You're talking to someone here who'se evolved from Babycham so don't knock Prosecco. Actually I agree - it is a fad. Do you have something against fads though? What's not to like? It's cold and bubly and it goes down nice and smooth. If something better comes along then I say "bring it on mate, and let's party".
I hear you Quids, but I'm happy for now. It's coffee that gets me. Why can't you just go in to a coffee shop and order a cup of coffee? Sounds bloody obvious doesn't it but oh no, unless your coffee has at least six different elements to it, they look down on you. Me, I have an Americano, black, regular. That just about scrapes through as a credible order. Really it's just a cup of black coffee but you can't ask for that can you?

Prosecco isn't really a fad for me, I have to say. I don't like all Prosecco by any means but I really like that one. It's cold, bubbly, goes down a treat and is a whole pile cheaper than champagne. Don't knock it till you've tried it Quids. In fact I'll give you a free bottle, and if you hate it, you can come back on here and dis me. But if you like it you have to come back on here and play nicely!


Deal?


And yes it is domestic bliss over here giggirl!! Though mop head is now gone. We'd reached the stage where he needed a hairband to watch Thomas the Tank Engine, and after his father had had them for the weekend I could hear mutterings of "no son of mine......." etc etc. Shame, but probably for the best!

I know and these new five pee bits are so fiddly, and aren't the prices crool these day?

Fifty new pence for an apple I was charged the other day, that's two crowns in the old money.

And this weather doesn't suit me either, when I was a lass we had proper summer, not like this nonsense.

And whatever happened to proper newsreaders like Robert Dougall, nowadays you have these brassy trollops displaying themselves with no shame, sitting on the desk like I don't know what...


*Giggi Brady Old Lady continues in this vein until someone turns up with a bottle of Prosecco and a straw*

I do like Prosecco, honest I do. But after a while it starts to feel a bit soft and a bit bland and you do start to hanker after its big brother. And then you check your wallet and think again.


However, giggirl, didn't you know? Black coffee is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than white, and always will be. Just as whisky is cooler than vodka and red wine than white. Don't ask me why, I don't write the rules.

Of course, Giggi Bosie was a hit with all the gals.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Beagle - nobody's in the mood for a scrap. I've gone off topic on every thread I've been on but that's hardly hard-core is it? What's the forum coming to when there's not a wobbly lip in sight?
I know - it's really quite disappointing. Not a single rant? Not one heartfelt tirade? Not even the weeniest spot of self-righteous anger? It must be the weather. If we've all become well behaved and tolerant I shall cry. I may even stamp my foot.

    • Sorry to hear you are having issues. Fwiw, we received a regular letter this week. Maybe it's worth asking at the Dulwich delivery office (it's in West Dulwich, though. Their phone number is 03457740740) to see if there are aware of any issues in your particular area?  I've seen cases in the past were the a particular postie was sick and they didn't cover for them, they just let everything accumulate for a couple of days until the person was back.
    • Mal, it is related to this issue and if you scroll back a few pages you will see that Brockwell was brought up in relation to this (not by me I hasten to add). Do you not think it seems perfectly reasonable for people to be able to reference a neighbouring event - one that is having a number of challenges not too dissimilar to the ones Gala is having?     These sentences from the BrixtonBuzz article I linked seem very pertinent too:  The concern, they argue, is not just about permits, but about the Council’s repeated failure to follow proper planning processes and its habit of acting in the interests of commercial promoters rather than the local community.   And this: The group is now calling on residents to write to their local MP and councillors, accusing the Council of using legal mechanisms to avoid scrutiny.
    • Mal, like it or not, it does have some bearing on other councils. There was an item about it on Times Radio on Sunday - Kate Borsay, a presenter who lives locally, referenced Peckham Rye in relation to the Brockwell case. As the reporter pointed out, local councils will all be talking to each other and closely following how things unfold. If a precedent is set with Brockwell, other councils will be under greater scrutiny. 
    • Why don't you start a new thread about Brockwell Park?  I promise that I won't post on it.
