A man a few words. That make no sense.

What is Mr Dodd saying? All he's done is let this one out like a tedious and slippery wet fart and then let somebody else - who happens to be more considered (ie you) do all the talking. His contributions are the usual yawnworthy mix of hyperbole (see use of 'Playschool' and 'creche'), envy ("we never had the time or the money to take them to the pub"), contradiction (oh look.. next post "when i take my kids out if they are noisey or messing about ie crawling or running about i will take them outside so as not trouble other diners") and the cherry on the top "Yummy Mummies doing lunch" - Bravo, Mr Dodd, BRAVO. I sincerely hope a rogue toddler empties a bowl of pasta on his head - as a reward for posting such 'complete arse'.

I reckon you could lure them in with a spot of EL&P - and then blast their faces off with a gigantic blunderbuss.

Damn and blast it to hell. Emerson Lake & Palmer followed by Creedence Clearwater Revival? Actually I think I'd rather just tread in the fox sh1t.

I expect Emerson meant Creedence Clearwater Revival. So yes, let's bring on Creedence Clearwater Revival. And if Lake and Palmer are up for it, let's bring them on too.

It's simply a matter of him helping himself to someone else's stuff when they're not looking. My advice would be for the lad to stock up his cupboard with really dreadful food (Netto is a good place to start - if there is one) and then 'skim' from other cupboards. His own well-stocked supply will provide cover for his thievery but his own will always be bottom of everybody else's filch-list.

Never mind the food - has he brought his first traffic cone / road sign back to his room yet?

Nice try - but ah-ah! You'll have to do better than that. Let's hear from some other people as to whether these lights (the ones that Huge hasn't even seen) are better or worse than the old system - before we read Hugenot's A-level paper. Real people - people who use it! I'm nailing my colours to the mast as a non-Marmora Road living, crossing-using, non-driving person with a young child. If I'm in the minority than so be it.

I'm sure most people would agree that 'ex-pat tit' has a better ring to it that just 'tit'. You're no more entitled to a view on this particular zebra crossing / lights issue that I'm am as to, for example, whether you're current haircut is any better than the one you had two months ago. (Though my guess would be that it's probably 'about the same').

Do you even know where Forest Hill Road is, Hugenot? Let me give you directions: turn left out of your apartment, head for the airport, check in, board flight, fly for twelve hours. Get a black cab from Heathrow - they should be able to find it for you. Then, when you've actually - you know - had a look and actually used it a few times - you might be qualified to offer a vaguely considered opinion - like the ones offered above, whether they be yes or no. Oh - it would help if you lived here for a number of years prior to the change so you can get an insight into the better / worse thing too. And he's a boy, you ex-pat tit.

You seem to have missed my post, Huge.. selective reading? If you're seriously suggesting that somehow these crossings 'give pedestrians a priority over motorists' then you've either got jam for brains OR you live six thousand miles away and have no regular experience of using the crossings as a pedestrian whatsoever.

Hugenot, our man in Singapore... Even my four year old can see how ridiculous the lights are - certainly on the crossings which are parallel with FHR. The one (ones? I forget) that runs across FHR is only necessary because of the environment that putting all the crossings in has created: a disconcerting mixture of interminable waits and amber-gambling - for both motorists and pedestrians.

That's true. Except that Scott's old boozah has an alarmingly high 'knob content' of a weekend.

Switzerland. The most boring country I've ever visited. No wonder euthansia is legal there.

Sorry Magpie. No posting after 5pm.

If you're quick - I just saw one of those on Dog Kennel Hill.

Because a fox with a tyre tread running over its back with its innards blown out of its ass is not massively appealing?

Hi Snorky.. I knew the Cat Thread would prove too hard for you to resist.

Actually probably best not have any parties at all. Parties are antisocial.

11pm.. nice one. Any advance on 11pm?

I like the porn idea, but it might be a tad progressive. But it could be a televised spectator sport which doesn't consist mostly of footage umbrellas seen from above, grass, conversations you can't hear and silly trousers - accompanied by the sound of light wind broken by occasional half-hearted clapping.

When the golf isn't being shown, can I request something a little more uptempo? Some 'live' dry stone-walling perhaps? Or video footage of an old man yawning - slowed down 1000 times?
