If you're a Southwark resident you can use it free all day Friday and afternoons Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes I swim three times a week and just pay for one day off peak (?4.40), so average ?1.47 a swim. Over-60s get more discounts; not sure what they are but if it applies to you perhaps you can get away without a membership.

Very sad news. I always enjoyed his posts and learned a lot from them.

Definitely not a fox if it's only been the once. I had to get a new doormat after they started using it as a comfort stop, no amount of bleach put them off.

There is, or was, a sub post office between Sunray Ave and Greendale.

Hm. Yesterday was the summer solstice. Perhaps an ancient druidic rite to mark the turn in the season towards autumn and harvest, with an offering of personal fertiliser?

Didn't you post this survey already?

Not sure but they had the look of parents whose offspring are sitting A levels. You know: 'I've invested nearly half my life getting them to this point and if I can just get them airborne I may get my life back.'

Is it the time that fledglings start flying lessons? This week the cycle path between Greendale and Sainsbury's is slower going than usual with adult birds throwing themselves heroically in front of your wheels.

Sounds familiar. Female blackbird alarm call? Found this; hope link works.

Really, RH, that's silly and tedious. You posed a hypothetical situstion and asked me to respond; I gave an answer based on that hypothesis using the conditional tense. I know you have a track record of blowing up arguments out of very little and keeping it up till everyone else has gone home, but surely even you can see the distinction, not least given that it was you who dreamt up the hypothetical argument? You really are exasperating sometimes. No doubt you'll need to say something else to have the final word as usual. Fine with me, but please do read the posts first.

That was how it came across but apologies if that wasn't your intention. Bit weary of all the unpicking and trying to turn it into more than it was so I'll leave it to you to have the final word.

I don't think that's a genuine question, is it; more a passive-aggessive use of Socratic irony to 'prove' me wrong. You're welcome to use this thread to sound off about all women but, for the biological reasons above, it would be less true than of men, and as you're a man and therefore speaking from a position freighted with the historical power and privilege of masculinity it would tend to come across as misogyny.

Pagoda or pergola? I'd love to think it's the first one. There's the timber place just up from ED station, Gibbs & Something, is it?

True, just less of a problem than with men as all your lovely pheromones, relatively larger size and unshaven body parts tend to make for a stronger and more far-reaching smell. Imagine what it must have been like in the old days when many people bathed once a week and washed hair less often, along with damp woollen clothing, hair oil, before dental floss and everyone smoking.

The conversation had moved on, as conversations do.

Yes, if you're single and sleeping alone. If conjugal rights are on the agenda you need both. Women love a man who's clean and smells of nice soap.

This is the irrational rage thread so don't expect scientific evidence! 'Grubster' is probably one of those words families make up for themselves when bathing small children, and then you just keep using them.

Is there a function on at the Crown & Greyhound? Seems to involve a microphone so not just a normal party, and it can't be the cycling event at the Velodrome as although that's been very loud for the last three days it stopped at 9pm.

It was a very unpleasant bus journey. That said, I'm constantly surprised how many younger guys clearly spend a lot of time on hair and clothes before going out but stink like foxes so apparently skip an important step.

If you don't want to cut them (not sure I could do that) you can just drop them in a bucket of hot water, or salty/bleachy water.

To anyone living in central London, or even SE or SW low numbers south of the river, this is surely suburbs - zone 2/3 borders, reachable only by bus and overground, most of it built since 1900. Inner suburbs these days perhaps, but you couldn't call it inner city or urban.

Given the new CEO of the Dulwich Estate was involved in the development of Borough Market, a Gregg's seems unlikely, J&B. Isn't there supposed to be a little Waitrose in the plan, or was that a wind-up as well?
