Well said IP. One does need a cast-iron stomach, what with generously-scented fellow passengers and the lurching, but for me the journey is 20 precious minutes before work and 20 after when I can read my book and be all alone. (in a crowd)

"Davina Shoes - Wonderfully Sparkly"

"75% of Forumites Literate"

Quite enough, Huguenot. And the fact of their being an immigrant family is equally irrelevant: they are legitimately in the UK and legitimately claiming housing.

This reads as oddly familiar. Strange.

AllForNun, do you really need reminding to bring your testicles when you go out?

Ooh, can't wait. Your disingenuousness is really rather sweet. 30-odd posts on this thread, and 4 of them from you - but everyone else has too much time on their hands.

you're very peppery today.

Things that can go wrong with steak: The steak itself - a good piece? or a watery, slightly too red to be true thing ain a blue plastic tray? Pan not hot enough Too much salt seasoning before frying You forgot 'cook pissed' - could this be the issue here?

Do you mean speed tables?

PGC, I haven't a clue what's going. I wish the thread actually were about boobs, at least I'd understand it then. An Involuntary Luddite.

I feel a little unkind saying this to Mockers as I know he pretty much defines Good Egg, but did you really mean to put women's rights and fluffy in the same sentence?

The other cat loves me, duck thief.

Judging from the responses to this thread, MM, only Bellenden Belle and I qualify for the teaching and although I think your offer is very kind, I need curing of my phobia before I'd benefit from the lessons!

Does anyone else long to correct the signs outside John Alan's? 'Peonies' seems to be a particular challenge. A Pendant

Believing that no-one loves you, and that you don't deserve to be loved.

HB, you are my favourite flavour of pencil. What did GigGirl have to imaginarily do to get the imaginary part? Or are you leaving that to..

Some of them need a better understanding of the word 'wash'.

For the record, I've never met Giggirl and have no idea who she is.

I have, I sympathise! Had a very funny encounter on a bus once on the way back from a scan at King's. Unsurprisingly, there was another pregnant woman who got on at the King's stop. Now I was 6 months along or so, but she was super-pregnant - 10 days overdue as it turned out and looking like a balloon on legs as you do at that stage. No-one stood up for her, so I asked someone to move for her, which they did. When a seat finally became free I did sit down, and the woman in the seat behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said 'I'd have stood up for you, but I've got a bad back'. Then the woman next to me then said 'I'd have stood up for you, but I've got all these bags'. Then the woman in front said 'I'd have stood up, but I can't get out of my seat' and glared at the woman (whom I think didn't speak English) next to her! By this time I was really embarrassed, especially as I didn't really need a seat that day for a short journey and was feelign fine. But afterwards I laughed my socks off.

I like London buses too (and not just in East Dulwich, hint hint) - so much better than going - shudder - underground. The views are much more interesting than on the trains. If you just get up a fraction earlier, you can get a seat and it's tickety-boo. Bike? No way.

Goodness me, what a lot of threatened self-harm on the Forum today. Stop it you lot. I don't think anyone was querying why we should go to the Hoopers, were they? It's just that it's a bit pretentious to say you're in ED* when you're in Camberwell or Peckham. *and before I was aware of the Forum, I must admit I thought ED was just a quite nice inexpensive suburb. Now of course I have been educated and know it's an overpriced Nirvana. Edited to put the 'a' in educated.....

Well, I was going just on postcode. Although Copleston Road (I always think Copleston Copleston Copleston pie.. not quite right I know but can't help it) is just over the tracks and that's Peckham. And East Dulwich station is just a hop, skip and a jump away! However, I'm happy to be corrected.

Definitely Camberwell, but a nice downhill swerving stagger to Mooston. Looking forward to it.
