Bath Oliver Biscuits.

The large arrowroot biscuits you used to buy in pubs ( my dog used to eat these)

Petite Beurre biscuits ( I think that is how you spell them.)

Everlasting strips from the sweet shop

the old fashioned ironmongers where you could find anything.

Saturday Morning Kids pictures ( showing my age 6d in old money, and a few pence for sweets)

Jubblies


Beer lollies


Cider lollies


Alley Gobs


Captain Hurricane getting into a 'raging fury' and bending and rending pieces of enemy hardware with his bare hands.


'Maggot' Malone. Cockney batman/first mate to the above. "Cor, chase me backwards up Big Ben", that's what he once said. Obviously not realising that Big Ben refers to the bell and not the tower. Naive or lazy ill-informed f@cker?

I bet Captain Hurricane would have had an opihion on the matter. A robust one I'm sure.


Tom Sharpe's ability to write anything funny - since Wilt.


OK then, The Wilt Alternative.


Gary Glitter records on pub juke boxes.


The Wimpy bar in Brixton. It's the Plan B club now and that's fine of course, but it doesn't do me much good when I fancy a cheap burger and chips that would be served on a plate with cutlery of metal and was brought to me at my table by friendly waiters tricked out in bow ties 'n' weskits.

Oh, but never mind me, I'm just being silly.

Blimey H'oochie, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, looks like Tom lost the will to live after your damning critique.

Is this in anyway linked to your psychic music divining business?

Do you take requests?

Don't supose you could put in a bad word against Jilly Cooper?...

Cripes, didn't think he'd take it so much to heart.

Seriously though I'm sorry he's no longer with us.


Just re-bought Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly from a charity shop over the weekend, funny, mad and crude satires of apartheid era South Africa.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
