It really is an inherently funny word. Especially when the bus says it. One, Seven, Six To Penge Or in the words of his royal godness Robert Rankin, ?I?ve heard it?s a lovely place but I?ve never been there myself. ? Anyone else find James? hissy fit about El Castillo even funnier for the fact that he mentioned Penge? Only me? Well no change there then.

Has it been sold or is it just being refurbed? I like the place even though it isn't the best Mexican food around the naffness makes up for it.

Nice >:D

Sean it has nothing to do with the Oxford education. This is something that most people, including myself*, hold in high regard. It has everything to do with you feeling that telling people about it is going to make them think any differently about you. *Well I was educated in SA and we tend to assume that all universities in the uk, apart from Oxford and Cambridge, must be crap. But then we would wouldn?t we. ;-)

More Pre-Match News ?Stuff you guys I?m not playing.? ? Says vocal CPT supporter and East Dulwich institution Lord Jahseph Lush Meanwhile CPT manager Sir Manky O?Piers is fined 50% of his match fee for gratuitous use of the word hoiking. And this just in: ED forumite earns universal scorn for pushing the boundaries of acceptable silliness.

Cool. You?ll have to arm-wrestle Natalie for it though, I?m driving. (Well there at least) I?d watch out if I were you, she?s freakishly strong for a girl. Space for 1 more folks, unless your other half is also coming Keef. What are we doing for tea? Are we all just going to bring beer and pork pies etc.

::o filth!

My other half will be coming and we will be taking the car + 1x cooler box of beer. Unfortunately Nat is on call so the boot of the car is full of her equipment but we should be able to give 2 people a lift. So let me know if anyone wants a lift. Leaving at about 10:20am.

If an estate agent?s epistemological knowledge that bragging about his education will impress people is soundly based on the proposition that truth + belief = knowledge is he still wrong about the social value of house prices increasing at a rate higher than inflation? (please take that in the tongue in cheek way it was meant Sean)

In what can best be described as, a cricket match in Wandsworth, The Crystal Palace Tavern Cricket Team* will meet the King?s Road Cricket and Social Club this Sunday. The event has attracted an unexpectedly high level of enthusiasm with literally some people having read a thread about it on the East Dulwich Forum. Still some others have pretended to listen during East Enders while their significant others have made explanations for their imminent absence from domestic duties this Sunday. The game will feature such highlights as players attempting to throw (without actually throwing) a cricket ball from one end of a pitch to another. There is also the promise of such scintillating exchanges as, ?Out!? ?It never was!? ?Yes it was.? ?No it wasn?t? ?Yes it bloody was.? ?It?s always the same with you isn?t it? Fucking by the book jobsworth so-n-so? ?Up yours.? and, ?ahh. Can I have another go please?? ?What time should we meet at the station?? said Mr Pears MacMonkey, secretary of the CPT meeting at stations working sub-committee for the Camberwell area. Leaving the question on all of our lips, what time? What time indeed? *Also but not exclusively known as, The East Dulwich Forum Cricket Team and open but not restricted to anyone who has ever had a drink in a pub or has heard of or knows someone who has heard of East Dulwich and or the game of cricket, although special dispensation has had to be applied for to allow players from Sydenham.

My mate Martin is quickish.

Was she as good looking as the car?

Well done!

I could live with being a cock if I had one of these: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Porsche_Speedster.jpg

It?s like you have to go into their offices with some of those counting blocks you use to teach children sums and explain it to them. Slowly

Yep. And thinking back the answer we are going to get to is that WW1 essentially started WW2.

Oi this is about cars not political ideology.

If you can't see the holes in that thought process I'm not going to bother pointing them out.

David David David. Talk like that is like waving a tory flag at MacGabhann The air-cooled engine was what made the bug what is was, simple and reliable. It wasn?t designed as a high performance car but rather one that will just go, and go and go wherever you send it and carry on going for 100 years as long as you put petrol in. And then go some more. The torsion bar suspension was low maintenance and strong and what gives bugs their ability to deal with all terrains. The ride may be a bit hard but they compensated by making the seats extra springy. I remember once going to a festival in SA where you had to negotiate a dirt road over a hill to get into the valley where it was held. It had been raining and the 3 series BMW we were in got horrible stuck in the mud, behind a 4x4 VW Caravel. A guy in another 4x4 stopped to help us and promptly got himself stuck too. This entire time Beetle after hippy laden Beetle chugged up the hill past us without so much as a spin of the tires. I also know people who live out in the bush in places like Mozambique and Botswana and all will swear to you that if you can?t afford something like a Toyota Hilux a Beetle (even though they are all at least 25 years old) is the way to go for a car that can handle it off road, has a good torque, starts every time and wont leave you stranded somewhere. As for the interior, well I think this original is pretty cool : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/1949_VW_dash_.jpg Handling? Handling? Have you never seen a Herbie film man?

I know. The fuckers!

This morning while making my breakfast I caught myself singing: Beeeeee Beeeeee Seeeeee Radioooooh Tooooo

It is so so depressing that there aren?t enough people around who are enlightened enough to do things like, vote properly and earn decent money. You should hear some of the accents your ears get abused by when you walk down Lordship Lane.
