I thought that's what forum drinks were for.

I too would be very interested in getting involved in a People's Supermarket. Count me in.

Regarding councils and road closures, all councils around the country are approached to waive the fee for road closures for the Big Lunch. If anyone's planning one for this year (still early yet, but early birds and all that) and having difficulty with the council, contact the Big Lunch for advice. I think East Dulwich is spectacularly well-connected and engaged as a community. Projects like SNUB, the fact that we're discussing a people's supermarket, Admin's incredible and tireless work (supported by the lovely moderators of course) bring the community together via this forum, and the huge number of activities that people get involved in. If people wanted to step it up a little, I agree with ClaireClaire, volunteering could be a way to go. Kids Company is a local charity that does outstanding work with the kind of disadvantaged young people who benefit the most from people showing they give a damn. They have mentoring schemes and volunteering work, ranging from working directly with the kids, to fundraising, to giving young mums a pampering treat, to a spot of decorating. And for those of you with a more cocktails n high heels state of mind, there's a Kids Company night at Mahiki later this month (flyer attached).

I'm having a meeting in Seamen's Hall.

For some reason, reading the forum tonight, I can't get this out of my head: Me, Myself and I

Fine sploshing Jah.

Just by the by, the standard response of adults to flashers should be to ignore them and walk away. And then report to the police. As louisiana saya, flashing can lead to more serious offences. Any response you give a flasher encourages them, as that's the reason they're doing it.

Haha, David - you calling me style over substance? You might have a point.

Well in that case, I'd also add that I think it looks pretty good too. When I have more money (and room) than sense, I might get myself one of these though...

I have one. It's handy for me as I don't really have room for something bigger (nowhere unobtrusive to put speakers). Sound quality is great to my entirely-untutored ears (but then I can't tell how rubbish the quality is in mp3 format) - but it can fill my flat pleasingly. Only caveat is that some of the remote control buttons died (fairly crucially the on/off and volume buttons). To be fair it was after 3 years of use, but annoying as hell when the unit itself has no buttons. That said, the very nice man in the shop sorted me right out gratis, so I can't really complain.

The babygro's going to quote Chomsky!

Phone customer services - get some free shit

Jonny Gowlett - a man so handsome that only a woman of impeccable artistic endeavour is worthy of him. The Cult, Beastie Boys, the Roman wall around Chester - all these are things of magnificence. Sir, I salute you.

And feel less deserted by the authorities.

Because drivers only obey traffic regulations when they think they're going to get caught and fined if they don't?

Thanks all. Louisiana, it's version 5.0.3, which means absolutely nothing to me, but I'll try what you suggested and see if that sorts it out.

Any mac geeks able to help me with a random issue? Safari keeps crashing on me, but only when I open facebook (which is doubtless telling me something). Had a perusal online and it suggested deleting internet plug-ins, but looking in my folder, I don't seem to have any. Any bright ideas?

The key bending, Sue. In your pocket. I was paying you a (clearly pretty opaque) compliment.

Belatedly read through this thread (in spite of posting). Clearly Sue = hot loins.

Heh, DJKQ, I never thought I'd see the day... ;-)

Chimps are one of the species of ape.

So James, it's probably on here somewhere, but this thread is 18 pages long, how do we stop this dastardly plan to open a new supermarket?

Hey Seany, me neither! Get out of town.
