Louisa

Alex K a youngster eating that bizarre looking creature must have the constitution of a cockroach. I must admit, a lot of Italian food has become so affordable now, to me it seems bizarre that so many people would pay through the nose for things like macaroni cheese, pizza or spag bol when you can do it at home for bugger all effort. SJ despite my dislike of all things 'posh cheese on toast' - on this one we agree unreservedly. To me personally, that creature above looks totally un-appetising and like some sort of lab experiment. Louisa.

Thanks everyone for advice. Salsaboy I've PMed you. Loz I've also rang up the number you supplied and waiting a call back they seemed decent enough. The boiler itself it still functioning currently but there is a constantly minor drip at the back so I've put towels to cover the area. BG were very helpful on the phone but they wanted the best part of 2500 for a replacement boiler, I hung up the phone. I'm not sure if it's the drain plug or both the back plate and the drain plug hence the plumber telling me the leak may well return? I wish I knew more about this stuff. Louisa.

I'm sure I don't have to go down any particular 'route' as to why the 'east' was dropped from the leisure centre. However, if you look at the old signage below the roof I'm sure it says "Dulwich Public Baths"- so maybe it's just a reversion to the old days when East Dulwich as a new suburb didn't really have it's own identity as such and people from far and wide would have closer ties to just 'Dulwich'. SJ it seems all this north east west south stuff confuses things. Anyhow, think what it would do for the property prices around here if we dropped the 'east' ;-) Louisa.

It should be called Dulwich Picture House - because most people in other areas know Dulwich and associate it with being a leafy beautiful location. The sooner the "East" is dropped from this area in every aspect the better. It confuses a lot of people anyway. Louisa.

I remember Coke Tab Otta, amazing. Is it not available still? I had a thing for a bag of smiths crisps and a can of tab back in the day. Louisa.

I called out a boiler engineer earlier today because I had a leak from the back of my boiler. On inspection he told me the back plate had corroded and would be unlikely to repair, and even if it did it would not necessarily repair the leak. He suggested a replacement boiler at a cost of ?1800. I'm not an expert at all when it comes to this sort of thing and I take these suggestions blindfolded. Any plumbing experts here able to offer me advice? Would I be better off going to British Gas for a second opinion? Stuck! (This is Louisa admitting defeat). Louisa.

I don't see how anyone could be. It will create footfall, add to the nightlife culture and attract people from other areas. It's a win win situation. Louisa.

Don't ever go to Glasgow and say that openly titch.:-) Louisa.

What a ridiculous looking creature that 'pizza' is rahrahrah. Why would anyone add mini burgers to the crust of cheese on toast? Bizarre. Mind you, at least it's Pizza Hut and not some poncey middle England gastro-woodfired-patronising organic pile of bile like a lot of people around here seem to worship. Why would anyone pay more than a few quid for one of these things. Makes me so angry. Louisa.

I vote for Irn Bru first, Tizer second and Cherry Coca-Cola third. Louisa.

Bubble n Squeak or Colcannon or whatever reginal variation, has always contained left over Sunday veg usually green cabbage carrot etc mashed with potato and burnt to within an inch of its life and smothered in salt. It's a breakfast tradition at my house. Beckenham is also the home to one of the largest Jedi communities in England and Wales (as per the 2001 census). And I once saw Katie Hopkins (my idol) perusing the aisles at M&S. Louisa.

I love Beckenham, good restaurants and pubs and the Odeon. Still not as good as Bromley though. Louisa.

This is when the game usually gets pretty polarised and nasty, however, on this occasion, I think a whole host of rather poor attempts have become so desperately predictable that we can see through them. Ah well guys, better luck next time. Louisa.

What about eggs? Scrambled, poached, fried, boiled or baked? Louisa.

Now if you said bacon I'd totally understand. But sausage? Who knows or cares what the filling is as long as the sawdust is well processed and seasoned to hide any other dubious tastes :) Louisa.

I don't get why people are so hung up on a posh josh sausage. Nothing wrong with a mostly bread and rusk sausage that's smothered in sauce. Opting for an expensive sausage will inevitably up the price of the whole breakfast, which to me destroys the down to earth nature of a fry up. Louisa.

I always love a holiday in Maspalomas cos there is a cafe I go to which does a full Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Ulster fry, and regional English breakfasts. All on the same menu! Ahh happy times. Louisa.

3/10. If you could improve on the spelling it might go somewhere. Louisa.

They come here, with their bad grammar, rude and pointless comments and generally put the reputation of EDF into disrepute. Louisa.

Hash browns are an American invader, but then so are baked beans, so how far back do we push regional Breakfast item traditions? As far back as Sir Walter discovering the potato in the Americas? Bubble and Squeak is a very traditional addition in a London fry up and always has been as far back as I can remember as a kid- i cant personally eat my fry up without this patticular potato product. Just as square sausages in Scotland, black pudding in Ireland and the north of England, and the curious Hog's pudding in Cornwall and Devon. I personally would rather fried bread than toast or hash browns anyday - but I'm just a believer in being a true all out unhealthy breakfast lover. Louisa.

Bubble n squeak smothered in HP sauce with runny fried egg on top with 3 rashers of crispy bacon and a slab of white bread and butter every time. Louisa.

:-O really is there any need for this filth!? Louisa.

Good example - what's on the two channels right now? BBC Three - new: festivals, sex and suspicious parents - Harry and Hannah go to their first festival experience. Originality 0/10 - pointlessly following two kids around a muddy field for their first concert. Yawn. BBC Four - Dancing in the Blitz: How world war 2 made British ballet - the birth of the royal ballet during a period of austerity. Originality 8/10 - unique and something you'd struggle to find anywhere else. The story of an institution. Louisa.

I miss Thames Television. Louisa.

I think he is being serious. Welcome to the forum Qaz123, and sorry to hear about your pre-dick-ament. Sorry. This may help. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Erectile-dysfunction/Pages/Introduction.aspx Louisa.
