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 don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
