Me too. A weak joke based on the juxtaposition of her sig and her post. Am I really likely to be implying that PR is chasing up funeral business on the EDF?


Just to add, there is no actual child, ill or otherwise, ball, winter or even autumn, for that matter. There is a Green, though.

Let me explain here Mr. U+00A3 esquire.


Green also means, new, inexperience and un-ripened. Autumn is therefore ?green winter? or ?winter green? if you insist on being all poetic and shit. It has all the potential to be winter but hasn?t yet dipped its wick as it were.


The metaphor then stretches further into the realms of horticulture with the ball symbolising the seed of the season?s decline which is planted in autumn and ripens to fruition into winter.


Here the writer is cleverly juxtaposing the common imagery of life blossoming in the summer with his intentional reversal of the concept.


He then goes on to mention ?patinates? (which I think were Victorian, ladies under things) and ?taught skin? which just goes to show that like most authors he is using his art as a thinly veiled indulgence of his own perversions and is probably also a communist.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
