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

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
