Giggirl, you should not fib at any time of day, let alone in between the first and second alarms. I'm giving up posting..... .........letters that is.

Just an observation; Tuesday 3rd Feb was one of the snow days. Lots of people off work and enjoying themselves in the park before settling down to tea and toast and session on the Forum. And there was me thinking that the heaviest posting came from workplaces.

I actually think it's the other way round Anna: teenagers who are having sex tend to listen to more music with bawdy lyrics. Can't prove it mind.

If he is only barred from the Issues/Gossip section we'll have to watch our sorry arses in the Lounge. He might huff and puff at us in there.

Sue, I guess that at nigh on 26 thousand views and 800 posts on this thread that there is a smidgen of interest out there. Probably in a I'm-completely-indifferent-to-celeb-culture-but-to-amuse-you-bunch-of-proles-thought-I'd-mention-that-I-saw-what's-his-face-out-of-The Bill-buying-binliners-in-Farmers sort of way.

But its not our one; ours is at least twice the man....

Hey, who you calling older?

I think you mean ".....put down a can of beer to drop the ball."

Andy - in the future why not start your thread by stating what happened to you and then asking for other people's experiences of the same cafe. That way you still might have a tiny sausage in your sandwich but you wouldn't have egg on your face.;-)

Hey Brum, I never gave you permission to photograph me, let alone post it on the interweb!

Been listening to this a hell of a lot lately. "I haven't been myself of late..."

No Michael, its cricket as in, "the bowler's Holding the batsman's Willey...." type cricket.

candj, yes but my posting is in the service of general Forum knowledge - just so as everyone knows. So who is speaking c or j?/ Huguenot, when you coming back to East Dulwich?

DM I imagine you'd look fetching in Demi Moore's "GI Jane" kit. Shaved head, Combats, 18 hole DMs. I hear Harrods do a nice line in designer wigs.

candj. "c and j" or "can dj"?

bigbadwolf = bigteddybear.

I know one of the teachers who works at FHB and she vouches for the fact that Peter Walsh is one special guy. Happy retirement to him.

Poppylucky - do you mean Ratty at Sainsbury's: no surprise as he only lives round the corner.

I'm actually pining a little for Amazing Grace.

Those coffee jugs you get at conferences: twist to top to find the right position for pouring and risk the whole thing falling off as you pour or look like a nerd and take the top off completely in the first place.

Is it now "big bad-as-in-good wolf"?

Can just imagine the tension in Quids' mind as he spends the evening trawling the various threads and, as he grinds away trying desperaately to compose a witty rejoinder, knowledgable quip or articulate point he notices that one thread has reached its 99th post and so, with a nifty bit of mousework, and nimble fingering, he types '100' and posts. cue self-congratulatory grin.

I know this whole business might seem to get overcomplicated at times but you always must consider the ramifications of your actions. Stating the colour of the girls in the original post had no actual purpose. The only people who might need that info are the police themselves or perhaps the car owner (or their relatives or friends). The OP could have provided that information by PM if the car owner asked. For the rest of us, we absolutley do not need to know. The OP actually stated that the girls may not have been the perpetrators of the crime but, naturally, in the minds of many regular or casual readers of the forum they will ever be associated with the crime. The forum is open to the public - it's not a cosy chat between friends and neighbours, even though at times it might seem top be that way.

Funny that, flapjack, I wondered what it was that I scrapped off the sole of my boot when I got home earlier.

Do you mean it is a refuse truck or smply a really bad one? certainly a rubbish road surface.
