MrsClive3300

I know! i have spoken to more people today just wandering the streets and in the park than I have in 8 years of living here! It's brilliant

Dulwichmum worked? Oh my goodness, i need to sit down

Yes, the only time of year I like to celebrate being aussie - just spent ?25 in Australia shop in covent garden on timtams, monte carlos and cheezels.....

*Bob* - I think I love you. Really I guess thats my vice

Fuschia - I have received a letter from Audiology as well with an appt for my son - I have never made an appt for my son to go to there..... Its so strange, we will go though, maybe they are just offering to all children?

From the topic of roadworks on LL...... Posted by: James 28 August, 2008 10:36 Can someone tell me what a 'decent' person is? As opposed to, say, an indecent person? Posted by: Pierre 28 August, 2008 10:47 A "decent" person is "us". An "indecent" person is "them". Posted by: *Bob* 28 August, 2008 11:04 Here's 'an indecent person'... pic Anything to declare, Sir? (Sorry dont know how to copy the picture in so its in the message...)

yes he did but he loves all that stuff anyway! I think its really good that you have to learn all about the country you would like to be a citizen of and that they have a proper ceremony to mark the occasion - it really feels like you are part of the country and the community which is great. Thanks for your good wishes xx

MrClive3300 was made a british citizen today (yay only taken 9 1/2 years) and I just wanted to say how excellent the whole experience was. It was held in the town hall (in Peckham) - the mayor spoke about the rights and responsibilities of being British and gave an excellent speech about our Borough. How its the most ethnically diverse in London, how the council owns 60% of housing, how its the most historical borough in London etc etc. I think there were about 29 different nationalities of people who were becoming British and the whole experience was so moving (I sobbed the whole way through it... possibly due to being pregnant as well) The Mayor was available for everyone to take pictures with afterwards and to ask all sorts of questions at the end and the whole experience made me very proud to be British

Like HeidiHi, I too had a tear, actually 2 of them rolling down my face reading this post (pregnancy hormones??) I'm very glad you are ok that you managed to get to hospital in time.

Try Petitou in Peckham Rye, 63 Choumert Road. Great coffee and fab pastries, cakes etc.....yum I think unfortunately coffee is a 'new' thing in the UK, having lived here for 8 years, its definately got better, but there is still a long way to go. I can never understand how people can get it so wrong - there are only 3 ingrediants! Often it tastes crap because the milk or the coffee are burnt, or there isnt enough coffee in the drip bit (sorry pregnant brain cant remember what its called)

Sorry Giggirl - have just re-read the title and agree it would be shocking as we have really not seen must of his abs. Sadly as well in the new film, there's not a trunk scene in sight. Agree with the product placement comments, very gratutious virgin atlantic advertising... also, cant remember (pregnant brain) if it was in QofS or Goldeneye where a car drove through all the perrier bottles on a truck - what was funny about that was they were in a really really rundown area not likely to selling said product

well we watched Golden Eye the night before - it was so camp its no wonder Austin Powers was invented. I was worried there would be no humour or sarsastic wit in the new one, but M was brilliant as always - she is just cool isnt she!

Went to see last night with MrClive3300, was slightly nervous that I wasnt going to love it because it was supposedly too action. However I thought it was great and how hot is Olga? My only comment was that i was feeling a bit car sick with some of the jerky filming, but apparently thats all part of the film according to husbie

sorry I started this thread and then didnt check back till now! no i didnt call the police. I think from what I saw it was them fighting each other - not 'end of year screeching' to be honest (i know this is going to be very unpopular) i would rather they were fighting amongst themselves and not attacking the rest of us, I too think they are animals and wish they could all be locked away so i dont have to see them

i know it looked so awful and such mob mentality - I dont want to start a big arguement on here but in my experience its the girls that are worse than the boys at their age - what is wrong with them??

Did anyone else see or get their ears shattered by those awful screaming girls at the station last night on their way home? Its so good when they have police at the station when you get off, of course they werent there last night....

Went to the Herne yesterday for the first time - there was 3 families with toddlers. Was somewhat sceptical given all the feedback here. So this is what we experienced: When we sat down (which was about 12.45pm) a waitress came over with a wooden spoon with a number - said they didnt have any spare bottles to put it in so we would just have to put it in the table. Thats fine. One of the guys in our group went to get a menu (twice) from the bar but was told there were none available at the time and to come back. When the waitress was near our table we finally got her attention and she said that if there were no menu's available then that meant the kitchen was closed until it was less busy. There seemed to be no sense of order as to where the menus where or when they were 'allowed' to give them out (and a thought that always springs to mind is why do they have to take them back - especially drinks menu's? surely they have enough to go round....) Eventually though, we got to order and they managed to bring out the children's meals first and our meal's shortly after. Food was fine, puddings were delish and all things considered, once the menu issue was resolved actually a pleasant afternoon.

wine is such a personal thing though, i have usually enjoyed the wine at green and blue but MrClive3300 is not the hugest fan and he can spend considerable amounts on wine. The lovely Ms CamberwellOz might have some recommendations if you ask her nicely.... mmmm chablis.....

yes can anyone explain to me why they need to constantly dig up the roads - if its not thames water, its british gas, or the digital tv people - surely it would be far more effective to agree when the road is already lifted to do everything all at once?

is it wrong that i laughed out loud when i saw that picture - sorry mr administrator back on topic of LL roadworks
