?Line and length, line and length.? Has just been the default utterances of any commentator who has had the misfortune of commentating on one of Steve Harmison?s bowling spells over the last 3 years.

Would the positive side of getting most peoples' cars off the street thereby making the roads less congested and safer not outweigh the drainage problem which could be solved by digging a storm water drain.

"Doh!"

I would be very careful if I were you. The sale of any Titan Ant body parts (this includes those of the Peruvian ?vertebrate?* variety) is in contrevention of the Penge Treaty that was signed in the WG Grace pub in 1977 to guard against the trade in unlikely animals, mostly because of the danger of this leading to unnecesary idiocy. *This is still disputed in some scientific circles who believe that the ?backbone? was in fact a psychosomatic physical manifestation of the ants? belligerent character. This hypothesis is supported by reports from hunters who came back from expeditions with stories of ants that when threatened would arch their backs displaying spiny vertebra and mutter, ?bugger offo gringo.?

arse feck girls!

East Dulwich locals seem to have a certain unkempt, scruffiness to their appearance, which distinguishes them from the folk of the surrounding suburbs.

Bailed out by a saffa. Again.

wotcha.

East Dulwich Forumite in Shock Hoax Thread Scandal ?and now the cricket

Can I just point out that although today is Thursday it is in fact Friday. :)-D

Who Boris or Sean? As I remember Sean is actually quite fond of the Bloody Americans. As for Boris, well I think he is ok with them but that is only because he thinks that they are still a colony.

Someone used my debit card details to pay for a parking ticket in Tower Hamlets. At the time I didn't even own a car.

Yeah. Get 'em off the road and leave it open for me to enjoy!

There is a simple answer to that Sean. People should be given a personality test. If it finds that they are a cunt they shouldn?t be allowed to drive. I think you would cut road congestion by 75%. The same test should be given to those who take public office or work in the provision of any public service.

Well cows f*ck in fields.

I was in John Lewis a while back, I had been dragged around Oxford street with a hangover all morning and the heating had turned the atmosphere in there Saharan. Upon the brink of death I dragged myself up to the canteen counter, all cracked lips and croaky voice, and rasped, ?May I please have a bottle of water?? ?Certainly sir.? Said the young lady as she shooed away a circling vulture, ?That will be ?2.50 please.?

My condolences PGC.

Smart thing to do would be to put the money towards providing resident parking areas (off the road ideally). Allowing every household 1 or 2 parking space depending on the size of the family (and charging extortionately for any extra) and then putting metres on all public parking spaces thereby bringing in a revenue stream. It is time the UK wrenched its collective consciousness into the 21st centaury on this issue. People are going to drive cars (and most of them are going to be bigger than a minis) and they need somewhere to park them.

On the bendy-bus story BN5: I have to agree that they are a bad idea. Simple reason. They take up twice as much space on the already congested roads as a double-decker would. Cant say I would agree on reinstating routemasters though for the same reason I wouldn?t choose to dig a hole in the ground with a stick rather than a spade because ?that?s how it used to be done.?

GUM ON THE ROAD! (why isn't this clamped down on?)

Bit short notice Bob but if you had let us know a few days ago I'm sure someone would have been good enough to call "the social" on you.

It happened to me a few years back with HSBC. They said they would refund the money in a couple of weeks but didn?t. When I went back to them they acted like they didn?t know anything about it and I had to re do all the forms etc. Again I didn?t get the money back so I had to do it again, this time I logged it with their customer services and sent them a letter with copies of all my previous correspondence and forms and they eventually gave me my money back. It could have all been an innocent accident but it is more likely that they have a policy of ?losing? these things a few times first in the hope that you may just give up and go away. So keep copies of everything and persist.
