hmmm maybe the secret is not to obsessively read every single post???

okay, me first... I have come to realise what a great bunch of people I share the postcode (and surrounds) with. Top notch Administrator & co.

what a lovely thread! still my favourite flickr shot: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2031/1705621063_90676118a9.jpg?v=0 (barryroad - nice to hear he's back)

What can I say? I have very high standards.

Anyone who has posted more than 3 messages on this thread (excluding the original poster) is hereby excluded from the Badger / MikeSE22 friend auditions. You know who you are. 6 pages? Seriously? The debate was fun. The whining and diatribe less fun. But loved AnnaJ's attempts at mediation and the sprinkling of humour (and excellent photos) supplied by MP and posse. BTW - in case anyone has the urge to brand me homophobic - am a lesbian (alas no kids, but open to offers). And surely cannot be a heterophobe as I used to have a friend in primary school who was straight (not any more, mind, but there you go)...

Are people on this thread taking my name in vain? tschsh!

At the moment, am hiding under my desk lest anyone gives me any work in the last 30 mins of the day. The rest of the time, am a lawyer dreaming of life away from the dark side ... maybe on lozzyloz's side of the fence.

Oh gosh! Have a lovely day and congrats. Everything crossed for decent weather...!

Polly D this is awful news. Glad they didn't get too much. Hope the hneymood was good!

oh no. looks like i may be the only forumite not at the party :(

9.06pm and I'm stuck in the office missing EDF drinks :( Anyone else checking EDF in the general absence? Think of the havoc we could create with Mr Administrator otherwise engaged....

You are entitled to quiet enjoyment (per chavwithalawdegree's post) - but if you get on with your landlord, you probably don't want to start nasty action against him/her/it. I suggest you take it up with your landlord and get them to have strong words with Foxtons. Hope you feel better soon.

So overcome with Australian Shiraz at G&B, Mikese22 and I ventured into Foxtons to make some enquiries about buying a property together in the area. The purpose of this post is purely to convey our views on the general service given - not to invite another wingeing bitchfest about the conceptual issues of a Foxtons being in the area. We eyed up the lavish Ty Nant and booze bar elongated across the front of the space. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for free booze (even though Mikese22 bailed on the parteeeee last night - slacker), it seemed only right to venture in... So, Mikese22 and I were the ?young professional couple? looking to move into our first home together. Despite the fact that Badger looked like a stoned art student just-about-recovered from a drink-binge the previous night, and Mikese22 looking as gay as a Buckingham Palace window, the very nice Foxtons boy (name not given - one of the few oversights) took us seriously, even when we decided we could go up to ?600k (Badger looked somewhat nervous at this and proffered ?550k but was overruled by the boys - the second irritator). Allegedly 325 (yes, three hundred and twenty five) of our fellow SE22 residents have ALREADY turned to the dark side and signed up with the green demon. Apparently that?s a bit harsh so I will rephrase. 325 of our fellow SE22 residents - I am assuming not generally avid participants on the EDF - have put their homes on the market with Foxtons. Despite the impending housing-crash, it looks like they are here to stay. We were disappointed not to receive literature about homes on the market in the area until asked. Even then, we only got the magazine, so we have to wait for someone to give us a call for information about homes currently on the market here. I was impressed that after the initial Alexander Hall mortgage broker push, the guy ceased with the ramming-down-throat chat immediately when I said I had my own financial adviser. Anyway - other disappointments: - the South East London ?area? magazine contains numerous typos, including descriptions of properties in Camberwell as being in Camden. - the ?local? restaurant guide is all about South West London venues, save for a review of Jerk Rock (RIP). Good things: - the agent was very friendly and not pushy. - the agent was not wearing any offensive jewelry, nor an excess of hair gel (these things are strangely important to Mikese22). - properties in the magazine go to less than ?200k. - the pictures look good. - there?s a subscription offer for Time Out. Go to www.timeout.com/offers/scwebcam08 for the offer - pay ?2.50 for the first copy and get the next 8 free. Badger & Mikese22

having tinternet issues and posted twice - sorry Mr Administrator

whoops again Mr Administrator - I am hoping you can delete these. Internet issues...

Louisa - did you make it? don't think i got to meet you...

Great parteeee Mark for mayor?

Hmmm - as above no lesbian places per se, but I have noticed a slightly-above-average-lesbian-clientele at: - Green and Blue (extraordinarily high number of lesbian couples) - Black Cherry (but less me at the moment as am boycotting due to excellent-cocktail-making-Southie-barman being on holiday or some such nonsense - pah) ZERO sightings in the Rye. Only gay men. Also - looks like there'll be quite a few of us at forum drinks on Friday :)

tee hee - no no MikeSE22 is a fine chap. Yes - planning on making the drinks!

hmmmm. would be up for this but only if someone other than Mikese22 also turns up!

I was at work. One of my colleagues was there are said "this means war". Crikes. With you Mr Road - bit emotional.

Now tell me what is more unusual - two gay guys kissing in a bar in SE22, or a gay guy kissing a (then) lesbian girl in the same bar? I am too scared to look up 'munging' or any of the other words. Are there pictures as well? Actually, I don't think I want to know...

Tee Hee. I was also holding it in for that very reason (and then they bloomin well closed the loos up by the main stage - drats). I am *ashamed* to say I was quite taken with Mr Josh Klinghoffer :-$ and Mr Reznor ;-) Oh dear - am likely to be disowned by the rainbow drinks crowd for that comment. Ah well.
