Hona is an acquired taste.


Would you like to acquire him?


p.s. Personally I would like to keep him as a pet, in a cage naturally, feed him, buy him new sandals or a new dufflecoat occassionally, and, in return, for his bed, board and cage he would entertain me all day with his amusing anecdotes, vivid vignettes and fabulously fertile imagination.:)

Your contributions are always welcome Ted Max but, we both know, Moos is more than capable of speaking up for herself, I'll await her response.


Obviously, regular users of Internet fora are aware of ambiguities and misunderstandings that can arise when a comment is made so they, often, use symbols to avoid the chance of that occurring, but as this has not happened this time, I agree it does appear an "either/or" situation as you suggest, which is why I would like some clarification from the authoress of said remark.

Haha, brilliant, really? Other users of internet forums find that certain comments so very much speak for themselves as not to require unspeakable emoticons. (still others of us find emoticons so hideous that we try to make our language speak for itself)


I wouldn't dare speak for Moos, but have to ask, seriously Tony???


And on the subject of brain fritters, I'm hungry. Anyone got any going spare?

I found a supply of cucumber relish in a pound shop in Brixton, actually it's gherkin relish by your old favourites Branston.

It's not as good as the Bix's cucumber relish which has disappeared from the shelves, it's a little too vinegary, the Bix's stuff had a nice sweetness which offset the saltiness of bacon just right.

And now I come along and find it being recommended as a condiment to accompany fried portions of my brain.

Stone me, what a carve up.

I'm having second thoughts about TLS's offer now.

It's going to have to be a very good offer, that's all I can say.

I've known many respected, intelligent Forumites be misunderstood on various Fora over the years, as some comments can be intrepreted in more than one way.


As you know it happens in life too when someone tells someone "they were only joking" ..other times they make it clear they were not joking at all.

Oh Tony, come now, you can't in all earnestness think that Moos might be accusing you of keeping people in cages?


Unless, unless, oh my, has she stumbled too close to your little secret? Come to think of it, where IS Moos, she's suddenly mysteriously very quiet...

The thing about cucumber relish is maintaining the textural integrity of the cucumber, against the mush-inducing salt and tang of the vinegar and onion. I have no idea who or what Bix was, but if they managed that in a commercial product then I mourn their passing as I would that of a friend's beloved aunt that I have never personally met.


But rethinking this, given this is your brain we're talking about Hona (85% rock 'n' roll, 15% "something in the rag trade", 5% Peroni) I'd recommend something milder. Perhaps a soothing raita.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • 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.
