I once went sea fishing ( brave girl that I am )


I caught a large Codling and then started pulling a Mackerel in. The guy on the boat I was with took it off the hook and threw it back.

Now, that didn't bother me but my darling lady can't face eating one since.


Put her right off it has.

I have noticed 'bee miles' on jars of honey now. Agree, it has that effect on me too.

What Mr Ben says. Also that gruesome fraud "Lady" Gaga is putting me off music. Not just her own cheap derivative doggerel. All music. Stop her -NOW.

I have never been able to open a can of baked beans (which I lurve) without thinking of a news story years ago where someone opened up a can of beans and tipped out not only the little golden/red ball of yumness but a perfectly cooked mouse http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wuerg/vomit-smiley-019.gif

I used to quite like Bright Eyes (tha Conor Oberst band, not the Art Garfunkel song, though I have a soft spot for it, loving Watership Down as a kid) until I went to a live concert.

His fans were singularly the least humoured most self regarding bunch of mopes ever and Coner, far from being the witty ironic satirist i though he was, was just as much of a self regarding, humourless mope.


It was about eight years before I was able to put on any of his songs again.

I occasionally indulge these days; a twonk he may be but he does write a good song now and again.

I like cycling- but its those hills that put me off- whenevre i head south and hit crystal palace hill I seem to decide it is better to cycle to the bottom of the hill and back 3 times rather than cycle up it ..............

Just watching Northern Exposure on DVD, but in searching out where it was filmed , I discovered that the spectacular and sexually charged Maggie is now a host of Tea Party events who says that Obama stole God from her children.


Ho hum....

      Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
