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


*walks away tail between legs feeling unattractive*

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
