use if with the subjunctive.

El Pibe, are you channelling TMNT? The old rat ninja teacher? I love Sydenham Woods, happy to share them with a rat or two (thousand).

Agree with snowboarder. Very manoeuvreable, easy to push with two heavy chubbers in, can steer one-handed and last forever. We're on our second, and the first one I believe is still going strong around East D, now 3rd hand and quite old. But also agree they are big and heavy, although I imagine all doubles are.

Hurray!

It's in the 'What's on' section

Now don't get me started on people who answer the phone when you're talking to them face to face! Grrrr. *Strafer and Jez in Oh me Miss, charming miss, not me Miss shocker. If my eyes were rolling any harder I'd be Eagle Eye Action Man* Still, good to see a man who loves his mother.

Jeremy, Strafer - genuinely shocked at your grumpiness. Don't call me unless it's life or death? Wow. What about a catchup, or just a chat, with someone you don't get to see often? I'm not defending 'Hi, I'm on the 6.48' calls - that's what texts are for! - but, but, but... no conversations? No how are you?

Giggling at 'Zombies goin DIE' as a comment from a satisfied customer.

Thanks Strafer and Mr Ben - hope you both get in OK. 7.15's been having trouble getting out of bed all week, can't blame it on the snow. Everything seems pretty normal, main roads and pavements clear, station platform ever so slightly gritted... though it does look as though the guy got bored after a while and just dumped the last spadeful.

Morning all Does anyone know whether the trains are running normally from ED to London Bridge?

Alas, alas. Whither Ted, wherefore hath Hon deserted us?

Why does no-one ever suggest Boldly to go? Patrick Stewart coulda pulled it off.

*crying with laughter*

Why do I never learn.

I really object to the term yummy mummy but like the name hummy mummies - at least it makes a joke out of it!

Just finished Cloud Atlas (David Mitchell) and enjoyed it tremendously. Not a perfect book but really interesting and unusual. My favourite Dickens is Our Mutual Friend.

It was a wonderful book, Peebs, you should give it a go.

Salsaboy, do you have particular socks for left foot and right foot? I know someone who has left and right socks, like shoes. I don't know how she knows. However, since it's not fair to mention that without sharing my own weirdness, I will add that I cannot bear liquid spills on tables. You'll see me surreptitiously wiping up other people's splashes on pub tables and trying to put beer mats under everyone's glasses.

Tscha. I explained it all last week. Didn't take wind thingummy into account though, ahhhhhrghmph.

Brilliant, giggling. I have never yet got anything better than 'I wanted to see if you were asleep'. I WAS.

Was there a discarded flower next to the bag, and a suspiciously large pair of red/yellow shoes?

Sherlock jumped, and landed in the van filled with rubbish bags - note that Watson has to go around a small building in front to reach him and crucially would not have seen the last few feet of the fall. Holmes nips out of the van and lies on the pavement where he and is surrounded by Molly and her co-conspirators and covered with fake blood. The van drives off. Meanwhile, Watson is knocked over to buy time and to disorient him. Holmes slows his pulse down to nothing to trick Watson who is only allowed to check his pulse very quickly before being hurried away.

Used to use Sainsbury's but switched to Ocado after too many late deliveries, stupid substitutions and general annoyance. People do report Tesco is cheaper but Ocado sells good products, is always on time, rarely substitutes and employs nice people so am reluctant to switch. The only thing that I don't like about them is that they over-package and use too many bags - it would be perfectly possible to cut out bags and deliver in crates.

Check out Grampa mooning over his daughter-in-law, and Gramma glaring at her daughter and son-in-law. Yeeargh!
