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.:)

With you around as my permanent Buddy, I won't need either of these! I'll live to be 130>:D<

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.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
