You know this actually really irritates me. Every morning and evening I stand aside for the ladies to get on the bus and train first. Mostly though I end up standing aside for all the besuited fucksticks who push on without a care in the world for anything but themselves.


Though these days that probably counts as sexist behaviour and as soon as the thought police read this they?ll be ?round my house with one of them asbos to strap around my ankle.

I hate to add to the new fangled pottymouthity going on here, but Brendan's "fucksticks", at the time referring to the spiky-haired variety found in the frontbottom fishbowl (to paraphrase) that is Foxtons, was far and away my favourite neoligism of 2007.

I reiterate my bravo to you sir.

Bravo.

Ah but does he, MP? Does he?

It seems to me that these young fellows today conduct their ablutions with bottles of vivid colour unguents, smelling of lavender geranium or pansy.

They also contain essential oils, whatever they might be when they're at home, but not 3-In-1 I'll be bound.

Give the youth of today a bar of soap and they'd likely as not eat it.

I don't know.


I really don't.

"Give the youth of today a bar of soap and they'd likely as not eat it"


More likely snort it or inject it. Bloody tear-aways.


Is it time for my nap yet?


Oh lawks there is an RAF flypast on the telly soon, must stay awake for that. The only thing that is worth watching nowadays, that and the Antiques Roadshow, even that has gone down the hill since Hugh Skully left.

Have you seen who's taking over the next series? Fiona Bruce. Yes you heard right Fiona Bruce.

That's 44 year old Fiona Bruce. Ruddy female's barely out of a gymslip and they've got her presenting a show about antiques.

It'll be full of Pyrex, Tupperware and Barbie dolls you mark my words.


We're going to hell in a handcart.

    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth. 
    • Slightly different but the second hand bookshop on Adys road / close to the corner with Maxted might be interested? https://www.books-peckham.com/
    • Thanks for posting, it reminded me of all the interesting survey work I used to do with these people
