  2. I assumed Jimmy TT was making a gag with racket... Might be completely off the mark though!
  3. Foxes can be pretty problematic for some people. We had a mother and 8 cubs living under our decking and they wrecked our fences, plants, veg etc and covered the garden in horrible poo! Anyway, several thousand pounds later after a garden make over to get rid of the decking (once the cubs were big enough to leave)and fix everything they are thankfully gone. They are very cute but I am looking forward to hopefully only seeing them in the street from now on!
  4. i think that they may have been firewoks. just heard them too on Barry Road.
  5. Quite right Vik, that's exactly what I was looking for!
  6. Just a word of warning to anyone who had a leaflet through their letterbox yesterday for a clothing collection this Thursday that this is a collection by a private company (RA & B Services Ltd) and not by a charity. I nearly put a load of clothes out for them before I realised but would prefer that my donations went to a charity. Others may not mind but thought I'd flag the issue in case you do!
  7. I've never used Denmark Hill station before but need to be in Chelsea for 9.30am tomorrow. Can you usually get on the 7.53am to Victoria or would I be better getting an earlier one? I'm going to see a new client so don't want to find I can't get on a train and be late!! Thanks for any replies.
  8. Ant Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Still no sign of any resurfacing on Landells > Road... Ant, I think that they were supposed to start Landells today after working on Pellatt Road from Friday, over the weekend, and finishing yesterday. Given that they only put out the no parking signs on Pellatt yesterday to start work today I doubt that they will start on Landells until the end of the week at the earliest...
  9. Hi James, Could you also please give an update as to the work on Pellatt Road? I had understood it was supposed to be carried out from Friday until today but very litte, if anything, has been done so far. Mnay thanks, Sonya
  10. Not that quick but quite easy to get the Stanstead Express into Liverpool Street (45 mins), then bus to London Bridge (149 I think?) and then train to ED.

A friend of the my husband's was one of the writers on Spooks for a few of the series and Rupert P-J was nick-named Rupert Pendulous-Jones for his rather manly attributes. Apparently he was often quick to suggest changes which were always "I think that this scene would be better if I was naked, don't you?"
  12. Does anyone know if any of the hairdressers on/around the Lane sell KMS hair products? Thanks in advance for any replies.
  13. The trouble is that whatever time of day they go past it's probably disturbing someone. Night workers would probably be disturbed if it was in the middle of the day, for example. At least you only have it once a week - we have the Royal Mail vans speeding down our road at 5am 5 days a week! But as the alternative would be to get double glazing or something we just live with it. Although I can recommend ear plugs - they make quite a difference!
  14. I'm not sure what a T Brown van is but if you know who the company are then surely they will have a log of which drivers were in your area at the time you were hit? Shouldn't take long for them to narrow down their list and speak to some of the drivers to find out who it was and discipline them for not stopping after an accident. Perhaps write a letter of complaint to the Managing Director?
  15. Didn't he write a book about juxtaposed transvestites called "Transposition"?

Try sitting a bit further back on the left on the new buses - I did this morning and enjoyed the footrest which I am also a fan of!
  18. I was on a 40 last night about 6pm and it went to the library and I also got one from Blackwater Street this morning so think that the normal route is back in action.
  19. and don't forget the grilled haloumi - YUM.
  20. Just came across this http://www.talkswindon.org/index.php?topic=3730.0 so looks like they are hard sell sales men that have moved on from Swindon.
  21. Dave, I had the same thing last night but it was a young girl. I must admit I didn't think about it being someone casing the place although it is suspicious now that you mention it with them asking if they should call at night. I fortunately didn't answer that question because as soon as they asked for a phone number I said that I wasn't interested. I pointed out that I had their leaflet if I wanted work doen in the future at which point the girl said that there were no contact details on it and took it back! Seems very fishy indeed.
  22. It may be that wife2 was fine with couples dinners prior to the wedding invite situation (although I am sure that TLS will expand) and will be fine after the wedding but is now not wanting to go to such a dinner at the moment because of the wedding invite brouhaha. I think it's entirely reasonable that she doesn't want wife1 at her wedding, I wouldn't have wanted an ex-wife at my wedding as who wants a reminder that their chap has done it all before with someone else etc, as indiepanda says. But equally, I would be fine having dinner with my husband's ex if he were still good friends with them and it was all long ago.
  23. We had a very good meal at Haozhan's a few months ago. I'd definitely go back.
