I'm personally against penguin suits, think of all the poor penguins that have died in the name of fashion. Although the suits are pretty waterproof.


(Please disregard this comment if the suits are made from the Penguin chocolate bars,it would get a little messy when it rains.)

Look, as I think most people reaslised, when I said should we glam up I meant - pull your favourite dress out of the back of the wardrobe or put on a pretty top or jewellery (as Moos suggested) or wear something red or sparkly for Christmas.


I didn't, of course, mean get your hair done, buy a whole new outfit, go completely nuts.


And anyway, as I've said already, it was only a suggestion.


But the point of the drinks has always been to be inclusive, so if the idea of dressing up would put anybody off then it's not a good idea.

Oh yes. And Christmas tree ornament earrings, natch.


But more seriously, an elegant shade of garnet, yes indeed. I think you would look lovely. Anna and Mathilda can wear orange-red or scarlet. LegalEagle and I can wear ruby red. Belle and buggie (damn them) can wear whatever shade of red they please. There's a red for us all. Possibly even under the bed, if we get really lucky, fnar.

*Shudders*


I'm sorry but I really must complain about you using the C-word. There are some of us here of a frail and nervous disposition who are not only offended but appalled by your flagrant disregard for other people's feelings in using this dreadful word in such a casual manner.


Consider yourself ticked off.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
