This thread is dead Move y' bin along Numbers, the hearse needs to park and load the casket

Thank you pibe's It felt like i'd been fingered by MI6 for a while there Now where were we ?

Yeah, let Louisa give us a break And a parking space, all of which she has the power to do Sheeeesch !

TheCat - I absolutely appreciate that SOME people like me take advantage of a grey area such as this (or black if the street is tarmac and not concrete) Yes there will always a selfish person like me out there who thinks it's acceptable to reserve spaces for their convenience. That's absolutely right and i'll shout you and everyone else down if you don't agree, i'll even resort to "la la la i've got my fingers in my ears" if you persist But in terms of your point about common decency being a two way street. Well if you stand on that two way street long enough , Ill plough into you on my way to "MY SPACE" sadly some people in this world are ultimately ignorant and fail to move themselves in the face of an oncoming speeding car which i'm driving. Well get into someone else's shoes, you lemon. The elderly woman who's lost her husband and been forced to move into a bin , but not outside of my house, oh no MY BIN WAS THERE FIRST. She can move into HER space outside her home for example. I know a "note to self" would help - and in future I will do that and it may have a different hallucinatory effect. I just cannot understand anyone else's point of view & how anyone could have the sheer audacity to have one and remove a bin. It just dumbfounds me. SJ - this is absolutely madly unfathomably AM I TALKING TO MYSELF HERE serious I have no reason to take a rise out of people who make it their online currency to be confrontational with me because I make it my online currency to be confrontational with them and have opposing opinions to them. It's a lame get out clause but i'll use it anyway. I am the innocent party here is what i tell myself, do not forget, I was the one inconvenienced by half an hour and thats a whole 30 minutes , but who cares in the end as i've wasted longer on here than that by a country mile. And even if I wasn't- it's just the lack of morality and hot water and a parking space. So many people in ED slip into immorality or the bath, but not me on that day, on a daily basis and frighteningly do not even see when they are doing it! Bizarre. tfwsoll - no RED cars in London? So basically, we say, let's not own a RED car, that way one couldn't park IN MY SPACE EVER AGAIN .What about visiting people from the continent with RED or pretentious Rouge cars are they banned from using them here as a result? If no one owns a RED car in a city the size of London the knock on effect to the economy would be catastrophic and the RED paint industry would dry up, literally. Think of all the unsold RED vehicles? Think of the strain it would put on an already crowded public transport network of RED BUSSES? I think on this one I'm onto a winner. No RED car ownership in London would lead to the demise of a great city but preserve MY non existent parking space And that's all that counts. I SAID THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS Louisa.

A puffed out boiler vs a funeral On the slippery moral slide that we're playing on, i'd say the funeral wins Mind you, as an emergency ? then the boiler might pip the corpse (coz he's cold already). However, a leaky boiler isn't a 999 emergency is it, really that would be silly. Almost up there with a cat stuck in a tree Louisa as you're in a minority of 1, i'd say you've lost this one Nice try, but time for you to concede

Plus your boiler breaking down was an inconvenience, not an emergency, unless it was a life and death situation.

Ha ha ha...you actually believe in your own grandiose scheme, and i'm intrigued by the whole possession of space thing And now someone's popped your little bubble, you're exasperated but too belligerent to put your hands up and say "OMG, what was i thinking with the bin", which is even funnier Still, now you're clear about the boundaries and CPZ, you can mentally roll back your land grab and join the masses It's way classier and free or FREE if that helps

Always nice in here http://www.geoffreyharris.com Try 20th century Modern in Crystal Palace and Jerry at i.d for quality vintage fittings. Even Bambino on Church Street have a few items worth a look Not too pricey either

Indeed Arthur Plus, the fatties at the bus stop need somewhere to lean on Mind you, vats of delousing fluid could be strapped onto the railings

Well yesterday on 'Yesterday' they had the guy from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre trying to find Dr Death Aribet Heim . After years of persuit it turns out he died in Egypt, but no body or bones to be tested. And 2 million euro in a German bankaccount untouched Of course he'd be 94 by now, so finding him alive is slim, but a great programme it was BBC3 was shite

The Badger bakery scored low I seem to remember, look what happened to that place Mind you it scored low on pretty much everything Is it missed ? Nope !

BBC3 was past it before it really got there However, as we're in TV land, i'm rather partial to 'Yesterday' which is great for Nazi hunters and stuff like that Of course that 'stuff' is solo watching, my other half looks and groans silently when she see's what i'm watching "At least it's not Dave" I feebly plead as she heads upstairs But leave BBC4 well alone please

Just found this on The Guardian website ... and then slap a Bad Regional Ad in here like this ... "You haven't had any accounts of bad regional ads from the south," writes Tom Morton. "Please allow me to redress the balance. I'm still haunted by an ad for the Yeovil Sheepskin Shop, a sheepskin shop in, um, Yeovil, which ran on TVS in the 1980s. There was no action in the commercial, merely a series of photos of the exterior and interior of the shop, and an inexplicably jolly voiceover detailing the parking facilities. The ad ended on a high note with the endline: The Yeovil Sheepskin Shop. It's Well Worth A Visit." ... but let's hope that never happens, though, because that would be shoddy.

In Sussex you had ad's for The Yeovil Sheepskin Centre Lots of cutaways and people posing in dodgy car dealer sheepskin All the fonts were in that Ye Olde style Overdubbed with "the Yeovil sheepskin centre" repeatedly Arg, it still haunts me

Oh lord yes, you're in the Bermuda Triangle that is Sydenham, Forrest Hill and that bit by Horniman It's utterly dead, good luck with a signal booster, but don't hold your breath

Mind you, i'm sure you put a written note explaining the purpose of that bin You did didn't you, of course you did Else why would someone be so knowingly selfish I do actually park my trade vehicles way up our road, the bit where nobody else wants to park. Sometimes though on a Saturday I need to move them near mine to load/unload Just rattling your cage 10 points to me *ding-ding*

My silly neighbour has the same 'thing' about parking his car/s outside his house. I've explained to him that his boundary doesn't extend to the street, he's not good at taking that fact on board though So now i've invented a game where I park there as often as I can. A full car or pick-up or occasionally my transit across the whole property gets a 10. There after it decreases in points as the space misses his house A royal flush is where all three of my vehicles are parked in a row. Him and his other half wait by the window to see if the spaces become free, I even caught him rolling the car back into a space in the dark, so nobody could park there. When his other half came home she rang him and he moved his car forward again It's such a fun game that if I want to go out i'll get into my car, as if i'm about to go out and start it. he'll then jump up to move into the space, (he doesn't know he can be seen through his glass door) at which point i'll kill the engine and change vehicles, usually into my pick-up truck up the road. As I pass he'll usually be at the window muttering. I've informed him of my point scoring system btw Lastly, it's a public space, so get over it

Agree about the cafe in/on the Rye, but the breakfast is good. For a trad cafe I like The Oak in Honour Oak. It's good, clean and fresh

I steam my chicken before it gets stir fried or curried Turn chunks in a little oil, then plonk it in the steamer. It stays really white and tender

Badoit for a hangover Tizer as a child A can of Lilt once in a while
