haha I actually fell for that dog one and was thinking it was quite cruel! doh!

just be thankful it's not a vindaloo eating Great Dane!!

born in Mundania Court, lived briefly on Underhill, then Brenchley Gardens (not realy ED though), then Marmora and now Forest Hill!

assuming you're talking about the pie?! Yes, nice and hot served with loads of creamy mash!

M&S Beef & Ale pie with portobello mushrooms (think it's the Gastropub range). Best pie I've ever eaten!

Marmora Man, I used to live on Marmora road too (moved out in '06). There was a guy in his fifties/sixties with a Jack Russell (always yapping) and he used to let it crap everywhere, I know this as I have a dog and used to see him do it all the time when out walking with mine. He never took it to the park, just used to walk it locally, probably why the surrounding streets are full of his poo. Not saying that it's him but it's a possibility - you probably know exactly who this character is anyway!

oops!:-$

cheers!! xx

Thanks Lizzy - I only know it from the film with Whoopi Goldberg (before I knew it was a Stones record!)

happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, jjf is 29 todayyyyyyyyy, happy bithday to me. Jumpin Jack Flash will have a gas, gas, gas tonight! :)-D

buy her a hat and scarf and some gloves and turn the rads off! Save yourself a fortune.

probably be quite boring...no mother-in-law jokes for a start!

to be fair to them they hadn't met each other until their 20's. The American 'couple' both had significant others however!

..no not me! did anyone watch this on Channel 4 last night? Am I alone in feeling a litle bit sorry for that Scottish 'couple'?

A few ED references, was spotted in an ED pub apparently by a MySpace user but my work computer policy prohibits access to MySpace, Facebook etc.. Anyway, can't be bothered to investigate further! Richard Armitage (Robin Hood and The Vicar of Dibley's husband) goes to the Hamlet's Gym if that's of any interest!

right, off to google 'Patrick Kielty + East Dulwich' back in a sec...

I'm definitely taking part this year - I'll be there, watching it on the box from the comfort of my own sofa, leopard print blanket, jim jams and bacon sarnie.. However...I am doing the Run to the Beat Half Marathon at the O2 later this year - all to live music. Should be good. http://www.runtothebeat.co.uk/

The mother sounds completely stupid and ignorant and we wonder why a lot of kids nowadays grow up to be hooligans.

I accidently hit 'My Control Center' which showed me that I had made 99 posts since I registered over a year ago. Thought I'd make my 100th! Do I get a telegram from Mr Administrator now?
