Mark does have a point. If i went to the pub for a quiet after footie pint, expecting it to be a nice civilised early evening stop off, before going home to write my memoirs and do some crocheting, I wouldn't expect my afternoon to be sabotaged by a bunch of lager louts, and for my last memories of the evening to involve my eyes rolling uncontrollably as I lose yet another bout of fussball, before staggering home without even managing a kebab or ruby, and coming to sometime the next morning wishing my head would hurry up and cave in ... would I.


I'll get my coat ;)

When I was at school there was a trend of people drawing "nob n' balls" on other pupil's chairs. If you inadvertently sat on such a chair you would be termed a "batty-man". Placing a piece of paper between yourself and the chair offered protection. I guess this could be seen as crude means of sex education.

So long as you didn't carry on using paper in your adult life, I imagine it would chafe somewhat! ::o

In danger of going off topic, but here was a collaborative effort when we tried to come up with a motto/badge for Dulwich Hamlets. Pugnatores Ponderosi Interbellum

It more or less translates as dulwich hamlets, a decent contender between the wars.

 

D-Mum, How do you do ?


I haven't gone yet, I said I will be away soon ( maybe a week, ten days from now ), but I'll try to stay away from the forum as much as I can.

Thank you for your concern regarding my health in a tropical place BUT I can reassure you that Tropical Climate is my "ideal" habitat, where the sea is beautyfully blue, the sunshine for real and beautiful "creatures" crawling with harmony and sweetness along sandy white beaches.... >:D<

Yes Batdog, please don't go. This lot have so lowered the tone of this wonderful thread, I was hoping for a good flirt to make them all calm down! Have you seen the artistic illustration from Mark? Whatever would his mother say? Where are you going dear heart, and surely you can talk to us from abroad? I will be on the forum from far away soon.....

Hey Huguenot,


I wont forget the ED forum while I am away but I'll be busy "exploring" the sandy beaches... and hopefully being "entertained" by the local "wildlife"... >:D<


Unfortunately for National Security Reasons I can't tell the exact location where I will be soon, but I can confirm that it is in the Caribbean ( one my favourite corners of the planet...), will give exact details when I am back... D-Mum she is also going away soon? ( see her last post ) Coincidence ? ;-)

Are you going to the cricket world cup? 2 Weeks ago you could have got odds of 66-1 for England winning it. Since they beat the Aussies in that one-day farce down under, odds are 13-1 or 9-1 or something.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
