East Dulwich = Peckham

Local 'super'market up in Sheffield used to have a basket out front selling 'mystery tins' - ie canned goods which had lost their labels - for 5p a shot. A surprisingly entertainly way to spend an evening. (When you're broke.)

Can someone come round to my place, please? I need changing.

I've thought about it, and you're right, Hal. They should have got Kubrick to do the the moon landing hoax film pics. Tie him in contractually for the sequel, of course. For Apollo 14: shake things up a bit. Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer would be a fine choice. Apollo 15: Romcom? Someone with a light touch (suggestions?) Apollo 16: 'Moon: The Musical'. Baz Luhrmann to direct. Final Mission: George Lucas - (proven track record in sci-fi)

Admin - Please move this to The Family Room.

I thought you said Kubrick's special effects-generated lunar landscape was unsurpassed?

I also went to the lunar photographic exhibition at the Hayward gallery. One is a film with special effects. The other was pictures taken on the moon. It was pretty obvious.

That one's an urban Myth, I'm afraid Andy http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp

Just imagine all the wonderful things we could do today, if we hadn't spent all that money on the Apollo missions. The world's largest bouncy castle, four miles high, situation in Orkney. A tunnel under Belgium. A personal jetpack for every British Citizen over the age of 13. Pay U2 not to make any more records.

Velcro?

We have made some giant leaps since then. Lest we forget the Beagle 2 mission to Mars, led by that farmer, Colin Pillinger. A Very British Expedition.

I never knew you were a Trekkie, Maurice? Ps.. unless I've much mistaken, "Rimworld" seems to have been re-named "Hatworld". Thought you ought to know.

Hardly surprising.. there's absolutely nothing there. There was nothing there on the first visit. Nor the second visit. Nor the third visit. Nor the fourth. Or the fifth. Not even the sixth.

On your head, I think.

That is rotten. Though the way you describe the scenario, it sounds like you were trying to burgle her flat or something? Now that would take the rot-cake.

Hmm.. for a summer wedding? I suggest a Prada jacket, an iPod and some Bumless chaps.

How about a romantic 'rot dinner'? One of our friends went on a second date with a fella - he offered to cook for for at his place. The (now legendary) dinner consisted of: Starter - Angel Delight Main - Bernard Matthews Turkey Roast, Served with tinned potatoes, Branston Pickle, Crisps and a sliced boiled egg. Dessert - Neapolitan Ice Cream. BEAT THAT

File in small round receptacle with pedal attached.

George at Asda do perfectly acceptable jeans - for a very reasonable price.
