Mandela pushing a 3 wheeled pushchair.

Make the buggers walk to school. It will do them good and give them a fair chance to bunk off without mummy catching them.

They are also pointless. There is no reason why people can't, with the help of a decent conveyancer, sell their home privately. Especially these days with the help of the internet.

I'm not getting into this again. :'(

Dam that infernal hack Stanshall! Plagiarizing my work from beyond the grave!

Hey I said that! Have you been paging through Brendan's book of stupid quotes?;-)

The larger pixies. If you look you can see them popping off the top of a newly poured pint. They seek me out and swarm around my head like millions of tiny barmen and offie clerks hissing ?pint of larger mate?? or ?6 for 5 sir?? and will only cease their torment if they hear the sound of a ring-pull or a beer-tap. Well them, the voices, this twitch and that dam puppet.

I think the butcher (one up LL) should open another branch there. Save the queues on Saturdays. Or just an outlet selling their pork pies.:)

The missus does pilates (is that how you spell it) somewhere near goose green. I will ask her about the details as they seem to be the kind of place that will also do yoga etc.

That moat seems like a good idea mark. >:D< I'm generally just ranting here though. Got a headache and a hump on this morning. Of course I realise I am in the proverbial glass house. Listen its personal preference but I don?t like high streets that are populated with estate agents and chain stores. I?m not some revolutionary opponent of the free market I just liked the character of LL and I desperately would like to live in a place that maintains some kind or ?real? character. They are few and far between. I?m sure you will agree that finding a place in London that is neither a complete dump nor a haven of pretentious prattery is pure gold. East Dulwich is the first place I have lived in London where the nature of the area and its people actually makes me want to contribute to and become part of the community. I quite like the 3 wheeled buggies and I even like the pitbulls. Anyway we?re getting off topic. Foxtons, horrible storefronts, ugly cars and employees who spin bulsh*t for a living. They sound fantastic. :-S

This all kinda makes me wish that East Dulwich had a different name. It is getting all this attention from estate agents etc. because people from outside hear the name and think it is the ?Eastern part? of Dulwich. This just attracts the kind of poncy tw*t who has been priced out of Fulham but just has to have an address that isn?t an embarrassment at dinner parties. East Dulwich is not part of Dulwich. It is a separate area (the suburb east of Dulwich) with a very different character which is exactly why I moved away from bloody Putney to live here 3 years ago. I think we would be better off being called South Peckham of West Nunhead. :-S I know I?m ranting here but it all just upsets my so much. I am just starting to consider ED home and I love the place but I don?t want to have to run screaming in a few years because walking down the high street has become like scratching bloodied fingernails down a rusty blackboard.

Or in keeping with the general theme of the area. DPT - Dulwich Plough Tavern.

Now that the Plough is being rehabilitated will it become known simply as the P?

More or less so than estate agents?

Once I was in a not-so-good mood and when a smiling hippie in the day-glow vest approached me on Victoria Street for some or other charity I just snapped back that charity promotes weakness. (Of course I don?t really believe this and I do support a chosen charity) The poor girl looked so crestfallen I felt bad and ended up donating my last tenner.

He wasn't racist or anything. Just a mad PC. oh I slay me..>:D<

I have a friend who is a police constable. He was at my party on Saturday night and behaved very badly indeed. ::o

Like 90% of the legal profession, estate agents are parasitic and unnecessary. * takes cover.

I agree James. There are times when it is just used as a way to cover up inherent prejudice. Or where its use just highlights prejudice.

Nah they're all bastards. 'tis the nature of the game. I blame the television and the communists. I think Ken should bring in a new regulation the forces them all to use Smart cars or mopeds and to provide off street parking for their employees so they don't clog up our highstreets whith those bloody awfully painted cars.

Leaving a baby in a car unattended is rather stupid. I do however think that being a parent is about training a kid how to be an adult rather than protecting them from the big bad world. To be a successful adult you need to know how to fight, compete and pick yourself up again after you?ve been knocked down without holding some kind of personal grudge or running home to mommy. This applies no matter which "class" you're from. That?s my self-righteous, tuppence worth. Consider yourselves told.

WTF is all I really have to say.

I think the vox pops would have been more suitably expressed if our intrepid guerrilla-artists had simply corrected their spelling with red ink.

Turned 30. Got smashed and behaved immaturely in a vain attempt to hang on to my ever depleting youth.
