I'd be there like a shot

I just thought you were a bit crotchety about something

Pre Catalan in Paris - especially in summer eating out under the (I think) chestnut trees in the Bois de Boulogne Second SeanMc on Les Halles in New York, although my behaviour last time I was there rather put a dampener on dinner And second Jah too, but showing off is fun, doubly so if required to eat amazing food to do so

am i a total loser in that not only did I read the elvish songs, but I also read (and enjoyed) the Silmarillion?

Sorry, take it back. Was just trying to redress the balance - some fine, fine men in ED

good point Sean, and actually some of the posts on the favourite expressions thread provoked similar thoughts. fact is, some of the mums in east dulwich really piss me off with being so gorgeous and fragrant, and on my very best days I can only aspire to being like them. in the interests of equality, I'd like to say that I think a lot of the guys I see in ED are punching well above their weight: Rifleman, no idea if you're the hottie exception that proves the rule...

arsewinking - for something that is so excruciatingly awful it physically makes your rectum clench Honaloochie, going back a fair few posts, I take your "cuntbollocks" and raise you "cuntybollocks" - for some reason the extra "y" makes me laugh more

suspect it does have something to do with the school too - my private school: pretty low proportion of wankers; private school up the road: terrifically high proportion of wankers. Think it all comes down to an over-developed sense of entitlement, whether that's imbued by the parents or the school, it leads to a lack of respect for others and general massive wankerdom in adulthood

(only shorter on the ee - I did study phonetics as part of my degree, but buggered if I can remember any of it)

Luckily I'm her boss, so I said no. But this leads me to the inevitable conclusion that all parents are evil. When I bloody moved to East Dulwich, it was full of single people. However, unlike me, they have moved on with their lives and procreated and now have children with floppy hair and silly names. So not only do the grown ups run over my feet with their bumble bee prams, but little Maximillion gets a table before me in the Bishop when I am hungover and in need of a meaty breakfast because his parents are so bloody organised they reserved a table. B@stards! Brendan, I suspect you might be right...

You're probably very right, and thus far I've been crap and not made it to any drinks in spite of my best intentions. Roll on May 9th - and may all my illusions be shattered...

BB, if it's not too personal a question, how did you know which size to buy? Have often looked and wondered about that. I am approximately 8% less productive at work. I do smile more at people in the street (but only ED environs) and I often see people in bars whom I immediately assume must be a particular forumite. I have visited the cafe on Peckham Rye, but realised my horrible mistake in being hideously hung over and not having children. I have developed secret crushes on certain forumites.

what, not even menses?

yes it did - proper old school Blue Oyster style - wandered in inadvertently one night as it was the only place still open to get a drink. my two male friends had to kiss each other to prove they were gay so we could get in. I've never seen anything more chaste, and clearly neither had the bouncers, but they let us in anyway, out of pity I think

I'll give you 20 denarii

did anyone ever go when it was the Old Father Redcap?

I do like the idea of dames and broads running amok in ED. next thing you know there'll be a moyder, and Philip Marlowe will be rocking up. Hmm, now THERE's a man (other thread)

me and McNulty (the wire) doing bad things on the naughty step

nah, very big fan of David Tennant as Dr Who - he'd top my list every day. Although Wentworth Miller scales new heights of deliciousness
