People, people, people, it's not mannersable to leave Brendan hanging there when he makes a reference that requires a follow up.


Anyway, consider the matter taken care of. All is irie.

But HB that's just the point. Is it all really irie when it comes to table manners? Even on a cool and lovely breezy afternoon? Hmmm?

Jeezus H .....


No wonder there is so much hand held grazing done "over there"


Go on, admit it. America is the biggest social experiment ever that's gone horribly wrong


English is spoken only by the English & every thing else is a protracted garbled syntax which approximates a language



Right...



The other horrible , horrible trend that occasionally presents it's self at my dinner table, is when my boys schoolpals come over for tea.


Some children/ adults use this method & it's quite brutal in it's simplicity


Take fork ( ignore knife , actually rest your bloody elbow on it )


Stab/jab food ( until a chunk sticks to the said "friggin fork " why don't you )


Sit sideways one arse cheek on, one off the chair ( or until you break my chairs )


Talk/eat/rock


Use fingers/talk/ rock ( and "launder food" in open mouth, in my face )


Eat huge potato on the end of fork ( like a complex carbo lolly of sorts )


Smash up every bit of food on the plate, stick your fingers in it, smear ketchup everywhere


Then tell me "I don't like that, you got pizza"


"Why aint you got telly on"



Christ how I don't napalm the house there & then , I don't know


Luckily my eldest has the measure on things.


"OK, that's XXXX off the list" He wisely informs me


"Now what's for pudding ? "

    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks
