So who would play him/her in the movie? Sleepless in East Dulwich.

Err - it wasn't meant to be but, having taken another look, I do so exactly what you mean. "I like a bit of Polly in the mornings". Sounds dirrty. Do you think it might catch on?

Who would play her when the movie gets made?

That's fantastic CitizenED. I like a bit of Polly in the morning.

OK now I'm about to expose my mean streak. Here's a news story that made me pee myself laughing this week. http://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/39250 Basically a nobody band at Reading called the FFs got mistaken for the Foo Fighters. Yeah right. The Foos are so gonna cut short a US tour and pay air-fare just to play a tiny nothing stage at Reading. So a crowd of about 3,000 showed up all dizzy with anticipation and on came the poor old FFs to a very mean reception. Well that was so gonna happen. But here's where it gets freaky. After bottling off the FFs, the crowd actually hung around for the next band and bottled them off as well. For the love of God why would they do that? Was it a slow day? In my mind's eye I'm seeing the scene from the Life of Brian when Brian gets followed home and abused by his "followers". I'm sorry but that really cracks me up (I told you I had a mean streak). The funniest thing of all (for me) is that my friend Paul actually used the C word and called them all a bunch of mean-spirited Cs. My friend Paul NEVER uses that word so that alone sets me off and just the memory of it made me laugh out loud on the 176 this morning. Finally, if you believe the NME report, shoes were thrown at the stage. How freakin pissed off/stoned do you need to be to throw your shoes at someone and spend the rest of the day barefoot?

It's a fabulous tree. What's not to like? Embrace it and move on.

Pierre - it's you isn't it? You're the **** with the blue BWM on Sylvester Road. Let's get two things absolutely straight. Number one, I wear very high heels and I don't run fast. Number two, if you're going to flip me off then don't do it whilst singing along to Bon Jovi because that's just so wrong.

Is it just me or are The Pogues getting more Christmassy than turkey and tinsel? How many nights at Brixton did they do last year? Did anyone from the forum go? Is there a view as to whether they might add the Saturday night? I would quite like to go but would prefer the Saturday. http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/artist/932291?camefrom=CFC_UK_BUYAT_beatthetouts&brand=uk_partner http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=search&referral_id=eshotlond&interface=amg&search=pogues&referral_id=tw_uk_buyat

Do you know how many f*ckwits there are on our roads (ballpark figure someone, anyone?). Jeez - imagine them all driving round Lambeth making judgement calls. I would never leave home again.

Years ago I was at a business lunch once where one of my guest ordered, and ate, a plate of snails. I made an excuse to leave the table, went outside into the fresh air, and physically shook. I returned 10 minutes later (when the first course had been cleared) but, suffice it to say, it wasn't one of my best days.

Clive Honey, did you not see the word "irrational" in the title thread?

Fear of slugs - I'm rooted to the spot in fear if I see one, it's like time freezes and I can't move

Britney Spears sounds bad. Now I know that's not really a surprise but, really, it's worse than you think. Go on, have a little listen. http://www.snarkygossip.com/2008/08/20/how-does-britney-spears-really-sound-you-might-be-surprised/

I'm just leaving for Glyndebourne to see Carmen. If you see someone in full evening dress in Lordship Lane, that's mee. Say hi.

I have 3 palm trees in my garden. I planted them 12 years ago and, despite being shamefully neglected, they are thriving. So everyday's a holiday for me.

Ms Smalls - what street are you on? I'm curious.

When the Foo Fighters were just starting out they supported the Stones. Guess what - the Stones wouldn't give them a guest list - made them pay for tickets - how tacky is that.

Nobody tops the Stones when it comes to greed, except maybe Madonna. But they're a great band so I stumped up the ?150 (didn't go to O2 but went to Twickenham). What can you do? Stay home - I don't think so.
