  1. My daughter watches it 'religiously' but even she had to turn away when that nasty man was wielding that baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped around it...horrible flesh-eating zombies she can cope with because they are not real..
  2. You could probably buy the ingredients and make yourself a whole month's worth for not much more than ?2....
  3. I have slept fine for the last 10 years now that I wear the earplugs thanks
  4. Yes- noise pollution is a massive problem around here- since moving under the flight path I have had to wear ear plugs to sleep past 4 am (or keep the windows shut all year round-awful) ...not for everyone though- my brother in law tried them and he said it made him feel like he was dead...so Catherine W what are we going to do about the NOISE that keeps us awake?
  5. Out for definite....
  6. My biggest health problem is forgetting to drink enough water...
  7. I just looked at their housing strategy and it says that social, council and private housing will be indistinguishable in Southwark...well they should do the external decorations of their street properties because the peeling paintwork around window frames and doors is a dead give away....and unprotected wood does not age well and they will need to replace the rotting timber because they did not carry out this basic maintenance...and that will cost all council tax payers a lot of money
  8. long track, with repetitive refrain so you can sing along...Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden comes to mind....
  9. Maggie May..the b side of Reason To Believe
  10. There is a disabled bay near me and the people who applied for it never park in it- in fact it is empty all the time that I have observed but they park their vehicles near the bay. This puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on the surrounding residents since many of the houses have been converted into 2 flats- seems weird to me
  11. Useful site for scientific minds http://www.curiousminds.co.uk/Astronomy/Orreries
  12. Yes it's brilliant that they actually exist considering the number of cats around here.....
  13. You could try Rock Bottom Music near West Croydon Station- the staff are very helpful
  14. The police do a great job. When you think that their whole working day is spent dealing with the dregs of society and all the miserable stuff of life and yet they STILL get pilloried right, left and centre by people who should know better.
  15. When is your next London gig?
  16. I agree, French brie is too salty and rubbery in texture....Somerset is much nicer- and the Cheddar...the cave-matured from Cheddar Gorge is the very best.
  17. On the escalator there was an ad with hot cross buns with bacon inside them....just goes to prove how tasteless and mass produced they are now that you have to slap bacon in them ...yummy
  18. The advantage of being around these days is that you can pick and choose the aspects of 'religion' that you want to observe..you only need to be a proper adherent is if you want a place in a 'faith' school for your offspring
  19. I hate currants, and there is never enough spice in them, and i prefer wholemeal- so I'm going to make my own

    Bin woes

    I think all these eyesores of bins is great- it serves to remind us all that we create loads of unnecessary waste especially packaging....and at least the bins do not stink like a landfill site. The 3 Rs- Reuse, Refuse, Recycle..
  21. Now that Donald Trump has waded into the Brexit question, anyone who wants 'out' will be tarred with the same brush as him ...shut down.... http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/donald-trump-claims-outpouring-of-love-weighs-in-on-brexit-debate/news-story/9731b8cb8a6c021e0d2e036be53f6a80
  22. The 'loony left' put most of their energies into going after students and minority groups- hence the blitz on social media- but as someone once said,'if you're not a Socialist before you are 25 you have no heart, but if you are still a Socialist after 25, you have no brain'
  23. Some people do cane it down/up Barry Road- I hope they get caught and lose their licences...mind you you can always tell the people near the 12 points- riding along doing 20mph in a performance car!
  24. (The sell off of council homes was in a Labour manifesto FIRST fyi Blah) When my elderly father developed diabetes and COPD due to smoking and he was retired, a man came to his door and told him he could claim ?200 a month- this was 10 years ago. He is on a large pension and owns property which he rents out. He is married to someone who is also on a large pension. The ?200 a month (probably more now as it is 10 years since he first told me). He is very generous to family members- although they do not need the money......
