And of course I'm happy enough being edgy and dapper is as dapper does, but the trilby got on my 'threepennies' after a while, not sufficient brim on it for my liking. Not in the long term. I now sport a homburg.

I knew you'd be bouffant, I felt it in my edginess.

Your suits trouble me, I'll affect an introduction to my tailor, jacket, weskit and two pair pants as standard.

Easy terms.

The last tailor I employed wrote rude things in the linings. I know this because my ex-wife found his obscene jottings when she took the kitchen scissors to the sleeves of my favourite suits. The content provided extra collateral in the ensuing divorce. It's one of two things Prince Charles and I have in common.


Since then it's been off-the-peg for me and custom-made only for Charlie, I believe.

That's why TM it's best not to employ any tradesman who read that NME interview with Jack White of The White Stripes, when he spoke of his time as an upholsterer. He told how he would write notes and messages onto the structure of the furniture he was refurbishing.

My initial thoughts on reading this were "cheeky bastard, how dare he leave unwanted messages, secretly, on the hidden framework of other people's furniture"?

I was all prepared to front him up about it. Not just him but his ex-wife/group member Meg.

In the next copy of NME I saw how Jack duffed up Jason from The Von Bondies. And J from the VBs was a mate.

I thought best leave it for now.

For now and ever since.

Whenever I first saw the name Snorky, I had an image in my head of Gilbert the Alien

Please note, this was NOT anything to do with snorky's posts, it was just something about the name snorky.

Read the book but not seen the movie - I?ve met so few forumites that I can think what I like.


Bigbadwolf ? no idea, but I see him lighting a dynamite stick with his cigar to the theme tune from ?The Great Escape?


HoochieB ? I hear Stephen Fry, but the theme tune is most definitely ?Flash Harry? from St Trinians* . The funniest forumite by furlongs.


Rhinestone Cowboy ? no idea, but I really truly want to believe he?s Brad Pitt hitchhiking in Thelma and Louise. (Note to RC ? please let?s not ever meet. Ever.)


Anasfield ? very active minx; Emma Peel doing ?keepie-uppies?


Lovely Sean ? surely the most bromanced of the forumites?


Jah Lush - In my head was Spring from the Double Deckers. How far off the mark could I have been?


Keef - I actually do know what Keef looks like, which is a terrible shame because I truly want to believe he's Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow, retired from the sea and got a job with the council.


The Peckham Posse ? Rose, Luv, GC ? have they ever been seen in the same place all at once?


Moos ? no clue but like the possibility that she could be Dame Moos. The forum needs a bit of class.


Woofmarkthedog ? a Heinz 57 variety with attitude and then some. I truly do believe he is a canine with keyboard skills.


The Fat Controller ? Alastair Sim?s Headmistress


* useless trivia ? the original St Trinian?s gymslip was from JAGS

Keef - I actually do know what Keef looks like, which is a terrible shame because I truly want to believe he's Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow, retired from the sea and got a job with the council.


Are you suggesting I don't look like Johnny Depp? I think you should look again luv! :-S

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
