  1. The Littlest Hobo
  2. What?s actually in there? Fruit machines? One armed bandits? ? Tow armed bandits with hankies tied over their mouths and tommy guns?
  3. So if it weren?t? for the crows Peckham Rye would be full of rotting fried chicken bones and donner kebab meat. I was in Nairobi recently and nearly soiled me britches when an entire flock of eagle/hawk like birds landed around me. They each stood about 2 feet tall! A local explained to me that they are scavengers and feed off all the rubbish in the city. I think I prefer the crows. They?re more poetic anyway.
  4. I also live up that way and I am pretty indifferent to M&S. To me it?s somewhere to buy socks and undies and that?s about it. Or would it be one of the ?This is not just ice cream. This is imported overpriced ice cream with the exact same make up and ingredients as a cornetto.? type of M&S? Either way surely no one will bother to drive there from outside of ED? Would they?

  6. Just as Andrew has said!
  7. The college was built by the same guy who designed the phone box. He is also responsible for Battersea and Bankside power stations. You can certainly see the similarity in the buildings. Although I reckon he should have painted them all bright red like the phone box.
  8. Now... Talisker and Fanta.....
  9. My sister did it once. Apparently Laphrioag, ?tastes like medicine.?
  10. Hey I ran to the Plough on Saturday!
  11. I noticed in Sainsbury?s on Sunday that they have an own brand single malt scotch. It is 15 years old, claret cask aged and says it comes from a Speyside distillery but does not mention which one. It could be one of many! Unless of course they are referring to Speyside in Tobago. Anyway has anyone tried it?

    Wormery advice

    Some species of earthworm eat soil and others eat leaf litter etc. It?s the latter that you want in your compost heap. Mine unfortunately doesn?t seem to have very many so I thought I could help them along.

    Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone know of somewhere locally where one can get their hands on some composting worms?
  14. To be fair I think you will find that severe organ damage caused by supersonic passage of hot lead is what does the killing. It is a bit unfair to go blaming it all on the gun now isn?t it? And well, Pit bulls. It is all up to the owners isn?t it? Some irresponsible people raise Jack Russels badly and they end up ripping up the furniture. Can?t blame the dog it?s the owner. Same as some people raise American Put Bulls badly. You certainly can?t blame the dog for killing a small child now can you?
  15. I especially like the name. http://simpsonizeme.com/
  16. The Plough has Talisker, Macallan, Laphroaig, Glenfiddich and a few others but my memory fails me. The Palmeston has Macallan, Oban, Ardbeg, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie and also a few more that I can?t remember. Mrs B is also adamant that they do the best hot chocolate in ED.
  17. I have indeed! :)-D That'll learn me to procrastinate and leave all my work for Friday!
  18. Still working (9:12pm) :'( got a beer though.
  19. "vibrant and alive and real" Very true.
  20. You know I?ve been thinking about this. How can living in 3 bed terraced housing or split level 2 bed flats be posh? Pah! Some perspective here people. Take a stroll around Knightsbridge.
  21. I have had 3 letters from them. Strangely it coincided with my car?s head gasket going!
  22. Only if you aren't at work mind!
  23. I just realised that. Doh!. I'm not very qick on the uptake today.
