I was thinking of starting off a thread on this whole subject , but I couldnt be arsed . I thought someone was going to do it quite soon anyhow .



I must admit to being a bit partial to the 1992 Genesis masterpiece "Fading Lights " from We Can't Dance .... a nod to the days of Trick Of The Tail and Wind and Wuthering .... nice .



Fish Out Of Water by Chris Squire .... now theirs a good'n

Now Eliza, how do you keep the nan bread good for the next day? I always find it's gone hard.

Lol, I used to love House of Elliot too. I think it was all the art deco sets and the amazing clothes - love the 20s and 30s.


And evaporated milk with tinned fruit cocktail was a real treat for afters when I was a kid, mum had to make sure me and my sister both got a glace cherry or one of us would be unhappy

Oh God..... The X-Factor auditions....


I know, I know, I hate myself.


Every year I promise myself I won't and then MrJ is out and I think I'll just have a quick look and the next thing you know it's the end of a disappointing day in London and Simon's already stormed out once, because it's all just too bad, and then the last audition of the day... it's a cheeky, shy-looking, primary school teacher... the judges aren't expecting much...but what's this? He's brilliant! Simon gives him a standing ovation and tells him it's the best first audition he's EVER heard... And I'm crying....


I am so ashamed.

Anna - heroin addiction/slight recovery/addiction/recovery of some sort/recovery but always chasing the high.

Anna, I'm not saying that's better than X-Factor. No not at all. Nor that it's any more socially productive.

But you never bastard well know, do you?

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
