Dear Admin, Now to "pick" your brains. On occasion, the little red indicator of a "new" post is blue (as opposed to red). I am curious. Do you know what causes this and what (if anything) I can do to remedy it? Thank you. Mx

Have never tried Guinness Punch...not a fan of Guinness...but this may well change tonight... Slugs love it though...now there's a thought......mmmm yum

Just for you Narnia *winks knowingly/cheekily at Declan*

When I first met hubby all those years ago, his favourite snack was...urrghhh (*shudders*)... ...a mug of Earl Grey tea (made with condensed milk!)...and to accompany this concoction, a digestive biscuit (the man was indeed discerning: had to be a genuine digestive as opposed to a supermarket brand e.g.) broken in half with a slice of cheddar cheese carefully sandwiched between the two biscuit halves. The biscuit was then dunked into the "tea". Apparently there was a skill attached to getting it spot on: one had to time dunking time to within split-second precision...one milli-second too long an immersion resulted in not only the biscuit collapsing into the liquid but in also causing that liquid to resemble (and presumably taste like) an oil slick. Too short an immersion and the biscuit was too crunchy and the cheese insufficiently warmed. Tea anyone?

Oh dear God paddykelly...they were probably "bike muggers"...and it happens from time to time...and not just in ED/Peckham. I hope you are alright. You were very brave to challenge...I certainly wouldn't have...though I might well have shouted something extremely obscene once away and pedalling at double quick speed. Thanks for making us aware. I'll just add a couple of other things to watch for (these have happened to me). (1) On Court Lane last year, a couple of guys hang around a lamp-post to which a rope is tied. The rope lies along the ground across the road to the other side at the feet of a further couple of guys. When a cyclist approaches the guys with the loose end of rope raise the rope sharply so as to cause the cyclist to crash into it, at which point they steal your bike, bag, and anything else of value. I was very fortunate, although I did not see the rope until the very last second, I saw the (four) guys - two on each side of the road. My gut feeling told me that something was not quite right so I planned to stop short of them by about 10 feet and do a quick about-turn. Fortunately I managed it, in time to see the rope get raised...I got away safely. They didn't bother chasing me - thank God. (2) On John Ruskin Street, a group of guys threw a car hubcap into the direct path of my front wheel presumably with the intention that I should go over. Again, someone was looking over me, and I managed to lift the bike over the missile as I continued cycling. But it frightened the hell out of me. Other than that, cyclists just be beware of things like car drivers throwing the contents of their ashtrays at you, bus passengers throwing half consumed bottles of e.g. coke from the upper deck of buses, car drivers spitting at you, and more recently, kids throwing apples or snowballs at you. Fortunately none of these things occur on a regular basis and I would not let them stop you cycling - besides, I think far better to be on two wheels than on two feet when such "undesirables" are about. Take care paddykelly, and all you other cyclists out there. And, please if you don't already, stick to the Highway Code - nothing irritates car drivers and pedestrians more than seeing cyclists behave as though they are above the law. Mx

Your post could not have arrived at a better time...as I have just received a PM basically telling me how my - it seems, tedious - posts, bother some on this forum. Thanks for that Mr. Boogie xxx "In love" with me you say eh?;-) *collapses laughing*

Well, I would have loved to attend, but am at the ballet with a friend that night. Or as *bob* once so eloquently put it, I'm off to see "the Cuban mob at the Coliseum". What a shame, I've never been to the Clock House. Have a lovely time all of you. And, big thanks to the wonderful Georgia yet again. Royal Memo to Georgia: One would be grateful if, in future, you could consult with my staff prior to setting the EDF Drinks date. A clash in the Royal Diary does not amuse one. Ladymuck.;-)

Talking of banning...has Atila been banned again? He's unusually quiet today...actually, come to think of it...Hatche...I mean, Jimmy Two Times has been quiet too...have they had a duel I wonder? Oh, and welcome back Jah (yes, I'm serious).

U...but last year was last year...things are not exactly looking bright red for OrganPond at the mo...are they now?

Now there's a thought...and what about names such as "Whizz Kid", "At the Crossroads", and "Movin On"...the potential for creative naming of bike racks is virtually endless. Though perhaps not "No Wheels To Ride", as one wouldn't wish to give the local bike wheel thieves an excuse to steal. Would one? *rings Councillor Barber*

I am curious folks... Does anyone else on this thread (other than me) support (the best team in the world ;-))Man. U? I can't believe I'm the only one.
