.....or film stars' bottoms? P.S. poor Gerbil, I feel quite sad now.

I think a Jolly is definitely a business trip on which no business is actually going to be done. As in "I'm off to New York with work next week - have to have a couple of meetings but it's basically a jolly". Don't really think it's a class thing, unless you are talking of the plutocracy.

I know what you mean, Brendan, Mockers is no fun at all with all that moralistic whining. What happened to the spirit of the new frontier, eh?

*very small voice* Oh.

Is he doing a poo? I recognise the expression and clenched fists from my son.

Do you want strawberries with that Ted?

No? Nothing? KK finds the way I express myself not to her taste. Ironic.

What are the benefits of charitable status? Is it tax breaks?

?

Oh thanks Charlie - I like the boob tube too. Not sure about the guy with the freakily long legs in the mustard trousers, mind you.

Ooh, ooh, I know this one! "Is it a monster - is it a monster" - The Automatic. My turn "So Gimme Gimme Gimme Fried Chicken"

Rumbled. Utterly, utterly busted. What I meant was, it doesn't go by my house. I have, however, got that bus many times.

Dear Ted, how gallant you are. Doesn't sound as though you had to drag those words past the barrier of your teeth at all. I tease, of course. But come to think of it, I had to defend my big bruv! Love Princess A.

Faith, cannon to left of me, cannon to right of me - volleyed and thundered - But I will stay the course. Ted, you are quite right, that was an ugly business, but that's what happens when you forbid a young man from marrying the woman he wants to marry and make him Do His Duty To The Succession. Seems to me there were an awful lot of wrongs in the royal marriage, and few rights. I must admit I was thinking of the - er - less personal professional side: the farming, the Prince's Trust. Tony, yes Simon thingy is very funny too, but not hard to distinguish from Phil Jupitus. And Rosie - well, I can quite imagine him behaving like a cockadoodledoo but I reckon that's true of most funny people, they seem to be a tortured breed. Look at poor Peter Sellers (although Phil is unwarrantedly complimented by being in the same sentence as him). Your point on upsucking absolutely stands - sucking up to anyone more famous than you are is horrid. Perhaps Stephen just likes Charles? Hmmmmmm...

Ain't that the truth. Please, fellas - this was a great thread, perhaps you could take it outside? (Although I did like naked, wobbly Superman)

*shoots cuffs*

P.S. Thank goodness we're in the Lounge, as Admin would so have his/her naughty finger out by now otherwise.

Yes, exactly - you'd have loved The E of P. And how bizarre to be reassembled at the other end using wholly new molecules. I think the original gets melted down, or zapped, or whatever the scientific term is, though. The jury would have to make a call as to whether you could reasonably still be considered to be in your right mind, given that everything you were was now a pile of carbon and things somewhere else, and you now consisted of some new carbon and things.

Oh crap, that just leaves me then. Shamed of Peckham. Back on topic, I'm feeling all scared and out on a limb on my own here but I like Prince Charles (sincere and principled, if sometimes heading in weird directions) AND I think Phil Jupitus is funny on Buzzcocks. Am I to be cast into the outer darkness where there is to be whaling and gnashing of knees?

mockney piers Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- a teleport thingy. Oh, that would be so, so marvellous. However, quite apart from rendering the EDF mute* which would be a shame, I suspect that the council wouldn't build enough so that not only would you have to walk to your local TeleSpot, but queue there for ages for your turn, and then walk from the other end TeleSpot to your office. Would it really save time? Plus of course twits like me would press the wrong button when hungover and end up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the night. For up-to-date research on how real teleportation really, truly is, lobby Southwark Playhouse to bring back The Ethics of Progress *actually no - there's still class, isn't there? Sigh...

Wasn't comparing it with driving, Mockers, as you say that's worse. I just think that 2 such metropoli as Peckham and Greenwich ought to be linked by at least one direct means of public transport - preferably some sort of funky suspended monorail thingy, for fun.

Nice response, LYM - as the daughter of a Yorkshireman I know where you're coming from. However, try the queue for the buses at London Bridge if you're feeling homesick. Well over 100 people at any one time, and really quite orderly. No-one will talk to you, mind, that's for mad out-of-towners.

I feel I'm being petty now but Moos Mansions - PR 10 mins (no wait for train because am clever and can read timetable. Assuming no mishaps) PR - LB 10 mins Wait at LB. Possibly have to get buggy up stairs, work out new platform etc. Up to 10 mins LB - GW 10 mins Realistically a 40 minute journey with the palaver of a change involved. I think that's a pain, given how close Greenwich is. Alternative is a bus, although you also have to change but at least you don't have to find your way at LB.

Beazo, why are all your questions about what mothers buy? Anyway, if you can provide more information about what our answers will be going towards, I would be willing to help. I work full time and am a mother. Am I busy? Well, I'm posting on the EDF...

....yes but he also says if you read them all the time that's a bad thing. :-$
