MadWorld74

dunno how likely it is......i shudder to think

the fact that it was in my fridge, is just too much....and as for that drink Annasfield....I'm off the booze!

we thought it was in the ceiling to start with and before ripping that apart as well, we thought (lightbulb!) check behind the fridge. Maybe I'm being soft, but it's upset me. My stupid fault for trying to kill it in the first place.

your accordion playing really was bad wasn't it to actually kill a mouse. Impressive! Maybe you can come round and play in my garden to scare off any other pesky rodents that might be lurking. ;-)

quite clearly the wrong stuff!! it came IN to die instead of going OUT to die! some blue seed like things... (I was also horribly hung over, see Lucky 7's thread),so it was all a bit of a trauma....

oh no! I don't mind mice (not in a washing machine) but generally. But a f-ing huge big rat? We could smell it when we opened the fridge!

A few days ago I spied a large RAT in my back garden scampering about quite brazenly. I toyed with the idea of what to do about this rodent. I don't like to kill anything, even a filthy bloody rat. But, my sense got the better of my compassion and I put down some bait. Rat was gone. Job done. ? Then then worst stench that I have ever smelt started invaiding the house. Holy crap. After two days of ripping up floorboards and searching high and low, we eventually thought to pull out the fridge. The rat had somehow gotten into my kitchen (the only way it could have gotten in was by the back door like a fricking house guest!), the rat had gotten into my kitchen, round the back of the fridge and ONTOP OF THE MOTOR that works the refridgeration part of the unit. There it lay for two days, dead and being cooked by the heat of the motor. I am mortified. The smell was not of this world. My house is spotless and is even more spotless now. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I feel I'm going to have to eat out forever. If ever a rat could give the ultimate pay-back to a human, it was this rat.

Absolutely. I hate rude people. I've had a similar thing happen to me a long time ago. This guy who was studying with me asked if he could stay for a few weeks before he flew home to Norway, in my flat. One day I came home to find about 9 people in my lounge sprawled over the sofas, tv on, all smoking. They looked at me like I was the hired help when I walked through the door. How did I deal with it? I asked them all to leave. I turned off the TV, said it was my flat and how dare they take it over like it was their own place. 'Do you people have no manners?', seemed to do the trick as well. 'I said it was okay for you to stay but to invite stangers into myn home is not on'. Damn it, it's your place you keep some strength in that spinal cord of yours and do it for your kids if no one else. Pisstakers.

Stawbs, maybe the 'little girls' that come in and are shunned by your 'gang'....may want to be a part of your gang and are waiting for you to 'initiate';-) them into it.....

there's also a couple more drunks/street drinkers, that have appeared around the place. Quite forceful they are too. Walking with you up the street when you've already said 'no' more than twice. Edgy?

I just meant that ED over the years I have lived here has become more 'safe' (has many connotations) and less edgy than it was say, 3 years ago. That's just an observation on my part and why I think a Rainbow pub/bar will never take off.

You've never had to apply for a job before???? Are you of the landed gentry classes and just pretending youre not by living in East Dulwich in a one bed flat or something? You've never had to apply for a job before?...can you tell me how that's done and how one gets a job/work/earn money without having to actually apply for it? You've obviously got a hidden talent. Please! let me in on it.

if you go onto walkjogrun you can put in the postcode of ED (SE22 ***) and ask to search for routes that have been saved by other runners in the area. There are hundreds ranging from a quick jog round the park to a marathon route that someone has run and thought it enjoyable enough to put it on the web.

A gay bar in ED is a no goer. Don't wish to expand on why I say this, I just don't think it will ever take off.

Jimbob I too am on the antibiotics at the mo for a chest infection. Although I have in the past sunk just as much booze whilst on the pills as off them, I am giving my body a rest because they just won't work if mixed with the prescribed drugs. Antibiotics rob you of all bacteria good and bad. Alcohol robs the body of nutrients. So with those two factors put together, I would prehaps make an early exit at the wedding. Take the car, then you can't drink:))

Asset I can always count on you to be picky with my postings.....beer to me is a pint of ale or lager. 'Hey Asset, fancy going down the public house for an ale?' ...no because it sounds crap. A beer covers all booze.

SteveT youre a man after my own heart! A man that says alcohol is 'wholesome'....sigh again.....if only all blokes had your forward thinking outlook the world would be a much happier, drunken place. :)-D

I have already been down to Lucky 7's at The Gowlett, but the CPT is pretty much on my doorstep. Not that I'm lazy you hear! I'm not actually a beer drinker per se, but enjoy a cold something when the heat's up. Went into The Uplands for a laugh though, to see what beers they had on offer. Walked straight back out. Blokes in there were wearing 'I'm a spousal beater' tee shirts. Yikes. The type of beer that would be appreciated is the sort of stuff that Inside 72 used to sell in bottles. Not that it has anything to do with ED, so please don't all shout me down, but I went to The Clissold Arms in Fortis Green (North London!!) yesterday (incidently where The Kinks played their very first gig), and they had a truly amazing array of beers on tap. Sigh.

why not, as the bambino gets heavier it should be natural that the bloke takes over, after all the woman carries the child for nine months.....that's long enough! I saw Mr C.Ed today with his baby carrier and he looked perfectly at ease. Like going to the gym and lifting some weights.

If anyone (Keef) has any links to the owners of the above watering hole can you please on our behalf ask for a better choice on beer. Who the hell in their right minds drinks pissey Carling or Fosters? Please. You got the new swanky wall paper, now get some more lines!

shit. i was in the cpt. forgot where the drinks were. doh.

I visit this little gaff every day as I'm so thrilled it's on my doorstep. I hope they expand outside like Si Mangia. (and more plants/flowers outside as well might be nice) But I s'pose it's early days for the business yet, and dispite the fact that they are always busy, maybe they don't want to count their chickens yet.

Pete and Dud did it best.....on live radio

I wonder if Steven Patrick would consider marrying me? I'm sure Mr MW74 wouldn't mind.

i guess it's just me singing tonight the lyrics of the Master. Excuse me I will not torture you any more. I have forgiven in Jesus.
