Loving the ad - it fits with the whole Chener ethos. It is the antithesis of the Village bookshop - which I find unbearably cramped and clautrophobic. Also, love love love the book table. Yeh!

Pictures anyone??

Another thumbs up here, from Casa Wee Quinnie. And you know I dont give that to all and sundry. Oh no.

I love the reviews under the t-shirt. Makes me want to buy loads.

Thanks Horsebox.

Hi All, For reasons outside my control I have to meet my auntie at 6 am (!!!) on Saturday morning at Victoria Station. Does anyone know if any of the foodie places would be open for breakfast at that point?

According to her she had to go to the Greek Embassy for them to help her out, since the police couldn't help her, as she "isnt British". Anyway, her intended destination was Bedford after all that... .....she did mention that the Greek Embassy is in Holland Pk at one point. Thought I would spare you the long version of the story.

http://www.english.bham.ac.uk/staff/tom/examsinfo/examtips/jon.htm Robyn, this really helped me last year, and I intend to be applying it again in about 3 days from now! On other thing I would recommend is taking regular breaks - get up from your desk and go and have a walk around for about 30 minutes or so. Works for me.

Hi All I think I have been scammed on LLane just within the last hour, not reallly sure. A young woman approached me in the Cheese Block saying she had just been robbed and had her passport stolen and needed to get to the Greek Embassy. I was quite preoccupied by other stuff weighing heavily on my mind at the moment, and ended up giving her twenty quid to get to Bedford. Now at the time of handing over the dosh, I believed she seemed genuine, but upon reflection I have my doubts. Some things that didn't ring true: 1. She claimed she had been to ED police station and they had referred her to the Embassy as she is Greek, and could not help her to get there. - Is ED police station now closed?? 2. She was talking to her dad on the phone in Greece (but she spoke to him in English) 3. When I suggested she ring BRail to find out train times - she appeared to have the number - and said the fare was 21.90. I have just looked up the trainline which suggests the fare is 22.90. Ok - I can accept I have probably been scammed, but the worrying thing is I wrote down my name and address for her to reimburse me with the dosh.... So how should I have handled this? I did think she was genuine after all?

Bugbear du jour: People thanking you by writing "thanx". Makes me incandescent with rage.

Yeh - I cant wait!!!!!!!!111111

On Facebook, I really really really hate it when people write LOL and XOXOXOX type stuff. Also status shuffle really makes me want to puke.

Are all the prices going to shoot up after the refit? TBH - I really think they have the formula right as it is.

Of course! And therein lies the problem....

Sounds intriguing PGC - what kind of things have you got in mind here? Peckhamgatecrasher Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >I blame it on > Edwardian literature which I love.

GOING TO THE HAIRDRESSERS: Wierdly, just had my hair cut this afternoon - and have had hair slathered in all kinds of hairdressery-nonsense, and my hair now smells like fcuking fabric softener. Oh dear God. I was also amazed to be asked what "product" (ffs!) I put on my locks. Shampoo and conditioner, I proudly declaimed. For some reason this was considered hilarious by the hair styling person. Then I handed money and a handsome tip to this person.

I see the woodcutter's caught up with Alan now. Exciting times!

Don't you mean a McSlurry? James Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Have you tried the Creme Egg McFlurry?

Just noticed that BBW seems to have disappeared off the forum. Has the woodcutter caught up with him at last?

Mind you, if you're just using this as a practice run for the Barry Barry Road race - maybe you need to ease up on the training a bit.

The smell of fabric softener emanating from next doors washing line. REally gets up my nose, metaphorically and literally.
