Robert Poste's Child

I once saw someone from a local butcher's do that as they walked out of the newsagent's that was next door at the time. Ever since I've felt uneasy about how that attitude might translate into hygiene at work and he's still there so I think it every time I go in. Strange how one individual act several years ago still colours how I see their business.

I re-read the OP and realised that as I'm in Southwark my comment wasn't very helpful, sorry. According to the Lambeth page on what can't be recycled: Shredded paper Becomes tangled in the sorting machinery at the materials recovery facility. Please only shred personal information. Shredded paper can be used as pet bedding or placed into compost bins. Otherwise place it into your refuse bin from where it will be used to generate electricity

You don't need to go as far as buying the bagpipes. Just tell the neighbour that you've decided to switch and I'm sure they'll quickly come round to your point of view.

Is the idea that after a few nights of listening to a beginner playing bagpipes the neighbour will realise the saxophone wasn't so bad after all?

They take mine. I just put it in a bag inside the blue recycling bin. I checked with a passing binman and he said it was OK.

I don't mind rocket, but kale is like eating thistles. I hope it's good for you because eating it's no fun whatsoever.

All the Christmas stuff appearing in the shops since mid-September. Haven't actually heard any carols yet but I'm getting an irk on just thinking about it.

It's the British way.

Mornington Crescent.

Have you tried 185 to Oval, Northern line to Leics Sq?

You don't have to read them. I feel the same about football and golf.

You're a better person than I am. The final version of that wedding video gave me such a sicky feeling I couldn't finish it.

Just another day. I made meatballs. Could easily have been hamburgers if I'd pressed a bit harder.

My total lack of self-control where chocolate's concerned.

None of the above, just a slightly battered middle-of-the-road hybrid, bit like its owner!

You're right, they cling on thanks to out-of-towners overwhelmed by a trip up to London or looking for something all the family can eat. Steakhouses were fashionable in the mid to late 70s, when the steak (complete with sauce of choice) was preceded by a prawn cocktail and followed by black forest gateau, and a salad bar was a novelty. You could be right about the retro reinvention thing, too. Last night in Brixton I saw someone out for the evening in Dexy's dungarees with one strap off the shoulder and a pair of plimsolls. I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my bike.

Likewise Garfunkels. In the early stages of a new relationship, if a man suggests meeting there you know you're doomed to a dull future if you stick with him.

There's now a new man running the PO counter. He told me this afternoon that he's been put in on a temporary basis and doesn't know how long it'll stay open for. Wonder if they could find room for it in the library? I suppose security is an issue with a PO though perhaps the police camping out there could help. Apparently if you can't face the PO queues further down LL or in the village there's another off Casino Ave that's never busy.

I mentioned this on the new shop thread recently. Today the guy who's still there told me the PO will be there until the end of the year but not sure how that will work if they're refitting for new tenants for the main shop.

But Croydon also has Croydon, so that's out.

The bee's not as bad as the crapping rat on Bellenden Road. Hoping the yellow will mellow as times passes.

Where IS he?
