Dear me, buggy problems in LA? How very posh of you, trollman. I thought we were talking about South London, not Southern California.

*ignores rude barracking from them at the back* Autumn is coming on in style in PR Park, with most of the trees still mainly green but touched with red or yellow on their sunniest leaves. My favourite acer next to the Japanese garden bridge has turned purple and next week will flame scarlet for a few days before all the leaves droop and die. What looks like a pampas grass on the path next to the main entrance turning left from the oval flowerbed has sprouted rather amazing spikes of droopy cream-coloured flowers.

Well, it was about time, we haven't had a yummy-mummy bashing for ages. I've got no issue with it, there's no denying large buggies are hard to make your way around, and no-one likes their ankles being hit. Rude, arrogant people are unbearable, and should be both confronted in person and lambasted in cartoon, in the hopes that they may recognise themselves... well, OK, let's face it, they won't. But at least it makes everyone else feel better. It's only when the bashing starts to extend to wider parameters about the hideousness in general of women who leave it too late, or are single mothers, or who want to go back to work or who don't want to go back to work, or have the wrong accent, or breastfeed in public, or are too well-dressed or whatever that feels as though it's straying into misogyny and snobbishness. But since those voices tend to be those with very obvious issues, well ... hey ho. This is a public forum, after all.

We is well posh innit, but we is proper yummy yah?

The beans are pretty frustrated-looking too, I'm afraid.

Dear me, I must then be old-fashioned to the point of immaculate. I have never been to a curry club, and nor has Mr. Moos...

Sounds great. I nominate 6pm-8pm.

My goodness. I've never had any problems with it, and have been quite pleased with purchases and with (a few) sales.

What does badger taste like?

Would be nice if this thread could keep going if only to keep dads coming into this part of the forum - it's supposed to be a family room not a mums' room, and it's great when the dads are here too. Come to think of it, families are also grannies and uncles and cousins and siblings and stuff, so it should include everyone! - but you know what I mean.

I'd advise you to buy before you sell, always pay immediately and always ask for feedback. Most regular buyers would hesitate to buy from a complete novice with no feedback, as you could be totally unreliable. If you buy a few cheap items and have 100% good feedback as a reliable person, then you look better as a seller.

Why Badger, no need to take umbrage, old fellow. What's a misplaced case between friends? I just thought it might be jolly to bite the biter - all as a joke, you know! *a flash of brown fur, and Ratty disappears under the bridge in the Japanese Garden*

No subjunctive, PGC? Neh heh heh. It does seem to be a bumper crop year for conkers. I was in Ruskin Park recently, and they were just lying around waiting to be picked up and their shiny glow gloated over. I don't know what the kids in Camberwell are thinking!

What does that mean?

Gimme, you raised a reasonable point in your first post on this thread, but it feels as though you're taking it a little off topic now.

By the way, I have no idea whether I'm in the inner circle, I'm just fond of Michael Plinkyplonk and like teasing him.

The inner circle is like celebrity as defined by someone or other. You go into a VIP room, and inside there's another door to another VIP room. In that VIP room, there's another door into a very small VIP room, with a tiny door into another VIP room.... and so on and so on... eventually you think you're in the last VIP room, but then you spot another door. You open the door, and find yourself looking into a cupboard, where Jack Nicholson is standing on his own drinking a martini. Meanwhile, back in all the various VIP rooms, people are having a good time.

Hurrah, thanks Georgia!

Not sure I can make it - when is it, again? Also, be good to know where you're going to go this time. Thanks!

If I look back on my (extraordinarily privileged) 18-year-old self, and my friends of that era, I think I can confidently say that my experience of very young adults at university is that they do not at all appreciate how privileged they are. Many people look back on their university days and wish they had had more focus.... while not necessarily regretting having a lot of fun.

Poor snowboarder, it's so rough. We're all rooting for you! BTW, and not that I'm suggesting this is linked to the sleeping because I'm sure it's not, but I stopped bfing Moosling aged 6 months, and did not regret it. Bfing for a year or longer is great if you can manage it/want to, but it doesn't have to be for everyone. Best of luck in whatever you decide.

I think Jah had a point about Monday. Slap, slap. Tuesday too, while I'm at it.

You're not that old Quids, you faker.
