  1. Sweet Home Alabama- Lyrnd Skynrd
  2. Singing the Blues- Guy Mitchell
  3. What's to stop everyone going around incognito?- it's a natural backlash against all the surveillance that the vast majority of us are subjected to 24/7
  4. My car was rifled through but I don't keep anything in it. Clean off the tell-tale marks of your sat nav holder off the windscreen as well.
  5. Fall From A High Place- Immolation
  6. Money Honey- Ry Cooder
  7. Plastic bag- what's that again?
  8. If you put them on your head they get tangled in your hair and the arms get stretched and then they are loose. If you get the string things they are hanging down and can get damaged. The idea is to get small frames and keep them on all the time and then put them on the edge of your nose peer over them when not reading. Also ,people who need specs for reading are a certain age when they could not care less (if they ever did) if people think they look stupid. What's the problem KK? I wish people would distinguish between a BRAKE (on a car) and a BREAK (in the sun or of a bone) When I read 'put your breaks on..' for example, I think they have misspelled 'breeks'
  9. You used to be able to at Alleyns but you might have to be a member
  10. You and your boyfriend could learn musical instruments (e.g. piano) and/or singing. You would need to practise vocal/piano exercises every day and do this at a reasonable time and for a reasonable length of time (according to what your teacher tells you). A friend of mine started the piano and the neighbour complained to the council and the council backed my friend because he was not unreasonable in his behaviour. This will cost some money but it will also be therapeutic. People give pianos away regularly on the forum. Depends on how much you want to live in ED (personally I prefer Guildford!)
  11. Have you seen his austerity cook book ad on the buses?
  12. F*** Off Noddy- Ian Dury and the Blockheads
  13. That's 1.2 metres square per person maximum, let's hope no-one wants to swing a cat!
  14. This morning 2 cyclists in lycra and helmets came out of one end of a street the wrong way (their end is a one way street) on my right just as I turned left into it. Fortunately I looked because last year the same thing happened and he swerved at the last minute. It's only a matter of time because there are more cyclists on my way to work and they are taking more chances. Fortunately winter is coming and there will probably be less of them.
  15. That's because their glasses are readers (comes with age) and the people and landscape would look blurry through the readers.
  16. Children and students can go to the theatre as a school trip in a school group sometimes which is cheaper. Also why should everyone subsidise children at every turn- the parents may be well off. The same can be said for students who get discounts on stationery, clothing and other stuff. Also, why should only NHS staff around Camberwell get money off stuff? I am also amazed that children up to 19 in full time education get free oyster travel. This encourages them to go too far to school and hop on and off buses for 1 or 2 stops. The cost of all these discounts come from our taxes or is passed on to other shoppers. I do not begrudge oapsany of their concessions because they have no way of supplementing their income and their cheap concessions are sometimes restricted to unpopular times.
  17. The back streets are being hit too. I was going to work at 7.15 am and a car I passed had about 1 inch of one back tyre on the kerb and a ticket on the windscreen!
  18. People should try and surreptitiously take a photo (only if they do not see your phone)- maybe they are goading you to get your phone out then they can snatch it.
  19. Get some ear plugs- I've never regretted it although if I got burgled I wouldn't hear a thing
  20. Apart from the last post from Salsaboy (just think one of these days the mascara will poke in their eye, or the lipstick will end up around the ear area and take comfort), most of these things cause me irrational consternation for one reason or another so I wouldn't really say it was 'irrational' rage because there are sound reasons for all of the above to be objectionable- especially going for a walk with another person over 5 ft tall and having to dodge round all the overhanging bushes around East Dulwich(I don't know if this has been mentioned but it has now).
  21. If it was Edgar Broughton he should have a blue plaque imho
  22. Would the police deal with it?
  23. I have totally lost all faith in the human race. I prefer trees.
  24. Something else for the blue bin.
  25. It's the only time of the year you can get chestnuts and boil them yourself. Or burn a log legitimately. And it is very empowering to know that all the shops are closed. And all the Christians moan and act in a most unchristian manner because all the extra people go to midnight mass and take up their pews. And I don't feel guilty buying loads of booze in Sainsburys.
