It may not be intentional. It was a common schoolboy prank of ours to dye the water in the school fountain various colours. Gentian violet was good for purple.

Why Oh Why in any petrol station can I not find a cold drink which is actually COLD ?

The drinks are installed in a 'fridge' labelled 'cold drinks' but they are positively UNcold to my touch.

If I question the 'coldness' of drinks, however politely, it's taken as some kind of insult or the staff act like the drinks really are cold but it's only me that doesn't realise.

Emperor's new clothes or something like that...

I think ring pulls are outside of Christ?s remit. He?s more for water-into wine, fish sandwiches and leprosy that sort of stuff.

not noticing any aircraft noise (after 6 months of living in ED).


reading all about it on here.


then noticing LOTS of aircraft noise in ED.


wondering if they have recently changed their flight path to specially fly over my bedroom window at 5am (6)


aren't they supposed to fly in a certain way that minimises noise? i read that somewhere so it must be true.


bring back the lovely noisy garden birds please.....

Hmmm... I warned people that changing at Canada Water was not going to be easy...

Agreed Jeremy, but I think that day there was some big exhibition going on at Excel, so more people heading towards Canning Town for the DLR.


I may try staying on the overground til Shadwell and getting DLR from there, although I think it'll take a bit longer.

That this is even a topic for discussion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8730106.stm



A man should always offer a lady his seat regardless of whether she is pregnant or not. Likewise men should stand aside for women to get onto the bus or train.


Where I grew up this was just normal practice but after moving to London 9 years ago I soon learned that the much touted term, English Gentleman is one of this world?s biggest misnomers.


As if there isn?t enough in this fucking world to make me fucking angry.


Arseholes.

People getting off the front of the bus pisses me off. We have a system that has worked well for scores of years, but some people just want to be different. If you have a very bulky item with you and it makes sense to hang around the front to keep it safe, then fair enough, getting off at the front is reasonable, but otherwise....Grrrr!

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
