You can put a digital plant pot on top, and play it on Saturday mornings after a cup of digital coffee and a slice of digital toast. It'll be just like the real thing.

How could I forget.. THE ULTIMATE second album (in relation to subsequent output)... Lou Reed / Transformer

Parallel Lines = Blondie Peak Surfer Rosa = Pixies Peak Neil Young: Everybody Knows This is Nowhere AND THEN After The Goldrush AND THEN Harvest.. ooh. The ultimate second album highpoint followed by forty years of PLEASE STOP.. Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

Ah yes.. Come Dine With Me. Now in its 5th year, bloated-out to an hour, with its own spin-off show, played occasionally on loop as a channel-filler... and iced with a narration more desperate than ever to 'entertain'. Hang on.. that sounds familiar?!?!

oooohhh my life's so rich and full.. mmmmm... etc We've mostly avoided the last several series (apart from the obligatory quick look when it starts), but the 'sleb' offering this year has actually been quite engrossing and we're still watching. The mix of people and 'play' between has been genuinely interesting - for a change. This is the last year of BB of course. But - despite the drudgery and inevitable decline, it still remains a phenomenal television format.. we'll be waiting a long time before we see anything anywhere near as original pop-up on our screens.

Though I expect Hugenot would probably be more of Bond Street man.

Not necessarily, Jeremy. Speaking-up for public transport: I've had a blow job in Tottenham Court Road tube station.

A dozen jars of Shippam's Crab Paste

Good point, GG

My effort

I like to thing she bent over to wind down the passenger-side window and then got one of her earrings caught in his fly zipper. Easily done.

I mean a 'suer'. Sorry, Gillian. Honest mistake.

Careful, brum. She's a sewer, you know.

And the criticism RE using Excel is duly justified. How anyone can contemplate pitching for/doing this sort of work seriously but not manage to put-together a basic 'this is what it would look like' type shot on their computer is just.. poor.

It's the design that costs the money, Mark. The ideas. Though personally I think if you really do want something that looks like was designed by local primary school children (circa 1974) it seems a bit mean not to at least ask them in the first place.

Was her head moving around the vicinity of the passenger's lap? .. in a rhythmic fashion?

I've been inspired by the existing proposal.. Couldn't we have a giant Excel Spreadsheet, upon which residents could plot the course of house prices, with a can of red spray paint? Living art, if you will. That'll be ?2800, please.

Won't this sort of suggested artwork ("artwork") which only covers a very small percentage of the wall only serve to draw attention to the fact that it isn't a very nice wall? Hiding it is a better idea, a la Sue's suggestion. Isn't that quite a sunny wall? Trailing plants dangling from the top which flower in summer or somefink?

I don't pine for a bobby on the beat.. although in my (unscientific) research I'd have to say that I have seen more of said bobbies in the last couple of years than I ever have - walking our quiet stretch of road. I suspect what the police already know - that bobbies on the beat are an ineffective use of policing and serve more as a means on reassurance to people who feel safer seeing them more than anything. And nothing wrong with that. Who knows why the police are in force at Peckham Rye? Has anyone asked them? Maybe I've just been lucky, but in my experience the police have been fairly sensible with regards to harassing the taxpaying citizen - even when they're caught with something fingerwaggy. If they want to 'up the figures' for catching taxpayers with drugs, they only have to walk into the nearest nightclub at 5am and handcuff all 1000 people at the same time. The exceptions seem to be 'showcase' type events where some bright spark decrees that something simply has to be done and as a result something seemingly out of character and proportion occurs from time to time - before normal service is resumed.

You'd be forgiven for thinking Peckham Rye at 6pm is a melee of riot shields and baton charging as lines of hapless commuters are lined-up, spreadeagled against a wall, waiting to be bumsearched and sent directly to Room 101. They'll be gone soon, and everyone can get back to worrying about being mugged on the way out of the station, because there aren't any police around at all.

You know what it's like.. you wait all year waiting to see one bobby on the beat and then six come along at once with dogs and sniff your balls.

Agree. Half of dozen dogged-up policemen are not going to be a permanent fixture at Peckham Rye, or any other rail station. I expect they're there to make an impression, which clearly they have. If you are concerned, I suggest you take your weed, pills, knives and guns out through Denmark Hill until the situation resolves itself - just like the people they're hoping to catch will be doing.
