10 points to the person who posts a link to this thread on the West Dulwich forum. Perhaps on a new thread entitled something like, oh, ?Hilarious thread on the East Dulwich forum*? *Although not nearly as funny as some of the others.

I went to the Rye last night so there was nary a power ballad nor a snakebite in sight. Just lots of over-dressed people being rude to one another and some very nice food.

And no that wasn't a reference to your "Sis' devils dumplings" sic.

Bloody ?ell Mike. Cats, tortoises. You?ll be after fluffy bunnies next. I?m calling the RSPCA.

You are right that it is difficult to react to any social ills without someone with a political agenda jumping up and trying to use it in some kind of unproductive blame game. I blame the fact that society in general still buys into the outdated and limiting idea of there being a Left and a Right Wing. We feel that this somehow gives us a valid moral barometer with which to approach the world. But all it does is give people the choice to either be a bastard or an idiot, or a bit of both. It stops us from just trying to figure out what the hell is really going on.

Sean just because things ?aren?t as bad as the Mail makes them out? or ?Were just as bad back in my day?. Doesn?t mean we should tolerate them. If just 1 person is robbed it is 1 too many and is a valid reason to be up in arms and demand something be done. I would rather see over reaction than complacency. This whole argument about things being just as bad in the 70s or 80s or whatever is a self-defeating argument. Society is supposed to move on and develop for the better. 100 years ago a husband could legally rape his wife and a 7 year old boy could be sent down a mine to work. Society stopped tolerating things like that why should we tolerate any other form of crime in any way.

The only thing I have destroyed in the line of duty was a fax machine that wouldn?t co-operate. The only thing that has ever been genuinely frightening was interviewing Ann Widdecombe.

I don?t know. You all frighten the hell out of me.

And farewell to a true gent. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/7210458.stm

Guinness with tia maria (tu)

eerrgh. What the hell are you all doing up so early?

Like one of those name badges the staff in McDonald?s wear.

Politicians are. I have met a few. They?re good at charisma. It is what makes them able to get away with screwing people.

What? Stephen? Fine I'll call it Emma. Who says pubs have to be masculine.

11 minutes No 10 doh

fair enough. I'm going to open a pub and call it Stephen.

what does Oriwu Spot mean?

Target. Meeting targets. These people should be serving the community not exploiting it.

True it isn't really any further at all. I just always go through the park. Which means I have probably never been to the Dog in the evening before. Look at me getting out there and trying new things 'ey.

Anyone know what time the park closes? Through it is my quickest way to the Dog.

It's not exactly pretty but it looks a dam sight better than that hideous colour changing estate agents up the road.

Thanks *Bob* now I?m going to be humming Come on Eileen until I hear something else.

Listened to the Violent Femmes for the first time in ages this afternoon.

It's from the Daily Mash that. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/

Now *Bob* staying in and over-eating isn?t going to make you feel any better.
