I'm sure those things will be taken into consideration.

In the meantime, do you have a hat? And do you require a comfort break?

I have many hats and I'm always up for a comfort break.


Now kind people, this is all a bit cliquey, don't you think?


I mean it's the same people nominating their pals for the 'award' and it can be a little alienating for those of us who are not in the inner sanctum.


Just an observation.


I'm going out to the garden to get in my Anderson shelter, for I'm sure there's an EDF Doodlebug coming with my name on it's nose.

I'll not make any claims for it being a good idea or anything and it might die on it's arse - BUT when you say




I though I had addressed that earlier in the thread? I started it because someone I had never met, never PM's, have no connection with AT ALL, who has posted occasionally, suddenly started posting these delightful little episodes. I thought that was great. Can you please explain to me how that is any evidence of an "inner sanctum" or "pals" getting together?


Put it another way - if several of the posters on this thread post a lot, but many of whom have never met, can post with grace and wit, why is it that someone I HAVE met, and usually seems happy enough to meet, endlessly talks of alienation and inner sanctums?


What are your thoughts on Ted's posts? is there someone else you think people overlook and want to nominate? Join in if you like, don't if you don't - but why knock those that do - especially with made up falsehoods, and then calling it an "observation"?

I've never met Giggirl either, though I did once offer her a part in an imaginary film I was pretending to make.

It was a non-existent co-lead role, too.

Why Moos what a nice compliment.

A chance remark on a lost wallet thread some time back led to the idea being mooted about the time I found a wallet belonging to an ice cream magnate. We bacame firm friends and I ended up marrying his top international model sister.

There was talk of Clooney for the role of me, and Giggirl was all set for the part of my top international model wife.

Sadly the imaginary backers turned out to be the worst sort of scoundrels imaginable and ran off with the counterfeit money.

Even now my pretend lawyers are trying to trace them with a view to serving cigarette papers on them.

Still, that's the imaginary film business for you.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
