Strawbs

Thanks D.. I would go there but it is actually my step-mum who arrived from Australia at 5am this morning who needs to do something for my dad so I fear if I tried to direct her in her jetlagged state she would end up god knows where!

Is there anywhere on the lane that does scanning of docs that can then send to an email address? I need to urgently get something scanned and emailed.. thanks

Last one I saw was the one where they phoned > everyone and the people on the other end jumped up > and down. My money was on a bun in the oven. That was the engaged one, if you read her lips she says something like 'asked me to marry him' or similar.. bun in the oven will be soon but there must be going to be another in between!! I hope..

My best friend lives just off college road and yes it is quiet and leafy but its a pain in the arse public transport wise.. It does have regular (ish) trains to sydenham hill but not as often as east / north dulwich and the station can be a bit dodgy depending on what side of it you exit.. Buses up there are not great.. for my money I wouldnt go there.. and youre right you have to pay the toll unless you live ON college road and then I believe it is free.. my best friend loves it as she has a car and drives everywhere including work but every fri/sat night she is cabbing it to the lane (10.50 each way) for a night out as not much going on up that neck of the woods besides the Mansion (gone severely downhill since the new owners took it on), the Alleyn Head (pretty average) and then the triangle up at gipsy hill (one bar call the black sheep is good).. (I also use to live at gipsy hill - do not live there!) anyhoo just my thoughts..

I have come to love Adam and Jane and I am ashamed to admit it but let out a little squeal of excitement when they got engaged! Im sad I know!.. I'll go now...

I think the tube is an absolute fantastic service.. live in other countries such as Australia where I am from and it makes you realise how great it is.. Tube - peak hour - train every 1 - 2 mins (at worst) Australian trains - peak hour - 1 train every 17 - 23 minutes - I kid you not!

sometimes I dont get that cartoon.. makes me feel like a right twat..

A pass by a clothes shop for a quick look and supersonic speed shop, then to boots to restock no my favourites then log on to amazon and burn up a quick 20 or so..

We def have a damp problem that the landlord is going to fix so maybe once that is done it will sort itself out.. We put more salt down yesterday (used the entire container actually) and they have been back overnight, all over the cupboards, up the drawers, slime left all over the tea towel .. it is gross! On the weekend am going to pull the kitchen apart to see if I can see where they are coming in from.. dulwitch - will put some pellets throught he cupboards too and see if that helps.. x

HI Sam (Ignore the response you just got..) No idea sorry but am quite interested in looking in to it myself.. If I come up with anything I will let you know..

ended up getting a cab both ways as was way too hungover to face it..

Hey all thanks for the responses.. I can totally confirm it is beyond disgusting and the kitchen is getting scrubbed within an inch of its life every day! Tried the bleach, tried the plug (which stopped them for a few days but now they have worked out another way of getting in), tried the salt and also continue to put pellets down.. I think the only thing left to do is way more salt in each cupboard like you say Tee and pulling all the cupboards out and filling any space we see.. Is it a seasonal thing or can we expect this all year round? x

As in they would drink the beer then go and die or they would just way much prefer swimming in a pool of beer than slugging around on a kitchen sink? Wow your mum was keen on slug removal! ha ha ha.. We have tried putting a line of salt on the kitchen surfaces, dishwasher etc.. Will try your pot of beer idea.. Its all worth a try at this point! thanks

We have just moved in to a ground floor flat and are having an issue with slugs in our kitchen during the night.. We have caught them in the act a few times (coming out to 4 or 5 of the things) and also the evidence is there in the morning when we wake up ( if we havent caught them in the act ourselves). We have put slug killer down and also we now put the plug in when we go to sleep which seems to have stopped them for a few days but woke up this morning and their trails were everywhere so they are back.. Any tips on how we get rid of them or atleast deter them? thanks

That's my bday and the wifey is taking me out for dinner so not sure we will make it x

Not seen him but hear him all the time.. He comes up oakhurst as well.. I get that he is probably having some fun but it is fricking annoying after a while..

enjoyable night for sure, I really enjoyed myself.. Wont be at the next oens so see you all in october x

oh no that's awful.. rest up chicken. x

Okey dokey Jaws and I are in and we are plus 2 x

Im addicted to 'magic' at the moment.. It is driving Jaws up the wall but nothing pleases me more than pottering in the kitchen with a glass of vino and magic on in the background..

Diary says we are free and I am on holiday so I would be able to stay out late! woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. Just checking with the wife.. xx

Thank you everyone sorry to be such a twit but the settings on the journey planner were trying to pick up my postcode as a station, so Ive literally just worked it out and logged on to call myself a twit.. thanks No.1 Twit:-$

Im trying to get to clap junc on sunday and all the journey planners I am doing is coming up as two buses and a train or at minimum two buses.. Am I being daft or does the service just not run on a sunday? thanks x

Think the thread should read 5th August not 5th Sept unless we are predicting when we are all going to get done! >:D
