Doesn't seem to be a problem in ED, if you're famous and someone takes a dislike to you - whether they know you or not - you've had it. So, which famous person gets your goat up? (Sounds positively rude).

Now that's recognition.

Fantastic. He can annoy the whole universe. Classic.

I went through a stage of thinking it was funny to ask famous people to give me a nosh. I met Shane Ritchie in a bar and drunkenly went over, face open and smiling and said hello. He said hello back. I asked him if he'd give me a nosh. There were quite a few encounters.


I've never asked Jimmy Nesbitt for a nosh even though he was stalking me and the wife for at least a week. He followed me round Sainsburys once picking up the same produce as me just after me. Freak! Then I caught him going through my bins. That's when I called the rozzers!

Danny Baker on the radio a few years ago, said "I met that Paul McKenna once and he couldn't hypnotise me. I remind him of that every time I go round on a Friday and wash his car." How we laughed.


James Nesbitt was on the front page of Radio Times as the Jekyll Hyde character and I remember thinking - as I stained his teeth with my coffee mug stain - that boy needs to go to my nice dentist on Forest Hill Road and get his teeth straightened.

You're right. However, one thing that was REALLY ANNOYING was the way everyone kept saying things like "End of." and other cliches with the last word taken off. It really would make you want to boke.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
