Oh, Jah, you temptress. We should start another book on "can-Keef-be-persuaded-to-go-to-the-pub-after-a-heavy-weekend"? ?10 says he does.

Like you, Jah, never been a fan of horror/chiller type film. Pretty much refuse to watch them much to the annoyance of Mrs CitED who is a fan. Just think that my imagination is rather too suggestable that even the poorest of B-movie horrors give me the willies. Oh, torture scene from "Pans." is look away time, but that horrible ghoul guarding the feast from the same film is creepy in the extreme.

And that swim by Adlington was the an example of timing, par excellence. Watch it on the BBC website. Still cannot actually see her pip the American girl because it was done by such an infinitesimal margin. Magnificent. Enjoy that one Muffintop?

Sick-notes not necessary, giggirl, just beer and chocolates for the re-match. Would be nice to have you along next time - especially as someone who can recognise the true sentiment of "Born in the USA". Keep rocking.

Princess Diana was killed in a routine traffic accident. Yours, Mr Al Fayad

Had a lovely time with those pesky Assetites yesterday. Yes, Moos we'd be up for it again, when summer returns (as if you cannot remember those balmy days in late July, or are you just being typically oh-so-English about the weather?) Just give us a shout. Giggirl, you lightweight, you could have come along in t-shirt and flip-flops - that's if Blahnik makes any flip-flops.;-)

Couple of weeks ago we saw Sarah-Jane Honeywell (Children's BBC) walking down the street in Forest Hill. Said hello and my little boy got a kiss from her.

Your suggestion for place is fine. See you later. 2.30 OK?

Moving this up. The weather is set fair. The place is Dulwich Park, in the kiddie park, on the grass in the bit with the spider web climbing frame. Because Asset said so. I'll get there for around 2.30 - unless there is another suggestion. See you there.

Thinking a lot today..... Ben Folds Five - Army

Alan, Thanks - just watched episode one - brilliant.

I have just finished reading "Bit of a Blur", Alex James' (the bassist from Blur) autobiog and have started on "Strangeland" by Tracey Emin. Since I hadn't finished a book for about three years before this, I think biography is the way forward for me for a while. Would welcome any suggestions for other biographies.

Using sporting brilliance as a measure of racial characteristics is a flawed concept, however much it generates debate. It would be more instructive to look at averages. Sports people are not normal representatives of their race, they are highly trained and finely honed human specimens. We should look at the the median or mode, ie the mass of a population in the middle. If you had a competition between them, I'm sure you would find no meaningful difference between the various races.

Pistols, (or is is frozen peas?) at dawn, cap'n?

When a knob shouted out in the street...

I will be there, with two little ones. Shall we say 2.30pm. That's a good spot, Asset. I'l be there. I'll bring a football, a drink and something to eat (looks in larder to see what is there.... Yikes?) I'm over my turn in that other thread

Handbags at dawn?

Makes the strip look a little seedy

Right - its official, I am declaring the right to be royally pi$$ed off. There is another thread, somewhere hidden on this board, trying to get a picnic organised for tomorrow, Sunday, in Dulwich park. Its been running for weeks. There has been some limp support for it some half-hearted promises of attendence and feeble declarations of intention but essentially the poor beast is dying a miserable death. It's a forlorn entity with a battered ego and bruised facade, as sad as a beaten dog. It has crawled pathetically up it's own, soggy-quiche and warm-plonked back passage. And then, some bright upstart (who I guess isn't a real captain even) wants to meet up, in a pub, in the evening. He claims to want to swap books, but I know better - the magical, ingredients of "booze" and "post-8pm" have been cited and on the very same day, there you are, you eager puppies, flocking to him. Floozies, the lot of you. You can drink alcohol in the park, you know, you can drink the stuff before the witching hour too, you could bloody well swap your b@astard books (as if I have time to read!) across a plate of sausage rolls, tomorrow in the American Garden. And then I could have at least some adult company whilst I tucked into a wet cheese sandwich and drunk some insipid no-alcoholic elixir whilst I shout "no" at the children. Right I'm off to post on the "why having kids is the best thing ever" thread before watching another 15 episodes of the Fimbles.........

Red handed, BB.

CWALD - Driving through rural Jamaica a little boy called out "hey, whitey" to me. It was an expression of joy/amusement/friendship or something along those lines and not one of offence. How could I be anything but charmed. Hats off to you for your reaction when a guy you don't know sees it his place to comment on your body out loud and in public. From your post it can't be deduced how he said it and that is the rub. It's not what is said, it's how it is said. I could see how some would would be upset by such a comment. Earlier in the thread someone mentioned the word threat. Taking offence at something is less important than feeling threatened by something.

Shhh! indiepanda, don't tell everyone - it was the best one so I am blatently trying to pass it off as my own. Sure i read in rules of this thread that you could nab someone elses suggestion as long as it was on a different page.
