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.

    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
