  1. Yeah. They?re headed up by a lovable little lamb sock-puppet.
  2. How can a system where private companies are given financial incentive to fine the public possibly be fair? I?m going to need a long long wall come the revolution.
  3. Come to think of it I only ever drive to Sainsburys or when I leave East Dulwich so perhaps I should discuss this on another neighbourhood forum. :-S
  4. Could just go down the rhyming slang route and call someone James Blunt.
  5. Why the fuck do they still build new housing developments without propper parking?!?!?
  6. Another blatant imposition of state control over the individual, shrouded in the guise of protecting the vulnerable. Viva la revolution!
  7. I am going to write a letter but I don?t know if I should mention the altercation with the postman. There is a part of me that doesn't want to grass someone up to their boss even if they were out of order. But then again what if I wasn?t there and my fianc? had opened the door? The thing is that when I made my initial complaint I didn?t in anyway suggest that it was the postman. I just said that my mail wasn?t arriving. I actually assumed that the problem would have been at the sorting office or something. I made my complaint via the customer services line on Royal Mails website and the only response I got was a cocky postman. They haven?t contacted me in any other way. You know actually now that I?m thinking about it again I am going to take this further. Not even a cutesy call! Bastards.
  8. I have read the first post on the SE5 forum and it starts out saying ?at least three quarters of local residents do not own cars? This is a slightly misleading statement as each car may only be owned by 1 person but most cars are used/relied upon by more than just the owner. Mothers drive their children around and many people have 1 car used by all the adults in the family.
  9. "Don't tread on me" by Metallica. Or perhaps just the title as an epitaph
  10. "Monkey gone to heaven" by the Pixies.
  11. I?m getting married next year and my other half has chosen ?Wouldn?t it be Nice? as the first song. Or the one for when we are walking from the chapel to the garden where the reception is can?t quite remember. It seems a little cheesy to me but I know better than to go having opinions about these thing. I did jokingly suggest a song called ?I like Beer more than Girls? by my mate?s band ;-) ? Apparently I shouldn?t take the piss when the wedding is concerned. :-S
  12. I've not actually done anything since. Waiting for the bile to settle first.
  13. So all we need now is a foreign billionaire to buy out Dulwich Hamlets football team.
  14. There was a postal strike last week that has caused some backlog with deliveries. Although? I?ve been having problems with post not arriving for a while. About a month ago I got fed up and made a complaint. I thought this would be confidential. Turned out it wasn?t as the following Saturday the postman knocked on my door to enquire about why I had made a complaint. He was quite aggressive about it too until he realised that I wasn?t going to take it. The cowardly little shite was probably hoping for someone he could bully. I gave him a full list of what had gone missing and expressed my frustration and disdain and sent him back down the garden path with his tail between his legs. This made me feel better for about 5 minutes and then just genuinely concerned about ever receiving any mail again. Having said that I have received 3 parcels this week without incident (Why do I feel lucky about this when it should just be expected?)
  15. hmmm a bracelet you say. Sounds pretty "street" to me. Must be local.
  16. Top Ten Heros 1. Arthur Dent 2. Lobo 3. Tank Girl 4. Cornelius Murphy 5. Rincewind the Wizzard 6. Homer J Simpson 7. Zodiac Mindwarp (aka Mark Manning) 8. Judge Dredd 9. Silent Bob 10. Elvis
  17. 'tis true fellows. I was taking the proverbial wee wee.
  18. Stuff this. I?m moving back to Johannesburg. It?s safer.
  19. People do keep pigs as pets. The preferred breed is the Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pig. One of my friends in South Africa had one. They tend to be favored by ?alternative? arty types who think it will make them interesting to have a pig as a pet. Then they realise that it actually takes an awful lot of training and looking after or else it eats your furniture. Unfortunately many of them end up being sent of to farms* where piggy wiggy becomes baky wacon. *The pigs not the ?alternative? arty types.
  20. what are the rules about selling produce grown in your back yard?
  21. In the current climate in London I wouldn't want to be a bus conductor. You would probably get knifed by some monosyllabic scrote who doesn't want to pay their fare.
  22. ?tis the beast of Sydenham. It hath heard tell of the delights of Lordship Lane and ventured forth to investigate.
  23. I find spitting on the street disgusting too. I don't know why it is somehow seen as normal. Why do people need to spit anyway? I certainly don't. Not even when I'm out running.
  24. James Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Am amazed David Cameron > hasn't capitalized more on this.

I have a sneaking suspicion that he doesn?t really want to win anything as he and his ilk are doing just dandy under our current government. The whole ?opposition? thing is just for show. Sorry a bit off topic there. I too am starting to hate the bus when it could be a much more desirable form of transport.
