Botox. During all the recent media coverage of the floods, I noticed several female presenters standing in howling gales with totally smooth faces, apparently unable to screw their eyes up against the wind and rain. Looked very strange to me.

Not observing things anymore, nor cherishing the memory.


Instead seeing things through the eye of your smart phone and then having to share this with everyone you know three steps removed.


Worse still, being interested in what others are sharing on social media.


Ironic, that I am using social media to share my hatrid of instant information and social media.

Yes Jeremy!!! That's the sort of beard! Not the "I've had one for years because it suits me and/or I can't be arsed to shave". It's the self conscious, hipsteresque "ooh look at me, with my big bushy beard" (with or without beard comb) that gets on my wick.

Ooh, I LOVE salted caramel, though granted it's only the same principle the cookery teacher at school used when making biscuits.


I'd agree about accessory dogs though.


Especially carried while wearing trannie shoes, tramp stamp, Croydon facelift, tarantula eyelashes, scousers, botox, trout pout and tango spray tan.


I feel cleansed now.

It is spreading like a disease. Glad I don't work in an industry where I had to face that all day as I would feel duty bound to correct the user.

Yes, see also 'right' at the end of each sentence. Ok to use sparingly but at the end of every sentence becomes hard on the ears.


There is a great Eddie Izzard sketch where he bemoans the over use of the word 'awesome' by Americans.

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
