Yes Narnia I would and I do - I mean I don't flounce round in a ballgown or anything but I'm not really an old T-shirt and leggins kind of girl so, yes I do.

Definitely. But I'd still wear nice shoes.

If I'm on my own I often put on my coolest clothes, open a bottle of whiskey, set up a mirror on the other side of the table and have a mutual appreciation night in with myself.




Its never long before a fight breaks out. The mirror always ends up worse off and I usually get away with a couple of scratches. I used to box you know...

I'm with Giggirl on this one I'm afraid Narnia. I am always dressed to a certain standard, even when I'm alone and not doing much except hanging out with the babies. I always have matching underwear, makeup, jewellery, a nice handbag, and 9 times out of 10 I'm in heels.


It's something you either get or you don't.

Hmmmm I've just reread my post and it didn't quite come across as I intended! I am actually fully dressed at all times, you understand, I was just poiting out the minimum standards required on any given day. And I will have to respectfully decline your invitation, Mr Dogger.


Flipping cheek.

On a quiet night in Brendan once had a fight with a picture of dorian grey - just because he looked younger. Wife came home and threw the book at him.

Not that dangerously Citizen - it's not original '70s which would be worth ?????? and if I owned one I would be afraid to even breathe on it. Ossie's label has been up and running again for the last few years reproducing his classics at affordable prices. That's great for those who admire the man's talent but it's a shame that Ossie died in a council flat without a penny to his name.

Thank you for asking Karrie, but it's been a bit of a disaster really. A wierd allergic reaction meant that although my whites were whiter than the whitest thing, my eyelids puffed up, resulting in me having to squint to see anything at all. Not a particularly attractive sight.


I didn't fare any better with the extensions. Having purchased said items, I soon realised that sticking them on is not so easy, especially with my puffed-up, swollen lids. At the crucial eye-catching moment, whenever I started to blink furiously to draw attention to their impressive length, they started to droop.


As you can imagine, the vision of me blinking and squinting with my eyelashes drooping did not solicit the sort of reaction I had hoped for.


What a palarva.

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
