  1. My son got cavity wall insulation with this. He did it through his council (not in London) and he is very shrewd with money.
  2. Heart-shaped Box- Nirvana (I resisted the temptation to put Aneurism or Lithium)
  3. If you want to vent spleen you find something in the Drawing Room imho
  4. Hold Your Head Up- Argent
  5. Word of warning on the nailpolish whilst on the move. Holding the bottle and brush in one hand and trying to paint the nails could result in forgetting you have the bottle in your hand as you concentrate on using the brush and end up tipping nail varnish all over your clothes. I saw this on a bus- red varnish all over a beige skirt is not a pretty sight!
  6. There are people who put bags of rubbish on top of bins the night before the binmen come and by the morning (7.45 ish) the foxes have ripped them open and the contents are everywhere. This is the only problem I have seen around Crystal palace/ Goodrich roads except for the crisp packets discarded by children around there.
  7. During the late 1980's I knew a lot of women who had gained entry to university courses after following Access courses which became more widespread during the '80s. Also there was an expansion of Adult Education especially in Literacy, Numeracy and courses like Book-keeping and women filled the classes in the main. The children were looked after in creches for 2 hours for a 10p fee. If I recall the classes were linked to the Docklands redevelopment at the time and run by Southwark council staff.
  8. Deliver Us- In Flames
  9. This explains why families on average are spending ?110 a month on take-away according to the news.
  10. So it looks like they are targetting branches with branches close by. There should be cctv somewhere around there and their details should be widely publicised since this is happening with horrendous regularity.
  11. Reminded me of the immaculately dressed young lady on the Northern Line (Bank Branch) two weeks ago. She ate a banana in the most ladylike manner then stuck the skin on the window shelf. It was the first time in a long time, in my experience, that her fellow travellers made eye contact with each other!
  12. This is what they/we get up to now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOPPjt5ZoSs And it's in the open air!
  13. Another subculture that needs GMP protection?- having said that though the Sophie Lancaster murder was monstrous and unfortunately around that time there was another subculture of local thugs who were targetting Manchester Uni students to beat up but it did not seem to get into the National Press.
  14. Draw the Line- Aerosmith
  15. Dead to Me- Immolation

    Iain Banks

    I read 'Dead Air' and it was awful imho- was I just unlucky?
  17. Not of This Earth- Deicide
  18. The smokeless fuel from B and Q is fine- it's a peculiar hexagonal shape though. Overwhelming reasons for a solid fuel fire- power cuts and the gas just might run out.
  19. The staff are excellent- the customers leave a lot to be desired- children running around uncontrollably, blocking the aisles by putting their trollies across the whole thing, taking 10 minutes to pick out a few carrots- an oasis of rude behaviour!
  20. Gimme That Thing- Dr Hook
  21. "Don't you agree?...." means 'I've got this idea, and it is brilliant and you are going to agree/it will be implemented/ whether you like it or not...' (or your life will be made a misery for the foreseeable (subtext!)) My boss knows that I am much better than him at using a computer and he waits until the office is empty and then gets me to show him how to do stuff- I lurrrrve seeing him grovel for help
  22. Deep down I knew I was 'Elite' because at every family party the massive bowl of jellied eels that everyone tucked into just made me want to throw up!
  23. Thanks for that fm- we always wondered why my sister's bitch boxer cross tried to mate with our brother-in-law's leg!
  24. Having been born and brought up in the sound of the bells of St Mary-le-Bow (although they weren't sounding at the time!), thanks to the great Mrs T, I am 'Elite'.
  25. Carnivale, Rome, Stargate, V, although lots of the sci fi is on cable still
