Imagine my excitement when I discovered that today the Mail on Sunday was printing an exclusive extract of the latest Dan Brown novel.


How to gauge its value and measure its worth against the free Smiths DVD given away by the Indie?


I found myself in quite the pickle - which, oh which to buy?

Yeah quids, what are you on about - OFM today, with extracts from the new Nigel Slater (I would imagine a far superior read to the extract from the Dan Brown, but as I don't actually enjoy bleeding eyes, couldn't tell you for certain).


Yay for me and my bleeding heart (if not eyes) - I bought the Indie AND the Observer - keeping the papers afloat single-handed (apart from that MacGabhann fella).


Unfortunately wolfie, I couldnae steal the DVD, as it's a send-away type offer. Also, my bleeding heart just wouldn't allow it. You and your stony Times-reading heart can keep your Shawshank (one of the best films of all time hyperbole nonsense!) I've already got it anyway.


Boy am I in high spirits this evening - even if I put my chicken in the oven really late and am only going to get a sandwich when Waking the Dead's nearly finished.


Oversharing, me?

Yes, I think so too - but I believe the Birthday Boy was talking about Dan Brown, so I concluded that SeanMac was misdirecting his ire.


But what do I know? I read trashy books, and enjoy them*.


*Yes, I know, cross me off, blah blah blah. Like I was going to get one anyway.

Rosie read me right, Moos read the situation right and I see quids meant Dan-o now


So I was wrong and an especially carefully crafted cardboard christmas c... no I can't alliterate any more - but quids is back on the list. Moos was never off it

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
