Best things ever sold/offered in the EDF classifieds...

[????]

...currently an 'Adult naughty chair' on offer...can that be bettered?

[????]

..my mum is still asking me what I want for Christmas but don't think I can ask for this....

[mockney piers]

Is that like a naughty step?

[????]

erm.....sort of Mockney, but for, erm, 'adult'naughtiness *cough* disciplining etc....Do I have to spell it out?

[mockney piers]

Eff eye el tea haich?

I'm shocked!! I shall be reporting this to admin.

*sighs*

I'm clearly as bored as you are. Are we the only people stupid enough to still be in an office?

[*Bob*]

I've been called back to rush-out a last-minute musical botch-job.

I'm with you. (For about an hour)

[Brendan]

Mugs.

[Brendan]

Oh wait.

[*Bob*]

I'm old enough to remember the heyday of the sold/offered section.

These days it's just a useful place for people to sell and buy stuff.

[mockney piers]

How many did the one pint turn into yesterday?

[sophiesofa]

I liked the glass coffee table with a lion as the base a couple of months ago.

[Nero]

Hitler's Diaries (offered by a Mr A Neill, wanting a quick sale);

Ark of the Covenant (one of a pair - could find more if anyone interested);

What a Load of Grit - The Good Neighbour's Guide to Winter-time Politesse (still on offer)

[mockney piers]

I'm pretty sure that's not true bob. I was under the impression it was all a thinly disguised dogging site.

Television means a watcher, speakers means a doer (mono speaker obviously for a one man/woman show).

Wattage or screen size denotes a time and the brand the place, aiwa is Peckham rye, bang &olufsen dulwich park etc.

"Comes with remote control"

Oh dear god, you might be right..

[Brendan]

5. And then I went shopping for Christmas booze.

[Keef]

I'm still here too, and will be tomorrow.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when, Fear N' Boozin (under his alterego of CrystalClear) requested a girlfriend in the wanted section. Dulwichmum ended up calling him a cad after deciding to set him up with someone.

That always made me chuckle.

[RosieH]

Pray tell - what did he do that was caddish? I'm all aquiver with anticipation. This is a very promising story that can distract me from writing a tedious board report in an empty office.

As for the chair - nice idea, but I'm a bit concerned about the possible combustible qualities when man-made fibres are exposed to high levels of friction. Could be a scenario in which the lamentable KoL Sex on Fire song really comes into its own.

[Keef]

I'd forgotten just how surreal things could get in those early days!

[david_carnell]

When it was a combined section the "cat flap fitter" thread was something truly special.

Colin (the cat flap fitter in question) was special too, just in a different way.

[RosieH]

Oh my god - I remember this now.

Legendary (I too had been confused about CrystalClear and taken him for a lady until that shot of him at the bus stop). Nice work fellas.

[PeckhamRose]

Bread Machine. ?20. Bought off lilly123 and used regularly ever since and is fabulous.

[womanofdulwich]

*bursts out laughing*

Oh my Lawd...you are funny womanofdulwich! They did go...eventually...but not to Mrs. Thatcher...she completely blanked me and my mats! (Another snub to add to my collection - *giggles mischievously*)!

[dulwichmum]

OHMYGOD! Keef, thank you for posting that. How funny to see old conversations, quite hilarious.

Is Crystal still single then? My friend Sarah has grown a beard of late if it helps...

I had a chuckle at that one too. I think one of the paws was broken as well which made it even more tempting
