  1. How about Euphanisms that we like??? "Just going to turn my bike round" is a fave of mine as is "Dropping the kids off at the pool and sending them off with a wave" BTW I agree with Bob - what's wrong with Minge all of a sudden ffs?
  2. I knew already ffs!
  3. Well there is only one place for a Sunday Roast in this area and if people aint found it now then they never will. Veggie is not an option though but c'est la vie! Jah - I fluctuate throughout the year in agreeing and disagreeing with your sentiment. Sometimes I prefer home cooked, and I LOVE making it, but lately my hatred of washing up has seen me in the pub for dinner the last 3 Sundays and I thoroughly loved it!
  4. I liked it. My missus bought some fantastic stilton and we chatted with all the stall holders who were all lovely and friendly. We bought some books for our baby and altogether were v impressed. Shame it is not 50 times bigger cos I think ED would benefit from a Greenwich style market! Well done all involved!
  5. How much does it cost? ANyone enlighten me?
  6. I am sad to say that "Egging" was the staple diet of my childhood and is in fact a hillarious prank. Nowadays of course I see it as a crime punishable by very slow and extrememly painful torture.
  7. We walk with the Pram too! HA! It's a bugaboo to boot. Admittedly we are only walking from Abbotswood but taking the car is not an option on a Saturday. Half the time you cannot even cross the road cos it's so busy with traffic. Another reason for not driving is that a Saturday trip to LL almost always (before the bundle of joy came along) ended up in a little session in the boozer, and driving back with double vision was never really that easy! ;) Hic!
  8. wOOOt! I am really looking forward to it's opening as I do not live on Zenoria St and am a selfish sod, so here's hoping all goes well for Saturday!
  9. So is it opening on Saturday or not ffs?
  10. PMSL only in East Dulwich could someone get that angry about an Estate Agent!
  11. I was in the Glades car park in Bromley and it was announced over the tannoy! Nice touch I thought!
  12. Marvelous! I look forward to popping down there next Saturday!
  13. Did this happen? Did I miss anything?

    British teeth

    At the school dentist, back in the 70s, both myself and my sister had an experimental treatment carried out on us which involved our teeth being coated with a kind of protective covering. This treatment was pulled after about 200 people had it done as it was extortiantely expensive. Over 30 years later neither mus sister (aged 40) or me (37) have ever had a filling or tooth decay, despite consuming the usual sugary crap all kids do! One of my teeth did fall out once after a heavy night of clubbing in the early 90s (I must of been grinding them too much) but still not one jot of tooth decay!
  15. I would love to see Bullet Baxter in ED. He was the finest thing about Grange Hill!
  16. I am moaning about the Rye!
  17. Disappear to Greece and never be seen again! BLISS!
  18. Errrrrr what the f**k? That's me in the picture!! I need to have a word with the wife ffs!
  19. Be very careful. 5 and a half years ago a new redhead walked into my office. We are now married and have just had our first child. This is just an example of how cooing over a redhead can change your life.
  20. Overpriced toss hole with the rudest staff in London if you ask me but then I am biased having had one of the snooty stuck up bar staff interupt a table of my friends to ask one of them to settle a bar bill from a previous evening that she PRESUMED was hers. If embarrasing my friend in this way was not enough she then proceeded to hound her round the pub. I, quite happily, have not been back since and do not intend to.
  21. We had none last night (might have something to do with the doorbell being disconnected) normally have a few over here in Abbotswood!
  22. Yep - thanks for that - welling up again now! I really need to pull myself together!

Now it's all form filling, statistic returns and filling out action plans instead of actually doing the bloody work. The creativity is being blead out of the work. It's a real shame. My most boring job was as a credit controller / statistical analyser for a massive insurance company (Zurich Insurance). There were only 2 days a month where I had any work to do, the rest of the time I used to play chess against a 1992 model IBM PC. Dull as arse! Luckily I got sacked and moved to London to be unemployed in Peckham - a much better career option.
  24. Bastard Radio 2 played In the living Years as I was driving home for lunch yesterday and caused me to drive through ED bawling my little eyes out! Pathetic! Exit Music for a Film (Radiohead) always gets me and "I Try" by Macey Gray (only cos I listened to it every day driving down to hospital to see my dying dad! Kind of apt some of the lyrics in that tune - like "Goodybye and I choke" amd "My world crumbles when you are not here" Jeees I need to cheer up ffs!
