Au contraire Rose21. Subject and object innit.

And cunts who say that.

"on" the weekend

Just not after midnight, eh Frankie?

Arf - today we are as one katie - my thoughts on the exclamation marks too.

Mistress Moos, one thing I would sternly demand that you do, is enjoy yourself. CHRISTMAS is fricking awesome and I insist that you not get stressed and miss all the fun . DO NOT spend it slaving away in the kitchen on your own - if cooking is something you love, Christmas dinner can be a joy - if not, then it's a hot, steam-obliterating-your-make-up, gravy-down-your-best-dress, high-stress thankless nightmare. While other people are having all the fun. So make it easy on yourself - do as much as possible in advance (ahh, the freezer - Saint Delia will show you what can be done ahead of time and frozen) and if there's anything you can't be arsed making, but rather fancy, then buy it from M&S. If you've got a massive glorious hunk of aberdeen angus, no one's going to notice anything else that much anyway. Apart from the roast potatoes that is, but they're easy. Gravy's a faff - home made is delicious and worth the effort - but buy some as stand-by just in case you're too squiffy to drain the boiling hot oil off the roasting pan and deglaze with a nice madeira. Get yourself a pretty pinnie, have a mimosa or two for breakfast, pull a cracker, hide the packets in the bin, and have yourself a wombling merry Christmas.

What are you talking about katienumbers?

I fricking love Christmas, let me tell you. I'll happily talk about it til the cows come home (and apologies for my flippant initial response, sometimes the badness just takes me). White lights would be great, much prettier than the technicolor nightmare so often foisted on British high streets. But I have to say that I can't honestly remember what the ED Christmas lights look like. One thing I'd really like to see is mulled wine / cider and boozy hot chocolate available on the lane / Northcross. Everyone's a winner - a nice warming drink for the shoppers, and shoppers disinhibited by drink for the shopkeeps. It may just be me, but I get rather more flamboyant in my purchases after a drop or two.

I might be being daft, and if someone threw a bottle at me from a passing car, I'd be frothing with rage so you have my sympathies, but I still can't grasp any obvious racial motive. To my mind, your outfit smacks as much of Old Compton Street as it does of the EDL. Maybe he was homopphobic.

Really? REALLY?? Or was he just messing with you? Strafer's a wrong'un and no mistake, but I'm quite partial to a bit of Earl. Please don't ruin it for me.

Prawns. Someone once said to me that I wouldn't eat them if they lived on land - imagine one running out from under the sofa. Now every time I go to eat them, I imagine them running out from under the sofa. Sometimes that bothers me (so I say it to everyone else too, to bother them). Edited - missing a bracket

alwaysFN = irony free zone I'm pretty sure that KK was suggesting that's what you were saying. Your ridiculous trolling seems to be getting in the way of anything approaching intelligence or insight.

Now MrBen, don't go claiming things for yourself that just aren't true. Fur coat no knickers doesn't belong to the Scots (you don't remember Lilo Lil clearly - did you never watch Bread?) And no one's arguing for Scott's pizzas. Pretty much everyone, except Otta with his terrible taste, has said Gowlett. Accept that on this one, you're not the dangerous outsider fighting against the tide. ;-)

He likes a dirty kebab more.

I rather like Ethiopian food. But then I haven't had it in Ethiopia.

That's cos you eat ready meals Otta (ergo, don't know what good food is).

It depends how you like your pizzas. Gowlett bases are thin and crispy - generally all-round delicious and undoubtedly my favourite. However (and I say this with much much love) the chef's special is bonkers and cornichons have no place on a pizza. Stick to the others and you'll be reet. Or if you like meat and pickles, try that one and see how you fare. The mushroom is superior to any I've had elsewhere, as is the pepperoni. Actress is good - an altogether doughier base, but nicely crisped on the outside. I rather like the potato pizza and make a similar recipe myself, but for me, it's gotta be the chilli beef and Lord of the Hundreds. So tasty that you don't mind when the middle flops and drops tomato sauce all down your front.

That's exactly it, brilliant, thanks MelC. (Incidentally, loving your new look in the Observer magazine this week ;-) ) For anyone else who hasn't seen them, well worth a gander. They look ace.

Has anyone clocked the url at the bottom of the portraits that are currently adorning the boards and corrugated metal of Rye Lane? The pictures are rather lovely, and I assume a response to the riots. Would be interested to find out more, but was sitting on the wrong side of the bus to read the url.

29) Flouncing should be done full force, with vim and vigour, leaving a you-shaped hole in the wall. If you haven't told someone to fuck off, it doesn't count as a flounce. 29.1) Return from flounce is an altogether more subtle affair, involving Word Games and Drawing Room threads

17.1) Subjects of forum crushes will inevitably turn out to be not as good looking as in your fevered dreams (except Hughie ;-). Oh, and *Bob* if the rumours are to be believed.) Hence "crushed and devalued".

13) You cannot out-wiki Huguenot 14) Misplaced apostrophe's will irk some (quite a few) people

Not even satisfying to throw because they're all woolly and lack density and don't go splat. I mean seriously, WHY? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
