I've been thinking ( yes me, oh joy ) this for a while.


Other peoples words & phrases stand out so much sometimes we find ourselves adopting them or they evoke a particular place & person


For example Keef wrote-


and the soundtrack is brill (on the feel good movie thread)


Brill is a great word, so 80's and so ready for a revival. Well done Keef !



My mum used to say "I should co-co" if you pushed your luck a bit too far, where did that come from ?

You're back then. Did Admin run you a Dettol bath after a quick swishing and thwacking?

That and TCP, we still use it here.


I do try not to say "See, what did I tell you" when my kids fall/crash/smash bikes/skateboards ect , but boy do I have to try hard.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
