Moos

I still haven't got over a traumatic event in series 1, so goodness knows what horror awaits. Really liking series 3 - slower and more tightly plotted than series 2 so far, but lots of good storylines warming up nicely. Thank you for your support, Keef - I'm just taking this one day at a time. *Hi everyone - my name is Moos and I'm a Wireholic. It's been 2 months since I read my last spoiler*

Yeah, but the kite-surfing on the bonnet of a snowmobile was, frankly, wank. Poor CGI and just that little bit too far on the wrong side of ridiculous. And the dialogue between Halle and Pierce in their opening scene was so embarrassing it made me want to tear my own teeth out.

Arf. She said shrilly.

Argh... it's only existed for less than an hour and I'm already struggling not to click. Don't click. Don't click. No clicking. No, not even just a peek. Yes it will spoil it. Yes, even just a quick look. Stop it, Moos. Go and read What's On, or something.

Not strictly a brownie, but Locale does a warm, melty-on-the-inside chocolate pudding which they serve with chilled Mascarpone. Oh my God, I've come over all Pavlov just thinking about it.

Here's their thread from What's On, Toni.

I know, funny innit. But can hit high C on a good day, and in fact the lower end of my range is the weak one.

Looking forward to seeing The Norman Conquests in December... I'll report back. Has had good reviews.

Chico who ran off with a German Banker to Switzerland The home of the cuckoo clock? Clearly it was Chico Time.

Sorry, sop1. As you probably know, genuine altos (ie not sopranos who are just too lazy to train to a proper range) are almost as rare as tenors. Sops are two a penny.

Choir practice starts tonight, so I'm going to be humming under my breath until Sunday 30th.

Pah

I humbly withdraw my objection - I thought the postcode was SE15.

Imagine if AD and AFN were to have a child.

How is the Hoopers in Camberwell? It has an SE15 postcode, which for me makes it Peckham, and it's about 5 minutes from East Dulwich train station.

Sean, not sure I can agree with your post when you say 'Essentially, left to the proper channels, the grown ups involved would have apologised, shaken hands and moved on' Once things started to get out of hand - and yes they certainly did - Andrew Sachs backed off and said - OK, enough, I've had my apologies. By that point I think anyone with any taste was feeling pretty nauseated by the whole thing. But in the early stages - back when Andrew Sachs (or at least his agent on his behalf) was still hopping mad - the first apologies were insincere and openly mocking. "Sorry. But it's still funny" smirked Brand. I really can't believe that the much humber, more personal, more straight-faced apologies that did eventually arrive were anything other than a response to being in serious trouble. Your other points are that the Mail is scuzzy and inconsistent (I can't disagree) and that you don't like Clarkson. But it doesn't detract from the point that Quids was actually making, which was focused solely on the behaviour of the protagonists.

Gok Wan says girlfriend far too much

Apparently, and therefore there's no need to hold back on any interesting plot twists or general content. Lucky we don't like surprises, hey Bon3yard? (6)

Dear Lord Please oh please give us some dam' budget next year. Hope that's OK. Love GigGirl P.S. I have been a reasonably good girl this year, all things considered, please mention this to Santa if you see him.

Hate to be pernickety, gg, but surely a Birkin is a Handbag. Said on one knee with head reverentially bowed.

Hi Blinkeyblonck Nice name! On music - there's a choir recently started up - have a look in What's on for rehearsals and a contact person. Also in What's on you'll find from time to time OpenMic sessions, folk music organised by Sue, and in the Lounge various threads on where to get tickets for gigs, usually from giggirl. On craft, there's a little craft shop in the parade of shops on East Dulwich Road - maybe they'll have 'what's on' type posters or ideas for local clubs? I'm sure there's plenty you can get involved with, hope you are liking ED so far - enjoy discovering your new area!

Did everyone see the race-reversed poster of McCain and Obama that Metro reproduced this morning? The poster campaign was an interesting idea in the image obsessed world of marketing. Here's a big and arresting picture of our candidates that focuses on their race. And here's a small caption reminding us not to think about race too much. And do NOT think about a blue elephant. On a more petty point, I was fascinated by the result. McCain looked just like himself, but Obama looked really different, and suddenly kind of 'Troy McClure'.
