Ciare, I urge you to treat this advice with the utmost caution. I'm not for a moment suggesting that TownleyG has any connection with Sainsbury, but at the same time I'm not saying he or she hasn't. The nearest supermarket to you is of course Tesco in Brixton, Acre Lane to be precise. You can't miss it looks like the housing for a swimming pool from the outside. It's a reverse Tardis, inasmuch as it is so much smaller on the inside as it looks from the outside. Good luck.

Cheers RB, you're a gent. Make you completely correct on the apostrophes, and it ain't a Truss thing as far as I'm concerned. I used to read Keith Waterhouse's column in the Mirror (that's how long ago it was, it was still worth reading) back in 19 mumblety-mumble and he railed against punctuation abuse/misuse. He formed the AAAA - the Association for the Abolition of Abberant Apostrophes. Used to get a lively correspondence. Maybe time for a revival?

From time to time, as the occasion necessitates, it can refer to loose change, if you catch my drift. And I'm in a drift throwing kind of mood. Capiche?

Why would you need to know? Norwood's rotten, Camberwell is groovy, inasmuch as it is home to Rock Steady Eddie's cafe. Nuff said. > > Hope I can get some answers, thanks for helpng.

Could've in speech, which comes out as could of is perfectly fine, though in writing is abysmal. 'Could have' in speech is w*nkery almost beyond redemption. I use the incorrect reflexive pronoun, to people that I like, in an informal sense, and I'm not a muppet. Though there are worse epithets that could be applied to a person, c@nty-boll*cks, for example. West Indian backslang? Nap'aw?

You're going to be so popular in the click, specially on Friday night when Brendan returns with the local spare change, I reckon double finger clicks will keep him on the straight, while giving him a little boost. Also. Plus of course, with those kind of fingers you'll find yourself featuring in a prominent position in the click's production of West Side Story. It's a little local production we'll be putting on. For the local widows and orphans you understand.

Brendan Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Dib dib dib. > > *salutes* Dib dib dib indeed, Brendan. I like that thinking. Low key. Let's keep the click as a Scouty/Cubsian kind of deal to the outside world. No need for civilians, as it were, to suspect, as they might, that a click sponsored by the EDF was a 'front' for a spare change of a Friday night collection racket. I refute that. It's defaming. The click is nothing more than a 'social club', a gathering of like-minded people who come together. That's all, they just come together. Any suggestion that 'non change donaters' will go the same way as the 'Dream Machine' will be met with the most vigorous legal action.

Time you joined the click K1997. Raise your right hand and say after me. "After me, you're considerably older and I think it's only polite to let you go first" Well done K, welcome to the click.

Keef, I think you've damned it with the faintest of praise, whether intentional or not, and I think you're correct, though not for continuing to watch it. If I was watching it and someone came in and waggled a Sunday supplement couple of pages with sunglasses porn at me, I'd be away from the telly and snuffling towards the pictures of RayBans, like a RayBan sort of hound. Anyway, all thoughts of Luther would be expunged. A Littlewoods catalogue would suffice as well.

Peckhamgatecrasher Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I'd love to join if I could be in charge of a > Quango. > > *Hopes The Glorious Leader doesn't think this is > presumptious.* It's an interesting notion, PGC. I'd not considered the idea of Quangos, but you appear to seem to be a self-governing sort of person, so let's go along with your suggestion. Mind that's not to minimise the importance of this Quango. PGC, will you accept the post of chair of the Lager Temperature Of Certain Indifferent Bars On Lordship Lane? You will of course, with your team have to visit the bars on a regular basis, and submit a report on a weekly basis on which of the indifferent bars 'come good' (as we click members say) as far as good lager temperature is out there, LAMF. What say, PGC?

But I know 'click' prefigures the rap/R&B idiom you're referring to. So North Londoner, how would you care to be the click's Forrin Secretary? So when we leave our yard(s) and have fi gwa forrin over the river, we know we'll have sanctuary. It's a key appointment.

Bless you, Brendan, no not at all, this click does not involve any sort of cheap exploitative humiliating initiation rituals. As if. No this is all about long term collections of loose change at week's end, which will be donated to The Glorious Leader (I haven't mentioned it for a couple of days, but in these times of tubulence and change, I should empasise it's still me}. Bike you say Brendan? Do you have working solid panniers? If so, there could an official post in the click for you. Ride round to other click members of a Friday evening and collect their week's worth of loose change. Should they demure then you will weedle, cajole and flim-flam them. The post of Chancer Of The Exchequer, is yours for the taking. There's a weekly quart of gin, if the prestige isn't enough.
