"Oy!! My Razzle is in that Manifesto. Its a "Dulwichmum" original"


*Thankfully Mrs T is strangely impervious to fire, probably a good, all things considering*


"Has anybody got the key to the gun room? My elephant gun is stored there and I need to put a newbie out of our misery. Ah yes here it is, under the half full soda stream bottle"


*Opens lavvie door, grabs Manifesto/Razzle off red devil. Hand Manifesto back*


"Sorry! Meant to mend that lock years ago, Mrs Dobbin the lactating donkey kicked it open when suffering from mastitis. Nice undies by the way"


*Settles in comfy chair with Razzle, elephant gun, gun-oil and rags*


*Whistles tunelessly*

*Outside door am nearly knocked over by 'Rags'* - (pedigree fox-cat-cross and leader of the Fellbrigg Rd wolf pack)


*-who shoots out of newly-installed cat flap* - (I'm a dab-hand with a router, MDF, & a 360 hinge - it also scares Woody away)


*-fleeing awful whistled version of Dark Horse by George Harrison*


*-and overpowering smell of gun oil and bhaji liniment*

Albina wafts in for a touch of damp dusting but decides a total refit is in order. 3 drives past with an industrial floor sander, 2 coats of industrial floor varnish and 6 litres of Farrow & Ball Elephant's Breath later and she can finish off by damp dusting the plantation shutters.


Hurrah! Next year will be the best year ever. Looking forward to the best New Years party this postcode has ever seen (faints).

I'd suggest something retro yet daring-


A Windolene white-out with finger-written messages (according to season etc.) and an optional newspaper/sellotape collage over the hole where the xpelair was.

I see that your skin care regime has become more assertive in your twilight years. Good to have you back I was rather expecting to see you in a "Those that have passed in 2013" article in People Friend.

    • Given the recent and numerous reportings of violence and intimidation, this was preventable and it just beggars the question of what actually gets the police up and doing something.
    • I quote from the News Shopper A post on social media network Nextdoor by someone who says they know the victim expands on their reported injuries. This is not exactly first hand. The mET say A 48-year-old man alleges he was injured
    • A couple of cloves sliced in half or quartered, boil for around 10 minutes or until it is giving off aroma, then add to a spray bottle once cooled.
    • There are planes going to more than one London airport. It's been discussed on here before, but I can't remember the exact details. Also if memory serves it depends on the prevailing wind exactly what route the planes take on a particular day, but I may be wrong there. Or maybe they vary the route so the same people don't get the noise each time? I moved here (also North Cross Road area) over thirty years ago and the plane noise has always been bad. I don't think it's got any worse, though it may have done. It has always started around 5am or a bit earlier ( on the days the planes take that route, I suppose?) Concord used to fly over around 5pm each day. That was excellent. It always seemed to be directly over my house, but due to the height of planes I guess many people think they are directly over their house! Triple glazing in my bedroom has helped, but not completely,  though it wasn't installed for that reason.
