surprise encounter.

By the way, the robot exhibition at the Horniman at the moment is excellent!

I agree. There should also be an alcohol test. Anyone incapable of getting through a boozy evening without being polite and charming to others at all times, retaining full control of their bodily functions and making complete sense should be banned from drinking. If we're going to get all judgywudgy, why restrict it to parents? Let's ensure that everyone has to be perfect at all times, otherwise they will be taken outside and shot by the Superiority Police.

Hmm. I was about to write a similar response and add that it's a strange day when someone can't offer an opinion without having a plethora of posters jumping down their throats - but then I re-read the OP and it was written so unpleasantly and with so many tiresome hackish generalisations that I thought I'd leave 'em to it. And I was surprised to see you join in the class war, James - surely over-indulged (in the sense of undisciplined, disrespectful) children of any background are a shame?

How did yet another thread become about TLS's domestic arrangements?

No need to be woofy about the spelling, he himself spelled it 6 different ways in the 6 versions of his signature that we have on record.

Shhh! Nunhead is in Peckham.

This doesn't make sense. So Jade had more several abnormal smears, and is treated for precancerous changes of the cervix. And she's asked to come in for treatment. Regardless of the ignoring the letters bit, when she does come in for treatment with bleeding and pain she's sent home? I don't think both stories hang together.

Mmm, cherries - good call, Andystar. A good dark-red juicy big cherry is heaven.

Actually, I hate to break ranks but sometimes one's own baby is very boring. A creature that is very sweet and adorable but needs constant attention and amusing and holding while giving nothing back but cries and the odd smile if you're lucky is not very entertaining. I know this is practially heresy, but I'm saying it because when I discovered I was bored quite often looking after my small baby I felt really guilty. I've toughened up since. However, older babies and toddlers (on evidence so far) are piles of fun and never boring!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. And to think someone thought - I know, I'm good at English, I'll be a journalist. Shame and more shame to that person. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Go on then.

I think almost everyone with and without children finds endless buggy, poo, sick, minor ailments, sleep-training, schools, bad behaviour etc. etc. talk incredibly boring. Unfortunately, it's kind of necessary to talk about kids if they're part of your life, in order to work out how to solve the various challenges that they bring. Best thing is to avoid talking about it in front of non-buggy poo etc. people. I think it's quite rude to harp on about your interests if you know the person you're talking to doesn't share them. However, like *Bob*, I'm not sure that people talk about baby issues on the forum much outside dedicated threads on the family room, so are you making a wider point?

*sighs* *hands Sherwick a bandage and a sticky plaster* Don't say I didn't warn you. Something about the hilliness of the southern end.

I have been beaten up by several forumites on this point, and can confirm through my broken teeth and split lip that the northern end is the bottom. Can also confirm that I'm very sorry and won't do it again.

I have (temporarily) and I felt awful. However, that may have been related to being pregnant at the same time.

Anyway, prostitution is well known for being the oldest profession.

You could read it that way.

Sunshine brings out the silly bugger latent in all of us.

I must admit, it took me a over year of living near here to go in as I thought it was a comic book shop. But it is indeed a proper bookshop, and I think very good.
