  1. If there is a God he/she/it would have given the pope a bit of help in keeping the RC in the pew and anyone else who believes in him/her/it. God is the adult equivalent of an imaginary friend.
  2. I was at a meeting with some council officers and other people and someone said 'I don't want to be a n***** in the wood pile.....' and all hell broke loose
  3. Days turn blue to gray- Machine Head
  4. Since we have a Labour controlled council and a Con/Lib dem government then front-line services will be cut back instead of cuts being made 'in the backroom' i.e. non-essential admin. This always happens- the general public will suffer because that has the political impact. A certain amount of money is allocated to our services but it does not have to be spent on the front line.
  5. I'm Too Sexy- Right Said Fred
  6. Roll Over Beethoven- Chuck Berry
  7. A work colleague asked me to pick him some of those small brown toadstools that are found in cow fields since I was going to the countryside. I wouldn't do it as I didn't want to be responsible for the aftermath. He got some himself and dried them and made tea out of them- he had a blinding headache for 3 days- and he said it wasn't worth it (I got the impression that they are hallucinogenic)
  8. Johnny Too Bad- John Martyn
  9. Reeko is right
  10. Microwaveable wholegrain brown rice Merlot Meat

    Great Gigs

    I saw Steely Dan in Birmingham a few years ago and it was about ?20. Also Metallica and Machine Head at the O2 was much cheaper about ?25 a couple of years ago- I know that the Pussy Cat Dolls charged about ?75 at the O2 but I expect that was to fund their umpteen changes of clothes- this is ridiculous- I am content that I saw the Stones for free in Hyde Park 40-odd years ago.
  12. We had some teenage lads knocking for the Catholic Church in Nunhead about 9pm a month ago. I didn't open the door and phoned the church the next day and the secretary said they never send people out. There are scammers all over the place and the knockers could be 'casing the joint'.
  13. They could re-open that bit of road next to the Harris school leading on to Forest Hill Road then I wouldn't have to drive down Underhill. And- when they actually catch someone doing something bad they need to prosecute them properly.
  14. strap
  15. Up The Junction- Squeeze
  16. Sorry about the extra apostRophe Champ. I should get a job as a proof reader and get this language trivia out of my system
  17. Well-educated...mmmmh....it's 'anyone 'know' not 'no' you may want to add to this list- please excuse obvious content.
  18. William Herschel- Tulse Hill (on a pub) Camille Pisarro - Crystal Palace - on a bank at the lights at Crystal Palace Parade. I think he painted from Sydenham High School at one time. Also there must be one for Gustav Holst locally because he taught at JAGS
  19. Listen 'up'?
  20. I had to have a listen- was nearly sick- sorry
  21. Now that is funny NdP. Someone should have surely added a few other -ists and maybe a -phile to his list of accomplishments. I wonder who the other well-known celeb is?
  22. stems
  23. And the Gods made Love- Jimi Hendrix ( would've been 70 this year next month RIP)
  24. Global issues are too complicated for me I'm afraid
  25. I was at secondary school in 1964 so the summer term 1963 would have applied to me since I was in the final year of juniors.(It just 'felt' like it was on Thursdays- I could be wrong of course.) Yes and music and movement in the smelly dining/assembly/gym hall.
