i suffer the glasses gremlin in particular. i actually bought some more before finding the last pair. but find them i did and now i've got 2 pairs so my odds of finding one are much improved

was shy of the razor and tweezers

indeed, drdesoto, the additional genuis of that scrabble board being the transgressive independant. a masterwork. JesusCappuccino I am shocked! dont diss the limerickers!

nice post mama

Yes, capt you are right. it was steve miller band but i thought that Jamiroquai was/is the space cowboy or something?

Every time Maurice comes on, Can the space cowboy tune be played? as every time he posts that what always pops into my head. As in.... some people call me Maurice some people call me the space cowboy in fact maybe he should be played by Jamiroquai? Also the administrator should surely be Judge Dread and Muttley is another that plays himself as he is another animal

I loved the limericks. 42 pages and counting...including these gems: There was a new shop named Moxton that moved to East Dulwich from Hoxton Their slippery eels.. Resembled baby seals But was soon bought out by Foxton When Dulwichmum had a book launch she had to work hard on her paunch So she stopped eating cake For cake eating sake And stuck with the creamy blancmange Maurice wants to know about crack He's hoping that in Santa's sack There'll be uppers and downers and a few Golden Browners A spliff a few Es and some smack

totally agree Ratty. and the rest.... you could literally do an A to Z of parental guilt pressure points. most of them rehearsed on this forum one way or another: A- Are they getting enough milk? B- Babyfood-is it organic? C- Childcare- is it good enough D- Designer buggy- must not buy E -Ears of adults in pub trying to have a nice quiet time... must always be protected F- Fumes, must not poison with G- Gift shop, must not waste time in H- Huge salary of partner, must not spend all the way to those precious ZZZZs- sleeping through the night yet?

blinder is right, they dont need much, but IMHO they do need a buggy. worth spending a few (maybe not ?550) quid if you work out how long you'll be using it for. you dont want one that gets knackered after repeated folding. 3 years? every day? how many miles a day? then maybe another child? some things that babies really dont need: shoes. tricky one this.....they cant walk. their own channel on satellite tv devoted to bright shiny colours video monitor so you can watch them sleep from another room.....um, just go into the room and look at them special rocking chair to be fed in. unless maybe you dont have any chairs already

how about use of the word 'designer' either to mean 'far too expensive you are a fool for buying this' or 'buy this it's loads better than the other ones' most stuff is 'designed' by 'designers'

macroban- when you say 'designer' what do you mean? are you saying that 1950s prams were not 'designed' did they just fall out of the sky complete? or perhaps you all made your own back then, with no template, drawing or 'design'?

was splodgy and weird

I agree about Ally Pally. saw arcade fire there a few weeks ago. whilst the band were great its a shocking venue. also they had some hidous token system going on with the bar, a bar which had 4 beers, wine or smirnoff ice. bah! give me brixton academy anyday

whilst reading the new living south

I'm so happy someone found my Welly

should have known not to mess with that lassie

tim finn- is he from crowded house?

he can have the cash. I dont mind. So what was new? the moving photo from rachel's 'memories'? that was in the directors cut too i thought? I agree, he soo is one. but why he is he so crap at jumping and fighting? and choosing shirts? is he another nexus6? or maybe he's a 5?

so good to see it in full technicolour on the big big sreen. the film is v different from the book though. I think he is too, but still....why does he feel his injuries so much? and why is he not as good at fighting and jumping than the others? Is he a special 'crappy old cop' model?

I certainly hate to look tarty

quick somebody flash them your boobies

i love the idea that people in the future are reading this.......whilst wearing silver catsuits and eating cardboard food capsules. or something

it is indeed funny. i like the naughty remark at the end

anything by Oasis. especially anything involving him singing the word shine or 'shayine' as he will pronounce it in that god awful sneer of his. this word appears in 85% of all their output I believe. O and Angels by Robbie Williams

you should definitely try it again if just for those lovely vangelis synthesisers.
